Einstein's Mass- Energy Equivalence showed us how matter could come from energy and energy could be derived from matter. A concept we use today in nuclear power plants, where the break down of atoms leads to the formation of smaller atoms and release of a large amount of energy which we utilise for producing electricity.
That's not what this is about, though.
Assuming the World started with the Big Bang, a large amount of energy was converted into atoms which were set in motion by the initial force of the Big Bang. Physics tells us Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it only gets converted from one form to another; while religions tell us God has always existed and will always exist. Notice the similarity?
So considering no new energy has been formed since the Big Bang, and no one knows where that initial energy came from, the same way no one knows who created God, for me there's enough similarity to for a moment, hypothesise that Energy is God.
In physics, there's another law - Newton's first law of motion- that states that "When viewed in an inertial reference frame, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force". Which means that once the atoms were formed and were set in motion by the initial force, and considering no external force has acted on them (since energy cannot be created in our physical world), that would mean - the energy that propels the universe today is the continuing force from the Big Bang.
Now imagine yourself making a video as you throw ten marbles in a box. Record them till they come to a stand still due to losing energy as friction and heat. Replay the recording but one second after you throw them, you pause the video. Using resolution of vectors, and knowing the initial velocity of the marbles, you could accurately predict exactly how the marbles would interact with each other and how they would interact with the walls of the box, yes? And if you played the video, you'd find that your calculations were right, unless of course, like me, you're bad at math.
If we consider the universe as a whole, considering the marbles to be the atoms created during the Big Bang, and the only force propelling the universe being the force of the Big Bang, and also considering the universe to be frictionless therefore there being no loss of energy through friction, it would be safe to say that how the atoms interacted with each other in the future, was already decided at the time of the creation of the universe.
When matter came into being, a domino effect was initiated where every interaction that was to take place could've been predicted. This means when the first planet would be formed, how long it would take for a solar system to form, when the first RNA would be formed, when the first DNA would be formed, when microbes would be formed...everything was fixed. x number of interaction had to take place before any of these events could've taken place.
We're made of the same atoms as the rest of the galaxy. We're a continuation of the cosmos. We are energy. The same energy undergoing the domino effect right now.
If we consider this alternative to the conventional "God made plans for everything" theory, it would appear that everything that happens, does in fact happen because it has been predestined from the beginning of time. Not because someone wrote out a story for our lives and mystical powers make that story come true; but because we're still being knocked down, one domino at a time, and we're following the path to a greater complexity.
Everything happens because that is the way it is supposed to happen, there was no other way and since energy can neither be created nor destroyed, there is nothing that could change this progression, because no other energy exists.
Perhaps religious scriptures suggest the concept of destiny because it was too difficult to explain the physics behind it to everybody involved and it was easier to come up with a more catchy storyline. But the suggestion was rooted in science.
Think about it.
