God and the laws of physics?

Question

Are the word "god" and the phrase "the laws of physics" simply two different ways to say the same thing?
At the most fundamental level, con can be described as an undetectable being or force that controls and moves everything in the universe, down to the last atom. He / she / it is beyond human comprehension.
The laws of physics explain different abstract forces and "rules" that govern the motion of everything in the universe, down to the last atom. We still cannot fill in all the blanks in our current understanding of physics.
The only difference between the two, at this most fundamental level, is that god is possessed of a mind, while the the laws of physics simply state that these forces exist.

Is it so difficult for people to accept that both explanations might be correct? Is it so hard to reconcile a belief in god with a belief in science?

Answer 1

The laws of physics exists because God decreed they should. Meanwhile, we mere mortals are still trying to define/understand those laws...

Answer 2

You say: At the most fundamental level, con can be described as an undetectable being or force that controls and moves everything in the universe, down to the last atom.

In response to that, you are implying that God IS the universe, because one cannot control every bit of matter and ball of energy without actually being said matter/energy as well.

Then, the next step, God is within us all (since we are composed of matter and energy).

Finally, we are God, as well as our dogs, cats, the deer, fish, etc.

Hey, your suggestion. Not bad! That's what I think too, incidentally. Those who have managed to come into closer touch with their own inner workings (not the standard church folk, mind you), but the Zen Master (maybe), are closer to understanding God and His role in the universe.

Einstein was a Deist. His perspective was that belief in an orderly universe was actually a sort of religious belief, since it can not be proven, and yet science becomes pointless without such a belief. His conception of god was closely tied to science in his mind. So certainly, there need not be a conflict between science and religion.

Mostly it's just silly dogmatic positions like creationism that run into conflicts with science.

smash is a determine of speech. we don't smash God's rules, we disobey them. The rules of physics are the comparable. Disobeying familiar rules has effects. some effects are instantaneous, some take a on a similar time as. it relatively is to all our benefit to obey. Eccl. 12:13 the top of the problem, each and everything having been heard, is: worry the [actual] God and shop his commandments. For it relatively is the entire [criminal duty] of guy. 14 For the [actual] God himself will deliver each and every sort of artwork into the judgment in terms of each and every hidden ingredient, to whether it extremely is physically powerful or undesirable.

Answer 5

Cutting edge physics is actually in agreement with spiritual teachings.

Do some research into Quantum Mechanics, Superstring Theory, and Holographic Universe theories. You'll find that we are all direct manifestations of God, and we are all connected - All is One.

The problem people have with this issue is when they make the mistake of interpreting the Holy Bible as a literal document. It's actually a symbolic document with many important truths that get missed because people think there was a talking snake in Eden and Noah was able to scour the entire surface of the globe and capture two of every species that exists. Crazy.

Answer 6

Who wrote those "Laws" of physics? Why do they follow such an exact and definite course? Who designed what influences these "forces" / "Laws".

An interesting study is one involving miracles.
If you wrote the laws of physics, and could control what influenced them, then nothing would be a miracle to you.

Miracles are events that break the laws and what influences them in human minds. From our limited perspective "That can't happen!" "It was a miracle!"

Truth be told God never breaks a law. He never broke the laws of justice requiring an equivalent restitution. Willing to follow that law cost him dearly (The physical life of his son).

So God maneuvers the things that influence these laws of physics in ways we humans have yet to understand, so to us they are miracles.

Radio, TV, Internet, would have been considered miraculous means of communication years ago. Today we understand and they are no big deal.

Answer 8

one can truly tell you the laws of physics , who wrote it , where he got the ideas , and such . the word of god is second or third hand information . god did not write anything down explaining his actions (or reactions) or his philosophy . the word of god is not a book called ' the complete works of god as compiled by god .'

Answer 9

"Are the word "god" and the phrase "the laws of physics" simply two different ways to say the same thing? "

No.

Answer 10

Well said. I beleive God designed the laws of physics as they are, and I have really enjoyed studying religion and science because of that.
