My G.O.D.
Wrote Your Bible
Those words sound like fighting words, but hopefully
if you choose to read on no words about a god will ever induce you to fight. Most of us have our own individual concept of
god. This is mine and I hope you will
like it.
Grand
Omnipotent
DNA
G.O.D. or GOD is to me an acronym, not a
spiritual being. It is the DNA or system of The Entire
Universe. Not the DNA of any living
thing, but of The Universe. I actually
don’t know if what we call The Universe is a living thing and since I’m
agnostic it remains to me a question. A
DNA is a system, so we are talking about the system, or systems that control
and perhaps ruled over the creation of The Universe. It doesn’t work without systems or
rules. It doesn’t come into being,
evolve or continue to exist without consistent rules. They are required in so many ways. For instance, without the system of
centrifugal force (mass, inertia, gravity) ruling their orbits, heavenly bodies
would have no predictable paths.
Collisions would be common and irregular extreme environments on the
various planets would not sustain life.
Location of planets and atoms would be random. The system, GOD, is eternal, or at the very
least, throughout known history, we have seen no changes in the systems, only a
better understanding of them. The
acronym GOD is an attempt to remove the rationalization required to hate or
murder anyone in the name of God and to create a god that does not offend
reason or require us to suspend our disbelief. Science studies these rules and systems,
trying to understand them. It is a never
ending study.
Let’s return to the meaning of the
acronym. Grand implies immense size or importance. Omnipotent
implies power and control over all. We
like to add knowledge of all events past, present and future. I think that concept humanizes omnipotence
and I am not ready to humanize a creator.
It seems obvious to me that there is nothing human about that which
controls or created the Universe. DNA is a complex system (and luckily it
also begins with “D”). So, GOD is a
system or systems that control The Universe.
Do you see a problem with that or anything that seems unreasonable about
the idea? You studied scientific systems
in high school and before. You have
lived with them since you had awareness and before.
I claimed at the beginning of this blog that
“My G.O.D. wrote your bible.” It
did. In this amazing working system all
things have room to exist. Bibles, books,
bikes, baseballs and galaxies … all are within the system. Hands wrote those bibles and those hands were
within the system. The word “My” in the
quote doesn’t belong there. I put it
there to get your attention. I don’t
claim ownership. The GOD of the acronym
wrote all bibles and bibles are obvious mythology. One bible is as true as the next. Mythology falls within the system. Nothing is outside of it.
Are there assertions in this blog that you
don’t agree with? I wrote it as a
reminder of how friendly and necessary the operating system is. When you pray, is anyone listening? Part of me says, no. But part of me says there is awareness and a
spirit within you that does hear and it may go beyond that. Since I’m an agnostic, it remains a
question. Thinking about reality is
wonderful entertainment. Trust it. It is probably why you are here. We live in a world surrounded by many
untruths. Attaining more accurate
awareness requires questioning our beliefs.
Faith need not apply.
