Purpose of Creation

The substance of the creator is the same as the
substance of creation. Since there are billions of substances in
nature, each with dozens of qualities, I concluded that there may be
one common nature and I hit upon gravity.
Gravity affects the smallest and largest particles in
the universe, from quarks as tiny as 1/10,000,000,000,000,000.of a
millimeter to galaxies as large as 20 billion or more light years
wide including the invisible dark matter which is more than five
times the mass of all the billions of visible stars put together.
Gravity is a natural force that makes objects move towards each
other. It is an attraction of one mass for another and is present in
every material in the universe. This shows that the common nature of
the universe is gravity.
Gravitational pull of the earth holds all objects on
the surface of the earth. If it is not for gravity, all objects on
the face of the earth would fly off at the 66,000 miles per hour
(mph) speed along the orbit and 1000 mph rotational speed on its
axis.
Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces in the
universe. The shape of the universe is a function of gravity. Weather
patterns are created by gravity. Tides and ocean currents are the
results of gravity.
Gravity keeps the earth and other planets in the
solar system in orbit around the sun when the sun orbits with its
nine planets and the asteroids at a velocity of 495,000 miles per
hour to complete one circuit around the centre of the milky way
galaxy in 225 million years. It plays a role in the geometric
structure of the universe. It regulates the motion of the stars and
galaxies.
There is nothing in the universe that is free from
gravity.
The outward expansion of the gases due to big bang
continues after nearly 15 billion years. Since the pull of gravity is
very small and since there are no objects to interfere with that
outward force, the expansion will continue for a long time, maybe
millions or billions of years. Eventually it will stop and gravity
will cause a contraction. Then there will be a second big bang and
the cycle may repeat itself.
Now we have to check and see if our finding of
attraction of one mass for another is correct for it is the basis of
all our assumptions and conclusions.
We see that quarks attach to each other because of
affinity and become protons, neutrons and atoms. Atoms join together
through affinity (atomic attraction) and become molecules. Molecules
join together because of molecular attraction and become all things
in the universe. Therefore, the whole universe exists because of
affinity.
This affinity (gravity) functions everywhere. If this
is the nature of the created universe, it must be the nature of the
Creator. In simple words gravity is attraction or affinity and
affinity is love. This is the nature of all matter derived from
creator's substance. This shows the nature of the creator's substance
is love. Therefore creator is love.
All religions bombard us with divine laws of justice
and punishment I wanted more proof that the nature of the creator is
really not justice and punishment, not maintenance of law and order,
or divine authority. It is not enforcement of strict obedience to
divine law. It is not punishment of recalcitrants with threat of
torture and eternal hell fire for those who still refuse to obey. It
is love, infinite love, unconditional love.
To prove this truth I looked for other
characteristics of love. The first characteristic I looked for was
companionship. Love must seek companionship.
Aquinas wrote that love is universally in everything.
St. John, who escaped unhurt when plunged into a
cauldron of boiling oil at the persecution of Domitian, writes "He
that loveth not, knoweth not God for God is love and Love is god"
Aristotle says that when men are friends there is no
need for justice. Therefore the question of mercy does not arise with
love.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam say that God created
Eve as companion for Adam and that God came into the Garden of Eden
looking for Adam and Eve to have companionship. This is a function of
love.
We see companionship everywhere in nature. Birds
gather together in flocks, fish form schools, ants and bees form
colonies, and human beings form societies.
In the Sonnets Shakespeare says, "All creatures in
the world through love exist"
Even Buddhism asserts that "entities exist because
they are interconnected with all that exists."
I collected all available evidence, to find what love
will and will not do. I compared the nature of love with the nature
of the creator and found that the homogeneity tallied to the nth
degree.
Then I tried to find the similarity between the
nature of the creator and hatred. I found that there was no
resemblance whatsoever between them. Therefore I was convinced that
the nature of the creator is love.
Further research showed that love is kind, patient,
long-suffering, shares everything it has, and is respectful of its
protege. Love will not hate, will not quarrel, will not punish, will
not get angry, and love is not jealous. Love is not boastful, and not
selfish.
Love seeks to give rather than get. Love seeks no
credit but gives its protege all credits for achievements. Love has
no secret, reveals everything of self, and doesn't insist on
obedience from its protege. It desires to be with its beloved and
even to unite and become one. It does not look down upon the physical
nature of its protege nor exult over the spiritual nature of self,
allows freedom of thought and action for everyone. The nature of love
is to love its enemies; in fact love has no enemies.
All these characteristics agree with the nature of
the creator and love. Therefore the nature of the creator is love.
