Christianity, Evolution and Digital Universes

There are numerous paradigms concerning cosmology, epistemology and belief that transcend others sometimes. If mass is two dimensional massless particles entangled in the Higgs field and space-time is entirely relative embedded in the timeless field hosting the Higgs it is like a holographic Universe hosted in  a virtual reality box. That changes assumptions about evolution and physicality more toward Bishop Berkeley's side. God could create reality in any sort of order in that regard and it would all be true and consistent with the Bible.

Interpreting the Bible and terminology from ancient meanings to modern can lead to misunderstandings. Was Eden near Iraq and was the timeline beginning in the neolithic one that continued from a lost first civilization submerged under the Persian Gulf because of sea level rise withe the end of the Wisconsin Ice Age  Though my ideas about the topic continues to improve with time here is a recent(free) book I wrote on the subject.  https://www.lulu.com/shop/garrison-c-gibson/christianity-evolution-and-digital-universes/ebook/product-wnddgd.html

First Cause Argument and Evolution

If you believe that everything has a cause, such as the universe emerging from a singularity that exploded because of a quantum instability creating a phase change moving toward inflation; the premise is logically valid if instead of infinite regress there is a terminal point at something eternally existing able to issue a first cause for a universe to be and become.

Biological evolution is nothing more than a bracketed portion of the history of the Universe and not relevant in regard to the first cause question.

Diversity of Life Declines

A naturalist I read quite a while ago said that the most successful life forms are those that exist the most time, through disasters and mass extinctions and those are prokaryotes I believe it was. He said that large complex life forms like humans are far more vulnerable and tend to be short lived in the context of time. It's an interesting idea. The meek shall inherit the Earth.

If the Universe is deterministic that is consistent with deterministic evolution following a Hegelian or Designer's schematic, and obviously that is one of a large set of possibilities with a degree of uncertainty. If the future already exists and thought switches to an appropriate universe at each disjunct one should expect an infinite variety of apparent rather than actual evolutionary forms to appear to comprise the right elements for the thought.
