The Mathematical Equation Of God
Checkmate
By Phil Scovell
I am no scientist. I did dissect a frog in high school biology
class, he was dead of course, but I doubt that ranks me up there with
the great scientific minds of the world today. For that matter, I
never cared for math all that much in the first place. I even dropped
out of my second year of high school algebra the second I found out
you didn't need two years of algebra to graduate at that time. I did
become slightly more interested in mathematics in general when I
studied, at the age of 13, for my amateur radio exam, and subsequent
exams over the years, as I progressed up the latter.
At the age of ten, I found electronics very interesting. When I
discovered a friends TV repair shop in his basement, I began spending
hours asking all kinds of questions as he worked at his bench. Seeing
my definite interest, he began taking me on house calls and teaching
me what he knew.
One day he said, "Phil, you need to get your ham radio license
with your interest in electronics." I didn't know what he was talking
about so after that house call that night, he took me into his radio
room, turned on all the equipment, and I was hooked.
About this same period of time, my father became ill at work one
day and three weeks later, he died unexpectedly. Six months following
his death, I began having problems with my retinas and a year after my
father's death, and more than a dozen eye operations, I was totally
blind.
I never forgot all the fascinating things about electronics and
when we moved to Nebraska and I began attending the school for the
blind, a student befriended me who just so happened to be studying for
his ham radio exam. The school had a ham station set up and by age
fourteen, I had my license.
What's all this have to do with God? Haven't you ever wondered
who and what God is? He has personality, this we know, as Christians
I mean, and we read about His persona throughout the Scriptures but
what is He? By that I mean, what is God made of, or spoken correctly,
of what is God made? This question alone, to some, is disrespectful
and even irreverent. It may, in the minds of some, be sacrilegious
and blasphemous. However, in my healing journey and walk with the
Lord these past fifty years, I have learned that God isn't afraid of
my questions. Why should He be? He knows all the answers.
Generally speaking, we know what we are made of, that is, we know
that all things are made of matter. Matter is essentially atoms. We
can't see these tiny little solar systems but when they are collected
together in one place, they make up the wooden desk I am seated at,
the chair I am sitting on, the keyboard I am typing with, and as my
computer runs, trillions of atoms or doing their thing in my office,
streaming down the cable to a satellite dish, out into space, passing
through a geosynchronous satellite thousands of miles above the earth,
back down again to a ground based receiving satellite dish, and flows
through all sorts of wires and cables and fiber optic lines, and
continues its speed of light journey into your computer as you read
this article about God. We can't see the with the naked eye, of
course, but none of us have any problems believing we are sitting on a
chair, watching television, listening to the radio, viewing the stars
at night, or looking up into the sky and seeing clouds drifting by
with the sun shining nearby. Scientifically, on the other hand, many
find the concept of God impossible to believe. After all, seeing is
believing? Yes, I know we can see some things which are invisible,
such as atoms, if we used specially designed electron microscopes.
Even many of the lights we see in the sky at night, which we call
stars, are not even there any longer because some of the starlight we
see were, I say were, emitted millions of years ago, we are told, and
are flashing over the vastness of empty space from dead stars. Yet,
because we are hundreds of millions of light years away, we are only
seeing their left over light emissions before the stars, or suns,
winked out of existence.
Then there are black holes. No one has ever seen one but
mathematically, it is believed they are there. This is what I was
getting to. The scientist, although he cannot now, nor ever will be
able, to see certain aspects of our universe outwardly, or inwardly,
that is atomically and subatomically, still believes that certain
things he cannot see exists based upon mathematical calculations. At
first, therefore, scientists could not calculate something as complex
as God but then came quantum mechanics.
Not only am I not a scientist but I am not a teacher of any of
the sciences. I am likewise not a theologian or a Bible scholar. So
what you are about to read is only basic in nature from a layman's
viewpoint and understanding of what he has read. It isn't even
necessary you understand a single word I say but you can still know
God on an intimate personal level that literally few people in the
world, or even throughout history, have ever spiritually experienced.
Let's get one question out of the way right off the bat. "Is God
a hypermathematical equation?" The scientist, or the quantum
physicist, might say such was possible, although I don't know if
anyone has ever tried mathematically theorizing God's existence and
composition, but that is only because he believes more in
mathematically based theory than he does eternal knowledge. In other
words, 1 times one can only be one. Of course, this same physicist
believes in parallel universes all coexisting simultaneously. Some
believe that everything a black hole sucks into its bottomless pit
dimensions is crushed to barely above the level of matter, including
light itself, and is then deposited at the end of the black hole into
another universe. Mathematically, of course, it is theorized these
parallel universes exist. Some have black holes, they say, and some
don't. This is convenient because then matter is never destroyed but
transferred to another universe. You see, a basic law of physics is
that matter, or information, that is data, can never be destroyed,
that is, made nothing. Some theorize that just such a black hole from
another parallel universe belched out our present universe in which we
live. Some even call this even "The Big Bang." I'm sure you've heard
of that. In reality, there was a big bang once upon a time. When God
said, "Let there be light," and there was light. Bang! Perhaps I
digress. Let's get back to who God is or what he is.
Recently, I heard this illustration from a scientist which I
thought was apropos. He wasn't a Christian but I think he hit the
nail on the head without even realizing it. He described quantum
mechanics in this manner.
Let's reduce the entire universe to a chest board with all of
it's pieces in place on the board ready for a game. If you have ever
played chest against your computer, perhaps you have experienced the
same thing a friend of mind did many years ago. This was back in the
days when computers, home computers, were nothing more than game
machines. Games were loaded into the 8K of memory by plugging in a
cassette type like cartridge. My friend, one day, loaded his chest
game. He had been playing against the computer for some time but was
getting bored so he selected the highest level the software was
capable of playing. He made his move and then sat and watched the
screen. The computer, as primitive as it was in those days for home
usage, just sat there. The screen indicated the computer was working,
or thinking, about its move. He waited a few more minutes. Nothing
changed. The computer, of course, was attempting to figure out every
logical move possible to win the game. My friend went and got a cup
of coffee and returned. Nothing had changed. He got up, after
downing his coffee, and went and did some work around the house and
yard and came back an hour later. The computer was still working on
it's first move. He switched the computer off.
Comparing this, the scientist said, to a quantum mechanics
computer, of which there are none, at this writing, in existence, but
theoretically they claim one is possible, it would see the entire
universe, with all of its visible and invisible, elements,
collectively. Such a quantum computer could function totally
independently on every single aspect of the chest match and logically
to the completed end of the game. In other words, a quantum computer
could never lose. It could be thinking, independently, and
simultaneously, on every possible move unlimitlessly and it would all
occur at the exact same time. In short, the quantum computer would
never make a mistake and never be wrong. Sound like anybody you know?
Now, the scientist said, we can expand this concept to the entire
universe and to all the parallel universes since quantum mechanics and
quantum physics.
About this time, I began laughing as I listened to the
explanation of the quantum physicist. When we moved beyond the DOS
stage of computer functionality, multi tasking has become the norm.
Most of us using computers, run various programs all at the same time
without even being aware of their presence. Sound like anybody you
know? If there is a God, therefore, theoretically speaking, of
course, and He has created everything and even maintains everything
simultaneously, is should be clear God is infinite. Of course, such
is exactly the case according to the Bible in Colossians 3:15-17 and I
quote: "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all
creation:
16 for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the
earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or
dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created
through him, and unto him:
17 and he is before all things, and in him all things consist."
In mathematic quantum mechanics theory, therefore, does God
exist? If so, how and what is He? He isn't a mathematic equation
because he is infinite. Therefore, no mathematical calculation could
compute God. The quantum mechanics characteristics of His existence
merges theory with fact. His creation confirms His existence of real.
What is he? He is like his creation, that is, man because He created
us in His image. Who is God and of what is He made?
1 times 1 equals God. Checkmate!
