There is nothing wrong with seeing a bigger picture in
science, without fear of being taunted one will be able to see that for example
mathematics has a lot in common with a supreme entity be it God, a spirit or a
powerful mind connecting all of us. Science never says no unless there is
irrefutable proof, we must admit there are things we do not understand about
the universe, about existence, the honest truth we know very little, almost
nothing about existence, yet there are those content in discarding concepts
without any irrefutable proof that those concepts in any form can never exist.
Each new discovery is built on the past, but it takes the
knowledge of the past further forward and our understanding of the past becomes
more vividly clear if we have the time to pay attention. Each new discovery
just as importantly allows us to understand existence in a different light.
The concept of God is about an all knowing entity,
everlasting, everywhere, timeless, a very powerful entity whose mind supposedly
willed existence. Some say this entity is just a mind and somehow we are all
connected to it, who knows. For example when we read from the old testament in
the Christian Bible, from the book of Psalms 147 verse 5 one reads “Great is
our Lord, and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.” This is such a
loaded statement.
This scripture basically means God’s understanding has no
limit. It is talking about knowing everything, the quality of knowing things is
timeless. This is taking timeless as meaning nothing takes time, time has no
effect on that quality. How then is the
quality of knowing timeless? To those familiar with knowledge economics they
would understand that humans too can understand things, and anything you know
is generally timeless. This is so because it does not take time to retrieve what
you know. That is a practical example of the concept of timeless. If an entity
knows everything, it has the quality of all in existence being timeless to its
mind,.
It is always wonderful to connect things to logic, that
is why we have a mind. Though dealing with human beings, knowledge economics
tells us that we have a small quality of timelessness through what we know,
through our minds. If an entity knows everything it has the quality that all is
known to it at a moments thought, it is timeless in every sense.
To have an understanding that has no limit is truly a
huge concept, that entity knows what you are thinking right now, and at another
level not being discussed here it means we humans are part of it, if it can
know our thoughts. As Titus 1 verse 1 says “further the faith of God’s elect
and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness.” How can we have
godliness unless we all already have it.
Many scientists talk of the fact that humans are just a
bundle of atoms and molecules and any idea of a higher entity is just nonsense
make belief stuff for ancient humans to be able to cope with the harsh reality,
that we are masters of our own fault as if there is no prejudice, bigotry,
sexism, racism, tribalism, and other evils, great ability can be denied for
being wrong skin colour, or religion. How then are we completely masters of our
fates as these scientists claim as we are just a bunch of atoms that by chance
ended up creating a mind.
These same scientists claiming everything is by chance acknowledge
that there are patterns that exist in the universe, patterns that occurred by
chance. These same scientists acknowledge that for example human beings follow
a normal distribution and there is a category that the majority always fall in,
distributed in a manner that is somehow predictable. Applying these patterns to
human activity and science is to acknowledge be it one likes it or not that
they believe nature has patterns and human beings adhere to those patterns and
laws, laws that came about by chance, rules that just came from nothing, rules
and laws like gravity, electricity, do not explain the why? Explain the why of
the why when it comes to the laws of existence, if we cannot then we should be
a little more careful in denouncing concepts.
Before we move any further it is important to understand
that if one’s understanding has no limit one will self generate, if one knows
every law of existence, they certainly know how to stay aware forever.
Knowledge economics talks of transdimensional mathematics,
that mathematics behaves differently at every dimension, in particular the
mathematical derivative the rate of change. We know from logic and mathematics
that the rate of change slows down with every increase in spatial dimensions. With
infinite dimensions there is no change, an entity with infinite dimensions or
in a some of infinite dimensions can be anywhere at any time, if one wanted to
be at the furthest part of the universe they would be there at an instance, is
that not an ability described by scriptures of the most powerful entity
imaginable. This is mathematical reality.
When we play a game of snakes and ladders there are rules
we know the origins of these rules, when talking of gravity a law of the
universe, what are the origins of that law, until we can answer those questions
we as humans must be careful of shouting out too much with too little
knowledge.
