Description

This spiritualty book presents the good news of the re-creation of humankind, the creation according to the quantum cosmology’s non-local worldview contrasted with ancient cosmology’s local worldview.

Within the last forty years, scientific discoveries and knowledge about our universe contain unprecedented theological implications. They imply that the creator exists, more so than ever before. These discoveries have developed a worldview that challenges both theologians and scientists to engage in a mutually fruitful dialogue.

From Creation to Re-Creation uniquely presents God’s accomplishments as author Daniel Lazich transports himself to a time when authors wrote creation narratives to depict the contrast between the ancient epics and biblical narrative. It forcefully asserts that the creation of this world and humankind was accomplished by the Creator, who loves humanity selflessly. This assertion is backed by the most advanced study and research concerning our universe’s nature.

Lazich writes that the final observer in quantum cosmology and God in the Bible are the same. From Creation to Re-Creation employs unprecedented theological implications to assert that the creator’s existence is necessary for the universe and humankind in it to exist.

INTRODUCTION
Wi thin the last forty years, scientific discoveries and knowledge about our universe contain unprecedented theological implications. They imply that the Creator exists, more so than ever before. These discoveries have developed a worldview that challenges both theologians and scientists to engage in a mutually fruitful dialog.
Scientists in quantum cosmology have observed and studied regions of our universe that humankind did not know existed until recently. Others have investigated the exotic subatomic world of particles to discover how our universe functions. The knowledge gained from these studies has been unimaginable just a few decades ago.
Information presented here is in general terms to facilitate understanding by all readers, hopefully. A detailed information presented in precise scientific way can be found in numerous reports and publications in the field of quantum physics, quantum cosmology, and the anthropic cosmological principles.
The new knowledge and discoveries about our universe imply that we, humankind, reside in a universe that is fine-tuned to our existence and that it gives the appearance of a unique one. There is a convincing indication that an all-knowing intelligence selected a type of universe that would be suitable for the carbon-based intelligent life, humankind, specifically. Our new knowledge and understanding leads to a possibility that the Ultimate Intelligence, the Creator, who possessed all knowledge, selected the essential parameters of our universe. The basic parameters of our universe appear to be fine-tuned to our existence and no other intelligent life.
This treatise will refer to God, the Creator, as the Absolute (Unchangeable) Intelligence for ease of understanding.
The new knowledge about our universe implies that our universe may be one of an exceedingly great number of universes. Regions of spacetime may not be the only regions within God’s dominion. There could possibly be an infinite series of regions in God’s dominion. However, humankind cannot research such possibilities.
Our universe is certainly not an ordinary or routine one. The construction and the functionality of our universe also indicates that it was not made by accident. In contrast, studies and observations of our universe imply that the Creator selected it before initiation of its beginning. An intelligence that possessed all knowledge, possible, about our universe must have selected the value of its critical parameters before its creation.
New knowledge about our universe reveals the nature of our reality in stark contrast to classical understanding. Quantum cosmology and anthropic cosmological principles contain unprecedented theological implications concerning the Absolute Being, the Creator. These implications indicate that a truthful reassessment of Christian theology’s relationship to classical philosophy could be beneficial. Such a reassessment would enable a theological worldview that is more proper and in line with the now known facts of our universe and its Creator.
Ancient-time and the classical worldview do not fit well with the observed facts of our universe and its nature. The ancient-time worldview is highly limited and local. The austere nature of the ancient worldview is not a deliberate attempt to promote a particular view. We should not fault the biblical and ancient epic authors for writing in the way that they did. In ancient and biblical time, authors did the best that they could have done. Their ability to discover and grow in knowledge was highly restricted.
The classical worldview is highly deterministic because classical philosophy is deterministic. Therefore, ancient-time and the classical worldviews are not suitable for understanding the current nonlocal reality, as advanced studies imply. The world view enabled by recent discoveries is nonclassical, nondeterministic, and universal. Therefore, both theologians and scientists would benefit more from a global perspective than a local one. A descriptive interaction with our reality, rather than a proscriptive one, would help all humanity.
However, such a reassessment requires acceptance that human beings have three parts that are unique to carbon-based intelligence (or carbon-based life). These parts are the human spirit (intelligence), the body, and the soul.
In classical philosophy and theology, the human soul represents human identity. The nonclassical worldview and understanding suggests that the human spirit (intelligence) is the human identity. As we shall see, in the chapter on creation, that when the Creator placed the spirit into the human body, man became a living being. Therefore, the human spirit is the motive force for human life. In its biblically based role, the Holy Spirit resides in yielded believers and communicates to their human spirit, influencing correct thinking and a proper decision-making process. The human spirit, in the Bible, and intelligence, in physics are one and the same part of the human being.
Quantum cosmology and anthropic cosmological principles describe the Absolute Intelligence as the Final Observer, which is the Biblical Creator. Individual intelligent inhabitants of the universe are local observers. They collectively act as the interior decorators of their observed dwelling, the spacetime region. Final Observer coordinates the observations made by the lesser individual and collective observers into one whole structure.
Therefore, it appears that for a universe such as ours to exist at all, the Final Observer must have it in his mind continually. In human terms, the Final Observer must have the universe and its inhabitants in his memory always. If the Final Observer were to forget us for a fraction of a second, we and our universe would cease to exist. The description of the Final Observer in anthropic cosmological principles conforms well to the Judeo-Christian concept of God, the Creator. Despite efforts to the contrary, the quantum definition of the Final Observer is not going away.
Readers of biblical verses and narratives would benefit from the distinction between the experience of faith and the intellectual analyses of faith-based experience. Theologians would do well to rely less on local experience, which may influence a subjective worldview. Local and subjective interpretations of religious experience can produce greater detail of ever-diminishing reality. While it may lack detail, a global worldview may help reconcile locally perceived conflicts. Such a worldview can reinforce the realization that God acts in
