Is there a contradiction between Mathematics / Physics and God?

In the mind of God, there is vast encyclopedic knowledge beyond measurement by mortal beings. This being that we are a part of is a mere thought in the mind of God. This thought in the mind of God is an evolving process. The process is changing as factors occur to stimulate change or adjustment in its composition. These occurring factors stimulate change similar to each word added to a composition. Each word added to a composition increases its perspective. The perspectives added through God's thoughts effect all forms of His Articulation.

Articulation is Creation, Creation is adjusting, adapting, active energy implemented both positively and negatively. Growth and developments occur through creation mathematically. In the process of creation, the natural law of supply and demand is stimulated by very basic math.

Addition X Multiplication -- Subtraction / Division = Creation. Or...

Life X Reproduction -- Death / by Decomposition = Creation.

And remember a day in the lifetime of God does not equal to a day in the lifetime of man. God creates systematically and each of God's creations--just like my dogs that just interrupted me to go outside--has a purpose or it would not be.

The light from God that transforms into the electricity that pulsates through our bodies, like light from the sun and stars transforms into electricity in a solar panel, is the source of Life and our Being. Not a Big Bang!!!

Beyond the fact that you know there is a God, there is nothing that should concern you. God is in control... But mankind is not in control until he learns to love each other...

Yes - you are starting to ask the right questions but your logic is problematic.

1. The story in the bible about creation is just a story. It was never meant to be science (or mistaken for absolute truth). For goodness sake, the New Testament is about 2000 years old. Christians used to believe slavery was acceptable and used the bible to defend it.

2. Yes exactly, if God created everything - then who created God? And more importantly did God also create evil, and if so why?

3. Nobody knows if the Universe is living because we haven't explored it further than the few planets in our solar system. The Universe is definitely filled with Mathematics and Physics but that doesn't preclude the possibility of choice. You can decide if you want to turn left or right at the next crossroads. Two parallel lines do not regress to a point do they?

Since there is no evidence of any kind to support the idea that there is any such thing as a "god" -- no, there's no conflict.

There most certainly *is* conflict between physics/math and superstitious, made-up stories in certain so-called "holy" books. Why is that? It's pretty simple: the people who wrote down those stories were completely ignorant of math and physics, they had no education, and they lived thousands of years ago before human beings had begun to examine the world through the scientific method. No amount of special pleading can reconcile centuries old fables to modern facts.

The "conflict," however, is very one-sided. Neither math nor physics (nor astronomy, biology, or any other science) "care" one whit about "god." They're after natural explanations, verifiable by evidence and observation and repeatability, not supernatural explanations. Any supernatural explanation can only serve as a stopping point in science: here natural explanations cease, and supernatural (outside the laws of nature) takes over, so there's no point looking further for natural explanations. There's never been such a stopping point found -- every time we look for more natural explanations, we find them. We also usually raise more questions as well, so we keep on looking. I'm not sure how one would even recognize a "supernatural explanation" -- it's certainly not something that could be verified by evidence, observed directly, or repeated (unless one were a supernatural being).

As such, supernatural explanations are not part of science.

You asked some good questions. Keep asking. Don't accept the pat answers of those who would throw up a stopping point to your inquiries by stating, "god did it, just have faith." That doesn't answer anything, and as you pointed out it simply raises even more unanswerable questions (if god did it, who did god?).

Demand evidence. When you don't know, admit you don't know and don't just assume that when you don't know it must be god. You're off to a good start as for logical and critical thinking, keep it up.

Peace.

First, there is no reason that lines have to intersect or that at infinity they remain parallel. There is also no reason to assume that everything must converge, in fact the opposite seems to be the case.

Second, the reproductive cells, sperm and egg, are living and thus have energy to combine, form an organism and absorb more energy.

Third, we simply do not know if life exists off this planet or not, however, with the methane clouds on Mars, the large number of stars in the universe, meaning a nearly equal number of planets and moons, and that self replicating chemical reactions have been shown to exist, it is very likely that life have developed where ever it could.

There are two problems with your statement. First, your use of the term "bound" is misleading. God can do some things, and cannot do others. He can create all of reality. He cannot sin. However, this does not infer external forces acting on Him to restrict His capabilities, but the internal force of His own nature giving definite shape to His intellectual and moral character. Therefore, "bound" is not an optimal way to express this concept. Perhaps it might be better to say that there is no inconsistency between His nature and a rational universe, precisely because it is His own nature that defines rationality. Second, your question tacitly assumes either God or logic came first in sequence, either temporal or logical. By virtue of the divine nature argument given above, it is more reasonable to think of the two as simultaneously eternal. Neither time nor logic demand a priority for rationality in a being that has always existed.

The "singularity" of the Big Bang is more of a concept than and actual agreed-upon idea. Black holes, for example, are supposed "singularities", but in actuality they take up finite and measurable space.

The universe was just really small; that's all the Big Bang suggests (well, not ALL per-say, but that's the beginning).

I don't think that there's a problem between math and God, but physics (laws of thermodynamics) states that there cannot be a beginning to energy.

There's no contradiction. Physics and math just attempt to discover (and manipulate) the laws of the universe. God created the laws of the universe and gave us a brain engage in physics and math. Theories such as the "Big Bang" are just ideas we have about how nature works. They may or may not be right, but it's a beginning.

Yes there is.

One of my math professors, Dr. Tipler, wrote "The Physics of Christianity"...it sorta got disproven haha!

Likewise, what does the 'arrow' of time mean? What if I wanted to move perpendicularly to the 'arrow'. is that possible?

God created physics and math, the only problem arises when you try yo remove God from "The Equation"
