God's Minerals
If you are not Living in God’s Light, you are existing in the devil’s shadow. You are living in a Spiritual Darkness.
For most of mankind people were living in a physical darkness. Even though God put electricity here for us to use, we didn’t have the knowledge to use it. And isn’t it really magical what we can do with electricity?
We can talk or send an image to someone halfway around the world in a second. And we can not only hear their voices but see them. And when you consider all the people that are doing the same thing, throughout the world, at the same time, it’s a Miracle.
Did mother nature give us electricity, or Almighty God? Or did we just get lucky?
And look at when water evaporates. Sometimes the water is in filthy places, and yet it comes back down clean. Did mother nature give us clean water or Almighty God? Was it mother nature that was looking out for us or a Loving God? And don’t give me this nonsense that the evaporated water was able to get evaporated without other particles. Tiny particles, such as dust or chemical pollutants, can still find their way up into the sky. In fact, raindrops form around small pieces of dust in the clouds, and polluting "acid rain" can contain chemicals from burning fossil fuels. Fortunately, this is not a big problem. Did we just get lucky again?
Electronic Components:
Electronics utilizes a wide range of components like resistors, capacitors, transistors, and integrated circuits to control and manipulate electrical signals.
Systems and Devices:
These components are used to build electronic systems and devices, such as computers, smartphones, televisions, and industrial equipment.
Microelectronics:
The development of microelectronics, particularly integrated circuits, has revolutionized the electronics industry, enabling miniaturization, digitization, and intelligence in electronic products.
Without electricity, none of this would be possible.
Electricity Networks:
Copper and aluminum are vital for wiring, transmission lines, and other components of electricity infrastructure.
Without minerals none of this would be possible either.
Mobile Devices and Electronics and Mobile Phones:
Minerals like gallium, indium, and silicon are used in the manufacturing of mobile phones, including displays, electronics, and batteries.
Electronics:
Minerals like beryllium, cerium, and europium are used in various electronic components, including light bulbs, TVs, and lasers.
Aerospace: Minerals like titanium and tungsten are used in aircraft engines and other aerospace components.
Nuclear Power: Minerals like gadolinium and holmium are used in nuclear reactors.
Are we able to make minerals? NO!
Minerals are formed naturally by geological processes. It is not possible to make minerals in the sense of creating them from scratch. Did mother nature know millions of years ago that we would need minerals to help us power an advanced civilization or was it Almighty God? Or did we just get lucky?
Can people manufacture their own minerals or elements like gold, lithium, rare earths, oil, etc. instead of mining?
Manufacturing minerals or elements like gold, lithium, and rare earths is not feasible for several reasons:
1. Natural Formation Processes
Geological Processes: Minerals and elements are formed over millions of years through geological processes such as volcanic activity, sedimentation, and metamorphism. These processes are not replicable in a lab or factory setting.
Did mother nature know this and planned ahead? Or did we just get lucky?
2. Complex Chemistry
Atomic Structure: Elements are defined by their atomic structure, and creating new elements or minerals requires manipulating atomic nuclei, which is not currently feasible with existing technology for most elements.
Is mother nature a chemistry wizard or did we just luck out?
Synthesis Challenges: While some elements can be synthesized (e.g., through nuclear reactions), the energy requirements and costs are prohibitively high. For instance, creating gold from lead would require a particle accelerator and considerable energy.
Did mother nature give us minerals or Almighty God? Was it mother nature looking out for us or a Loving God? Or did we just get lucky?
Can we make something like copper? NO! Copper is found in the earth’s crust.
Copper is vital for wiring, transmission lines, and other components of electricity infrastructure.
Copper is an element, and like all elements, it exists in nature and cannot be synthesized. It's extracted from copper-bearing rocks and minerals (ores) through various chemical and physical processes.
The fact is sometimes copper is more valuable than gold. There are so many things that we use copper for. Copper is a much cheaper option and a better conductor of electricity. Wiring in general predominantly uses copper. Copper has superior electrical and thermal conductivity, and it is more reliable at elevated temperatures than gold. Gold is used in some applications because it doesn’t tarnish, but copper is generally preferred for its conductivity. And let’s not forget silver. It’s the best electrical conductor. Silver, copper and gold are the top three.
Was it mother nature that knew that silver, copper, and gold were the top three electrical conductors, and that’s why she put them here, or Almighty God? Or did we just get lucky?
Are we able to make minerals? NO! There are over 5800 minerals, and there is a study that suggests that there might be 10,000. And I have a feeling that one day, a much more advanced civilization will utilize those minerals to better mankind. Just like a more advanced civilization - Today’s - is utilizing electricity and minerals to better mankind.
Without these minerals could we still use electricity?
No, it's not possible to generate or use electricity without relying on minerals and metals, even for renewable energy sources. Minerals are crucial for building the infrastructure necessary to harness and utilize electricity from various sources, including solar, wind, and even nuclear power.
It was Almighty God that put all these minerals here for us to use, and so many more that I haven’t even mentioned. And to believe otherwise is foolish.
Almighty God Knew in Advance that we would need these minerals for us to better mankind. For us to have an advanced civilization. Without these minerals that would be impossible. Without electricity that would be impossible.
The next time you turn on your television set, realize that without electricity and minerals it won't work. One without the other is useless. Again, one without the other is useless.
Did mother nature know that or Almighty God? Or did we just get lucky?
By the way, Television sets utilize a variety of minerals. Some key examples include copper for wiring and connectors, gold for connector contacts, and silica sand for the glass screen. Additionally, rare earth elements are used in the phosphor coating to improve brightness, and aluminum is used in the electron guns. Other minerals like tin, lead, and indium also play a role in different components of the TV.
If we didn't have the aforementioned minerals, could we still watch TV? No!
Are we able to make minerals? NO!
People watch too much TV anyway. Can we make a computer? No! Can we make a cell phone? No! But my son outsmarted me on that one. He made a phone using two paper cups and attached a string. Anyway, when you start to think about what would happen if something was missing … It makes it even more Amazing. For instance: Would life on Earth be possible without rocks?
No! The rocks are essential to many processes that allow life on Earth to exist, such as the water cycle, the carbon cycle, and the rock cycle. They also contain fossil fuels (oil and gas) that are critical for global energy supply.
I could go on and on and on, but I would wind up writing a book. And most of this stuff you can learn on your own anyway. And we haven’t even touched upon our atmosphere and how meteors burn up before reaching the earth’s surface. Can you imagine what would happen if they didn’t?
The atmosphere protects us in several ways:
Provides oxygen for breathing.
Shields us from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun.
Traps heat to keep the planet warm.
Prevents extreme temperature differences between day and night.
Thank-you Almighty God for the Electricity and Minerals and Everything else. And for those of you who still think that mother nature gave us all this or that we just lucked out … you have my Sympathy.
Romans 1:20 “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”
