Fictional universe

I have been born 3 times. The first time was 13.8 billion years ago, when the universe began to exist. The second time was on November 24, 1997, when my mother brought her second child into the world. The third time I was born, and the time most relevant to this discussion, was on a sweaty afternoon in Sophomore year when a girl asked me for bus money, and I decided it was time I learned to accept the first two. So here I am, made up of atoms that are 13.8 billion years old, a body almost 19…

The creation of the universe, a vast and controversial subject of origins, is constantly debated, twisted, and altered to reach a point of what some would say, an understanding. Everyone has thought about questions of origin, and this debate is no stranger to conversation between people. The question of origins can arise in any area of study. In the study of chemistry one would wonder, where these elements originated. In more political science studies, specifically government, one would wonder…

Is the universe barren or teeming with life? The observable universe; the part of the universe from where the light has had time to travel to earth is approximately 90 billion light years in diameter. There are 20 billion sun-like stars in just our Milky Way galaxy and recently we learned that planets are much more common than we thought. Those are the planets which are situated within the goldilocks zone of its home star, where the temperature is just right for water to remain in liquid state…

the area has just been subject to the Aleratherion and Kel 'Shal 'Ma of his entire species in their fully united majesty. Strangely enough, the origins of this cannot be determined. It is as though the presence is being dissipated across the entire universe with the faint and distinct traces of a Promigene muddled into the mix of this foreboding and incredibly powerful presence. Such a presence puts even Lutessa on edge as she calms the masses with public announcements dismissing worries of an…

It is in relation with the eternity of God. However the notion of time in Abrahamic tradition is linear that there is a clear beginning and the end of things. For example, there is a clear beginning of the universe, which is when God created it. Also there is a clear end of the world, which is the afterlife, when every humans will face the judgement of the God. This linear notion of time that things are always in progress leaving from the beginning and heading…

(Heavens do not include God’s dwelling place, but rather the sky and the atmosphere). The expression “the heavens and the earth” indicates the totality of the universe. God created an orderly, and very good universe. Verse two tells us the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. The power of God demonstrates His ability to bring order out of chaos by taking the formless and void and creating form and…

Astrology includes several areas of foresight which are based on the principle that there is a relationship between astronomical occurrence and events around the world. Astrology is generally compatible with Islam as it deals with the relative influence of the sun and moon on earth and studying personality traits. However there are a few aspects in astrology that do not reconcile with Islamic teachings such as the influence of the heavenly bodies on humans and prediction of future events.…

The world was created by who? Science, God or its self? All these questions are asked everyday by people who do not want to believe there is a magnificent being up in heaven. I would not say I never thought exactly like the way these people think but because of my encounter with the God, I am able to believe there is a supreme being. According to the biblical view, God is the creator of all things here and is to come. The animals, tress, sunlight, darkness, and most importantly humans. (Genesis…

The name of my futuristic society is Saeada(سعادة) which means happiness in Arabic. I chose this name because to me happiness is something that I feel a lot of people are missing in their lives. I specifically chose the word Happiness in Arabic because I believe Arabic is an extremely beautiful language. Saeada is located on a planet called Sarnus; a planet that’s a combination of Earth and Venus. It is extremely hot like Venus with the massive amounts of water and greenery like Earth. All of…

Limbo I am an error in the source code of the universe. I shouldn’t exist, because I was never born. That was my fault. That’s why I’m still anywhere at all. Remove me from the equation, and I’m still part of it. Keep me, and I’m not. Paradox. So far as I can tell, the universe has decided that I’m someone else’s problem. The problem with that is that, it being the universe, by definition there’s no one else. So I’m stuck in some sort of temporal-spatial limbo. That’s my theory, anyway. There…
