God, Energy and Matter

[Lek]

How have you made this connection? I understand that matter cannot be created or destroyed, so far as we know, but where did you make the connection from this concept to god?

My connection is that we think of God as being eternal - always existed and always will. I look into science and discover that energy and matter can not be created or destroyed, giving it an eternal quality which it shares with God. Pantheists believe that the universe is God. In this case matter would be God, and energy could be viewed as his creative force and what keeps the universe in existence.

Once again, where are you making this connection? Where are you getting the information that god shares these qualities with energy?

I think I answered this above. It was my own musing. I was coming with an example in which faith and nature were in agreement and soliciting comments.

Are you claiming that god is a conscious being that takes the form of energy? So is energy conscious? Or is this just another way of saying, "the closest thing there is to a god is energy itself."

i'm thinking that, if the pantheist view is correct, then God is energy and he is the effects of energy. Like God, the universe is eternal in it's purest form. Therefore are God and the universe one in the same? I make the possible connection because I'm a theist.
