Unified Theory of the Universe by William James Johnson
The following presentation requires the suspension of the need for an intelligent cause to underlie all we perceive. In its place there must be a willingness to endow unlimited chance with a universal quality of total becoming.
Man's awareness of his own beginning and end has thwarted his efforts to accept the greatest discovery in the universe, which is the eternity of energy, no beginning and no end. To reach this discovery, man must get beyond the dilemma of his limitation experienced in his own existence. It is this realization which has given rise to this finite creature's evolution of the need for a theology, God and creature, infinite maker of all things, and the fallible, sinful, disobediant
failure, who violated the maker's greatest gift of free will.
Even in his attempts to find meaning, man fails. Excuses are not answers. Through the ages, evolving creatures marvel at the complexity of creation, without realizing there was, and there is, no need for a creator. The universe "is" and always will be. Man must move on in his understanding.
In an infinite universe there are two elements which co-exist, potentiality, and actuality. We no longer should deny the power of unlimited chance. Think about it. Everything is possible when there is no time limit.. Potentiality is the ability to become. It is the black space between all those electronic charges which science has discovered using man's greatest means of measuring, electron microscopes, and the deterioration of radioactivity.
Potentiality becomes actuality defined by the laws of gravity, magnetism and motion in space. It is the combined action of these forces which unify the Universe.

Very interesting post, Bill.
I have no problem, personally, thinking that anything is possible and that there are infinite possibilities in infinite time. From that though, I have to conclude that one of those possibilities has to be that there is a creator who made us in his image and who has an interest in what we do and how we live.
I have concluded, over the years, that I can comfortably argue either for or gainst the existence of God. I have not been able to find compelling evidence to support either position.
What does this factoid tell me about myself? That I am wishy-washy and can't (or won't) take a position? That I'm not smart enough to puzzle things out for myself? Maybe.
My nephew tells me that the most profound thing I ever said to him was: "The only thing I know for sure is that I don't know anything for sure."
I don't think, personally, that this statement attained any degree of profundity. It does, however, state succinctly what I think, even to this day.
Let's hear more. I can use all the guidance I can get.
It seems a bit ironic to assert Arabian rights to Palestine based on Scripture, only to previously refute the existence of God and therefore the legitimacy of the record on which Esau's land title is based.
Almost as paradoxical that the same atheistic international body that reestablished Israel now continually asserts same should not defend itself when attacked, and can only preserve peace through continued concessions - but such is the double-mindedness of leftism.
Unless, of course, the whole motivation of reestablishing Israel was to get all the "troublemakers" back in one place to annihilate them once and for all (This will not happen).
If this is the prevalent thinking in the West, we will lose our liberty, not because of our theology or religion, but because of our narcissism, and continual rationalization - disguised as reason - to justify it. To say nothing of "neo-con" socialist/collectivists "leading" police-actions on terror to fatten their bank accounts and raise the value of their oil stocks.
