I owe it to my sister, who inspired me to author a book about religion by writing her first crime novel.

I owe special thanks to a brother in the Gospel who proofread my first draft and contributed to the improvement of my manuscript through his professional suggestions and cuts. I owe a great debt of gratitude to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for using scriptures from the standard works of the Holy Scriptures and quotations from Church publications, Hermann Menge's 1939 license-free Translation of the Bible, and LDS BOOKS for using quotations from their works.

Foreword

Who am I? Where do I come from? And where am I going? Eventually, most people will deal with these questions. What is the meaning and purpose of mortal life? Who is God and has He always existed? We humans see the universe on a starry summer night and are amazed at how everything moves in such a perfect order. We look at the plant world in its infinite beauty and ask about evolution or creation. Is it all just a coincidence or is there a plan behind it?

We marvel at the diversity of the animals and feel deep affection for them. Deep in our hearts, we recognize in all these things a perfect and creative Creator. We cannot explain it, we can only marvel and enjoy this beautiful world. But still, we long for answers.

In this book we will try to give any. It builds a bridge between physics and religion and describes the course of creation, as well as the meaning and purpose of life. Eventually, we arrive at a loving Heavenly Father and His plan of happiness.

Chapter 1

Light and Truth

Since the beginnings of science, man has been trying to understand the origin of the universe. The questions that unite all people are those of why a universe exists, how and when it came into being, and whether there is a deeper meaning behind it. Science has reached a point where the HOW can be answered for the most part. But to understand the WHY and THE WHEN, we need to build a bridge to religion. But first we want to get to know the particles and forces of the universe a little closer.

To be able to describe the universe, scientists’ study which particles and forces there are and try to trace them back to ever smaller and simpler ones to understand the origin of all things. They explored the basic building blocks of matter, the atoms, and found an atomic nucleus and a shell of electrons. It was discovered that the atomic nucleus consists of protons and neutrons, and that these each consist of three even smaller particles called quarks.

The forces occurring in nature and the universe were also simplified and attributed to four basic forces, gravity, electromagnetism, powerful force, and weak force.

It was discovered that these four forces are caused by exchange particles called gauge bosons. Science is concerned with all elementary particles of the universe, and the exchange particles of the four Basic Forces, due to the smallest energy threads called superstrings.

Science tries to find an all-connecting force or world formula for the four basic forces, the Theory of Everything. A formula that combines the four basic forces into a single force and with which all particles in the universe can be calculated. Widely accepted, but not yet mathematically proven, is the string theory, which can lead to a world formula. It says that ALL particles and forces in the universe are made up of one-dimensional energy threads.

These strings are not particles in the classical sense, but smallest, vibrating energy threads that exist in an infinitely large variety in the universe and are no longer divisible but represent the smallest unit of the universe. However, they can be influenced from the outside by energy and stimulated to vibrate. They absorb energy and form the smallest, spherical particles. Whatever theory is true, it can be said that in all particles and forces, there is always order, symmetry and harmony. A god-believing person might conclude that just as the sides of a cello obey their master, all particles and forces obey their Creator.

Let us now take a journey back in time to the origin of the universe and find out what has always existed.

»[...] everything indicates that there is a God; yes, even the earth and all that is on its face, yes, and its movement, yes, and all the planets that move in their regular order testify that there is a Supreme Creator.« 1

»[...]. Intelligence or the light of truth was not created or made and cannot be created. All truth is independent in the realm in which God has placed it, and can act for itself, as can all intelligence; otherwise, there is no existence. The glory of God is intelligence or, in other words, light and truth.« 2

Intelligence exists in the universe. This was not created, but has always existed and consists of light and truth, where truth can act for itself and must be acted on light (energy threads)?

When light and truth combine, an intelligence appears that can act for itself, yet is directed and shaped by God.

»And the light that shines and gives you light is through him who illuminates your eyes, and this is the same light that enlivens your understanding; this light emanates from the presence of God and fills the immensity of space— the light that is in everything, that gives life to all that is the law, whereby everything is governed, indeed, the power of God, who sits on his throne, who is in the womb of eternity, who is in the midst of everything.« 3

Let us come to the Light. Put simply, there is light (energy threads) and the non-visible light of truth (laws). If we assume that the light of truth is the darker energy present in the universe, we conclude that this intelligent force governs the whole universe physically, chemically, biologically, mathematically, and geometrically.

The light of truth (laws) comes from the glory of God and envelops, flows, and animates all the particles, forces, and energy threads in the universe, in nature and in all creatures. which becomes creation through a physical process chain from energy thread.

Light and truth is the origin of EVERYTHING that was, is and will be. Since the light emanating from God penetrates EVERYTHING, it can precisely control the processes in the energy threads, the formation of the particles up to the atoms, molecules, and molecular compounds.

God is omnipresent and can thus grasp and see the physical processes in the universe, as well as control them according to His will.

»He grasps everything, and everything is before him, and everything is around him; and he is above all and in everything, and is through everything, and is all around; and all things are through him and from him, namely God, forever and ever.« 4

»That God is omnipresent happens through the Holy Spirit, who permeates all things and is the life and light of all things. Through him, God sees, knows, and directs all things.« 5

If we want to combine physics and religion, we put forward the following hypothesis:

Through the power of God, he influences the energy threads in the universe with truth (energy). Due to this increase in energy, the thread shape is now too unstable. That is why the energy threads form into the smallest, spherical particles, because a sphere is the geometrically most stable form of matter.

Due to the different vibrational characteristics of the energy threads, different particles are created, just as the different sides of a cello produce different tones.

Depending on the oscillation, each energy thread becomes a specific particle, for example a quark, an electron, or a gauge boson. If quarks arrange themselves in two groups of three, two up quarks and a down quark (protons) or two down quarks and an up quark (neutrons), they form the atomic nucleus, and with the electrons (electron shell), controlled by the gauge bosons (force particles), the atoms, from which molecules and molecular compounds are then formed.

This is how one could imagine creation as a believer. Let us get to the TRUTH.

Put simply, truth is everything that is right and true. Truths include all the physical, chemical, biological, mathematical, and geometric laws of the universe, as well as the laws of all sciences and the building blocks of life of all creatures.

Truth (law) is in everything and gives life and drive to everything. The truths also include all the eternal laws of God, which are higher than scientific laws, and according to which God Himself, lives and governs.

Truths include all divine qualities, such as love, faithfulness, faith, hope, repentance, repentance, diligence, humor, knowledge, wisdom, holiness, reliability, justice, mercy, humility, gentleness, virtue, trust, sacrifice, zeal, forgiveness, purity, order, modesty, patience, discipline, goodness, sense of responsibility, power, authority, wisdom, strength, and many others.

But truth is even more. Past, present, and even future is truth or will become truth. The latter is not tangible for us because it has not yet happened from our linear point of view. For God, who sees EVERYTHING at the same time as a Great NOW, it is already happening as if it were counter valued.

»And truth is knowledge of something as it is and as it was and as it will come.« 6

In search of a source, a creative origin, we discover a bridge between physics and religion and find a Creator. Let us imagine a beautiful painting that says to his painter: You didn't paint me; I was created by chance. Or a perfect statue says to its sculptor, You didn't knock me out of a rock, I'm a whim of nature.

Chapter 2

Spirit and Element

NAfter we as believers have traced the origin of all creation, we ask about matter. What is present in the universe? Can all things in it act freely and move accordingly? Is there chaos or order? What states prevail in the universe?

We now know that there are two things in the universe, light, and truth. We also learn about two different states in the universe. One can act itself, the other cannot.

»[...] for there is a God, and he created everything, both the heavens and the earth, and all that which is in it, both that which acts and that which is acted upon.« 1

The last sentence of this verse is made even clearer by an earlier translation from the basic text.

»[...] both that which determines his own actions and what is determined.« 2

What exactly can act on its own? And what needs to be influenced because it cannot act itself?

»[...]. Intelligence or the light of truth was not created or made and cannot be created. All truth is independent in the realm in which God has placed it, and can act for itself, as can all intelligence; otherwise, there is no existence; the glory of God is intelligence or, in other words, light and truth.« 3

When light and truth are connected, matter is created. This exists in two states, namely mind and element, so fine, spiritual matter, and coarse, physical matter, which can be connected or separated from each other.

»[...] Spirit and element, inseparably linked, receive an abundance of joy; but if they are separated, man cannot receive a fullness of joy.« 4

So, existence in the universe consists of truths or intelligences that are independent and can act in some way themselves. If we assume that light, so the energy threads, cannot act on their own, they must be influenced from the outside with the non-visible light of truth (laws), whereupon they become light and truth, an intelligence that can be commanded by God. The great Creator takes a truth (frequency) and thus influences a vibrating energy thread. Through the frequency (energy) of the truth, the energy thread receives its mass (energy), its charge (interaction) and its spin (intrinsic angular momentum) and thus becomes a certain particle or force particle.

This fusion of truths and energy threads creates the gauge bosons (force particles) that cause the four fundamental forces of the universe, the quarks (elementary particles) that form the atomic nucleus, the leptons (light particles) that form the atomic shell, the mesons (medium particles) and the baryons (heavy particles).

»There is no such thing as non-material matter. All spirit is matter, but it is finer or purer and can only be known by purer eyes; we cannot see it, but once our body is clean, we will see that spirit is nothing but matter.« 5

The spiritual, fine matter consists of strings with a lower vibrational energy, as if plucking the side of a cello more gently, creating a quieter tone.

Conversely, this would
