When I realized that atomic particles behaviour as observed under the microscope in the laboratory and described from creation to collapse by notable scientists, I was amazed to find they paralleled the diverse human behaviour and interactions with their human peers on
earth. This gave me reasons to believe that we live on and orbit a sophisticated
macro atom - the earth - and the human species are its 'particles' with human configuarations. The Jains philosophers of India upheld the idea of atomism and said that due to the inherent chemical action and reaction of
atoms they can combine, react, vibrate, move, and perform other actions, all of which were thoroughly deterministic. Apart from this the atoms come in various shapes, i.e. round, square, oblong, cylindrical, rectangular, etc, making the configuration of forms easy.
Since we live in a world of dualisms it stands to reason that the microscopic atom, a basic unit of
matter, has a corresponding
macroscopic atom, consisting of sophisticated macro units of matter (atoms - elements containing the unique chemical properties of that element) clinging around and orbiting a nucleus – the sun. Both obey the same cosmic laws and principles in space-time. Various atomic constituents can either cling together around a nucleus to form a sophisticated system working in concert as a coherent whole, (i.e. a computer) or separate as basic systems (i.e. the telephone). The smaller the atomic system the smaller space and the shorter its time/life expectancy is, and uses less energy for work, while the more sophisticated the atom the greater its intrinsic energy for greater work.
It also stands to reason that the same laws and principles that act upon micro atoms under the microscope in the laboratory the macro atoms also obey – in their designated space-time. A correlation between the workings of micro and macro atomic systems is indisputably obvious. The Uncertainty Principle and Entropy being the most significant laws indicating the level of disorder an atom is at to predict its collapse. The earth is one of those macro systems that is nearing equilibrium.
The
solar system is a closed system with the sun as its nucleus, (versus an isolated system), able to
exchange heat for work with its variable macro components - the planets, moons, and stars - but cannot exchange matter. The process is irreversible.
The earth is able to exchange matter with its environment by means of assimilation and metabolism for growth and reproduction
(first law of thermodynamics). The thermal heat the earth received during regeneration was in exchange for its work sustaining life on the planet and is irreversible
(second law of thermodynamics). When the components of the solar system,
in particular the earth, approach their absolute zero of temperature all processes virtually cease and the entropy of the system approaches a minimum value
(third law of thermodynamics) and the solar system will again collapse into a black hole to regenerate all its variables of thermal energy.
When this is completed a new Big Bang will occur again and a new cycle begins with a new creation on earth. This is the basis of all subsequent cosmic cycles in a timeless evolution, and hence
the earth is the center of the universe the hub of activity sustained by the sun, planets and moons. It could be compared to a mall that is on the outskirt of the city, and all life centers on the mall, the hub of activity, sustaining the people, though it is not in the literal center of the city, unlike the sun that is the literal center of the solar system, yet both are ‘centers’.
The Greek philosopher Aristotle held that there were four levels from causation to actuality:
The
The Formal Cause tells us what a thing is which can be determined by the definition, form, pattern, essence, whole, synthesis, or archetype. It embraces the account of causes in terms of fundamental principles or general laws, as the whole (macrostructure) is the cause of its parts (the whole-part causation).
The Efficient Cause is that from which the change or the ending of the change first starts. It identifies ‘what makes of what is made and what causes change of what is changed’.
The Final Cause is that for the sake of which a thing exists or is done, including both purposeful and instrumental actions and activities. The final cause render the end-directed result. This also covers modern ideas of mental causation involving such psychological causes as volition, need, motivation, or motives, rational, irrational, ethical, all that gives purpose to behaviour.
Referring now to actuality, this is the fulfillment of the end of the potentiality. The end is when the seed of the plant manifests a plant - and for the human species it means they moved from darkness to enlightenment (the God-selected ones, those with the potentiality of becoming) – the actuality.
The solar system operates in 7000-year cycles and at present we’re at the 6000th year mark. The ‘day of rest’ will soon arrive. At the end of the 7000 years the solar system will experience a Big Crunch and will return for regeneration. ‘Special Creation’ and ‘Evolution’ are quite reconcilable.
