Post #3 The Creation of Creation

A foremost scientific concept says that Creation resulted from the Big Bang-"when photons of light were first set free and created the cosmic microwave background." (Steve Nadis. Astronomy. April 2007). Out of a void, out of nothingness, an event occurred and occurs that unfolds from a beginning and hastens to an end. Creation, made up of Time, Place, and Matter, existing or non-existing in a void of nothingness in which vague parameters designate Place, spinning and rotating cycles designate Time, and from these comes Matter/Substance, the stuff of earth including humanity. Creation, according to science, is the stuff of atoms and basic elements. Both religion and science ( faith and reason) admit to an ending that is understood by religion as a prediction, "heaven and earth will pass away..." (Mark 13:31) and by science as an observation of the break-down of atoms into smaller and smaller subatomic particles until finally losing all definition, also just pass away.

That Creation , beginning as an event, is moving to and approaching its end is becoming more apparant with each passing day. This movement, this process, from beginning to end, from life to death, is accelerating as is the universe accelerating. The recently discovered fact of an accelerating universe blew scientists' previous assumption of a decelerating universe totally apart. A mysterious energy is said to be responsible for the accelerated rate at which galaxies and space itself are being pushed apart. Space systematically is expanding as galaxies are being carried along with its movement.

Creation is process. Process is movement. Movement defines beginning and end. The movement of Creation, however, is not toward wholeness or unity, but is a movement that is constantly breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces, each piece carrying an imprint, a memory. Reference for this concept comes from religion and from science-from faith and from reason. According to biblical Genesis, the action of creation is described as separation: God SEPARATED light from darkness, water from above from water from below, sky from land, and finally, humanity SEPARATED into male and female. Science, defining creation from the instant of the Big Bang, sees this movement not as a formation but as a release of atoms that SEPARATED into basic elements. This movement of creation, then, is a movement of division. At each increment of this movement, the rate of division accelerates. This observation of movement is called Time. Consequently Time is also occuring at a rate of accelerating division. The movement of Time accelerates at each increment, each increment a further breakdown into smaller and smaller pieces. These pieces then move farther and farther apart at accelerating rates of speed. Creation, then, can best be described as a process-a process of division. Accordingly, creation does not seem to be Real. Real assumes entity. Creation divides. Creation divides over and over again creating its own beginning and its own death.
