FOR THE SPIRITUAL FUTURIST

Hello and welcome to the blog where those of us that obsess over the workings of the a living universe can find some "out there" thoughts on the future, God/Universe/YHWH, or whatever you want to call all of existence.

It gets deep and heavy and for those of us that may not agree with the proposed considerations here, it will probably just sound crazy. But it is easy to sound crazy when your projecting hundreds of years, thousands of years, or even until the end of the Universe.

If you think about it, if we did not trust (or have faith) in the resumes of our world's brightest physicist (of which one I have the pleasure to know) the things they say about the Universe would sound crazy.
So please approach this blog with an open mind.

In closing, my first "crazy" thought to offer any visitors is a way of thinking that will permeate all of my entries here:

Atheists and 'Believers' actually agree on a lot. Our definitions of a YHWH are simply different.

(Hebrew word for "God" but more literally meaning, "He Who allowed to exist all that exists." But some Jews even go further as to say YHWH represents something unexplained that has allowed all to exist.)

If we could all agree on the definition of what a "Creator" of the Universe would be, if it exists, we would find that the two factions of this philosophical debate are not as much at odds as both sides believe they are.

So if you like to think about the existence of life, our amazing ability as human beings to ponder the Universe, and the future, you've come to the right place.

So long as no posters here claim to have the answer to everything, all thoughts are welcome. (If you claim to know everything I simply won't believe you.)

Where do I get off Saying that Atheists and "Believers" have Lot in Common?

Simply put, both sides of the debate believe that conditions existed for the creation of the Universe.
"Believers" simply call these conditions God, YHWH, Allah, or whatever word a cultures of the world have chosen to use.

The real difference is in the behavior of the conditions that allowed existence.
Atheists would argue though that there is no force intervening with the normal procedure of events in the Universe.

I've come to learn though that because we are here, many scientist believe that there is not separate force that intervenes with worldly events but would also suggest that there is a God which is existence and our observation of the concept allows our interaction with the Universe to the point where it is as if the Universe is living and interacting with us.  So it is as if there is a personified entity even though it really just a part of our existence here.

The point is, both believers and non believers agree that we exist and there is a cause for our existence.
Although Steven Hawking's new book suggests that there is no cause for the big bang and that quantum mechanics offers proof of that because electrons can pop in and out of existence randomly without cause or reason.  But still, I would argue that that electron that popped into existence, sparking the Big Bang is what would could call and example of YHWH (I prefer this word and meaning for a creator.)  The irony is that quantum mechanics also suggest that our observation of the Universe can directly affect it's nature.

This is going to get fun.  Based on a lot of research of quantum mechanics, physics, and religion I'm hoping that I will find others out there who have found some of the same theories or considerations about the Universe and our place in it.
