Watching a science show the other day, an astronomer is discussing the universe, he states that our universe (who else's?) is expanding, which leads to the question: where or what is it expanding into?
Obviously, we don't know, none of us will ever leave our galaxy, if we sent a probe to the edge of the universe by the time it gets there it's technology will have been obsolete for millennia.
But the obvious answer seems to be that it expands into nothingness. So, now we have to define nothingness, but through the act of giving it definition we then make it something; even a vacuum is something, it's a vacuum. What about saying that it is expanding into the indefinable?
But, scientist theorize, and if there was one big bang, why not more? A multiverse. There is no evil in these educated speculations. People who believe that the age of the universe is over 14 billion years are not evil or misguided. Believing in the evolution of man is in itself not an evil thing.
If a reader rejects what i write, i do not consider that person evil or misguided; we must all have the right to believe what the universe is expanding into. Many a person have considered me evil and misguided for rejecting the book they believe in; this i inferred from being told that i'm going to hell because of my beliefs.
When i was a child, the answer to that common question: where does God live? was often: where the universe ends. So, this planet's God, the One defined in that most human of all books, can it be that God is there in that indefinable beyond this universe and we (our universe) are like a cancerous growth?
