In the Beginning was Information

through volition. The Bible tells us about the link between will andwisdom:– “You created all things, and by your will they were created andhave their being” (Revelation 4:11).– “How many are your works, O Lord! In wisdom You madethem all; the earth is full of your creatures” (Psalm 104:24).– “Christ, in Whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom andknowledge” (Colossians 2:3).In the light of Colossians 1:17 and Hebrews 1:3 we can say thatJesus sustains all energy, all matter, and all biological information(i. e. He sustains all life). Everything that exists, does so throughChrist; He is the First Cause of all things.

We have scientificallyshown that this view is erroneous.According to His will, God gave us many creative gifts. For example:Our free will enables us to act creatively. The gift of languageis the instrument through which we can produce new information(creative information!). But there are two things which we cannotdo: we cannot create mass (or energy), neither can we destroy it.The spiritual meaning of the four basic entities: It should be notedthat the above-mentioned four fundamental quantities have aspiritual dimension in the Bible where man is concerned. For example:In 1 Corinthians 2:14-15 a distinction is made between the naturalman and the spiritual man. The former is exclusively concernedwith this world, and is not bothered with the message of theBible. His philosophy ignores God, and he thus does not considerJesus Christ, neither is he concerned about God’s purpose, salvation.He will be eternally lost without the Saviour of sinners. Pauldescribes this situation in the following words: “For the message ofthe cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us whoare being saved, it is the power of God” (1 Corinthians 1:18).On the other hand, a spiritual person lives in close communion163
