What did it sound like?

When God spoke the cosmos into being, what did it sound like?

The First Law of Thermodynamics notwithstanding, all that energy and matter (could they be one in the same at that point?) was newly created.

Well, in modern time and space, when something like that happens, for instance the detonation of an atomic bomb, we get a massive explosion that registers on the Richter scale.

You can imagine the affect such an explosion would have on the eardrums of passersby. You might hear them query, "What was that Big Bang?"

"Musings of a Troglodyte" is not 100% all mine and mine alone

I just did a web search and found that at least one or two other people had already come up with this. I suppose there is truly nothing new under the sun. But I will maintain the namesake, at least until I get a notice from someone's lawyer.

String Theory

The New Testament makes a surprising reference to string theory. In the book of Colossians, chapter 1 verse 17, Paul states that "in Him all things hold together." I don't think Paul intended to venture into cosmic theories, but nevertheless, he makes a simple statement, that if considered in the proper light, really sums up string theory- the idea that some yet to be found element or force underlies and thereby guides all natural laws of this universe. The "Him" being, of course, Jesus, specified here and elsewhere as the agent responsible for all of Creation.

If one is able to entertain this idea, it answers a lot of questions.
