BLACK HOLE |
|||||||||
A black hole is defined by scientists as "a region of spacetime from which gravity prevents anything, including light, from escaping. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass will deform spacetime to form a black hole. " * And scientists also believe that the centers of galaxies are black holes. Now, if we assume that the universe is not just physical but higher-dimensional, we can understand the real significance of black holes. We can then conclude that God must have created the universe to realize Divine Love. |

At one point I was struck with amazement at the vast number of people who attribute creation - everything under the sun and everything beyond it as well - to nature. No matter what they see, they say with heartfelt conviction, "Surely this is nature's doing." I have asked them why they say nature is responsible for everything, and why not God, especially since they repeatedly use the common expression, "God created nature," and therefore could as easily say that God, rather than nature, is responsible for what they see. Beneath their breath, in an almost inaudible voice, they reply, "What God is there except nature?" Their conviction that the universe was created by nature - an insanity that seems like wisdom to them - makes them all feel so glorious that they look down on all who acknowledge that the universe was created by God. They picture these faithful people as ants that crawl on the ground and tread a well-worn path. Some they picture as butterflies that flit around in the air. "Dreams" - that is what they call the dogmas of the faithful, who see what they themselves do not see. "Who has seen God?" they say; "Who has not seen nature?" While I stood amazed at the vast number of such people, an angel appeared at my side and said, "What are you thinking about?" I replied, "I'm thinking about the vast number of people who believe that nature exists from itself - that nature itself created the universe.” "All hell is made up of such people,” the angel told me. “There they are called satans and devils. The satans are those who have come to deny the existence of God because they have convinced themselves to believe in nature. The devils are those whose acknowledgment of God has been driven from their hearts because they have spent their lives committing crimes. “ Emanuel Swedenborg [TCR 35] |
