Light and God

An Interesting Comparison of Two Very Misunderstood Entities

The perspective of the universe from the point of view of a “particle of light” is very interesting.  The three dimensional space of the universe becomes a single point.  That is, the particle of light exists in every point in the universe at the same time. Furthermore, I understand that time compresses similarly to a single point.  So, not only is the light particle everywhere present, but it also exists in the past, present and future.

Of course this is all theory and speculation because we can never observe the universe from light's perspective.  From our perspective, we cannot see light.  What we see when we think we are seeing light is the reflection of light off things which have mass.  We understand light not by observing it directly, but by observing the things upon which it acts.

The perspective of the universe from the point of view of God is also very interesting.  If we are to believe Proverbs 13:5, God exists everywhere in the universe at once.  If that is the case, then to God, the universe must seem to be a single point. 

Also, II Peter 3:8 indicates that time has no meaning to God.  It is commonly accepted that to God the past, present and future are all simultaneously known by God.  Extrapolation brings me to the conclusion that God exists simultaneously in the past, present and future. 

Of course this is all based on faith because we can never observe the universe from God's perspective.

From our perspective, we cannot see God.  According to John 1:18, no one has ever seen God.  Romans 1:20 says that we only understand and clearly see His properties by observing the creation of the world and the things that are made.  That is, the things in our universe which have substance or mass.  Also, we observe His power by seeing those things upon which He acts. 

Do you see the similarities between the way physics describes light and the way the Bible describes God? I John 1:5 makes it clear that God is light and in him there is no darkness at all. Reconciling science to the Bible isn't so hard.
