Every day, we wash in water, drink water, cook with water, and hundreds of other activities with it. No one ignores the crucial role of water in life, and that it is called life’s liquid in crossword puzzles. Water exists in all 3 forms (gas, liquid, solid), and its characteristic is the basis for defining the Goldilocks zone around a star: that area around a star where it is not too hot to make water evaporate, nor too cold to have it freeze, but just the right temperature to have liquid water flow; Thus giving life a supporting chance. Furthermore, as you probably know, water (H2O) is constituted of 2 elements: Hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O).
Now, Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe (75% of the mass of the observable matter), and was formed shortly after Big Bang. Oxygen, on the other hand, is a later stage element, formed initially, in minute amounts, through the fusion of atoms and electrons during star explosions (cosmically produced Oxygen constitutes less that 1% of the mass of the observable matter). On Earth, however, Oxygen is abundant and was certainly formed about 2.5 billion years ago through Photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is a cool process, using sunlight, water, and that naughty CO2 to produce life enhancing products such as sugar (energy and growth) and Oxygen (life). But we will leave this for a later time, and will stop at this explanation for the time-being.
Once we become conscious of this, we realize that water is the compound－or molecule, if you would prefer－that links our 2 singularities: Big Bang and Life. Hydrogen would not have existed if Big Bang had not fused quarks into protons and neutrons and created electrons, and then cooling down had not fused protons and neutrons to create nuclei, and finally, forced the trapping of electrons by nuclei to create the atoms, in particular Hydrogen and to a lesser extent Helium. This way we got 98% of our observable matter in the early stage of the universe, the rest coming as we mentioned, through star explosion-induced fusions.
The real Oxygen on Earth (and possibly other exo-planets), however, was created through Photosynthesis (89% of Earth’s atmosphere is composed of Oxygen), which requires some form of life (bacteria, algae, plant).
We then see the essence of water, and how the two elemental symbols of our 2 singularities (H for Big Bang, and O for Life) have combined to make it happen. Consequently, it would be natural for our theology of Dual Cosmic Singularity (DCS) to consider it an essential part of its belief, thus the definition of Goldilocks with respect to water’s liquid form. In the end, this is not much different from Christianity’s ‘Holy Water’. The major difference between DCS’ water and the Holy water is that our water does not turn into wine.
