And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
(Genesis 1:3) ESV
People think that the theory of relativity is summed up in the equation E=MC2 . The truth is, relativity is an opportunistic rationalization of circumstantial evidence, and E=MC2 specifies a set of conditions which don’t occur anywhere in nature.
That being said, it would seem that there are at least four situations in the Bible in which E=MC2 may actually apply. All of them are divine and miraculous:
- Genesis 1:3 – let there be light
- John 2 – the wedding at Cana
- Matthew 14 – feeding the 5,000
- Matthew 15 – feeding the 4,000
We, that’s me and the Holy spirit, thought that it would be an amusing exercise to see if it would be possible to derive E=MC2 from Genesis 1:3, perhaps by analyzing the meaning of the original Hebrew. The thing is, it’s a lot simpler than that.

Salvation

- believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
- confess your sin.
Hi, Matthew. I mentioned ‘Matty’s Paradigm’ on a post on the Internet website Quora. There is the community of people who do not accept Relativity and the writings of Albert Einstein. There is the Alternative Cosmology Group (ACG), the professional association that does not accept Big Bang theory. You are probably already aware of the Discovery Institute, the Institute for Creation Research (ICR), and Ken Hamm’s Answers In Genesis that oppose Darwin’s Evolution. So, you might think that you are alone in this world. Remember the prophet Elijah. He told GOD that he was alone in the evil northern Kingdom of Israel. GOD replied that He had 500 prophets in a cave who have not bent a knee to Baal. You are a stone in the sling of David. May GOD speed you on your journey and to your destination.
