All I’m asking for is the go ahead from the scientific and religious establishment to just clear up all the damn confusion and once and for all certify that God = Energy. Is that too much to ask? Am I sticking my neck out into the guillotine for speaking out against the status quo? You’ll just have to stay tuned...

Phewwwww. That’s a load off my chest. The truth shall set us free! Do you feel freer with that possibility? If not by all means wrap your mind around these interesting facts.

Energy exists in Many forms (probably infinite). Light, Heat, Sound, Electricity, basically our entire world and everything we know and love all boils down to energy. Or you could say that It is Everywhere Present (as far as we can tell.) Take a look at this cool graph (the world we perceive of visible light is just a teeny tiny slice. Notice the arrows going in either direction to infinitely positive and infinitely negative from the middle.

Energy is never created or destroyed, its only changed and conserved. Never created? You mean it’s just always existed? But that’s impossible! Something can’t just come from nothing! Well that’s why we have the big bang theory to officially tell us that indeed, as far as we can tell, the Universe was created out of nothing. Never mind that the whole "something out of nothing" idea makes no sense to people who live in the real world. Frankly, scientists should be ashamed of a theory that has no relation to the real world of cause and effect. Every effect has its source cause. That’s just common sense isn’t it? Isn’t it? But I guess they’re just trying to be objective.

Our whole scientific discipline is based on the observations of causes and effects of Energy. Rocket ships, laser pens, ipods, and cell phones exist today because our ancestors thousands of years ago decided to find out what would happen if you mixed wood ash and animal fat (they made soap, you can’t do research in a lab with a bunch of stanky humans smellin all funky. It’s just entirely too distracting.)

So Energy’s potential to be rocket ships, lasers, and soap were always there but it wasn’t until we took the time to learn its secrets that we knew. Could that mean that Energy is all knowing? Hmm, well since the observation of Nature and the Laws by which It follows is the source of humanity’s knowledge so far, and since we are discovering weird and wacky new things everyday, why not say that Energy is All Knowing? And how bout All Powerful? Isn’t it amazing that Energy can manifest Itself into all these different forms like your car’s engine, gasoline, air in the tires, and see thru windshield all at the same time?

Ever heard of neutrinos? Well they’re these amazing particles of energy that are so cool and sweet that 70000000000 of them pass thru your thumbnail every second. We’re literally swimming in a sea of Energy.

So we have something that, as far as we can tell, is Omnipresent, Omnipotent, and Omniscient. And scientists decided to name it something boring called energy. gg. And to top it all off, us humans have the magical ability of interacting with this all pervasive force. We have the ability to dream of a better life, put some work into it, and achieve what we dreamed.

Maybe St. Paul had it right in Acts 17:28 where he tells us "For in Him we live, and move, and have our being." Maybe whenever we truly realize we are part of the System and not separate from it, we can come to grow and learn and become truly One with the System. Maybe once we get off our high horses and stop getting off to knowing big words like "Existentialism" and "Astrophysical Thermodynamics" we can begin asking the basic questions like where does Energy come from? It’s funny because Michael Faraday, who is one of the fathers of modern physics, was quoted as saying something along the lines of "Yeah.... So we really don’t know what Energy is." But scientists can sure make up a whole bunch of big words for you to agonize over and so they can ridicule you whenever your pronunciation’s wrong. So yeah, maybe whenever scientists get off their high horse and admit to themselves they don’t know as much as they think they do we could actually get somewhere as a species.

And maybe when we can look around this infinite experience we call life and realize how much work goes into keeping the atoms of your computer and everything else from exploding into a huge Hiroshima mushroom cloud, we could feel the awe and respect for Nature, Energy, and God that He deserves.
