Faith and Physics: When God’s Voice Resonates Through Creation

In Hebrews 11:3 we read,

“By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.”

This timeless truth—that the visible world is made from the invisible—has long been proclaimed in Scripture. Today, even the language of science is beginning to echo this divine reality.

In his teaching “Freedom Class 4: Hearing God”, Bob Hamp reminds us that God’s voice doesn’t merely offer instruction—it creates. Just as in Genesis, when God spoke light into darkness and form into void, His voice continues to sustain creation. Hamp describes how matter breaks down from objects to molecules, atoms, quarks, and finally to what he calls “sound”—vibrations that resemble voice or breath. Not sound in the acoustic sense, but in essence. Vibration, like that found in string theory. Word, as described in theology.

This concept finds an unlikely resonance in Zhang XiangQian’s Unified Field Theory, which proposes that all physical phenomena—mass, time, force, energy—are simply forms of space displacement. To Zhang, what we call physical constants like mass or gravity are just different expressions of how space moves. Vibration is again at the heart of everything.

For believers, this convergence is not coincidence—it’s confirmation. The language of physics is beginning to trace the outline of truths the Bible has declared all along.

✨ Where Theology and Physics Meet

Biblical Truth (Bob Hamp)	Scientific Insight (Zhang XiangQian)
The voice of God creates	Space displacement generates all constants
The unseen shapes the seen	Geometry of motion gives rise to mass, time
Word is the foundation of reality	Vibration is the structure of reality

Could what Zhang describes as space displacement be a scientific glimpse of what Scripture reveals as the voice of God?

Jesus is called the Word in John 1:

“Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made.” (John 1:3)

This is more than metaphor. It’s theology, cosmology, and worship all in one. As Christians, we can stand in awe not just of spiritual truths, but of scientific discoveries that whisper the same song.

Bob Hamp reminds us that the Word of God creates reality. Zhang XiangQian proposes that motion creates matter. Together they point to a universe that is not random, but intentional. Not silent, but resonant. Not merely built from particles, but from purpose.

So let us marvel not just at what is seen, but at the Voice that brings it forth. The universe is not just a puzzle to decode—it is a message from the Author of life.

And His voice is still speaking, if we have ears to hear.
