An article by Sean Carroll for Discover Magazine introduced, to me, the concept of a universe that has more energy on one side than it does on the other which causes a problem for the big bang theory. He also introduced the circumstance that the initial conditions surrounding this state of being is one of low entropy and prior to the so called big bang. A theory which doesn't really address the initial conditions before the big bang. This caused me to think about my own theory The initial flick.
The existence of God is the state of being where there is no existence of entropy. Yet the initial conditions for our existence is all encompassing. At any given time God can reach out his arm and flick the primordial soup, i.e. space, and set the arrow of time in motion and initiate the conditions of high entropy. As a result the vibrations of space like a wave in the pool of water radiate out and through the water. This would account for the lopsided energy signature because there would be point of creation to all things. Thus a lopsided universe.
The fact that the universe seems, to us, to be expanding and the lopsidedness would account for the initial flick but the variability in the direction of the constellations and the anomalies that are observable would have to be accounted by the discontinuity of the primordial soup which is being animated and aggregated by the vibrations introduced by the big flick.
Thus from the smallest quantum fluctuation i.e. space to the largest structure i.e. the cosmos all things and events along that continuum are revealed and the arrow of time is set in motion.
Does agency exist and am I unique? Could I just a easily not exist as exist because the initial conditions are not predisposed to my existence or am I a quantum fluctuation destined to animate along the continuum in respect to the initial conditions either prescribed or consequential.
The notion that God exists and the evidence of faith leads me to wonder if my decision to stomp on an ant or not is agency or destiny. You can't honestly tell. The very fact that we occupy in an existence where entropy is high is the apparent default condition makes me question the scientific notion because the circumstances are toward desegregation not aggregation. The idea that we exist in a high entropy state situated in a low entropy environment causes me to consider God. I just lack the faith to know of his existence so I ponder the options in my feeble limited way.

Arrow of Time
The arrow of time postulates that the past can never meet the future. So how does God exist in a state of being where he can meet himself coming and going and where he knows the answer before the question is raised.
The problem with that existence is that you can't go anywhere you haven't already been and you can't think something you haven't already thought.
I suppose that he amuses himself by shooting arrows of time into or through his low or not existent state of entropy to create high states of entropy allowing to happen what already has happened. i.e instant replays and state-of-being for creatures like myself.

The Chicken
While watching a report about a chicken farm and the production of eggs the reporter asked the farmer, in a smug and condescending manner, which came first? Not really expecting an intelligent answer the reporter held the microphone up to the farmer. Without hesitating the Farmer replied, "If you believe in God the chicken, if your a scientist the egg."
I think the wisdom of that answer is that moment of creation of everything is unprovable scientifically. The scientistic perspective is limited by both time and intellect. Everything that exits today existed before man and no man is smart enough to figure it out in spite of his egotistic attitude or his willingness to discount the existence of God.
Even the so called big bang had to occur in space and time or have an initial conditions in which to come into existence which means that there was something here before it.

Expressway
The unintended consequences of government's usurping of its citizen's responsibility for health care, retirement, unemployment, welfare, child care, education, environmental protection etc... has been an unmitigated disaster. Health care costs are bankrupting everyone involved with its inflated fraudulent costs; retirement has become a bankrupt ponzie scheme spoiling the contrived dreams of the irresponsible; unemployment compensation is exacerbated by enticing the lazy to not seek work; a growing multitude with multiple generations of recipients actually prospering off of the public's dime; expanding numbers of fatherless children being raised by uneducated women destined for more of the same; facilitating the dumbing down of recurring generations of intellectual midgets and incompetent, and uneducated citizens; stepping back from polluted waters, fouled air, and devastated landscapes only to exclude, deny and restrict our citizens, our industries, and our prosperity etc...
If evil is the absence of good, then government is the over abundance of good intentions. If sin is good gone to the extreme then government is the root of sin. If government is a necessary evil and its intentions are only good then the pathway (expressway) to hell is more than paved.

A place in Hell
I can only hope that hell has a special place for politicians and in that place there is and excruciatingly painful place reserved for those that callously spent our great grandchildren's future labor on today's wants.
I understand that some of us are willing to mortgage his or her labor for today's wants so that they can enjoy it now as opposed to later. It is obvious that they don't understand the concept of interest or that they are willing to pay more to have it now as opposed to paying less by saving enough money to pay cash. It is even arguable that paying interest is slightly better than paying rent because of the concept of appreciation.
There is however no justification for paying interest on food or taxing everyone to pay for something like a road, a public building, even a sewer line that only a few will actually use. It is not only not justified but should be criminal to encumber future tax dollars to pay for anything that not everyone will use, that will cost everyone even more to maintain, and will deteriorate and be gone before the following future's future will be able to use it.

Search
Searching for intelligence, wisdom, and common sense has become a chore. There are lots of people posting their opinions, me included. Some people publishing their thoughts and positions have facts and figures to reinforce them. Others no so much, me included. The one thing for certain is that no two people actually think alike. There are obviously like minded people but when it come right down to it the details differ. I suppose that that the realization of intelligence, wisdom, and common sense is unique to the observer and relative to the circumstances. So does that mean that there is no absolute truth? and that there is no particular purpose served by existence? Try as I might to find the answers in the scriptures my mind seeks skepticism and try as the world does to indoctrinate my worldly perceptions my mind sees only incomplete understanding and unsubstantiated nonsense.

Awash in Idiots
The world is awash in idiots and too many of them are in government and too many of them are in leadership positions. The financial crisis which the world is being overwhelmed by is entirely the making of the those idiots.
The world is awash in morons who can't, won't take care of themselves and expect others to come to their aid when their irresponsible actions get them into trouble.
With idiots minding the morons the world's population is faced with economic and social collapse because eventually the idiots will print enough money to make it worthless and the morons are going continue to expect something for nothing. The remaining few who are intelligent and responsible will be overcome and decimated and no amount of innovation will overcome the idiocy.
All the rest of us can do is deal with the uncertainty and try to prepare for the pending chaos. And unfortunately when everything resets either step forward or travel the same path yet again.
