On Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion's Conclusion

David Hume was a great British philosopher yet I must stipulate that his work seems especially dated to me. Some concepts seem wrong or off key so far as they have any claim to scientific accuracy. The Essay Concerning Human Understanding is a kind of epistemological work. The 'copy principle' of mind and perceptions that is used in Human Understanding tends to be the criterion for that on Natural Religion too. In a way it is all kind of social solipsism with impressions drawn from historical circumstance. Some may of course feel that Hume was being a deadpan existential relativist concerning religion. At the end he seems to recognize the irresistible logic for it although he may be doing so while having already disqualified all human knowledge as historical circumstance. In particular per example the problem Hume found with cause and effects was taken badly for generations. That seems an unrealistic way of viewing empirical, material affairs. Newton's third law for example, of action and reaction, easily can represent cause and effect even if there is a proceeding cause of the proximal cause.

Hume's concluding discourse by Philo is apposite to the Christian paradigm that he seldom mentions- the unspoken natural religion he is often speaking of. In fact it is a surprising logical affirmation of certain important Christian theological points. God is unapproachably perfect and good and is offended by sin. Mankind has original sin and could in no way have a relationship with God except through an intermediary acting to renormalize saved elements of humanity to God. That individual is the Lord Jesus Christ. I shall quote the relevant section from chapter twelve pages 248-9; “It is contrary to common sense to entertain apprehensions or terrors upon account of any opinion whatsoever, or to imagine that w e run any risk hereafter by the freest; use of our reason. Such a sentiment implies both an absurdity and an inconsistency. It is an absurdity to believe that the Deity has human passions, and one of the lowest of human passions, a restless appetite for applause. It is an inconsistency to believe, that, since the Deity has this human passion, he has not others also; and in particular, a disregard to the opinions of creatures so much inferior. To know God, says Seneca, is to worship him. All other worship is indeed absurd, superstitious, and even impious. It degrades him to the low condition of mankind, who are delighted with intreaty, solicitation, presents, and flattery. Yet is this impiety the smallest of which superstition is guilty. Commonly, it depresses the Deity or rather indeed endeavour to entertain, suitable notions of his divine perfections: As the only persons, intitled to his compassion and indulgence, would be the philosophical Sceptics, a sect almost equally rare, who, from a natural diffidence of their own capacity, suspend, or endeavour to suspend, all judgment with regard to such sublime and such extraordinary subjects. If the whole of Natural Theology, as some people seem to maintain, resolves itself into one simple, though somewhat ambiguous, at least undefined proposition, That the cause or causes of order in the universe probably bear some remote analogy to human intelligence: If this proposition be not capable of extension, variation, or more particular explication: If it affords no inference that affects human life, or can be the source of any action or forbearance: And if the analogy, imperfect as it is, can be carried no farther than to the human intelligence; and cannot be transferred, with any appearance of probability, to the other qualities of the mind: If this really be the case, what can the most inquisitive, contemplative, and religious man do more than give a plain, philosophical assent to the proposition, as often as it occurs; and believe that the arguments on which it is established, exceed the objections which lie against it? Some astonishment indeed will naturally arise from the greatness of the object; some melancholy from its obscurity; some contempt of human reason. that it can give no solution more satisfactory with regard to so extraordinary and magnificent a question. But believe me, Cleanthes, the most natural sentiment, which a well-disposed mind will feel on this occasion, is a longing desire and expectation, that heaven would be pleased to dissipate, at least alleviate, this profound ignorance, by affording some more particular revelation to mankind, and making discoveries of the nature, attributes, and operations, of the divine object of our faith. A person, seasoned with a just sense of the imperfections of natural reason, will fly to revealed truth with that he can erect a complete system of Theology by the mere help of philosophy, disdains any farther aid, and rejects this adventitious instructor. To be a philosophical Sceptic is, in a man of letters, the first and most essential step towards being a sound, believing Christian; a proposition, which I would willingly recommend to the attention of Pamphilus :”

Hume ended Kant's dogmatic slumber, though I cannot recall what it was Hume wrote that stimulated Kant to think along lines leading to the Critique of Pure Reason. Perhaps it was Hume's propensity for reasoning about things itself, even if not perfectly in key these days. The idea of the prime mover of causality may have been Hume's target in devising his thought leading to the end of causal relations. I would tend to have a modern point of view on the topic myself that would view matter in its quantum context; as emergent elements in a Higgs field as particles containing elements of force. Hilbert spatial representation and physical content bring selected and necessary states of configuration into being. In the steady-state quantum configuration of matter in-the-Universe mass follows thermodynamic principles. Not to labor the point, I believe one need use a fuzzy logic accounting system for attributing causes and effects. High pressure and low pressure, high temperature and low temperature, Boyle's law, equalization of pressure and temperature and allocation of a force follow consistent lines.

Hume wrote in chapter twelve of the Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion that “still it must be acknowledged, that, as terror is the primary principle of religion, it is the passion which always predominates in it, and admits but of short intervals of pleasure.” I don't agree at all that mankind has stimulus-response S/R conditioning and fear of worse in eternity as his primary motives. Knowledge is an end-in-itself that mankind tries to get. A sentient being has just so much that he or she may do; physical and intellectual things running even toward the spiritual. Seeking a knowledge of God for-himself rather than trying to explain away all of human experience and interests as biological activities solely and dismissively are quite opposite activities. The former seeks to enlighten the mind while the latter acts to extinguish thought.

David Hume's approach is one of reason, yet it is revealed knowledge; grace from God, that is the credible reason for belief of Christians,  rather than a posteriori logic.

Mainstream Media; Mostly Foes of the President

It is amazing checking out some of the news pages on the internet such as MSN. The overwhelming majority of the articles are plainly foe points of view concerning the President. CNN seems something like an intifada against the President seeking for new angles to attack by the hour.

The mainstream media is owned by the rich. Corporatists have a very different point of view about national sovereignty, and it is not a democratic (not the party named that) point of view. President Trump generally supports American national interests while the media do not.

Corporatists seek to make collectives of society that are malleable to coercion passively. They have some scientific support as well as that of homosexual leaders. Humanity is regarded as biomass that is over fecund and needs to be trimmed and without self-determination except insofaras it benefits the most rich.

The problem (well one of numerous problems) with rule by the rich is that it is unhuman and promotes the most corrupt values. It is as bad as mindless communist collectivism or crowds of fans at N.B.A. games in urban deserts where all the wildlife is gone and global warming gasses are the primary wild product many don't believe in. Collectivism and corporatism minimize individual rights and try to put the dirty wool sweatshirt over the head of the masses so they may be beaten down and plundered. Individualism is descried as is actual democracy and free expression because that could increase taxes on the most rich.

The democrat party itself is a tool of the most corrupt globalists and Harvard elements. Since the Carter administration it has lost moral bearings. Kennedy, Clinton and Obama destroyed it. Each worked for the downfall of the U.S.A. and strong U.S. nationalism in their own way. In some respects Boston is the root of all evil in the U.S.A.

Does FBI Have Right to Infiltrate Partisan Political Campaigns?

It hadn't occurred to me that the Obama era F.B.I. led by an Obama appointee would infiltrate Donald Trump's Presidential campaign with an informant. If Richard Nixon had thought to send infiltrators into the Democrat National Committee he could have avoided sending crass burglars to the Watergate Hotel.

Of course, if captured the President and F.B.I. Director could disavow any knowledge of the activity. Yet it seems that some believe the victim of an FBI  political spy campaign have no right to self-defense.

Human Social and Intellectual Evolution Are Works In Progress

Knowledge generally is compartmentalized except for some very basic common shared public education and information about certain matters. As great philosophical changes and insights arise those ideas usually are interpreted in ways that run toward extremes without consideration of the need to understand the idea as a discovery that can change or interact with numerous ideas instead of being self standing. Evolution is such an idea.

Evolution was taken to be in conflict with Biblical data. In fact evolution was in conflict with what people had understood the Bible to mean on certain matters in the absence of scientific information that was more accurate and detailed than that provided by non-scientific clergy. In fact the Bible is not in conflict with evolution theory and in many regards is consistent with it. Clergy over history have been heavily involved with politics and political evolution of mankind and human social organization, mostly for the good. Original sin; human nature wrapped up in thermodynamics and the processing of food for energy, procreation and so forth, implicitly renders mankind violent and thoughtless of the rights of others to exist. In plainly evolved nature also known as the wild kingdom anything not kin is just food if its edible.

The kingdom of God is different than that. The kingdom of God entails all of the rights of modern mankind as thinking, civilized beings one could want. There were basic commandment; a decalogue that set forth the right course for mankind differentiated from animals and renormalized to go so long as they could follow all of those rules. Of course mankind could not, for a number of reason. The Old Testament is replete with copious lamentations and complaints of God about the faithlessness and wanderlust of Israel.

Christians too have often some trouble in accepting the facts of evolution and the genomic foundation or etiology of mankind. As biological beings some have a surfeit of pride concerning human ancestry. If 14 million years ago homo erectus was a humble ancestor with innumerable lines that evolved into various later species of hominid that eventually were all killed off except for homo sapiens sapiens, they might think that mankind came from apes, instead of realizing that mankind is today one of five species of primates- apes without tales.

Adam and Eve (adamas means brown dirt and Eve’s initial name was Edith) ate of a cultivated fruit tree. Cultivating fruit trees is a result of a tree of knowledge; a rise of knowledge about how to graft trees with various branches to produce better fruit. When they ate of the apple (only little crab-apple sized fruits without cultivation) they also discovered they were naked and needed clothing. God kicked them out of the garden of Eden where humans as just animals could live the animal life and made them work and bear children. Humanity was ready for social evolution rather than simple animal evolution at that point.

Adam and Eve may have lived in a space-time anomaly without the passage of time; perhaps as pure spirits, or they may have represented a local people that became learned about manufacture and clothing, there are several ways to interpret the ancient literature or Biblical historical account written for people of the era of 2000 B.C. to the present day, yet it is plain that they were sent from a paradise of easy living to labor in the normal Earth. When Cain the blacksmith killed his brother Abel the goat herder, Cain was marked and sent out into the world of pre-existing peoples. He had sons and became established. His may have been the first civilization that was eventually destroyed during the time of Noah.

The lost first human civilization and the flood are amongst the easiest to account for as well as to misunderstand. During the late Pleistocene about 12,000 B.C. sea levels rose. A Mesopotamian civilization near the Persian Gulf behind a river deposition berm might readily have been flooded by a tidal surge, storm and glacial melting flood from the great rivers upstream. Survivors of the flood; Noah and his family might have been deposited on the hills of Ararat or Urartu as it was known before transliteration by Jewish scribes in the first millenium B.C. The borders of ancient Urartu- a vanished kingdom were generally uphill from the Persian Gulf with rather vague boundaries.

 The interpretation of ancient Biblical material in such a way as to more correctly understand its references is a work that requires an interdisciplinary approach with history, linguistic philosophy and Biblical scholarship as well as science; geology biology and astrophysics cannot harm either.

 Anthropology and archeology enable one to discover that human farming did begin about 12,000 B.C. Before that people were hunter gatherers and perhaps animal herders. Cain killed Abel. Settled agricultural cities eliminated the pastoral societies the historian Arnold Toynbee noted. The children of Noah went out in the world and became the founders of nations. They changed the societies they arrived in with the cultural dispersion of knowledge that has evolved human societies forward since, well since Adam and Eve left Eden.

Genesis 10; “1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.”

Giants mentioned in Genesis, of the era were probably a few remaining Neanderthals with a larger body size comparable  in physical development to pro football players amongs clerks. European and Oriental genomes have a small percent of Neanderthal or denisovan components respectively.

It would be interesting to account for the creation account in Genesis. People often find it in conflict with scientific cosmology yet I think it is remarkably accurate myself, considering when it was written and for whom it was given. I wrote a book that is free to download on the topic ;

http://www.lulu.com/shop/garrison-clifford-gibson/god-cosmology-and-nothingness-theory-and-theology-in-a-scientific-era/ebook/product-22947558.html

Cultured atheists are not the only ones that are dismissive of the church. The church is of course different than the Bible. The ideal Christian church before the third coming of Christ (the second was after resurrection) to Earth differs from the actual church on Earth that has a structure most often reflecting that of hierarchical or corporate organizations instead of a priesthood of believers as Martin Luther pointed out. Church structures make pew sitters instead of peer participants out of people, and poorly educated in science, evolution, Bible scholarship and philosophy church leaders have tended to make little fiefdoms of their churches wherein they are petty nobles whom commoners tithe. It is a wrong and inefficient way in an advanced post-industrial society.

So much of the atheism that sends so many people on the road to hell happens in the absence of an inclusive church that welcomes all people as beginners, intermediates and elders to priesthood of believers churches where all share the three levels of roles and where all lead in professing true, non-hypocritical faith. God is true yet evolution is true. God is a personal God who is omnipotent and omniscient yet the world is pre-determined concurrently with humans having free will. Actually one ought to be a scientist as well as a philosopher, historian and theologian with some anthropological training as well to better understand the Bible.

 The final point I will make here is that the end times mentioned in the Bible book of the revelation of John as an apocalyptic event occurred in the first century ad. The destruction of Jerusalem was one of numerous events foretold by the Lord Jesus. He said they would occur before the last of the present generation was dead. They did. He was the greatest prophet as well as the Son of God and an equal member of the trinity. After that the kingdom of God was supposed to increase until most of the people were Christian. There is no particular end date to that besides it being when the age of the gentiles is fulfilled. When humanity can go no farther of its own efforts. When human destiny is fulfilled all will be resurrected for judgement.

EU Chastises Pres Trump With Its Ivory Tusk

The leader of the EU Council Donald Tusk said about President Trump "“Looking at the latest decisions of President Trump, some could think, with friends like that, who needs enemies?”

 Belgium after the first world war took control of what is today's Rwanda and Burundi and administered them so badly that the future problems of those nations, even so far as genocide, were partially formed. Learning from the arrogant dehumanization of Africans in the Belgian Congo, Belgian poilitical authorities took a walk on the dark side of the force- skimming proplits. President Trump is leading America now. Maybe he can recover somethng from Belgium that will help pay off the national debts of Rwanda and Burundi, as improbable as that seems.

It is good that President Trump appears to like his job. Many people would not want to visit Belgium; land of the waffle stomper school of diplomacy, for insults.

Comment On Faster than Light Travel

There is a book named 'Flatterland' that is good non-tech reading about mathematics of dimensions. I prefer the transporter approaches over spaceships. Since all particles and mass are expressed or entangled in the Higgs field, it might be that spatial distances are contingent aspects of that steady state of mass, therefore superposition of particles is a normal Higgs attribute and relocating mass as information to anyplace would not require spatial travel. Instead it would require moving information- reassembled in the steady state as entangled mass. Instead of travelling through space-time the techniques to slip past it hold more interest.

Chicom Nuclear Bomber Threat in Paracel Islands

When the Chinese Air Force landed bombers on an artificially constructed island it demonstrated the lack of will of President Trump to build a wall on the Mexican border, high-speed Internet connections for all Americans, trans-continental trains that move faster than 200 m.p.h. or a moon base. The Trump administration may need to build a U.S. air base in the Paracel Islands to reinforce the Vietnamese and Republic of Taiwan's claims to at least a portion of the region. The United States, Vietnam and Taiwan may want to land their own bombers there one day in case the fishing is good.

Maybe a drone aircraft base would be a good idea. Drones could surveil fishing and smuggling lanes around the clock as well as monitor destruction to critical, endangered marine ecosystems. There may also be a potential for tourism and diving resorts.

The Presidential Ado About Deported MS 13 Immigrants

President Trump does have some misinterpretation of his comments. That really isn't helpful for the polity of the United States when it is intentional.

The President said that some deported immigrants are animals. Apparently he was referring to MS 13 gangsters.  Sen.Nancy Pelosi criticized President Trump and took his meaning as all immigrants are animals. She tweeted; "Immigrants are not ‘animals.’ The president’s statement was deeply offensive and racist. Immigrants are our family and friends, and they make significant contributions to our country,"

Pres Trump Should Postpone Summit Until Kim Jong Loses Weight

The U.S. media treats the President of the U.S. as if he were an uncertain flake with dubious loyalty to capitalism instead of Mother Russia. He is set to meet to talk about nuclear weapons with the nearly obese leader of a nation where people including the military seem to be half-starved. Each are worthy opponents in the match of flakiness. To one-up Kim Jong Un President Trump should cancel or postpone the summit until Dictator-Leader Kim Un loses weight...perhaps 35 pounds although it could be negotiable with careful and methodical diplomacy.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-just-showed-his-cards-on-the-north-korea-nuke-deal

Dictator-Leader Kim has the rare opportunity to lose nuclear weapons and pursue peace and prosperity for his nation as partners with the south. Yet there are many strong, good and inscrutable reasons to keep building up nuclear weapons and sufficient missiles to make enemies all around the world that cannot be easily set aside. The value of pointing nuclear weapons at one's close neighbors and relatives must also be irresistible to the Dictator. He probably gets excellent barbecued ribs and such with exotic oriental food besides. Neither the west nor the south can hope to match the cuisine of the Dictator of the North.

US High Schools Need Competent Security Design

It is amazing to me that such a large part of the public can so often be so wrong about fairly simple issues. It is something like that saying about some of the people being fooled much of the time and in a democracy that has consequences. A school shooting today in Sante Fe Texas could have been prevented with up to date school security, not taking away gun rights. Yet Americans will wail about this and that and school security won't be technically improved. Instead a few more union security guards sitting around will be hired.

Face recognition tech is ubiquitous and can recognize school students and intruders or other unauthorized people on campus. Metal detectors can visualize guns and knives. Retired military can screen students through metal detectors and imaging devices that are as good as the T.S.A. uses. In short there is a surfeit of technology that can be used to make certain that students cannot get weapons into high schools. Why not use that and reduce teacher salaries a little to pay for it?

Israel had a problem with Palestinian terrorists taking school students hostage; once. Maybe the Trump administration should call in some Israeli security consultants.

 The common reaction is to spend copiously on post-shooting counseling, love sessions and so forth as if statistically anomalous student behaviors could be absolutely prevented when the internet, games, movies and television are littered with violence and wacko behaviors rising to super-hero status. Probably it would be possible to rediscover common sense on security in an era where student behaviors are off the deep end as a matter of pride and principle.

http://abc13.com/santa-fe-student-after-shooting-eventually-it-was-going-to-happen-here/3491952/

The kid shooter seems about as normal as anyone can get for an adolescent guy. Honor student, football player; yet with a Greek minority name. Normal is a bit wrong in America these days and the President cannot even secure the southern border much less get high school security able to withstand some less than brilliant weapons smuggling into them.

Windows 10 April Update Forces Tiling

  If there is a greater time waster on the Internet than using Windows I don't know what it is except maybe the Istore app. Windows 10 April 2018 update forces tiling of windows so the screen is more of a mess and a problem to mess with. 

 Windows seems designed to consume time of the user. It doesn't really seem like a tool for adults that want to be productive. Fundamentally an operating system and PC should be as simple and reliable as a power tool rather than acting like some sort of retardant agent product designed by the American psychiatric association as a test of patience and gullibility.

 Tiling windows is an old programming tech that has existed in public domain operating systems forever. Unlike Windows 10, they don't force that tech on the user. 

Russian Crimean Bridge to History Update

 Russia's long history in the Crimea followed that of the decadent Roman Empire and invasions of Huns, Goths and Khazars to the Peninsula that had previously experienced Greek and Roman settlements. In 988 Keivan Rus leader Prince Sviatoslav I captured in and made it part of Rus. Other European entities as well as Mongols have sought to take the Crimea away from Russia ever since.

 Crimea was formerly annexed again by Russia in 1773 following Cossack and other invasions into the decadent Khanates of Muslomified Tartars. Until the end of the Russian Empire in 1917 the Crimean Peninsula remained Russian.

 After the Russian Civil war the Crimea became part of the Soviet Union. The Red Army lost 170,000 soldiers defending Sevastopol in WW II before the Nazi Germans took it, perhaps with some help from Nazi sympathizing Ukrainians. Following the Nazi defeat the Soviet Union retook it an it remained Russian until 1991. In the interregnum following the breakup of the Soviet Union the Yeltsin Government had Ukraine and Crimea filched away by the Bill Clinton administration during the transition C.I.S. phase of the post-soviet Union. Recovering post Soviet Russia took control of the Crimea again during the Putin administration. The new Crimean bridge is a major upgrade in the status of the Peninsula.

The Theological Problem of Evil

Two characters from my book Pieces of Eight discuss the theological problem of evil.

“How can God pre-determine and create a Universe and be consistent with His nature as perfect and without sin or wickedness; sin and wickedness exist in the Universe and hence Multiverse and if they are pre-determined then God has created sin and wickedness too, no?

“I must stipulate a no John. God cannot sin or create wickedness.”

“Yet each exists and the Universe must be predetermined along with the Multiverse if God is to have created it.”

“Hell exists John. And the Lord was crucified. Each were or are at least nominally wicked from my point of view. I don’t mean that the plan of God to allow His Son to be crucified as a substitute for the original sin debt of humanity was wicked; it is just that it was existentially a wicked experience for the Lord; for any human, to go through.”

“Sure Carla; wickedness exists and the Lord God being omni-powerful created not only it- he created everything else; and yet free will exists. For many that is another apparently contradictory point about God. I believe however that the Multiverse and quantum mechanics may account for each, as it also may account for quantum gravity and relativity.”

“How so John?”

“Consider Carla that relativity requires a time dimension to exist as anything besides a static form of space-time composition. If the Universe were entirely pre-determined and pre-created in its fullness from alpha to omega however, comparable to a digital action movie stored on a microchip, the relativistic effects and changes of space-time would be contingent and superficial emergent characteristics of the present time line position of inhabitants of the movie. Even relativity would be an apparent rather than a real experience.”

“Yes John. I follow that. The characteristic of a fully created and static Universe that had apparent motion experienced by people living within it just as minds or thoughts experiencing it as they moved forward within the Universe’s space-time line might well appear to have the qualities of real motion, time and general relativity commonly regarded as actual qualities of space-time.”

“Thus it is that there is a great difference between apparent and actual material facts regarded by a conscious mind, at least potentially or theoretically. Plato’s famous Allegory of the Cave recorded that idea many thousands of years ago in the Earth’s lost past. Still, we have the problem of evil as it relates to God in addition to the nature of the Multiverse and FTL 5 units to consider.”

“Of course John, please continue.”

“An infinite Multiverse could be encompassed by God as an idea pre-determined yet infinitely malleable. For now I will stipulate that the Multiverse created is static and that minds existing within it experience it contingently without awareness that it is their ideas traveling within its spatio-temporal substance rather than Multiverse or any given Universe itself.

Every possible Universe in any form is pre-created within an idea of God that hasn’t spatial-temporal dimension or scale; God is spirit. The Multiverse is a contingent idea of less necessary size than that of a Plank length.”

“Then John, the Multiverse to be consistent would require that each thought of any mind would be consistent with the appropriate pre-determined physical structure of a single Universe; logically then a single thought would switch any individual’s thought to another Universe with a structure consistent with that though selected by the individual.”

“Yes Carla. That is perhaps one of the most remarkable features of a Multiverse with free will and pre-determinism coexisting. All of the infinite Universes existing within the Multiverse allow seamless thought transference laterally. It is just the number of souls that are conscious thought that are finite or at least numbered and known to God that exist within the Multiverse.

And that is why God could pre-determine every possible Universe and pre-create it in its fullness and allow free will to flow within it to such an extent that it could choose wickedness and occupy spatio-temporal material locations consistent with it; until people choose wickedness, the locations of wickedness aren’t used. They are empty shells without spirit within them.”

“Sure John. Hell existed yet one need choose not to be saved to occupy it. Wicked scenes in the Multiverse exist yet until someone chooses wickedness no one goes there.”

“And Carla, though God created Lucifer as an angel of light, Hell was brought into existence to contain him should he choose wickedness. It is amazing that wickedness is selected by some as a creative power of destruction as they hope to create more wickedness. They expand human and other spiritual experience into realms that God never intended for anyone to go. Heaven and hell as something of existential selections would be challenging and even anathematic concepts for many during the passage of time that is human experience.”

“What of the quantum mechanics of it all John? What would the structure of a static Multiverse be in regard to quantum mechanics, subatomic and virtual particles?”

“My thoughts on the topic are nothing more than inferences. Consider how gravity exists transcendently within a Universe yet draws mass only at the speed of light. Gravity need have some sort of faster than light presence to transcend local limitations of space-time yet draws other mass together only up to the speed limits of mass within a field described by general relativity; gravity is another emergent characteristic of the entanglement of virtual particles that for any given particle occupy theoretically every possible location in the space-time of a Universe. The probabilities of entanglement increase compresent with the increase of mass and hence mass is drawn together as an emergent phenomena that seems to be gravity.

Each individual virtual particle and a unique configuration of a Universe as a unique Universe differing from another by as little difference as the location selected through entanglement of one virtual particle from another is required for comprehensive permutations of all possible to exist alongside those of all possible Universe that could be occupied by a human being. Of the switching mechanics of a soul from one Universe to another that is consistent with his or her thoughts and free will selections in a world-line I cannot say right now. I will, God willing, give that some additional thought eventually. It may be either a material or a spiritual mechanics since either is consistent with a theology of a Multiverse fully actualized by God.”

“Then I may infer John, that God has provided people with free will that allows them, existentially, to choose their own destination in hell, should they decide not to accept his call unto eternal salvation through the atoning sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ?”

“I agree with that inference Carla. Keeping in mind of course, that wickedness is the evil that men do, while plain evil are those enacted by nature and else without act of human will, so far as one interprets Biblical use of the terms. Satan is wicked while earthquakes that collapse well designed and built structures may be evil, contingent upon their effects on humanity-for instance the city may have been long deserted and an eyesore and the Earthquake served as an accelerated improvisational urban renewal phase one; hence not evil.”

“Evil in nature need impact humans adversely to be evil and therefore is a secondary emergent phenomena?”

“Again Carla, I must agree.”
