To me the most unbelievable thing scientifically was the transporter. It seems to me if they could unscramble you into atoms then reassemble them, then they could make just about anything with the same technology.
I suppose a case could be made that magnetism is Love. The Bible says “God is love” and I think God is what holds the universe together.
Those who dabble on the far end of quantum physics, like Peter Wolf, claim love behaves like a photon, and multiplies itself. Hate, on the other hand, is anti-matter. It destroys, and becomes a black hole.
Yep, an all purpose transporter would also be an all purpose object synthesizer, in principle. Driving it with sufficient information to synthesize that pretty date you wanted, rather than some rubber doll, might be tricky. Think petabytes or more....
John’s statement that God is love gets deep into the concept that Christians commonly call the trinity, the 3-part nature of a God that exists independently of the universe we know. There is a Son and a Father who can express love towards one another, and a Spirit who acts as a kind of messenger or intermediary, all rolled up into a single omnipotent deity (not the distinct multiple deities of pantheistic systems). Things that God creates (magnetism, etc.) can reflect or illlustrate this love, but they aren’t the same thing as that love.
