If energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transformed to one state to another?

Question

Does that mean the bible was wrong when it said that God creates? That it would be more correct if it says God transforms?

Answer 1

Your question seems to be based on an presupposition that God does not have ultimate control of the basic underpinnings of the universe.

He who made the physical laws can do with them what He will!

Answer 2

Wether you believe in God or not, the energy and matter (matter is condensed energy)in the universe came from somewhere. In the Big Bang theory or in the Book of Genesis, there is a moment in time where nothing existed and then "something happened" which eventually resulted in our sitting here in front of our computers. So it would be more correct to say that from our perspective and from what we have seen so far - from the Big Bang up - energy cannot be created or destroyed.

By the way....I can create a painting or sculpture without having to create the basic elements from which they are made of....it depends on how you define "create".

I personally believe in a Creator because I see the design behind the creation and find it difficult to believe that randomness can create such order. I also see the exceptions to the rules ..... for instance unlike charges attract...everyone knows that...and it applies everywhere except when you need it not to apply to keep electrons from flying into the nucleus of an atom or protons in the nucleus from flying away from each other making molecules impossible to exist. Hot things expand, cold ones contract.....except when dealing with ice.....water expands when frozen making it possible for icebergs to float and melt in the sun. If not, Earth would have been a solid chunk of ice eons ago. There are more exeptions to the rules out there which convinces me that some one ran into these situations and then fixed them. Randomness does not account for the the convenient existence of both the strong and weak electromagnetic forces or the conveniently odd properties of water (water with a molecular weight of 20, should be a gas at room temperature instead of a liquid- but then we would not be here discussing water if it were). Too many things to discuss...too little time...

Hi lol
most of our human faults come from wrong way thinking
for the being issue:
there are some assumptions hidden,
U assm the God has the same power of his creatures.
U assm the universe is exist and ....(that is all).
U assm rlgn books r intrstd n scintific theories.
all r wrong due to:-
1_God can do anything,he creates materila,creates
rules and laws that matrl obeys,creates our minds
that realize,dscvr all these..So the question is meanless
2_even the univers where the energy is,,,had been
created by The God, i.e is before everything.
3_rlgn bks r not dedicate to what we call scintific theories
as chemistry doesn't search in sound or waves
affairs.
4_when we talk about rlgn bks,we have to make an other
assumption ,all human beings do mistakes.....i.e
if we are sure there is not misstatement or
misconstruction in any of...so no prblm,BUT who
can say that?
At last,friend...who create can distroy,change,..etc

Answer 4

God creates from nothing at all. He is the first cause, the primary source.

He is certainly capable of transforming, but that is not how creation came into being.

Creation occurred purely by the power of God's word.

He literally spoke everything into being.

It was only then that an Einstein could theorize E-mc2 or any of the other laws of God's universe.

Answer 5

Ummmmmmmmmmm, since when has religion ever agreed with science.

If you still want to continue this argument, then science is based on what WE humans know and we have done. WE cannot create nor destroy matter. But God is all-powerful so surely He can create and destroy whatever He wants.

Answer 6

No. Since matter can neither be created nor destroyed, yet obviously exists, it follows that it got here somehow. Hence, it was created, but cannot be anymore.

Answer 7

Creation and destruction are both simply transformative actions ... whether the act is to create or destroy depends on your perspective.

Answer 8

Speculation with out true physical experience leads to human suffering. Cause and affect, the world needs to learn to replace blind faith with wisdom. Wisdom can only come from experience of the physical world, and the understanding of if. Blind faith causes ignorance and ignorance leads to the human suffering condition. If we free our selves of these chains then the world my begin to heal it self. Just like an alcoholic we must first accept that we have a problem before we can fix it.

Answer 9

I think the theory of energy neither being created nor destoryed is a good way to view yourself when you die....where does your spirit go when you die? is it destroyed with your body?

Answer 10

maximum of an atom bomb is skill. someone created the bomb even if. remember is condensed skill, and switched over (as you're saying) into skill at the same time as the bomb is exploded. isn't it clearer to assert that the sum entire of remember / skill in the universe is a continuing?
