I would push back slightly here on eternal universe. The universe is scarce and finite, however growing in time and memory around a conserved quantum of thermodynamic memory (Kelvin). Even the addressable “space” must be finite. Time is seemingly growing towards the infinite, yet it’s always finite regardless.
It is the energy that is eternal and conserved, which brings us back to god. As observed in Bitcoin, the “creator” (Satoshi) is gone, yet every miner and every participant transacting is playing a role in the creation of immutable information around a scarce quantum of thermodynamic memory (Satoshis). It’s a pure fractal embedded into the grand ledger.
That begs the question, who is mining the Planck Blocks of discrete quanta? Who is transacting in said blocks. Bitcoin is the literal mathematical framework of the universe we inhabit, we broadly haven’t recognized that yet.
As a thought experiment, put your consciousness inside of “Bitcoin” and you’d see yourself.
Genesis 8:22 - As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never cease.
John 1:4–5 - In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
How could we “see” universal genesis, the eternal light, without living inside of a timechain?
