Dual Booting a Contingent Universe

God created creatures called humans. In this paradigm the creatures learn through divine revelation that God is real and concerned about them. That is humanity has received sufficient communication to assemble in the Bible. What about God’s point of view of things? We don’t often consider that (as if we could) yet we might act a little as if we did in order to understand our own situation as human beings a little better.

God is. God is the great I am. God is God. God is being. Creating creatures or anything sentient with its own Universe is like dual booting an operating system that isn’t aware that it exists within a larger OS. God can set aside a partitioned area of the omnipotent hard drive and create a Universe or Multi-verse within it containing people, animals, matter and energy with its own protocols of order. It has death in it-nothingness delimiting the temporal boundaries of the creatures. Like an operating system that won’t be maintained forever-like Windows XP unfortunately-humanity in the partitioned Universe just won’t be maintained in their contingent being beyond a certain, finite date.

Within the partitioned area of the hard drive the existence of the partition cannot be known. Only revelation arriving from God transcending the partition can inform the creatures of the true nature of their existence. Though mankind as fallen, temporal being subject to evolutionary thermodynamic entropy has implicit facts, obedience to the revealed will of God frees humanity from that bondage to sin. Sin is fundamental disobedience to the will of God.

Sin is itself an aspect of nothingness. Being and nothingness is the veritable dichotomy of good and evil. Evil and sin is the brinksmanship in disobedience unto nothingness.

Philosophically speaking God is the unmoved mover Being all things. He is Lord of everything. Nothing is a mysterious element that permits free will to make errors; errors, falsehoods and intentions leading to nothingness. Containing disobedient free will within the temporal Universe is a brilliant way of adapting the altered spiritual condition of the beta version humans Adam and Eve to a Universal environment commensurate with their change. It has strife and challenge. Yet God still cares about His creatures and the Son appeared as man himself in order to give humanity a way to return to a normative, obedient relation with God. Jesus Christ is God as is the Holy Spirit. The trinity cohere within one another for-us.

The Universal operating system has physical cosmology of great interest with the pursuit of knowledge of that system developed in natural philosophy. God is however, live, eternal and creations and everything else are contingent aspects of His own Being. God is all Being yet not all sentient beings are God. In a comparable way-all of the data and programs in an operating system of a contingent operating system were created by the meta-operating system programmer and are in a sense ‘his’ too, however not all of the individual lines of code in the contingent Universe OS are the operating system. Anyone who has looked at the files on Windows knows that not all files including program files can be said to be the Windows operating system.

Perhaps I didn’t make that last point very clear. Here is another point of difference yet, Windows isn’t the hardware comprising the computer whereas the operating system for the contingent Universe in it’s partitioned area comprises that Universe’s hardware.

The steady state Universe of entangled quantum mass and energy is regarded by some as information or bits of data with locations running in accord with thermodynamic physical laws of causality. The OS is the hardware flowing from an original boundary condition at the point of origin-Big Bang, Inflaton, Membrane or Dimension collisions whatever. That Universe exists as a partitioned area-one cannot locate evidence of the metaphysics of the realm beyond the partition because God exists beyond, spiritually. Only through the word of God and in particular the Lord Jesus Christ can one return to freedom with obedience to the will of God. God forgives the sin of the fallen creatures of the temporal partition if they accept the Son as their Lord.

Jesus Christ made the atoning sacrifice on the cross.  He showed that God recognizes the fallen human condition and condemns it even in His Son yet because Jesus Christ was resurrected God showed that there is a way through and away from that temporal human condition leading to death and unto the right eternal relationship with the Creator transcending the temporal Universe and sin. God does not condemn God. In other words God didn’t condemn Jesus Christ-only the temporal physical form of mankind existing in the partitioned Universe OS. People have the ability to overcome their programmed D.N.A. and have faith in the Lord and His sacrifice providing a way unto the right relationship with God and eternal life in heaven (the operating system beyond the partition where God is the evident administrator).
