Although I was raised a Catholic, I have turned
against most organized religions. I truly love GOD. Not only do I love our
Creator, I’m always trying to lead people back to him both with my writing and
psychic readings. Recently I was thinking about a book I read called The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. How
does a book about evolution tie in with the science behind the “God Particle
and Saint John’s bible verse 1:1? Meet me after the jump to find out.
Dawkins’ Theory
Bear with me on this because I believe there is
a simple and pure way to tie these three separate thoughts together. Are we the
result of a godless evolution as Richard Dawkins explains in his book? Richard
Dawkins first published The Selfish Gene in 1976. It was a controversial book
about evolutionary biology. According to Dawkins, the base unit of evolution is
the individual cell. Dawkins argues that each gene acted in a way that would
allow it the best opportunity to be replicated and passed on to the next
generation.
Dawkins stated that the term “selfish gene” was
not meant to imply the trait but that individual genes evolved to allow them to
support their own survival and replication. In the science of adaptation and
natural selection, the genes were using altruism in order to survive: sacrificing
themselves for others over oneself, but he also goes on to say, “We are
survival machines—robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish
molecules known as genes.”
With Dawkins theory, there is no room for GOD.
So how does The Selfish Gene tie in with the subatomic particle called Higgs
boson?
The God Particle
How did we come to be and how did GOD come into
existence? Big question which religion and science have tried to come to terms
with. It’s not a new question and as far back as ancient Greece, a philosopher considered
to be the father of science began the search for the atomos, the basic unit of
matter. Democritus and his mentor Leucippus originally came up with the atomic
theory and the belief that the universe was composed of two elements: the atoms
and the void in which they exist and move. Jump ahead a few
centuries and we arrive at the theory of the God Particle.
The God Particle is the
nickname of a subatomic particle called the Higgs boson...the particles
responsible for giving matter different properties, the most important property
being that of mass. The Higgs boson particle is believed to give mass to
matter. You can read more about this here.
Although the nickname,
“God Particle” became popular after Leon Lederman published his novel: The God Particle: If the Universe is theAnswer, What is the Question; confirming the existence of Higgs boson will
depend on results from further testing at the Large Hadron Collider in
Switzerland. Once again we are left to wonder the nature of GOD, and if we
should see him as one big science project.
The Word
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with GOD, and the Word was God. John was speaking of Jesus and we see this in
this verse: The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. John was
definitely speaking about GOD, and since we are told that we are made in the
image of the creator, we consider our evolutionary development from that one
single cell.
I Am
In the bible, GOD told Moses, I Am That I Am. We
call GOD by many names: Yahweh, Father, Creator...but HE always seems so
distant because we don’t know how connected we are to HIM. I’m going out on a
limb with this theory and it is okay if you don’t agree with me. But, as I get
older, I feel that GOD is showing me the simple answer.
How did GOD come to be? Suppose, just suppose,
that out of nothing a single cell was formed in the dark void of space. This
“cell” was GOD. There was only one cell, but it called out into the darkness,
“I Am.” The GOD cell began to replicate itself and in this replication created
planets, suns, stars, moons, other living cells.
If GOD created all life, then by deduction, he
exists in every cell of our bodies and, in every cell of every plant and animal
on this world and throughout the universe. When I picture this GOD, I feel
comforted because it means that our creator lives within us. He is no longer
this aloof and judgmental old man from some Renaissance painting, but a creator
who is truly invested in us because he is the life force of all living things.
Conclusion
After learning about another horrifying act of
terror in a year of multiple acts of terrorism around the globe, I asked GOD while
praying if he even cared what happened to us. Why didn’t he show us a sign that
he existed, or why didn’t he use his godly powers and make his presence more visible.
That night I had a dream. In this dream, GOD
explained that he had split himself into billions and billions and billions of
pieces of himself, and that he lived in every single life form not only here on
Earth, but throughout the many universes and dimensions. When we die, we go
back to him. This happens over and over in a spiritual dance of life. We are
pure energy that never dies. We are the universal collective.
I know that GOD exists and I know that he loves
me, but whether he came to be via the principle of the selfish gene or via the
big bang is really not that important, what is important is how we act towards
one another. If we are part of GOD and he is part of us, then why do we have
wars? Why do we hate our fellow humans? Maybe if we begin to see GOD in every
living thing, we would begin to act more like GOD and, where there was hate,
racism and misogyny will one day turn to love and a joyful existence.
