I recently watched a NOVA show and listened to
the narration by Brian Greene, a physicist. The
show presented the String Theory with the
title, "The Fabric of the Cosmos." The computer
generated graphics were stunning! I was amazed
by the degree of details that were explained by
covering a lot of deep mathematical computations.
I checked Amazon and saw how this DVD series is
available. One of the comments listed on Amazon
stated, "Comprehensive documentary on string
theory for non-physicists" (Sept 11, 2010)
The show related the String Theory to be most like
the strings on a cello, as if a cosmic symphony were
constantly playing at every point in all dimensions
for all of creation that resonates at the heart of all
reality.

The program explained how there are 20 cosmic
components have specific values in their String
settings. As an excerpt to the transcript states:
"You see, our universe is kind of like a finely tuned
machine. Scientists have found that there are about
20 numbers, 20 fundamental constants of nature
that give the universe the characteristics we see
today. These are numbers like how much an electron
weighs, the strength of gravity, the electromagnetic
force and the strong and weak forces. Now, as long
as we set the dials on our universe machine to
precisely the right values for each of these 20
numbers, the machine produces the universe
we know and love. But if we change the numbers
by adjusting the settings on this machine even
a little bit... the consequences are dramatic."

I started to think about the similarity to the way
scriptures reveal the voice of Him who dwells on high.
Psalm 18:13 NASB
The LORD also thundered in the heavens,
And the Most High uttered His voice,
Hailstones and coals of fire.
Psalm 29:3-4 NASB
The voice of the LORD is upon the waters;
The God of glory thunders, The LORD is
over many waters. [v4] The voice of the
LORD is powerful, The voice of the LORD
is majestic.
Hebrews 1:3 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
"... who being the brightness of the glory, and the
impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all
things by the saying of his might -- through himself
having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at
the right hand of the greatness in the highest ... "
These scientists are proposing the String Theory of
the cosmos based on their mathematically derived
computational models.
For me, the power of His Word that upholds all things,
Col 1:16 NLT
"... for through him God created everything in the
heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things
we can see and the things we can't see, such as thrones,
kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.
Everything was created through him and for him."
ps: Wouldn't it be ironic if there ended up a total of
22 fundamental constants that would match the total
number of letter in the Hebrew alphabet.
