Before I start this article, I want to clarify for anyone reading this, that I in no way accept any of the New Age concepts or gnostic ideas regarding the nature of God and existence as we know it. I'd further like to state that science delves into creation while bypassing the ultimate Creator, which I personally see as deception.
In the past two hundred years, amazing discoveries have been made through science, there is no question about that. As amazing as it all is, I'm personally far more interested in the Creator Himself, the one true and living God and Father of our Lord Jesus.
I'm posting this based on a short conversation I had with another steemian yesterday.
Quantum Theory is a theoretical branch of physics that attempts to explain the makeup and behavior of matter at the atomic and subatomic levels.
The theory was introduced in 1900 when a physicist Max Planck presented it to the German Physical Society. Plank developed the "theory" as he sought to discover why radiation changed in color from red, green and blue with a rise in temperature. Before this time, scientists believed or "assumed," that energy existed in the form of a constant electromagnetic wave.
Planck's theory was that energy existed in individual units in the same way that matter does.
Since that time through scientific advances, atoms have become observable through the use of a tunneling microscope, and the individuality or "units," of energy can even be manipulated. This "manipulation," of atoms has since been used in cloning animals.
In 1996, the first animal, a domestic sheep, was cloned using a process called nuclear transfer.
As a Christian, I find it rather interesting that the very first animal chosen to be cloned through genetic manipulation was a sheep.
In this video, the makeup of an atom is explained, and actually demonstrates that the atom itself does not look at all like graphics used today that show how atoms function. The scientist also explains that everything is made up of energy.

Throughout history many have been completely enthralled with the make-up of creation and because of the searchable and discoverable elements. Those who follow along this path worship creation rather than the Creator, who is by far more amazing than creation itself. It is far more important that we know Him and seek His will.
Philosophy is nothing more than theory and science is ever changing. I find it amazing that people are able to believe in the currently accepted aspects of science, while they deny God and call HIM a "theory." Maybe it's just me, but I tend to think that denying God is very closed-minded.
In a recent study, where cardiac-arrest patients were followed for a period of four years, both in the UK and the US, reported that 40% of the patients who were declared "legally dead," for a period of time, described a state of being aware for a period that goes on significantly longer than the time frame that death actually occurs.
LIFE AFTER DEATH: Scientists reveal shock findings from groundbreaking study:
In a large scale study of more than 2,000 people, British boffins confirmed that thoughts DO carry on after the heart stops.
The shock research has also uncovered the most convincing evidence of an out of body experience for a patient declared dead.
It had been believed the brain stopped all activity 30 seconds after the heart had stopped pumping blood around the body, and that with that, awareness ceases too.
However, the study from the University of Southampton shows people still experience awareness for up to three minutes after they had been pronounced dead.

Here is what the Bible tells us about life after death.
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"Hebrews 9:27
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." John 5:24
"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."Matthew 10:28
I know that not many like the above verse, but it's true. People can easily accept the laws of nature which are defined as:
"A regularly occurring or apparently inevitable phenomenon observable in human society."
God is beyond "natural laws," and He does have rules that apply both to His natural creation, and after this life.
Jesus Himself did many things that were beyond the laws of nature He healed the sick, walked on water, raised the dead and even appeared on the other side of a lake instantly without the use of a boat.
Anyone can choose to believe these scriptures or not, but God's word sends out a challenge to every living soul that seek the absolute truth.
"He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together."Colossians 1:17
"But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him." John 4:23
"I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Revelation"1:18
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."Revelation 3:20
