The issue behind the dogma of science and maths is that it only considers the physical aspect of reality. Quantum science on the other hand delves into the metaphysical and yet I have heard very little from its proponents that make the connection between the spiritual and the physical. Is this perhaps because the boundaries of science forbid them to make the connection but in fact do personally see the obvious but are afraid to speak out.
I have always believed in God and the amazing connection to our physical reality and I have also seen how physics can contradict this. In my mind science is slowly catching up with the truth but it is so radical that many refuse to see it.

I must confess I have not been a very avid reader of the scriptures. For some reason I have always found it difficult to absorb, being confused by interpretation and what I perceived as contradiction.
That hasn't stopped me from professing my Christianity though and I have taken from the bible what I could.
I have always seen a huge difference between the God of Christianity and the God of the old testament.
I think rather than shake my faith by picking and choosing between what I perceived as the truth and what I rightly or wrongly viewed as manipulation to benefit those who preached the word, I have made my own covenant with God. I truly believe that this has been accepted because I feel blessed.
The way you have interpreted the word is refreshing as I can understand with my heart through your metaphor your understanding of the meaning of the sabbath. I see your conclusion to mean that the "rest" he spoke of is the settling of duality so that love is at the core of your being.
42 is the hitchhikers revelation and I think it took a computer the size of a small planet to figure that one out.

I think from reading your last few posts that you too take from the bible that which resonates with your spirit.
My belief in the afterlife is complete and my understanding of Christ and God is far more gentle than that which the bible would have me believe, particularly the old testament.
I think because I have not studied the scriptures, I have not developed a bias towards believing in an angry God or a jealous God or a vengeful God and I truly believe that God does not want me to love him for fear of retribution. I love him for his spiritual beauty his unconditional love and his compassion which I do with my whole being.
Please forgive me for not fully understanding your need to relate everything back to the bible. I hope you can accept that I have formed my own relationship with God, that is for me, real and tangible. We are both journeying to the same destination but we have chosen different paths. If I am turned away when my time comes then I must accept my fate.
To bring the thread back to topic I think that any discussion that tries to understand the process of creation or in scientific parlance the unified field theory will hit a brick wall, unless it considers our consciousness and our awareness, of an intelligent hand that has put into place the most perfect blueprint for our existence on this plane.
Science can only work with the knowledge gained in this density with it's limited knowledge of the physical laws and in my view, it only scratches the surface of the truth. Like the flatlanders the only perspective we can work with is that of the physical in a 3 dimensional landscape. Until science accepts that the laws of physics do not apply beyond these confines they will continually fail to understand creation.

After listening to Chuck Missler, I believe you could be on to something by studying the bible
It would appear that much of what we are learning to day has already been stated.

That would require science to come up with a frequency perfectly tuned to the quantum resonance of the carrying particle and I have a feeling that this is outside of the spectrum that we can currently detect. Would we need to create an instrument that is capable of receiving and transmitting on this minute frequency?
