John, the point I was making is that my life is centered around the
concept of continued existence, after this mortal phase is finished.
This mortal phase of my existence isn't the most im****tant, since it
lasts only a brief "three score and ten years" nominally. So, if it
could be proven that God does not exist, I would, in effect, be
deprived of all but this very trivial mortal phase of my existence.
That would indeed be a very devastating shock!
I'm not concerned that God's existence can ever be falsified, so I'm
not at all apprehensive about this. I see too many things that
indicate God's existence, and I see nothing that falsifies it.
Superstring Theory and Membrane Theory, sometimes combined and
referred to as SSM Theory, present some very interesting insights that
seem to corroborate the Biblical information. SSM Theory posits 10
spatial dimensions and one tem****al dimension in a multiverse that
includes this three dimensional space and one time dimension universe
we perceive. Those other dimensions that form the other universes
(levels of Heaven) in the multiverse are rolled up like a scroll (as
the Bible puts it) to less than a Planck length (as SSM Theory puts
it).
The phyla of life on this planet underwent an enormous surge during a
10 - 20 million year interval called the Cambrian Explosion, about 540
million years ago, then stopped at the end of this interval. There is
an abundance of geological, paleontological information to verify
this.
The Bible tells us that God created all the creatures, then rested.
This Biblical information is congruent with the verified Cambrian
Explosion information.
If Darwinian evolution is right, why did it work do vigorously for
about 10 million years, then stop, abruptly, at the end of the
Cambrian Explosion of life forms, some 540 million years ago?
