Reply #18: Could we be God?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

To me there seem to be two major forces in physical reality. One is the entropy by which things seem to break down and get chaotic. Some say the universe will end up dispersing and its galaxies and suns will die out after they scatter far from each other. The other force seems to be that of life, that concentrates energy and builds higher and higher structures.

Could it be that humans or an intelligence that evolves and replaces them will one day harness all of the energy and matter around them into structures? Could that life force even develop the means to go back in time and reunify each particle of time, energy and matter? Could that life force eventually concentrate everything into one mathematical point of pure logic, order, energy and matter? I think there was an ancient Greek philospher (can't remember his name, Empedocles, perhaps?) who said that the two essential elements of reality were hate (the chaotic disruptive force) and love (the attractive, logical and structural force).

No, I haven't been smoking anything today.

On Edit: If you have lost someone very close to you as I have, know that they exist somewhere in time. That physical reality containing them is still there, but time has moved on. Perhaps some day there will be a way of reuniting everyone in every moment in space and time and every living thing into a oneness. It might be some state of reality beyond time and space but I trust that that is what the intelligent life force seeks to achieve. Call it a belief in the power of love.
