Quantum Physics

Q

One time my sister asked, “How can every eye see him (Jesus) when he comes”? (Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Rev. 1:7)

Off the cuff, my answer was that maybe we would all suddenly see into the quantum dimension; that the veil that separates us from the other dimensions would be dissolved and we would see what has been there all along—Jesus in all his glory.  Well, of course I know NOTHING about quantum physics, but it was an intriguing thought.  Later, to further explore the idea I did an internet search “quantum physics made simple” (That doesn’t exist, I’m afraid,  ha ha).

What I did find was an interesting concept from quantum physics, not related to the above question.  But before I tell you what it is, I must give some background on why it struck me as so interesting.

I follow a certain scholar and theologian on social media.  He proposed the question, “Did  Adam surely die on the day that he did eat”?  People responded with the standard answers, such as it was a spiritual death or that he began to die, or that a day with the Lord is as a thousand years and that Adam died at age nine hundred and something so technically it was in the DAY THAT HE ATE.

I did not get into the debate simply because I think all the answers have merit and I’m not particularly bothered by the seeming contradiction. (Plus, I’m no scholar. Hahaha).

Then, I stumbled on this when looking up quantum physics:

Schrodinger’s Cat is a thought experiment that demonstrates how quantum physics can’t work on everyday scales. A cat put in a box with a vial of poison, according to quantum theory, is simultaneously both dead and alive.

While I’m not claiming that this answers ANYTHING, it does make you think.

It was at the last hour, so to speak, while building the website to feature my father’s writing, that I decided to add my own blog. Yes, occasionally I get an insight into the scriptures that is worthy to mention. From Dad I learned a style of bible study that uses the entire bible, linking like phrases together, even if they don’t immediately appear to go together. (Thus the importance of a good chain reference feature). The results are quite rewarding. As St. Augustine is credited as saying: The new [Testament] is in the old concealed; the old [Testament] is in the new revealed.
To further expand on that thought, Dad was a firm believer that the bible does not ask a question that it does not answer somewhere else in the scriptures and that symbols and definitions hold true throughout the entire Bible. These ideas have greatly enhanced my understanding of the bible and theology.

Having said all that, I’ll say this: I hope I can do C. Leo Jordan proud.
