Finally! a 'definition' of god that I understand.

YES! THAT IS THE POINT

But, is energy spiritual?
Is it interested in mankind?
Is evolution externally moderated?
In the end? What happens at the end of the universe?
Is it infinite?
What happened before the 'BIG BANG'?

I think you are putting an interpretation on this that was never meant by the original writer.

the Tweet and the replies

What happens to the energy in our brains and cells when we die? Does it discharge to join the vast reservoir of power in the rest of the universe? Is that how our "souls" become one with the mysterious entity called God?

These are questions, not statements. I have no idea of the answers.

My idea of God has nothing to do with protons and neutrons.

I think it's possible that our spirits rejoin God from whence, perhaps, we came. There would be no protons and neutrons involved.

Or, our little lives are simply "rounded with a sleep".

It is not an interpretation of the original writer, Jings. It is thoughts triggered by what the original writer said. Thoughts on an iconoclastic and ingenious definition of God.

Who knows.

Who wants to know? #justyet

"That unknown country from whose bourne no traveller returns". One day we will know, but we can't pass back the information to those who have not left.

Elegran - that energy is electro-chemical, and when the bodily processes stop, and the brain decomposes (which it does rather quickly) it's like A battery dying - it just stops. Our perception of ourselves is resident in our brains - and when they are gone -- nowhere.

Galen - Is energy spiritual? Energy is the capacity to do work - so no, it isn't spiritual...

I disagree.
Energy is not just capacity for work.
Energy can exist on its own
Thought is energy
Heat is energy
Electrons spinning round nuclei are energy
We are mainly empty space
So do we really exist?

Is anyone else totally adrift in this intellectual wilderness?

"I think therefore I am." ? Maybe?

Should have previewed first.Very senior moment.

We all are!
Otherwise there would be no problem!
Cogito, ergo sum.

Elegran Then we shall know, even as we are known.

I am, therefore I think!

I am, therefore I feel.

I was just going to comment but it was 'inane banter' so I won't.

I like inane! It's the secret of life, the universe and everything.

Galen - that is the definition of energy. The other things you mention are - well, who knows, but they are not energy.

The forms are:
Heat
Mechanical work
Kinetic energy
Chemical energy
Electric energy
Magnetic energy
Mechanical work
Kinetic energy
Chemical energy
Electric energy
Magnetic energy
Radiant energy, (the energy of electromagnetic radiation)
Nuclear energy
Elastic energy
Sound energy
Gravitational energy
Mass (E=mc2)

Solipsism rules! Always was rather taken by it..

Oh go on Ella! I reckon you can get away with it now.
