Sorry for posting this, but I love the minds that are on Freep and would be very curious to see what some of the answers would be. I am far from being a physicist, but I do know the saying "Energy cannot be created nor destroyed". If this is so, then wouldn't it mean that energy is infinite? And if so, wouldn't this be proof of God? And 2nd, wouldn't it mean that there is no such thing as death or "real death"? Because if this energy is infinite, then eventually it will form into you again?
Then would you also say “Mass cannot be created or destroyed”?
Maybe God is energy. But what kind of energy would He be? We may never get the answer to that. After that business with the Tower of Babel, it could be that all He wants us to know is that He exists and He is only one.
Need I say more?
It could mean that energy is finite. There won't be any more energy even though there won't be any less.
Perhaps energy is the byproduct of the passing of time, and that is why it appears to be infinite or unable to be created or destroyed.
Death is a type of existence involving separation.
Once God creates something, it continues to exist. He does nothing that is good for nothingness.
This is one reason why fallen angels and the condemned are looking at the Lake of Fire for their eternal torment.
Thanks. You made me smile.

That particles “pop in and out existence” is akin to droplets of water sprayed off the ocean surface. The droplet becomes a separate particle briefly, balanced by a reduction in the water, but it soon comes back down and rejoins its negative counterpart and disappears.
according to physicists mass and energy are just different states of the fundamental makeup of EVERYTHING in the universe, like saying its what humans observe in a practical sense as two sides of the same coin
the total energy/mass-mass/energy doesn’t change, just the arrangement of it
I don’t think that’s what the researchers are saying...I saw a video of the “flashes of light” these particles make as the “pop in and out”. The phenomena has in fact been observed and while they can’t account for the phenomena, they definitely feel it wasn’t particles briefly reaching the edges of their energy envelopes...much like how hot metal gives off photons and starts glowing until enough energy is released that the metal resumes it’s room temperature state(assuming the energy source has stopped being applied. They are saying these particles appear from no where, then disappear again.
God is Love. It might in the end be the ultimate energy that means anything at all!
