God and the Universe
17th March 2018
This week Stephen Hawking passed away. Some years ago, having done my Astronomy work, I attempted to contact him. I knew between his age and disability that there wasn’t a great deal of time left for him in this life. I realised that having answered one of his questions, that I didn’t like the idea of his life coming to an end without his knowing that particular answer and I knew he wouldn’t like leaving not knowing it either. (I also had hoped he might inadvertently assist my family from a situation that I won’t go into here…..). I had a legal firm try and contact him for me, but to no avail.
Rest in peace Mr Hawking.
Tonight, I saw on discovery channel his Grand Design series was commencing. I’m not sure when it was created. I didn’t watch it but saw it was season one, episodes one and two.
Episode two was about the meaning of life and if there is a purpose to our existence. I’d already written about that.
Episode one was: Did God create the universe?
God didn’t create the universe. Unless we want to think in terms of our God having a God, which I feel isn’t appropriate from our perspective and is something only God knows. Beyond the beyond is clearly more foreign than what is within and yet its where everything within originally came from.
The molecular world could only create us once it was capable of doing so. Much like our being able to build skyscrapers, we could only do that once we attained the tools, the skill and the desire to build them.
Our species is doing its utmost to harness our world, ie from a cellular/medical/biological perspective, agricultural perspective, and so on.
God harnessed the molecular world, while also being of the molecular world and this harnessing eventually lead to ourselves and the world in which we live. I rather think though, we are, well…. some of our behaviour is a serious disappointment and I’m quite sure of great concern. One only has to look at our world to see the grace and love that went into it and well…. I don’t think there is anything I could say here about our race that we aren’t already aware of.
In conclusion, God didn’t create the universe and neither did the universe create God.

Footnote: I wrote the above several days ago and posted it today having only spent last few days asking website designer how I personally post to my site. I am slow with such things.
Anyway, today I note from tv news Stephen Hawking has a ‘final paper’ in relation to parallel universes and more. So I took a quick look on the internet and printed a news article.
I have already published my work in relation to alternate universes and what that entails, explaining what they are and how they form etc. There may be a possible infringement of my copyright with this latest paper by Stephen Hawking. Parallel universes are not a new idea, but my work goes into some detail, and I noted there were brief mentions in the article that certainly gave me cause for concern, so I am stating for the record today a ‘possible infringement’ of my copyrighted work. I’m not going to read his paper at this time, when possible however, I will have a suitable person do so. It isn’t the first time I suspected possible copyright infringement of my work, it is so very, very distressing.
Also when I described above that I had a lawyer try and contact Mr Hawking on my behalf several years ago, and stated that I thought he might be able to assist my family from a situation, I did not mean financially. I did speak to his personal assistant by phone for about an hour, which at times was an unusual conversation, but she certainly expressed interest in my work and the conversation ended positively. Consequently, I engaged a lawyer who faxed, mailed and emailed my letter to be sure my correspondence would definitely reach Mr Hawking. Goodness it was a very disappointing experience waiting for a response that never came.
To my reader, if you create something, invent something, any type of valuable work at all, my advice is: publish it, build it etc., have a record of it and tell no one of it until you have done so!
Respect starts with yourself.
