Some wonder if I have lost my marbles.   Perhaps, but it is the same set of marbles I have been chasing since the formal age of eight.   Without any formal training; well, sort of.
You see, around eight I wrote about whistling.
Whistling, the noise you make when you blow energy from your lungs through pursed tongue.
The energy you release is infinite.
Meaning you create it, you have made it, you have transferred your own capacity to make energy into an active state, projected it, and it is ridiculous to think it just disappears once you can no longer hear it……  it still exists, because you created it, you just can no longer identify it, locate it, or reasonably quantify it.
But the energy itself must still exist.   Somewhere.  There is no anti-energy void around us to take it.

When you transfer that thought outward into the larger dynamic you begin to understand why scientists have identified a growing universe.
The universe is finite, a known and quantifiable size, and yet infinitely growing at a rate quantified through the process of gravitational expansion.
Everything is moving away from its direct origin.
Everything.
And here is where it gets interesting, it is expanding at exactly the same rate everywhere.     Light years from here, the expansion is the same there, as it is here between you and your fingers tapping these keys.
Gallilelo noticed it, but never knew what it was.   Newton, continued it and gave it a name.  Einstein quantified it, and applied the basic principles of physics to its definition.
Gravity.
There are four known factors that create all energy.    Two of them are factors of the small sciences, nuclear:  Fission and Fusion.    Another energy factor is electromagnetic – that is the one we use and have harnessed.   The last factor is the big unknown factor, Gravity.
Fission and Fusion can grow, expel and then weaken to insignificance.  Half lives.   But even in a half life it never actually fully disappears.    Think about walking to a point by taking a step half-way each time.   You may start at 1 foot, then 1/2 foot, then 1/4 foot, then 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, 1/128, 1/256th etc.  But you never get to zero.  Ever.
Such a remainder is the expansion of energy even in diminishment.   Just like the whistle.
Electromagnetic energy is what we use to transfer energy from point A to point B.   It is what is powering your computer right now.  It is what gives us power in all things.   Even when we use the nuclear factors to expand energy, we do so through electromagnetic transference.   It is what could best be described as the energy of engineers.

But the biggie is the factor of Gravity.   It is everywhere, in everything, at exactly the same rate and principle.   Yet no-one can explain it or why/how it exists – let along try to duplicate or harness it.
No matter where it is, and it is everywhere, it has a constant rate of application.   It binds the entire universe, and yet simultaneously expands it.
All other energy factors can intertwine with it, but nothing can effect it.   Nothing impacts the applied dynamic of gravity.    It is constant.   Yet, the same force that keeps the universe in place allows you to pick up a pencil.   You are connected to it in all things, at all places, in exactly the same rate you would be even if you were light years away from your current location.
Gravity is the unknown factor.   Completely unknown.
Steven Hawkins (whom I dislike immensely) has worked his entire life to bring the science of the small, nuclear, into the same reality as the science of the large, gravity.   His current endeavors are to use the former to identify what creates the latter.
He will fail.  Always.
Why?
For the exact reason that no-one can explain the origin.
The Big Bang *theory* is a vague attempt to explain what is actually at the end point of those half-steps in reverse.
(read that slowly three times and understand the truth within it).
At the heart of all theory is a non-explanation of the origin of gravity.   Except to say:  It always was, it always is, and it always will be.   Sound familiar?
It should, because that is why Galileo, Newton, and Einstein believed in God.    The Origin.
The reason this interests me to talk about now is because we have admitted atheists engaged in the Tree house.   They have faith in science, and science has faith in God, but the atheist does not believe in God, however He is defined.   See the issue?   This has never made sense to me.
Freewill, is a soul.   Like an eaten apple.  We transfer gravitational energy from one thing to the next, but we never eliminate it.  It just grows.
The energy of the apple cannot be identified as Fusion, nor fission, and it most certainly is not electromagnetic, that leaves only gravity to act upon it.
Growth = Energy expanding = Gravity; in all forms….
Take the energy from an apple, absorb it, use it to purse your tongue and flex your lungs and whistle.   You have just transferred it – you have not eliminated it.   You have become a vessel for it.   Such is the same with all things.
Including life.
It begins with the transfer of energy, it continues with the absorption (growth) and transference of energy, and it continues even after the body is finished.   The expelled energy never just disappears.    It is the cycle of life.   A growing circle.
All points on the circle expanding at the same rate as the universe.
Like a stone dropped in a lake.   The energy creating a circular ripple on the water expanding at a rate of gravity.   Half, by half, by half but never actually disappearing into a void of nothingness.
Even when the unseen, and perhaps unquantifiable ripple, reaches the shoreline it is still displacing the air above it, transferring the energy outward and expanding.   It never stops.
All things grow together.    In life, and in physical human death, the energy does not disappear.
The circle closes, but the ripple expands – infinitely….
…. and at the origin, God.
