Bible Question:
Zerotheory, It souds like an attempt to merge philosophy, logic, and science. Science is related only to this physical universe and the present rules of physics. Since God is not bound by the laws of physics, isn't this a hopeless attempt? Also, is Stephen Hawking involved in formulation of this "Zero Theory"? Pastor Glenn |
Bible Answer: Hello Pastor Glenn! I'm only an amateur at bible study, but here's my best guess: Granted, God is not bound by the laws of physics, the laws of physics are created and bound by God. However, we as humans must look at what our comparatively tiny minds can comprehend. For instance, if you dropped a rock and it went up or flew laterally instead of falling down, would you be confused or would you feel this is the work of God? Physics and logic are our attempt to predict how things will work, though of course God can go on manual override at any time. |
