The best thing about Light being God is that this fact would piss off every damn one of you except me and Lestat.

Oh right. A theory about God that doesn't require looking through a giant telescope .... Get back to work!

Leon Lederman wrote a book called the "God Particle", that I see at Barnes and Nobel all the time. Has anyone read this? I was wondering if this sort of thing is what Mr. Sklansky may be refering to. I found this on the net: www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.04/grid.ht
sorry, I can't make this link work. Just google God particle and look at "racing to the God particle"

Clearly, Light is the closest thing to god we know of. Without Light, life would not have been created on this planet. We always use terms to describe "god", those omni ones. But we forget that the current main attribute of god is life-creating. And Light certainly has the most going for it as a "life creator". Maybe water would be second.

Seeing light is a stage in Buddhist meditation.

It is often used as a yardstick of different techniques. As in how long does it take to see light with technique A as opposed to B.

I stumbled upon This link in a thread at skeptic.com. Related to OPs topic in a spiritual way, it makes an interesting read.

Light is something that man will never fully understand, as also God. The things we think we understand are mostly hypothetical theorys, as also God. The only thing different between light and God.... we won't start an argument about whether light exsists or not.

you should see how light works

I can post more if you want
