yes, big bang is not a very apt description, for as yet, i have yet to observe harmony

abundant in dynamic energy, and as we know, the universe and the matter in it is pure
energy. Is it not the case?

However, if you haven't observed harmony from an explosion, you haven't listened to the sound of a racing car. There was an episode of Top Gear where they made the theme song using only the sounds of engines.

Simple and pretty satisfying. So if for example, thinkers in Biblical times theorized a one-substance ontology for non-living matter, two for non-human life (animated matter), and three for humans (animated matter with a transcendent aspect) your answer would fit. If they thought we are in God's image, then we would be similar to God in this respect. The conc ...[text shortened]... uld be body, soul, spirit, or it could be body, mind, soul, depending how people use the terms.

If I came down too hard on you I ask for your forgiveness. I tried to erase the retort but it was too late.
So I am sorry I told you to go rot in your sins. I retract that and ask you to forgive the retort.
"The Spirit of Christ" by Andrew Murray is a very good book if you want to get beyond Internet "chat level" to some in depth appreciation for the topic of the Holy Spirit.

am no longer excommunicated, actually i loath top gear, its the most utterly boring
program on tv, just some old guys slavering over cars, I cannot watch it even for a
moment.

The BIg Bang implies an explosion, which does not seem to
harmonize with the Holy Bible to me. God spoke things into
existence. This implies the use of sound waves but not an
explosion, which destroyes things.

I'm no expert but I've done enough research and reading to believe the BB is the best model. There are issues with it as with any model but it best fits what we know about the universe so far. Do you have a better model? Sure you can say God did it and that is it but there is no sin in trying to understand the hows. Oh and it was the expansion of everything in the universe Time / Space / Matter ect
You say that like you know.

The "law of threes" is a universal idea. It has been passed from culture to cultre many times I suspect.
