To clarify, this stage of my presentation doesn't seem to yet propose the constant existence of God, but rather the apparent constancy of existence in reality.
Three distinct, yet apparently related findings of science seem to be The Law Of Conservation Of Energy (TLOCOE), Energy/Mass Equivalence (E=mc2), and The Law Of Conservation Of Mass (TLOCOM).
TLOCOE seems to suggest that, in a closed system, energy isn't created or destroyed, but is transformed from one form to another. As a result, the amount of energy in a closed system seems to remain constant.
A closed system seems to be a system that exchanges nothing of relevant significance with an external system. For example, apparently, a closed system of air would leak no air into or out of the system.
E=mc2 seems to suggest that mass is made up of energy.
TLOCOM seems to be the logical implication of TLOCOE and E=mc2, and seems to suggest that, in a closed systems, mass isn't created or destroyed, but the energy that comprises it changes form. Apparently, as a result, the amount of mass in a closed system remains constant.
To me, all of reality seems most logically considered to constitute a closed system, since, to the extent that "all of reality" refers to "all that exists", there seem to logically exist no external system with which to exchange anything.
As a result, "all of reality" seems to be comprised of at least energy that continues to exist between formations and transformations of mass. This continued existence seems reasonably suggested to constitute constant existence. Might you agree?
