Light and metaphors
Today in the shower I started thinking about light, how physicist can’t really explain light and how many great minds have postulated theories about it’s existence but mostly they are about how light reacts, reflects, travels and refracts. Over coffee I was thinking about how light reflecting off the moon travels to earth at a speed of about 299,796,000 m/s it takes about 1.2 seconds to reach earth.
I started thinking of how God describes Himself as light and how in nature we see a natural order of things and how the presence of light opposed to its absence (darkness) is a metaphor between good and evil. It is amazing to think about things like this, how without light and heat from the sun we would be a planet of popsicles; frozen in darkness.
Do you believe there are metaphors in the natural world?
Sometimes it feels like i am a tightrope walker, in a circus,
with hundreds of people looking on from the crowd. Watching to see if i will fall... 
Light…interesting stuff.
I have been doing a lot of online research on science vs God, and I have been astounded by the study of quantum physics and how it seems (at least to me) to point to an intelligent designer (God).
The famous and well documented “split light experiment” which is both widely accepted and at the same time, completely unexplained by world class physicist is but one prime example.
If you are familiar with this experiment, you know that light behaves as both a wave and as particles, depending on whether or not if is observed by a conscious entity .
Common sense and traditional science tells us that this is impossible.
Quantum physics is knocking on the door of this startling concept, know as “The Observer Effect”, which states “there is not phenomenon until it is observed”.
I find this to be mind blowing and while most of the articles I have read are way over my head, the conclusion that I have reached is that there is most definitely something (God)
out there which is both unexplainable by science and apart from the everyday physical universe which we humans are able to perceive.
I would be most interested in you thoughts on this.
Hi Jim thanks for the comment feel free to sign up for the mailing list. I do know about the split light theory known also as double split it is amazing that these things can be observed by true science. Another theory I like is young Earth theory, which proposes that the earth is not millions but thousands of years old, it can blow your mind thinking about these things. A girlfriend in my past was a physics major well teacher really are she couldn’t wrap her head around the idea of intelligent design, I love that your mind is open to this thought.
One thing the bible says is that God shows him self in nature – ok fine that’s one thing but when we observe nature as the study (science) we see things that look as though they have to be designed. And example it a theory or idea I’ve been thinking about maybe I should term it the “relative effect” how we are dependant or a series of natural occurrences in order for our ability to survive. What I mean is that there are so many things that have to happen in the natural for us to survive that the mathematical probabilities of this happening without design is improbable.
e.g., the sun is set on an axes of about 23.5 degrees one inch either way we would either be frozen of cooked, how tree’s provide oxygen and relieve carbon monoxides, how our bodies are made of minerals we need to constantly replenish so on and so on.
When you mentioned the observer affect I though of Schrödinger’s cat theory research this it is interesting, because it explains this idea. I don’t know too much about this stuff but I love thinking outside the box into probabilities.
