And so we come to the second post. The attempt to put a translation in perspective. You will note that an emphasis is put on the "Hebrew" original in most translations which is foolish, since the original writing on which the Hebrew is based was taken down in Greek and perhaps heavily influenced by the Persians. Hence, we can dispel with the notion of purity since the equipment has not yet been constructed which would allow us to consult with the author and in this case the subsequent revisionists who affect this story. But I digress.
In the beginning...The beginning in a non-linear time or EHT universe has very little meaning. It would have to be a reference to the point at which creation was started and not to the existence
But what a great way to begin the books..."In the beginning". It is a writing gift and I long to know if it originated with Moses, the editors afterwards, or the Greeks who took down the messages. Is it perhaps one of those things common to all 40 of the Rabbis, a rhetorical device which was used to keep track of all things.
"God created..." Here is where we must depart from the "the heavens and the earth" and instead look to "the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind (spirit) from God swept over the face of the waters." In fact, the translation of the world as "chaos" in certain translations might teach away from the EHT theory that everything happens at once until time becomes linear, i.e. the writers would be disagreeing with Einstein. But the interpretation as "emptiness and futility" might be more in line with a non-linearity concept since from our perspective, a universe that has no dimension could hardly be less empty and if everything happens at once, than the events themselves serve no purpose from a linear writer's perspective.
The idea of "breath" or "spirit" moving over "the face of the waters" can, since we are really just parsing phrases for our own selfish purposes be read with "darkness covered the face of the deep." Darkness means there is no light yet, hence clock time 2 has not yet come to exist, there is likely no dimension. But "the deep" might be cause to believe in dimension as do "the face of the waters". However, in this case, it says that darkness covered the face and hence it can be interpreted that the absence of clock time was a covering of linearity as we experience it. However, all time exists at once, all thought exists at once and hence it is likely that you could say that the concentration of all thought without time or dimension falls neatly into this, since it would in fact be a part of this dimensionless everything and might be "over" it in the sense that it can control its movement from non-linearity to linearity.
Further, both darkness and waters are part of chaos theory and waters could further be looked at as the potential flowing of events which would soon become linear.
"Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light." Light without matter is what we call the universe without clock time (1) but this does envision clock time (2) has started (and clock time 3 if such can be said to exist (dimension without motion-space) before clock time (2) dimension with motion (energy) in NLT.
"And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness." God creates time in this which is entirely consistent with NLT having multiple clock times possible.
The rest of the creation myth is irrelevant since it deals with post linearity and hence is the study of newtonian, relativistic space, so we are largely done here, although if there was a purpose to given a biblical foundation consistent with NLTheory we'd have done that; and if we wanted to reconcile this with later references to creation and the concept of god in the Einstein Hologram Universe or under NLT we could certainly wax eloquent over a long time.
Anti-climatic you say? I'm not so sure. To really understand, we'll have to discuss when the books or the bible were written in context and for this we need to start with Zeno, but that is another series of posts.
