    I don't know what you mean by taking God as a frame of reference. Also, I don't see evidence that God is the narrator in Genesis.

    You should look into how and when our solar system was created before you assume that a literal translation of Genesis is relevant.

    I mean that it doesn't start from the perspective of earth. But the wider cosmos.

    Surely insisting on Genesis being literal is an entirely unnecessary conflict with evidence that has been gathered over the ages.

    Chaim Henry Tejman M. D. felt that there were two fundamental forces..... corresponding basically with pushing and pulling....... or perhaps Strings vs Waves???????

    I quoted him here in my blog......

    You can't just sling words you heard of from science and pretend that gives support to some random idea.

    Ok.......... so do you personally see no correlation whatsoever between the higher invisible dimensions postulated in String Theory...... and Grand Unified Theory of Space - time.....
    with the higher invisible dimensions that near death experiencers report?

    These are quotations from an article written by Stephen Hawking Ph. D. in a science encyclopaedia published back in the 1990's. The article was on Grand Unified Theory.

    In 1943.... five decades before Dr. Stephen Hawking wrote about invisible dimensions of space and time as a part of Grand Unified Theory and String Theory.....
    Dr. George Ritchie claims to have been shown FOUR higher invisible dimensions that operate at higher and higher and higher levels of light / truth / love and vibration.

    The issue is evidence. Human progress in physics is based on observation.

    I'd add that Grand Unified Theory doesn't include gravity. Plus, there isn't really just one GUT - most don't include the idea of other dimensions. Plus, string theory is a direction in which theoretical physicists explore what MIGHT be, using math and modeling to extend beyond what we actually know. There is a WIDE range of ideas that come from this direction and are neither falsified or supported by evidence. Plus, string theory is NOT the only direction in which theoretical physicists look.

    Pretending that dreams, "near death experience", religious cosmology, etc., are consistent with these ideas is just plain ridiculous.

    And, it is not a valid methodology to pick words out of context and then suggest they support your religious ideas.

    Physicists have dreams and religious beliefs, too. But, physicists don't proclaim those dreams to be physics. And, you shouldn't either.

    I think the concept of "nothing exists" is inherently contradictory. Like a married bachelor.
