There are a few parting ideas I’d like to share.

Absolute measures.
This appeals to me because it runs counter to the current philosophical bias in which everything is relative. While relative measures are how we as mortals experience the Universe, it is a limited and incomplete perspective. From an “Eye of God” perspective, which requires looking outside of ourselves, the universe is conformant to a simple geometric order. This order is not revealed using relative measures.

More to life
The model proposes that our observable universe is moving in an unobserved dimension. These unseen relationships are also responsible for establishing fundamental properties that exist in our universe. There is more to the universe than what we can see.

The Edge of the Universe
The proposed model offers a limited but meaningful description of the edge of the universe. Since the expansion occurs everywhere, within and around every location, the edge of the universe is not some far off distant place, but within everything everywhere. We are expanding into an unseen space. We are at the edge of an expanding universe right now.

A Snowflake universe
A growing snowflake is a simple model that correlates to the proposed model. The expansion of space-time is like the overall expansion of a snowflake. Just as a snowflake is confined to a basic dimensional shape, so to is the universe. Just as there are dimensional patterns that are “constant” in a snowflake, so too are the constants of physics. Just as there are repeating relationships found within a snowflake, so to are there repeating relationships found in the universe. Just as a snowflake grows by its expansion a small piece at a time, so to does the universe. Just as a snowflake expands by building structure upon existing structure, so to does our universe. Just as change is observed at the edge of a snowflake, we experience change at the edge of space within. The universe is like an expanding snowflake with every location at the perceived center of an expanding universe.

Belief
Belief is an opinion based on faith. There is no rigid scientific proof that can be applied to a faith, but faith and science share a common test. The guiding rule is that whatever makes life easer to explain or live by, is the rule by which a faith is justified. For some, the belief in the existence of a God makes life simpler to understand. For others the belief in a God only complicates things. I have no right to say which belief is right or wrong. It is a matter of where one places their faith.

This apparent divergence talking about belief is made because of the next section.

The conflict of Dogma
Every educated student is taught the conflict that exists between religion and science. The Copernican System removed mankind from the center of the universe and this challenged the ideology of an established and powerful religion. For one group, faith had merged with religion and established dogma. For another group, curiosity had merged with intellectual rigor and by test, observation, and evaluation, science had established its own dogma. The two ideologies were in conflict about the nature of the Universe. Conflict often causes harm. Galileo, who taught the theory that it was the Earth that went around the Sun, challenged the authority and dogma of the Church. He was sentenced to house arrest for the remainder of his life, and no one was allowed to publish anything he had written, or anything he might write.

It can be argued that the injustice of Religion against Science has now turned around, and now religion is suffering under the power and attack of Science. It is difficult for someone of science to state what they believe, or how they feel about what they observe if it has any mention of God. It is difficult for someone of faith to say what they believe if they can not justify their beliefs based upon the dogma of science. The real injustice Galileo suffered was the oppression denying him his freedom to think and believe as he wished with out reprisal. It is hoped that respect and not dogma is the basis for responding to each other.

Divine Creation
What follows next is my opinion. It is not a fact. It is equally valid to argue that the order described is entirely by chance. In fact, it could be argued that any other order would fail and would not exist. Chose what ever makes life easier to live.

The universe conforms to an order that is, from my perspective, divine. Everything in the universe, throughout the entire universe, from the beginning of time to the end of time, for all time, is centrally located in an expanding universe. Even the chaotic realm of chance occurrences observed on the quantum scale of observation settles upon and conforms to existing structure. It is my heart felt belief that this is an order that defies chance, it is evidence of creation; and if there is creation, there must be a creator.
