God's Creations

God created all things for His pleasure, and all things belong to Him. Revelation 4:11. God literally created every object of consciousness; that is, all things material and abstract, visible and invisible. Colossians 1:16-17.

Two forms of God's creations exist, the first being the basis of the second. First are the irreducible elements of creation such as "red," "round," "straight," and "justice." All the rest of His creations consist of true combinations of these basic elements. God's wisdom constitutes His ability to think and plan according to His creative use of these basic elements and ideas. I Corinthians 2:7 and Acts 15:18 relate how God used His wisdom meticulously to plan His creations and the course of world history.

Hebrews 4:3 relates that God views creation and world history as being already finished. God sees His creations in an eternal sense. God can narrow the focus of His Mind to concentrate on the passage of time through history, but God can also broaden His Mind to encompass eternity. Finite minds can only focus on the passage of time through history.

God uses the basic elements of His creations such as "gravity," "electromagnetic energy," and "chemicals" to form very complicated systems such as the universe and life. God called all of His creations "good." "Good" means they are useful, beautiful, and life producing.

One of the basic, essential elements of God's creations is the idea of nothing. God uses the idea of nothing to put space between His various creations in order to give them form, identity, and orderliness. God also uses the idea of nothing to exclude any idea not useful to any particular system. For example, the element carbon does not belong in the useful system called "water."

God also uses the idea of nothing to indicate certain areas of nonexistence called "absolute nothingness." Absolute nothingness means chaos and an absence of creative consciousness. Absolute nothingness is always destructive. Destructive systems called "sin" emerge from absolute nothingness. This effect does not mean that sin is not real. Sinful systems have a truly destructive effect on creative systems.

Psalm 19 and Romans 1:19-20 relate the irrefutable logic that creativity and order can only come from a mind. All of creation is based on information. Only minds can store and use information to create useful systems. God possesses an Infinite Mind. Psalm 147:5. This principle extends to all of God's creative ideas including the laws of physics, mathematics, logic, quantum mechanics,  and the extremely complicated laws that govern the creation and maintenance of life.

Certain experiments in quantum mechanics, such as the two-slit experiment, have revealed that only consciousness can collapse a wave-function to a particle. In other words, consciousness exists as the only known entity that can turn energy into matter. Brains consist of matter that can only be collapsed by consciousness. Therefore, consciousness had to have preceded all forms of matter.

This principle proves that God's Infinite Consciousness had to have created all the energy and matter of the universe. First God said, "Let there be light" and all forms of energy were created. Genesis 1:3. Then, God collapsed some of this energy into particles by which He formed the universe with all its laws that govern its orderliness and beauty. Genesis 1:6.
