Whether you believe in God or not, you have to accept that some uncreated entity, beyond our physical universe, acted to the origin of our universe over 13.6 billion years ago. Call it God, the multiverse, or quasicrystals, it is a major unsolved scientific mystery.

During Medieval times Christian theologians accepted the Ptolemaic earth centered Greek view of the universe as an absolute universal truth. Some Christians still think that humans must be at the literal center of God’s creation. 

Even in America today, many Christians avoid learning about new scientific discoveries. According to a study “Religious Understandings of Science”, among members of  non-Christian religions; 42 percent of Jews, and 52 percent of Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus (taken as a group) are twice as interested in new scientific discoveries compared to only 22 percent of Protestant evangelicals.

I do not know why they believe that the rarity of life in our universe proves that God must have created life only on this planet. Perhaps they believed that if intelligent life were found to exist on other planets; it would diminish the miracle of God’s creation of Human Beings. For me the opposite is true.

Mind-bending materials called quasicrystals have an orderly structure, but without a regularly repeating pattern. They’ve been found in meteorites, and in the debris from the first atomic bomb test. Scientists have now discovered that quasicrystals can theoretically inhabit an even stranger realm: spacetime, the blended mixture of time and space of Einstein’s special theory of relativity.

Instead of existing in two or three spatial dimensions, these quasicrystals’ structures can bridge space and time, physicists report in a paper submitted January 12, 2026 to arXiv.org. Although the quasicrystals are now theoretical, the researchers suggest that such spacetime quasicrystals can appear in nature, perhaps even underlying the structure of the universe.

“Surely your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six periods of time…” (7:54), and “We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in six days…” (50:38).

At first there was nothing: no energy or matter, no change or time, no life, no love, no evolution, no light or darkness, no growth and decay, no music, no relationships; no feelings, no thoughts nothing at all: except the One of potentials; and then in a split microsecond the potentials for a whole universe existed. 

At the beginning of the creation of our universe there were zero atoms of matter; only subatomic........
