Thermodynamic Weather Systems
Jesus fed 5,000 people with food which materialized out of thin air. The next thing that we read in scripture is about a tempestuous storm which moved across the area. These two phenomena are related.
If Jesus used a form of nucleosynthesis to create food from the energy in his ambient environment then it’s reasonable to assume that the temperature in the region around the miracle dropped. The temperature dropped by enough over a sufficient area to provide the energy necessary to feed 5,000 people.
Predictive Testable Hypothesis 37
- IF the temperature dropped in the region around the 5,000
- AND resulted in the formation of an area of low pressure,
- THEN the next thing we read about should be some really strong winds.
By a totally staggering coincidence, the next thing that happens in the story is a tempestuous storm moves into the area.
It takes quite a few kilo joules of energy to feed 5,000 people, in which case the temperature drop necessary will be inversely proportional to the size of the area affected. A drop in temperature of this kind and over a large enough area would cause an area of low pressure to develop, which would drive other weather effects.

Hypothesis 37
What did Jesus do to five barley loaves and two small fishes that would produce enough food to feed five thousand men? He used the first law of thermodynamics.

Manna Didn’t Come from Moses
Jesus fed 5,000 people with bread and fish which he caused to materialize out of thin air, however, the people think that they need some kind of sign that proves that he’s sent from heaven.
-
Believe in Him
Jesus makes the claim that he’s sent from God and that the work of God is to believe him who has been sent. The people naturally balk, and ask for a sign from Jesus which would confirm his claim.

The Bread from Heaven
Jesus begins his attempt to describe energy transformation with the difference between food that perishes and food that endures. To Jesus, the almighty God, it’s a simple matter of changing the energetic state of matter.

Jesus Walks on the Sea
John Chapter 6 describes Jesus walking on water (v. 16-21) which is described in the other gospels as happening during a tempest. Jesus physically demonstrates his power over matter and energy.

Feeding the 5000
In John Chapter 6 is Jesus demonstrates the conversion of energy from one form to another and he attempts to explain the first law of thermodynamics. He lost many followers in the process.

The Gospel as Physics
It’s possible to write the gospel of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ as a physical formula, but that’s just algebra, can we prove a real-world connection between Physics and the Bible?
