CREATION
Two kinds of time are objects to duality. The first is dependent on the second. First, there is the time that is an object to outer duality. This objective time gears duality to regular motions in the universe; such as that of the earth and moon, certain frequencies of subatomic particles, and the speed of light. Because objective time can be measured by clocks and other devices, it has the same standards for everyone who moves at the same velocity.
Second, there is subjective time that is geared to motions within inner duality. This time seems to pass swiftly when one concentrates on a task, and slowly when one is bored. When one concentrates on a task, then consciousness hides everything that is not essential to the work at hand within the idea of nothingness, including the passage of objective time. One who is bored actually concentrates on the idea of nothing. For this reason, those who are bored often stare into space. Time passes faster to those who concentrate on motion. To those who concentrate on nothing, or little motion, time passes slower.
To one in a coma, time does not pass at all. He concentrates on neither motion nor nothingness. Except for a somatic consciousness of heartbeat and breathing, both objective and subjective times become equal to absolute nothingness. Because there is no time in absolute nothingness, his duality skips over the passage of time from the moment he goes into the coma until the moment he awakens from it.
Coma reveals a great deal about the relationship of duality to its universe. In a universe in which all dualities were in a permanent coma, objective time would mean absolutely nothing. There could be no difference between a trillion years and one second. If no passage of time exists, then there could certainly be no differences in motion or non-motion, up or down, inside or outside, heat or cold, or any other differences.
Of course, objective time would affect the bodies of those in a coma. However, such effects could only work to destroy their bodies, which tends to show that absolute nothingness prevails. Assuming that their bodies were permanently protected, then objective time, and even their own bodies, would constantly be equal to nonexistence, except for somatic heartbeat and breathing.
Should one of these persons in coma suddenly awaken, he might conclude that he created all of the space, stars, earth, sun, and everything else that he suddenly observes.
Such an erroneous conclusion serves to illustrate a particular point to be made. The point is not that nothing happens outside an unconscious mind. Many events may be happening outside unconsciousness, but the point is that whatever does happen is equal to its not happening. In other words, potential existence remains equal to absolute nothingness until such time as potential existence becomes experienced by duality. Any universe void of duality can be but a chaotic universe, which creates nothing.
Even that which happens outside the experiential reach of a fully conscious duality is equal to absolute nothingness. For this reason, human duality can not obtain a clear picture of whatever is happening at the subatomic level. Evidently, whatever happens there lies at the boundary of the limits of human consciousness. Thus, the subatomic level can be but indirectly observed, just as consciousness can be but indirectly observed. As far as experiencing the subatomic level is concerned, the human mind subsists in a partial coma.
The difference in that form of the idea of nothingness in inner duality called the subconscious mind, and absolute nothingness, is this. Those events that lie hidden in the idea of nothingness are, at all times, recoverable realities if one can remember them. If one can not remember them, they pass again into absolute nothingness, at least for that person. However, the subconscious can not hide events forever. Sooner or later, some events will be forced into conscious memory, even if in unhealthy ways. That which possesses the potential to be discovered, remembered, or experienced remains equal to absolute nothingness until such time as duality makes it real.
Now, suppose the one who awakens should undertake an investigation of his new environment. He invents all of the scientific equipment he needs for his investigation. He discovers that his universe began with a big bang and that it is 15 billion years old. What would he conclude from this? First, he discovers that he did not create it when he awoke. Second, he realizes that while he was in the coma, his universe was equal to non-existence for him and he for it. Third, he realizes that his universe did possess potential existence because it was there for him to experience when he awoke. Fourth, he realizes that his universe did not create his duality because before he awoke to it, its equivalence to non-existence also caused it to be a chaotic universe. Fifth, he further realizes that his universe obtained the order and beauty that he observes only at the same instant that he awoke to observe it.
Here, the materialists would argue that the fact that the awakened person discovered that his universe was 15 billion years old, would prove that it possessed real existence before he discovered it. However, the consciousness of the awakened person is that necessary and exclusive tool which makes that very distinction, as well as all other distinctions. If no one of those in coma awoke, it could never make one whit of difference whether this universe were 15 billion years old or zero seconds old. Nothing makes no difference, unless it makes a difference to duality.
At this point, our awaker is left with but one possible conclusion. Since he did not create his universe and it did not create him, then it must have been created by someone else. Because of its vastness and complexity, he must conclude that his universe was created by some superior intelligence.
A consciousless universe can never evolve life because distinctions never determine themselves to be real because of their constant equality to absolute nothingness. The making of distinctions is the necessary task of duality. What possible difference could it make to a consciousless universe whether a hydrogen atom has one electron and a carbon atom has six? Nothing makes the distinction, and therefore, no distinction is made. The actual difference between a hydrogen and a carbon atom can be made real by duality alone.
Genesis 1:1-2 relates that the Spirit of God moved over a chaotic nothingness which was revealed to Him, but not created by Him except as a potential reality. Chaotic nothingness was, and still remains, that which is consciousless except as the idea of nothing. God created the potential reality within chaos, but not absolute nothingness itself. Absolute nothingness needs no creation because it is an noncreation that exists nowhere and at no time.
Genesis 1:3-4 relates that when the Spirit moved into the chaos, God created an explosion of light for the purpose of separating Duality from nothingness. The big bang theory of the origin of the universe states that the universe began as a tremendous burst of electromagnetic energy. The Biblical term "water" refers to the density of energy both before and after the big bang. It is no accident that the Hebrew word for "light" means "made visible." When God’s duality entered in to the consciousless void, then reality was created.
Genesis 1:5 relates that God named the light Day and the chaotic darkness Night. Day refers to the reality created by Infinite Duality, and Night refers to the chaos that remains within absolute nothingness. The term "morning" refers to the dawn of creative Duality overcoming nothingness. The term "evening" refers to the absolute nothingness that still remains to be overcome by creative Duality.
In John 8:12 and John 9:5, Jesus refers to himself as being "the light of the world." Also in John 12:45-48, Jesus refers to himself as God who has come to earth to save mankind from darkness and to bring them into light. In John 9:4, Jesus refers to the day as a period of time in which God creates. In the same verse, He refers to darkness as that period in which creative work is not possible for man. Therefore, the term Day must refer to any period of time in which God does a creative work. The term Night must refer to any period of destructive nothingness in which men must remain, unless they come to the Light by faith.
Colossians 1:12-22 refers to both the Father and Christ as the Creators. These verses also give a full description of the sacrificial work that Christ accomplished for the salvation of mankind during His day on earth.
Thus Christ is one with the Father as He stated in John 10:30. Christ, being the contents of Infinite Duality, so fills the infinite consciousness of the Father as to be one with Him. The opposite is also true. The Father, being the infinite revelation of the infinite contents of His consciousness, is one with Christ. This must be true because true infinity can not limit itself, nor can there be multiple infinities. There can not even be one infinity. There can be but Infinite Duality.
The Spirit is the creative unity of the Father and the Son. He is that third Person who dwells in the hearts of believers as Jesus explained in John 14:13-26. Thus Jesus calls the Spirit, the Comforter.
The Spirit is also God as Jesus made clear in John 4:24. In John 7:37-39, Jesus compares the Spirit to "living water." As verse 39 teaches, and as Jesus made clear to the woman at the well in John 4, whosoever believes in Him will receive this "living water" and will be "born again" in accordance with John 3:3-8. As John 1:12-13 clearly teaches, anyone who receives Christ receives a recreation as a child of God who has been saved from sin and destruction.
In Psalms 139:7-18, the Spirit reveals Himself as the infinite presence of God in all places at all times. These verses refer to darkness which is the same as chaotic nothingness which is the same as nowhere. That which is nowhere can not limit infinity. Verses 11-12 relate the Infinite Spirit’s power to overcome any darkness. Therefore, God is the Almighty, the Infinite Power, and the Infinite Presence.
In Psalms 90:4 and II Peter 3:8, the term "day" is described as being equal to a thousand years in God’s sight. If a "day" can be a thousand years to God, then why not a billion, or even a trillion. These verses actually compare God’s subjective time to His objective time and suggest that these times are interchangeable.
God does not possess the same being as His universe. God created His universe in accordance with His infinite set of simple true ideas and their true combinations, but the universe remains completely separate from His inner duality. The being of God is in His inner duality, as it is with humans. The universe is objective to God, as it is to humans. Therefore, God must have created objective time from His subjective time. Without subjective time coming first, there can be no objective time.
Thus, in Genesis 1:5, the term "Day," being equal to any duration of objective time, can only refer to God’s subjective time. So on the first day of creation, God divided subjective time, called Day, from chaotic nothingness, called Night. Since objective time had not yet been determined, this process could well have equaled billions of years.
It is no accident that the last part of verse 5 refers to the "evening" and then the "morning" as the first day. The "evening" of chaotic nothingness, having been entered by the light of Infinite Duality, was partly overcome by the "morning" of God’s subjective time.
In Genesis 1:6-8, God divided the energy, called "waters," creating Heaven with one part of it and creating the universe with another part of it. Again, this second day is denoted by use of the terms "evening" and then "morning." This process describes a further advance in God’s creation of a real universe separate from chaos. Again, this day of God’s subjective time could have equaled billions of years of objective time.
In Genesis 1:9-13, God created the earth and vegetable life. A further advance in the creation of reality is denoted by use of the terms "evening" before "morning."
In Genesis 1:14-19, God caused the sun, moon and stars which He had previously created, to become visible from earth’s view. Again, the use of "evening" before "morning" denotes an advancement in His creation of reality.
God’s creation of reality continues through the fifth and sixth days. On the sixth day, God created man in his own image. God created man as a three-in-one being, as He is. Man has a spirit, soul, and body as the Word states in I Thessalonians 5:23. God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as Jesus taught in Matthew 28:19.
In Genesis 2:7, God describes His creation of man. God formed his body from the dust of the ground, breathed his soul into his body, which caused him to become alive. Man was created with a limited intelligence which is directly connected to God’s infinite intelligence. This fact accounts for the reasons that men possess some simple true idea, such as "infinite" and "nothing", for which he has an extremely limited understanding. Note that the Word relates that God’s breath flowed into man. The spirit of man was created as a flowing duality directly connected to an Infinite Duality.
Man was created in innocence. Man possessed direct communication with God, and since there was no alternative, he considered this condition to be perfectly natural. Man did not need to know everything. Man could simple ask God about anything that he did not know.
Six days of creation and on the seventh God rested. These days denote the subjective time of God’s duality. Since God is eternal, objective time is not that important to him. Objective time was created for man’s use. Of course, in the eternal sense, all of God’s creations were for His own pleasure as Revelation 4:11 points out.
While God, in subjective time, concentrated on His Days of creation, billions of years of objective time passed. Thus, the universe is 15 billion years old from man’s point of view. From God’s point of view, the universe has passed through six Days of His subjective time.
The sixth Day of Creation continues until now. God is still in the process of recreating man. God continues to recreate man from his fallen state through the work of Christ on man’s behalf. The seventh Day of rest for God and man has not yet arrived.
Consider again the arguments of the evolutionists that life evolved in a consciousless universe. Their theory asserts that before life evolved, subjective time did not exist but objective time did. Consider one of the implications of their theory. By what standard was objective time measured?
Some people have been cryogenic frozen in order to be resurrected at some time in the future. No doubt, at whatever time they are thawed and resurrected, they will report no awareness of any passage of time between their deaths and their resurrections. For them, that time would be a kind of "consciousless gap."
Now consider again a consciousless universe. The entire time of existence of such a universe would consist of a "consciousless gap," even should it last for trillions of years. No matter how long it may exist, its "consciousless gap" would cause such a universe to go out of existence as soon as it came into existence. It would only be equal to a virtual particle. In other words, its existence would be equal to its nonexistence. Such is the same condition of all unknown objects. If there is an object in our universe which will never be known to exist, then it might just as well have never existed. For these reasons, all consciousless universes can be but completely irrelevant to the existence of life.
Yet, evolutionists claim that our universe was a consciousless universe until life evolved. If they are right, then Linde’s theory of the chaotic inflation of our universe must be the correct one. Our universe had to have existed in a "consciousless gap" before life emerged. Our universe must have super-inflated in less that a moment until the exact moment that life emerged to begin to make it real.
Linde’s theory seems to indicate that life could not have evolved slowly, but that it suddenly came into existence as if it were created. Otherwise, the "consciousless gap" is our universe would have caused its existence to be equal to its nonexistence, which allows no time for evolution.
In addition, this theory asserts that this inflation occurred in 10 to minus 34 seconds. Does not his claim seem to accord with the Genesis account of instantaneous creation? This theory also avers that our universe inflated from an initial chaos. Does this assertion not accord with Genesis 1:2 which states: "And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep," which constitutes a perfect description of chaos? It would seem as if even the best theories of scientists compel them to admit to an instantaneous creation of our universe which also, because of a "consciousless gap" must have also resulted in an instantaneous creation of life.
