A Fourth Continuation on the Horrible Dogmatic Partnership of the Physical Sciences, Life Scientists, and Medical Doctors

I have concluded that Victor Stenger’s book on "God: The Failed Hypothesis" would be very helpful in discussions between believers and nonbelievers and among study groups in churches, synagogues, and mosques. Stenger’s book can also be compared with my book, "The First Scientific Proof of God, " and my responses to Stenger’s book on my blogs on this website. In this blog, I challenge Stenger’s belief in Ch. 4 that the universe is a closed system and comes to an end.

The origin of Stenger’s belief comes from the concept of ‘time’ and the opposites, beginning and ending. Most physical scientists today say the universe begins at the time, t = 0. They also say the universe end because its energy is limited. Because of this beginning and limit, they say that the entropy of the universe can become maximum and will die. Maybe Christian physicists confirm this end because Jesus Christ said that sun dies in Matthew, Ch. 24. However, these physical scientists do not study the concept known as thing-in-itself. Things-in-themselves have the property of independence and give them degrees of freedom.

I say that God does not exist in time. So, I say that God did not include a time-clock in the things-in-themselves. Time is thus created by man. Since a monotheistic God is an infinite thing-in-itself, I conclude that God creates an ontological sequence of finite ‘things–in-themselves.’ I thus say that all finite things-in-themselves are created all at once because God does not exist in time. I believe that the impulse function in mathematics applies only the acts of God.

Some religions also make this timing error when they read verse 8 in Ch. 1 of the Book of Revelations in the Bible and conclude that God’s creation has a beginning (Alpha) and an ending (Omega). Some religions also make this timing error when they read Moses’ creation and conclude that God needed six days to create the universe and that God stopped the creation on the seventh day. These days do not represent different times. These days represent different phases in the development of the universe.

God’s creation is a phased process that has no beginning or end. It is thus not a timed process that comes to an end. However, all finite things-in-themselves have a beginning, middle, and end because they strive continuously to become more and more like God. But, none these things can become perfected and become God Accordingly, the universe is always developing and is thus not a closed system.
