Rick Perry 'Dislikes' Washington D.C.-Does He Really Mean 'Hates It'?

“I dislike Washington. I think it’s a seedy place. But our country is in trouble and I don’t have the privilege to sit on the sideline and watch our country be destroyed economically by a president who has been conducting an experiment on the American economy for the last two and a half years.”-Rick Perry

I too am concerned about ineffective government and believe Rick Perry would continue the record of preponderantly dumb or crooked presidents since President Reagan.

Rick Perry doesn't think global heating is a serious issue, or a clear and present danger to the United States of America and the rest of the world, and is fundamentally a global warming ostrich. He also has no clue about what ecological economics are. He seems to prefer to find a concrete wall to joust against to stimulate defense spending and arms contracting business while also lowering the national miles per gallon standards to increase oil consumption and drilling.

Maybe treating Washington D.C. like dirt is the problem with some Presidential candidates; they should like democracy and work to maike it function well even assurring that all poor Americans have no-cost health provisions.

Humans In Mars Orbit Could Operate Brainless Robots on Planet Surface

Human beings on Earth could operate human shaped work robots on the Earth's moon without a time signal delay problem, yet for Mars the time signaling delay would make human working of the robot tools (that have no independent operating system) more difficult and less accurate in mining and construction work on Mars. The answer might be to create a human guidance control station on Phobos-a Martian moon as well as in a space-stationary platform over the Martian work area.

Delivering work robots to the moon and Mars would be cheaper than sending humans to create shelters and agricultural laboratories initially. Jobs might be created on Earth operating robot workers on the moon directly as well as on Mars if the several minutes delay can be substantially compensated for.

Science fiction writers have pointed out for generations the dangers of thinking robots. An easy fix to that problem is to make robots completely unthinking and just have a human on Earth or in orbit someplace directly operate each individual robot through its workday. Exploring dangerous to humans solar system planets and moons with human like robots directly operated by a human through wireless control might safely expedite exploration, construction and human habit in vacant spaces on other worlds.

Does God Intervene in History or Presidential Elections?

This question of teleology at a human historical level might be regarded from numerous vantage points. Physical determinism from initial boundary conditions of the Universe would seem to logically follow if the Universe were isolated from anything outside of its expanse. We may have no assurance of that-energy may be added to or taken from the Universe at any time one might think as reasonably as the opposite opinion. The Universe itself may have started proximally as a quantum unit of scale; there is no indication that once begun it must remain so.

Roman 13:1 “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.”-the Apostle Paul writing a letter to the Romans during the reign of Nero. Later, the Roman Emperor Constantine would declare Christianity the State religion of the Empire.

Hebrews 11-3”Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

The Apostle Paul has informed us that politicians are workers of the will of God existing in the world plan, yet Paul has also informed us all of the willingness of God to work in all of our lives. We read in the letter to the Ephesians in chapter two of the nature of human experience in the world;

E2_1”And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2-2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past fulfilling the desires of our flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others."

We may discern in the above passage the possibility that the teleology of the world may have a different, branching course from the teleology of the saved.

E-2-8 “For by grace are we saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; lest any man should boast: it is the gift of God.

E-2-10”For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

E-2-18”For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.”20”And we are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.”

E4-4”There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;5 One Lord, one faith and one baptism,6 One God and Father of all, and through all, and in you all.”

We learn here of challenges to the body politick as well as to the church of Christ…

E12”For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Romans 9-22”What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much long suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory."

St. Matthew 20:25”Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.26 But it shall not be so among you; but whosoever will be great among you shall be your minister; 27 And whosoever shall be chief among you, let him be your servant.”

In history many political leaders have believed themselves divine-some had themselves worshipped and made it a death penalty to fail to do so. Today we feel those people were full of crap and resist that sort of pressure as ridiculous if it ever occurs even a little. Democracy requires good servants and ministers rather than outsourcers of jobs and cronyism in the political leadership class. We find tiresome anyone’s claim to be a gift from God even if he is so because it’s nearly impossible to believe or find credible proof of. Good political works provide good political opinion poll ratings instead of good p.r. propaganda.

Even so we can believe in God and that God acts on history if He likes. Though with omniscience and omnipotence it might be redundant to expect Him to change anything from the way it will be anyway. God’s will was perfect to start. We ask for His help in correcting our environmental and ecospheric use mistakes as well as other free will caused human problems often turning out to be some kind of sin.

Just Jesus Christ was the authorized Son of God, Christians believe. His act in history appearing as mankind’s savior was the only requisite political intervention for true salvation-now we have to discover ways to keep good Christianity from becoming bad politics.

We know that within our human lifetimes and personal experience that the laws of nature seem to flow on at a regular rate with its fine-tuned physical constant values seemingly unchanged. Taxes may vary and government fiscal competence to adapt to challenges may fluctuate leaving citizens stranded in poverty or set on the summit of wealth, and we know that the Bible explains that governments are tools used by God-so in a democracy the faithful should elect the smart, wise, just and beneficial to its high political offices in order to make out voter electorate roles as much in the image of God’s perfect goodness as we can. We must wonder how, given human failings and the selection of bad governments over history even unto the present as not quite a rule but not so exceptional either, God might intervene in human affairs to change government leadership in a right direction that would actualize His purpose for human destiny.

In some way we might expect God to act quantitatively in changing human social personnel and political directions in a way similar to quantum mechanics and the various energy content values of atomic nuclei and of electrons flying around them. It would be easier if we could know that the Creator would only permit so much public debt before governments flew apart or radiated citizens or subjects to new lands, or if revolutions formed in particular phase change relationship protocols that might be quantified. If that were so some people might decide that the immutable or rarely changed laws of the natural universe merely acted upon human government and politics as well as upon atoms and elements. Scientists have sought for large scale order in the universe-and actually discovered super-clusters of galaxies maybe a fifth the size of the observable universe as the largest ordered things in the universe. We tend to believe though that forces like gravity or the lambda dark energy force that may exist are discrete forces quantified in little packets phenomenally rather than having a unified large superstructure in the universe itself. That may or may not be so.

It is difficult to know what the really large scale structures of the universe are when some may be unknown. M-Theory I believe searches for extra dimensional strings and membranes as fundamental quanta in order to extrapolate a theory that explains the phenomena of nature with somewhat traditional notions about what sort of structures exist in it large and small.

Physicists and cosmologists also seem to work on developing theories about the realm of virtual uncertainty. Large scale structures of space, time, energy, mass and dimensions may exist that comprise things-in-themselves that are presently unknown or even unknowable. We see through a glass darkly, and like Moses glimpsing just a reflected fraction of the passing glory of God, some of these structures may be too large, small or just incomprehensible for a human being to encounter.

That is no reason to quit trying to understand the cosmos, the will of God as expressed in the Bible and how or why politicians can make such terrible economic conditions sometimes. The ways God acts upon history might be known as it is His will to disclose any finite portion of any infinite sequence-probably a little of that goes a long way. The 1968 U.S. Presidential race is a case in point to study profitably.

There were several good candidates in the 1968 Presidential primaries, two of whom were shot with one dying in Los Angeles. The nation’s youth were restive and protesting by the millions a war in Vietnam that had gone on for nearly a decade. Black Americans unhappy with the pace of economic and social change were burning ghettos in Detroit and Los Angeles. President Lyndon Johnson decided not to run for re-election and would die not long in the future.

The causes for the war in Vietnam have been written about much. It would be challenging to blame god for the war instead of human political activity. I will leave it at that for now, since the larger concept of politicization of teleology could be generalized to just be correction from original sin in a space-time phase shift that made human beings mortal and of finite intellectual capacity.

The probable winner of the 1968 Democratic Presidential nomination was the charismatic Robert F. Kennedy. The likely independent party nominee was Governor George Wallace. Each would have run against Richard M. Nixon. Kennedy was the easy winner in that contest if it had happened.

Yet with J.F.K. dead and Wallace critically injured and crippled for life, and with the 1968 Democratic Party convention in Chicago besieged by a virtual riot outside in the streets by agitated youth against the war the comparatively calm, rational republican candidate seemed the very reasonable conservative choice. A fairly good Democratic candidate-Vice President Hubert Horatio Humphrey-the Happy Warrior-might have run well against Nixon and won the 1968 general election if not for the spectacle of the Democratic riot in Chicago. It is a little ironic that so many agitated Nixon haters helped elect Nixon indirectly to the Presidency in 1968.

Is it in such political mass confusion that one might discover the will of God to direct mankind’s political course through history on occasion? Certainly no political script-writing crew of 99 monkeys given several million years would have produced such an improbable election outcome.

President Nixon accomplished détente with the Soviet Union setting the stage for a future Gorbachev administration in part. Even President Vladimir Putin was liked by Yuri Andropov back in the day. Nixon accomplished the initial rapprochement with Red China that has continued to the present, and withdrew U.S. combat forces from Vietnam during his first administration-then he left office with the Watergate scandal and disappeared from the world political stage as America had Dick Nixon to kick around just one more time.

Some people would perhaps credit natural selection, or Darwinian evolution with the 1968 Presidential race. They might prefer to speculate that political change is not optimized in a dialectical progression of the dumb side versus the corrupt, but that no progress happens at all that isn’t incidental aggregation of structure in a discrete context. They would not deign to credit God with intervening at all to make course corrections now and then to save the human race from itself and its implicit characteristic of being unsafe at any speed even with democratic elections.

Large scale teleological structures may exist with being reducible to discrete, quantifiable units of measurement. I do not have any sort of certainty of what the actual course of God is for any election today. I believe that the electorate shouldn’t be reduced to drawing lots between bad candidates though as if one might discern God’s will in that process. The U.S.A. probably needs to do its homework well and elect high quality candidates and then thank God for the grace to do so.

Observations on ‘The Return’ of Russia & Additional Economic/Political Topics

Macro-economics is one area where the acute observer may learn much of human social behavior, for all have interest in economic matters of necessity. ‘The Return’ by Daniel Triesman published in 2010 is possible the best academic quality though eminently enjoyable reading history of Russia shortly before and following the end of the Soviet Union until 2010. The Russian stock market ‘rose by more than eighteen times between July 1999 and July 2008’ Dr. Treisman reports. In reading this fine contemporary history we learn why, providing hope that some spark of political whit might begin a new ecospherically beneficial economic recovery in the U.S.A. some day as well.

The economic and political changes of Russia and other member states of the former Soviet Union from 1989 unto 2010 were quite remarkable and changed the history of the world. The way Mikhail Gorbachev allowed his Glasnost and Perestroika policies break up the formerly oppressive communist authority and how Boris Yeltsin signed a decree ending the Soviet Union and establishing the C.I.S. is no more remarkable than the story of Yeltsin and Gaidar’s methods of legalizing private property and private enterprise in addition to privatizing state industry. One can only wish that former President G.W. Bush had been half as bright as Boris Yeltsin in restructuring the oil fields of Iraq following the removal of the Baathist Government from power. Yeltsin created vouchers that let the people own a substantial portion of the Russian oil businesses (though eventually Russian ownership of former Soviet industry concentrated in possession of a few as in many countries of the world today such as Belgium, Greece, Israel, Mexico, Argentina, Australia, Switzerland, Sweden, South Korea and France where even medium sized businesses may have concentrated ownership).

American may be surprised to read that car ownership has tripled in Russia. Russian GDP per worker increased an average 5.5% between 2000 and 2006 while the incomes of the poorest potion of Russians increased 10% per year and that of the richest 12% while some Americans were experiencing long-term unemployment and decreasing prospects of ever finding meaningful work. The United States’ economy has been in an apparent retrograde motion since 2006-7 while the Russian economy has been in recovery thought the U.S. led 2007-2008 world recession wrenched Russia too for a time. ‘The Return’ is an excellent history of Russia’s return to economic well being from the abyss of totalitarianism through self-determination and solid economic liberalism from Gorbachev to Yeltsin, Putin and Medvedev.
Not only are the Chinese and Indian economies improving while America’s is in comparative decline, that of Russia also seems to have a leadership tradition the past 20 years investing with concern in improving prosperity of the people of their own nations.

The United States has several problems that it is unwilling to address that would bring capitalism to work to enrich all citizens including the poor. One problem is philosophical and is based on the popular disdain of a planned economy. Letting capitalism phenomenally evolve without rational government oversight is a kind of actualization of the 18th century ideas of Adam Smith moved to a 21st century context experimentally. Unregulated economic activity in a comparative wilderness obviously requires little or no governance, while in a complex social world more governance and planning is required to prevent environmental disaster amongst other things.

Government planning must exist though not beyond a reasonable and adequate scale to allow the well being of a people. Fundamental planning includes democratic political choices regarding the right of people to own private property instead of allowing all real estate to become owned by one wealthiest capitalist. It should not be a choice between an entirely planned economy and a randomly evolving phenomenal capitalist economy supported by state emergency interventions to keep business and people alive when the private sector allows dead zones to form in the economy.

One might consider the deregulation of home mortgages and their collateralization and packaging for sale in tranches to investors as a phenomena that might inhibit the rational planning of ecologically and economically desirable low cost, zero-loss of biota individual homes or alternately, the construction of large ecologically naturalized two story artificial hills with thousands of condominiums synergized with agriculture; investment planning designed to maximize profit may produce buildings inimical to public ecological concerns, and the tranching financial foundations may negate public and political opportunities to afford ecologically and financially practical housing.

The supply of cheap illegal immigrant labor from Mexico assures a high rate of unemployment of citizens in non-outsourcable physical work jobs, while the supposedly highly skilled jobs that can be outsourced are a diminishing goal to pursue for Unemployed Americans stressed to invest thousands of dollars on education for jobs that won’t really exist later.

There is also the prospect for future globally guided remote computer robot worker developments in business further deleting human workers in the United States. It would be cheaper to train a skilled Chinese or Indian robot operator to control a robot in a factory in the U.S.A. (or several robots) via the Internet to assembly products or do surgery, anesthesia boxes for remote control by distant specialists or special field surgeries in Africa than to pay real Americans to do the work themselves. Even Chinese and India robot operators would do the work for less money per hour.

It seems that high tech boxes with lasers and fingers, cameras and scalpels operated by computer programs and humans with specialized training at a distance could reduce the cost and scarcity of rural medical procedures. Perhaps the dangers of making too smart of robots can be reduced by letting human operators control the brainless machines from a distance even if they are explorers climbing own craters on the moon or the highest Volcanoes of Mars. If extra-planetary exploration can be done by people on Earth controlling robotic machines maybe a stable demographic could have jobs working through the robots mining and developing farms off world for eventually human habitation as well as for export to Earth when needed. Some government planning to coordinate mission and goal parameters should be used I would think.

That is the reason why the idea of national self-interest of citizens to have productive work is a responsibility of a democratic government that the idea of absolute capitalism for itself should not displace or erase entirely. Even if it might be possible for concentrated wealth do create a social structure without need for any humans to work in America-in which grocery store shelves could be restocked by remote controlled computer by a dude in Shanghai, or floors mopped and waxed, bricks piled up to make a home and etc by brainless robots operated by humans paid 2 dollars an hour in Bangalore making new homes in Houston, government needs to find some way that human beings that are citizens can afford a meaningful and productive life in the United States when global capitalism may have no concern whatsoever about anything besides owning everything themselves with or without Americans in America.

Macro-economics today present many challenging concerns moving through the realms of interest to sociologists and environmental scientists as well. Presidential candidates should be competent on global heating and ecospheric biodiversity loss dangers as well as the phenomenality of military behavior of human beings.

China is challenged by the choice of investing in a large conventional blue water navy that has little value except for war. Yet robotic, stealthy, floating, submersible, surface effects torpedo and anti-ship missile launching platforms make conventional shipping of the future far more vulnerable to destruction than in prior eras. Even conventional jet aircraft will be challenged to survive small stealthy air to air robotic mines recharged by solar power. Pilotless air to air anti-aircraft missile platforms will be able to hunt human piloted craft to extinction soon-obviously investing in creating a stable ecosphere with liberty and justice for all humans would be a better investment than in the limited potential enterprise of war robots and small remote controlled on-station anti-ship missile platforms. The human sociological behavior of war making infrastructure moves toward counterproductive economic and environmental status in a world challenging by a Gaia hypothesis decline in need of brilliance to maximize human potential instead of better ways for humanity to run its heads into concrete walls.

It is surprising that Russia has prevalently built up modest budget surpluses and improved the standard of living for its people while the U.S. Government has built up public debt, outsourced jobs, flooded the nation with cheap migrant labor, made the nation less competitive in educational achievements and supported a policy of future American economic decline through lack of intelligence, ambition or knowledge of how to make the economy more productive for the people and the environment. It might be possible to desalinate saltwater and irrigate West Texas farmland with solar powered pumps and evaporation-collection canals-yet why should government be involved in anything creative when food can be imported from Turkey or wherever?

‘The Return’ of Russia to economic health and a free enterprise based environment of social production is something of a secular miracle to many observers of history. Treisman’s book recounts numerous interesting elements of the transformation necessarily founded in history accelerated through the changes of time. The problem of Chechnyan relations to Russia is given more depth than many have encountered reading newspapers or listening to NPR, as is the phenomenal relationship balances of taxation to independence movements and indigenous natural resources.

Russia developed a flat tax rate of 13% after being unable to collect on its progressive tax. Perhaps one of the reasons why the Obama administration is unable to get a better, higher tax rate on the rich is that they can so readily relocate their wealth and production facilities abroad as they are at any rate. Cutting back tax collections to the central government in Moscow (or Washington D.C.) would require local areas to pick up the tab for necessary local services-that is a policy evolution resource rich regions often prefer in order to avoid paying taxes to a central government authority that then redistributes the revenue to poorer regions and non-local special federal projects. Sometimes as progressive tax cuts are eliminated regressive tax increases occur hidden as higher user fees for government services used by the masses. An example might be the cost of a U.S Copyright registration fee that was ten dollars when G.H.W. Bush took office reaching fifty dollars by the time G.W. Bush left the Presidency.

After the breakup of the former Soviet Union and the period during the 1990s of formation of new independent states with various degrees of affiliation to Russia the Kremlin became challenged to keep a central government and state funded while concurrently liberalizing the economy to as egalitarian of privately held form as was possible in the social environment of the time. There is something of a political laboratory nature in the post-soviet state relations that any student of history or social philosophy will find interesting reading.

Gov. Rick Perry: Forerunner of The Dune Messiah?

Speaking out boldly against scientism’s suggestions of anthropogenic global heating, Texas Governor Rick Perry in the midst one of the worst droughts recorded in Texas State history informs us that the Earth is in a cooling period and that he does not believe in global heating theories and will spend nothing to reverse it if elected to the Presidency. The Russian Duma meets in a structure called The White House. A Rick Perry administration might be able to get the U.S. Congress to toe the line against heretical thoughts recognizing global heating from the U.S. White House as forerunner of The Dune Messiah.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost/post/rick-perry-global-warming-and-those-durn-scientists/2011/08/17/gIQAccZoLJ_blog.html

Gaia hypothesis founder James Lovelock believes the U.S. Midwest may become a desert right up to the Canadian border in the years ahead. Yet scientific proof might exist that if one doesn’t believe in nuclear weapons then they aren’t really dangerous, and may not exist. That is a faith based approach a Dune Messiah may bring to the U.S.A. as well as imported oil and foreign wars.

Adapting the anachronism of cold war M.A.D. policy of mutually assured destruction to his Presidential campaign with Misunderestimated Assured Desertification, Governor Perry has brandished his scientific reasoning during the Presidential primaries to lower the prospects of planetary doom through heat death of most life on Earth. Rick Perry is the prototype of next generation political No Leftist Child Behind in U.S. public education that is racing to the bottom of scientific learning and youth educational ladders with Americans finishing in 23rd place out of 50 nations with first or second world public education in the sciences.

Atmospheric parts per million of carbon dioxide and the acidification of the oceans with excess carbonic acid can be alchemized away in a new voodoo based public education curriculum with oil well based faith the right are planning. Cutting taxes on the rich will let America’s middle class and poor become more leveraged by foreign corporations who will charitably buy their relinquished home mortgages and bring more solar photons heat absorbing asphalt parking lots, streets and SUV dealercars to sprawling urbs across the nation.

A Dune Messiah will appear to save a remnant of meek inheritors of Exxon-Mobil stock shares in the righteous promised land of Arctic offshore drilling one day if global heating turns out to be real-no worries. Gov. Rick Perry may be that Dune Messiah unifying religion and politics through the anointing power of crude oil able to lead the oligarchy across the Pecos River to Canada and Baffin Island some day.

Gov. Rick Perry-M. Gorbachev: Political Evolutions Beyond Oiled Cotton

Texas Governor Rick Perry may seem to have little to do with former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, yet they were both southern farmers turning to politics as a way to advance their situation in life.

Rick Perry is from a Texas dry cotton farm. Those Texas cotton farmers don't leave a single shrub on the landscape and use tons of fertilizer and pesticides to make things bloom whenever it rains. They obviously have no need for EPA interference in their effort to make the landscape a completely flat plain awaiting theoretical rain to spring the crops and pay. Politics seems a better choice in many regards.

The other thing beneath the cotton fields and the dry dirt is oil. Oil and the depletion is thus near to God for the cotton farmers. Blue sky, cotton potential, oil and maybe the war industry in San Antonio might help to make the righteous prosperous. Governor Perry if elected President might be able to find work for Americans not indignant about working the cotton patch-the southern oligharchy had a good tradition of employing African immigrants with a near zero unemployment rate.

The United States is reported to finish about 23rd place out of 25 nations in science exams for 12th graders. Russia does better than that even. Its not because Vladimir Putin is a lawyer either; a lawyer President or Prime Minister is no assurance of a nation having its economic house in order.

Like the wild camel wandering in the desert after foreign wealth some may to go too far in politics questing after easy windfall profits. It is often the case that in a good society determined, resoulte effort at constructing new inventions and technological infrastructure cognizant of ecospheric integrity bring not only themselves but a people toward happier times.

Why Evolution and Creation are True

The Universe is said by scientists to be about 13.7 billion years old. It is logically reasonable that God sent His Son Jesus Christ to the Universe and people at a fortuitous space-time moment in its history. An infinite God contacting finite sentient life-forms in a temporal, phenomenal Universe is quite a decent thing to do.

The Earth is about 4.5 billion years old and life on it took all that time to evolve. Humans should respect that moose, mosquito, that elephant and those whales for when they are gone there will not be enough time remaining in the Earth's future to evolve the like new from scratch. The brain size and/or thinking processing speeds may be modest in non-philosophical mammals and bugs, yet they are the best the creation has produced so far. Where the proximal motivating life-force came from for Earth's biospheric origin isn't the point to argue pro-con creation by God-He created the Universe and all things in it though people and circumstance act occasionally to modify aspects of it; people to exist simultaneously in the Universe and ecosphere.

The world has only a scant half billion years to go before the inflation of the sun overheats it so far as to make life here impossible. More efficiently though, human caused global heating may hasten the demise of human life on Earth within a shorter time period of as few as 200 years (ref. James Lovelock's 'The Vanishing Face of Gaia-The Final Warning').

One may be sure that God evolved the world and that words like evolution are embedded in lexical constructions-word sets-that change and mostly reflect human understanding of things. Words and human ideas haven't got a kind of innate Platonic realm-of-forms inerrancy. We may believe that Noah saved representative mammals from local extinction during an era of global warming flood surges over lowlands, that Jonah may have been clubbed and tossed into the dark hold of a ship and then on to a beach believing that he was in the belly of a whale or big fish, that the Saul became the Apostle Paul after encountering the resurrected Jesus several times, and that the Spirit of God moved upon the void-a mystery beyond the understanding even of physicists and philosophers ultimately; how can anything exist-even God-from the very beginning- Our beliefs may be true-corresponding to the historical reality we do not know from experience even though God may be able to produce realities easier than a dreamer produces dreams-and even so the proximal historical facts of evolution may be true as well. God controls all of the constants and variable values of the Universe, all of its space, time, dimensions, virtual particle waves, membranes, certainty and uncertainty from His own Being.

Few Christians know much about the history of how the New Testament was put together. They don't know where John the Baptist grew up, if he had his own cave or not, they might even search the scriptures for references to cosmological construction and mostly find eschatological references instead that could, in light of modern scientific knowledge of physics, refer to future physical changes in the quantum state of the Universe, a phase change will by God to re-infuse baryons into impoverished regions of space-time, or compacted space-time unwinding at a faster rate.

Political evolutionists versus creationists tend to gloss over the rights of individuals to have good government and better personal economic prospects. One may fly a jet airplane with faith, yet if that is all one has and not a pilot's training it is unfair for the passengers should the incompetent pilot with faith somehow get elected to take control somewhere over the Atlantic ocean if there are qualified pilots aboard (there may be no qualified politicians running for the presidency today that could do a good job if elected-maybe a President does need faith then as a kind of kamikaze economic pilot training with belief that tax cuts for the rich will better the prospects of the poor through trickle down and reverse osmosis from China).

Einstein's relativity theories created new ways of regarding time. If time and the entire Universe were compressed into a small area in the beginning, yet its content was entirely provided then, and it took six days up front and 13.7 billion years to unwind so far one encounters an example of the different contexts possible for the interpretation of time literals in the Biblical Genesis story and in cosmology.

For modern cosmology relativity makes time something of a local measured rate of change; the underlying physical constants are thought to have the same values everywhere once the initial values of creation are set, yet locally they may be compacted and arrayed in different forms.

Many Biblical fundamentalists prefer a simple criteria for the time of the Universe and for its construction, while evolutionists prefer more complexity. In a way though the evolutionist-creationist debate itself seems somewhat parochial to those regarding the entire universe and possible universes beyond the observable universe as finite points along an infinite in all directions and dimensions continua spectrum of within relativistic paradigmata. God has many mansions-an infinite capacity to create universes and experience though he may set the values of a particular Universe as constants. Christians know that God has laws and criteria for the Universe that make everyone accountable to His judgement and will. Christians nor those without faith are not exempt from the laws of gravity, the laws of nature, the moral laws or the requirements to act responsibly for the conservation of the world's ecosphere. Christians are not free to pursue riotous liberal quantitative resource consumption and trust that God will pick up the environmental tab.

Christians should know that the Biblical prophets were ordinary people selected to experience ideas from God. They were not rocket scientists, did not put on the star trek high tech helmet of advanced future knowledge learning and wrote down what they should to serve God's will for mankind in the evolution of history. Those prophets acted for their own time and for the future. It is unimaginable that Daniel could have foreseen the knowledge of mankind today nor the context in which his prophecies might be interpreted. Jeremiah and John the Baptist experienced the words of God, yet few prophets, or perhaps none, wrote much about the technical nature of cosmology or the elements of the periodic table and why should they? Did God prefer to have all of human experience fully assembled in a complete state as if it were a manufactured robot?

On the nature of cosmology today mathematical development has allowed a hypothetical digital analog quantification of the content of the visible universe with computers and of the not entirely chaotic evolution of physical particle-waves though its material phases from Time equaled nearly zero to the present and on perhaps into the future until time omega. The entire material structure of mass of the Universe is however superimposed upon a realm of quantum uncertainty that is an ineffable mystery. From the realm of quantum uncertainty it is believed emerged particle-waves that built up sufficiently to let mass exist within space.

The representation of the mass-energy of this universe through human thought is an epistemological relationship of the uncertain nature of mind to the mass-energy of the universe and of the universe for-itself along with it's uncertainty foundation. The Universe and its mass-energy are given a template of mathematical abstract and the relations of the elements of that Universe-set are made to be consistent universally. Any universal representation though fades out at the edges of knowledge and certainty necessarily-from the largest to the smallest making universal and meta-universal cosmologies kinds of contingent phenomenalities; they have validity locally and relatively yet necessarily not transcendently as that would inevitably be a violation of scientific rules of order regarding certainty and probability.

Much of the debate between finite evolution phenomenalists and Christian fundamentalists seem philosophically anachronistic. It is easy to have faith in God will discarding faith in politicians. It is simple to recognize that a bad environment, a poor standard of living, the desire to concentrate wealth or power, the unwillingness to work for the benefit of society are fundamental values of corruption reinforced by disinterpretors of democracy and free enterprise in preference for Chicago mobster style rule. Faith in God does not require corrupt ecospheric destruction, ecospherically deleterious fossil fuel automobile use or the destruction of the world biosphere-nor does economic health or the future of life on Earth better its prospects through the perversion of moral values. Mankind cannot improve its world situation by destroying moral reason or destroying ecospheric and social prosperity behind the excuse of theological dispensation.

The inability to make the world a better place right away is the result of political stupidity-the square peg and round hole syndrome. Political dogmatism is a lot cheaper than creative, inventive intelligence. The United States has a stagnant transportation and housing infrastructure mal-designed for environmental conservation or afforability and a number of other issues not to difficult to solve with better politicians and more faith in God and mankind's ability to adapt to a challenging planetary environment while keeping moral integrity of all individuals together. One might wonder why no economists of faith are running for the Presidential job-it pays more than dishwashing.
