God's Creation, physical/cosmological analogues etc.

On the idea of placing Jesus Christ within a secular political context, I believe it tends toward an importunate effort. God is non-contingent being and he simply won't fit into human sandals other than the one's he chose to wear when incarnate.

Some people believe, in erro perhaps, that the evolutionary theory has life being created by a lightening bolt as if by Zeus. Yet in science theory and the Bible man is created from inorganic solids or compounds at some point becoming more complex.

Lightening bolts are an electric charge that could provide some sort of Frankensteinian imagery to creation theories n science and evolution even if by some being floating on a cloud from another dimension. Yet those electrons have other scientific explanations contemprarily that I may say something about.

If an electron travels at the speed of light, and they are posited to, then if it also spins it could travel faster than light and violate that principle of the special theory. Fortunately all particles in superstring theory are thought to be made of one dimensional strings, or no dimensional or one-dimensional branes, that are tied into other, smaller, faster and cheaper dimensions.

Those strings are not made of the kind of string that one has fraying off of one's clothing perennially before church. Instead the strings are analogies to describe forms of vibrational 'energy' perhaps non-visualizable to even very good mathematicians that have created the term 'string' to illustrate the principle.

The strings and branes (another tough to visualize entity perhaps like a flat soap bubble thats really tiny-- smaller than the plank length (smallest normally measurable size of anything theoretically) and those extra dimensions of small size in which they exist were all created when a very tiny singularity containing a Higgs Field hyper-expanded in a fraction of a second 14 billion years ago to a very large size because of quantum uncertainty, or a characteristic of instability in quantum configurations of which everything is made below atomic scale.

Time and space were created together from that singularity. Time exists integrally as a part of space, yet the formations of matter are affected by gravity and the statistically measurable characteristic of matter to move toward its most simple and lowest energy state through entropy. The singularity at the beginning was the most ordered conditionin of the universe paradoxically. It is like an hourglass flowing from the top to bottom analogously.

God created the world by a spoken word providing the initial order and vibrations. Special relativity renders Universal history viewable from all times to an omnipresent observer, yet God is above the waveform universe that he issued. He can create it in a deterministic general parameter yet permit uncertainty. He can foreordain, predestine and allow free will.

Life was not created by a flung lightening bolt, or by some electrons nor even strings or no-braners, it was created by God through his will.

Social philosophy in chatrooms

Maybe the academic discussion of social issues in public contexts inevitably would be followed by political assaults from partisan opponents of whatever the issue happened to be. Political partisanship such as is common in the U.S. national scene precludes a rational consideration of social issues in many instances.

Terry McCaulif, DNC head, has made a few parting shots before he is replaced by a winner (potentially) in the job. Mr. McCauliff said that the Kerry campaign died before crossing the finish line (my inaccurate paraphrasing) of election victory because the Boston Convention did not attack G.W.B. sufficiently. Notably Mr. McCauliff did not list his leadership failure to bring attractive issues on economy and border security to the front of the DN platform as causes for the defeat in the 2004 election.

In Nagadoches Texas recently a law enforcement officer inspecting a truck loaded with frozen chickens discovered a secret cache with 2.3 million dollars. Perhaps the Mexican named driver was returning to Mexico with the proceeds from a sale of contraband merchandise to the U.S. consumers. In California there are approximately 2 million illegal aliens with Driver’s licenses, and it may thus be a good way for illegal aliens with truck driving skills to get a commercial truck endorsement to work in the U.S.A.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to prevent illegal aliens from gaining a driver’s license from U.S. States; maybe the Senate will pass it, maybe not. It depends on what influence various special interests will have in obstructing it’s passage.

Timing is important in legislation. After the President’s inaugural speech his polled approval rating were high. It was with careful timing that the budget would be released with the vast cost omissions of Iraq and SS Reform and a residual quarter trillion dollar deficit and news organizations would report that the President had a 57% approval rating. Many days later a poll that followed the budget’s release would report the president had only a 45% approval rating, yet the time delay had served the purpose, and the publics correlation of the response to the President’s budget would be obscured.

Jeremy Rifkin, to borrow from a ‘Dallas Morning News’ quote of Mr. Rifkin, said, “The tug between Europe and America goes even deeper than questions of personal opportunity and quality of life. What really distinguishes the comings and goings in Europe is that Europe is busy preparing for a new era while America is desperately trying to hold on to the old one.”-From ‘The European Dream’

The Dallas Morning News lead editorial opinion noted that patriotic conservatives and liberals such as former CIA director Jim Woolsey are putting themselves into the driver’s seat of Honda Prius’ to save on national consumption of oil. Oil it is postulated, is a neanderthalic, counterproductive, regressive fuel used by apathetic, slow to change individuals apathetic to national self-reliance and progress and unconcerned about really silly administration policy that just enriches their special interests (not a quote, but my summary of points of the gist) approach to national economic self-interest that will be the cause for a succession of waves of war to control Middle Eastern and OPEC oilfields. Additionally, the editorial pointed out the well-known point that oil purchases indirectly fund inimical foreign governments and terrorists seeking to harm the U.S. National security. All I would add to the solid social-economic planks of national balanced budget and security issue analysis is that the Federal administration also is too reliant on China for transnational corporate profits and stock investment growth, and potential for privatization of social security.
