Einstein and Super String Theories

I had one of those dozing/waking moments this afternoon after hours of pouring over super string theories and related subjects...gravitational force, electromagnetism, weak nuclear, strong nuclear...and as I pondered/dreamt about the relationships between matter and energy, the thought occured to me (it's probably not original), "What if words were the unifying force that scientists are searching for?"

God spoke and the world came into being. We know that we can even change (to a nominal extent) our bodies by what we speak: negative words and thoughts twist not only our minds, but our bodies eventually follow (symptoms: chronic pain, our cells tend toward immuno-deficiencies, etc.). We've all heard of people who were literally twisted and crippled by bitterness of spirit.

And we know that happy, positive thinking can bring wholeness and health to our physical bodies. We've all heard it said hundreds of times: "Where the mind goes, the body follows."

So, back to words...we know that the Bible says the tongue has the power of life and death. Jesus even said we would be judged for every word we speak. He also said that we could call things which were not as though they were and they would come into being. I could go on and on...

What if the words we speak really are creating realities now and in the future? What if words are THE grand unifying force which binds all other forces together: gravitational, electromagnetic, nuclear...on the subatomic level? We know that it already works on the cellular level...is it not possible that it works on an even more miniscule/molecular/subatomic level?

Think about it: The power of words might explain the anomalies and inconsistencies in harmonic relationships which scientists and mathematicians are struggling to explain. Words could be the missing element which ties everything together. This is the power which allows us to bind on earth what has already been bound in heaven and to loose on earth what has been loosed in heaven (which by all reasoning exists outside of our space-time continuum).

This would also explain so many miracles; Moses parting the Red Sea, Jesus walking on water, water turning into wine, Jesus' transfiguration, healings... Jesus said he had the power to do all of that stuff (without words), but so that the people would believe, he spoke the word.

I love the "what ifs"...don't you? I realize that to some this will sound heretical. But if we really believe God, we will remain rooted in Christ, attached to the vine. Then we know that we can have what we ask and it will be done. And that "all things are possible to those who believe." (Mark 9: 23) We do not deceive ourselves into thinking that we are the source.

As James said (1:16-18), "Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits (or fragrant offering) of all he created." Maybe this is what Newton and company were onto. Einstein once wrote: "I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details."

As the Geneva scientists (at CERN) continue to attempt to measure their hypotheses with the Large Hadron Collider, I am reminded of a plaque, allegedly hung above Einstein's office, which read: "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." Who can measure the spirit or the power of God at work in man?

It makes me wonder what kind of reality I speak into existence on a daily basis by my words? How much more do I want to choose my words with care? What kind of world do I want to live in? What is in my power, as a child of God, to create? What is possible?
