Theology and Multiverse inference remark 1

 An eternal universe generation of infinite numbers of universes is consistent with God's eternal nature. Heraclitus was a good pre-Socratic philosopher. One wonders how omniscience and omnipotence would create infinite numbers of Universes and let them always exist in His spirit and actualize them temporally for contingent other sentient beings etc to contemplate. The always in motion vs always at rest criterion of Parmenides and Heraclitus reminds me of Tegmark's level 4 Multiverse paradigm with overtones of Berkeleyan ideaism.

Determined to Be (poem)

  Colors rise full with time
swept together in soft signs
that drenches nothingness
emerald forests wood shine

  Lines woven into new forms
universal circle norms
at the edges of ever
life is an advancing storm

  Moving on some pieces stay
when others go to new days
oceans spin drift young foam crests
fly to endless, restless waves

  Tides send infinity
a shoreline for being free
constructions saved by the Lord
were determined to be.

Darwinism is an easy support for moral and philosophical sloth

People have commonly the causality of issues of politics and religion over history. Some blame religion for various European conflicts rather than individuals within organizations as if individuals were not responsible; as if abstract beliefs compelled individuals to cause harm. If the religion doesn't order injury to others, the fault lies within the people and not the stars Horatio. 

For the simple minded and unphilosophical it is easy to just take up Darwinism and leave reading the Bible and cosmology to someone else. Society is about a thousand from synthetic understanding of modern cosmology with deep Bible hermeneutics. Theologians and scientists together comprise ignorance of their own and the opposition force material more than a little. Yet average people have Darwin, television and automobiles and are content to leave things unexamined philosophically.    

  from wiki-"In Hitler's eyes, Christianity was a religion fit only for slaves; he detested its ethics in particular. Its teaching, he declared, was a rebellion against the natural law of selection by struggle and the survival of the fittest.

— Alan Bullock, Hitler: A Study in Tyranny "

from wiki- "However much Hitler on some occasions claimed to want a respite in the conflict [with the churches], his own inflammatory comments gave his underlings all the license they needed to turn up the heat on the 'Church Struggle', confident that they were working towards the Fuhrer...Hitler's impatience with the churches prompted frequent outbursts of hostility. In early 1937, he was declaring that 'Christianity was ripe for destruction' (Untergang), and that the churches must therefore yield to the 'primacy of the state', railing against 'the most horrible institution imaginable'

Sect. Blinken, Adolph Hitler and modern Germany don't (or didn't) want to share Ukraine with Russians

 It is worth remembering that Hitler was greeted as a liberator in Ukraine by the sort of people that greet Sect Blinken and get rockets from Britain. https://www.britannica.com/place/Ukraine/The-Nazi-occupation-of-Soviet-Ukraine

 When I learn of German and administration comments about Ukraine it makes me feel rather dirty because U.S. leadership is on the same side with Germans in trying to take all of Russia's Ukraine for themselves. My late father was a World war II vet of four years service. Never forget Baby Yar etc. What filthy blighters prefer aggressive war to peace and prosperity? The broadcast media just loves to hate on Russia and invest in Wall Street. How many people did Russia lose in WW II? Can the U.S.A. compare its own suffering to Russia's.? Russians had two wars with Germany in the 20th century on the allied side more or less in addition to the communist problems. Ganging up on Russia is stupid and just not morally righteous although Brevik might like it. I'd be inclined to comment that the U.S. is the wolf at the door, except I like wolves and wolves aren't murderers.

N.A\.T.O. and Wall Street's elite appear to fill the NAZI roles I.M.O. regarding Ukraine.




Causality and Special Relativity

 One may make certain assumptions regarding what causality is, or when it is, that may not be accurate. One tends to regard causality as an element occurring in time, or along a time line from alpha to omega, perhaps at some time omicron or whenever, and that might disregard the non-linear factors that coincide with an event that requires preceding 'causes' or conditions to exist. That is causality may proceed from numerous, perhaps an infinite number of axis or vectors such as x or x and y or x,y, z axes through infinity.

So one has the question of what a particular point event on a single infinite line has as qualities that differentiates it from preceding events on the continuum of time materially flowing (if time actually occurs as relative positions among numerous or plural ‘objects’ rather than as a hypothetical abstract dimension for mathematical purposes.

Then one wonders how an infinite timeline without beginning or end has differentiable causes, perhaps such as material forms that comprise quarks, strings or humans, or maybe sentient though in-itself, as it  develops through a Universe or Metaverse from eternity without beginning or end, yet strewn with countless Universes in theory that occur with some unusual relationship between themselves that some physical cosmologists speculate would exist like an eternally branching tree packed fractal like with infinite numbers of universes within and without itself because of the way ifninite dimensions can pack. That paradigm with quantum fields of some sort generating virtual particles that become entangled and locked into a steady state of matter that supposedly is a secondary quality of energy may not require causes to be.

 That may seem somewhat sketchy, yet causality may be something humans think about because of the appearance of pluralism rather than monism concerning mass and stars etc. Yet particles pick up mass in the Higgs field from their normal two-dimensional condition as energy as they slow to sub-light velocity as get the appearance of a third dimension (in time). It could be that the existence of the quantum field at some deep level is eternal and the appearance of various forms and change of matter is contingent being. The pre-Socratics Parmenides and Heraclitus were concerned with similar issues. God is spirit. Spirit differs from contingent mass and energy. Foe humans though observing mass and energy in various forms and considering the temporal forms that it takes are great inquires and even rather sporting. If God wills things to exist eternally he could. Cosmologists tend to believe that Universes, big bangs and inflatons may occur infinitely too. Lorentz transformations are interesting ways to consider where things are in time from the viewpoint of different observers. One might develop a similar equation to apply to the Metaverse and decide if anything was really a cause of anything else or if it all was a thought of God’s without beginning or end in time or its temporal forms.

Time seems inseparable from thermodynamic change, that is from the particles and energy that comprise it. Time may be equivalence of motion  of wavicles measured uniformly in a sector en mass. The Lorentz transformation  is a formula used in special relativity to coordinate perspectives of two different observers concerning time. Changes in physical systems occur in a given system of physical values often set by the local strength of gravity and pace of motion. Time is a measurement or quantification of the rate of change locally.



Yes the Bible is True

 Truth is a verification of a statement or proposition.Truth is relative and conditional except for One whom is everything in-himself (God). God precedes all contingent universes and fields, waves or forms. The One who eternally exists hasn't a need to verify Himself or contingent facts He created, or is. Truth is for lesser beings with the possibility of falsehood, uncertainty and error. Here today, gone tomorrow in a manner of speaking, is humanity as a blade of grass as Solomon noted. All is vanity. The Bible, or Biblos meaning little books, is true in recounting that ti,me in  Middle Eastern history. Most skeptics are searching for error rather than truth in it, and they tend to find that at least in misunderstanding it.

Jesus told Nicodemus that mankind need be born again, of the spirit.  Mankind is born in sin, materially embedded in a thermodynamic field. All mass exists because 2-dimensional energy packets slow to sub-light speed in the Higgs field getting a 3rd dimension along the line of travel. Adam and Eve picked up those thermodynamic traits that exist for all in the Higgs field when they flunked obeying God's instructions (sin) missing the mark of perfection required to be in the presence of God. Jesus Christ helps the elect with that, having shed His blood in atonement for the sins of people of faith in Him. Faith in the Lord brings one to spiritual rebirth, though still living in the thermodynamic, temporal field of being.

Mass US Covid 19 care preparation could have been better

 Since the Obama administration debate on what shape national health care should take I have periodically advocated free health care for the poor provided directly by medical staff on U.S. Government payroll. That is the most efficient way to include everyone and skip layers of bureaucracy and pay to middlemen insurance people. My suggestion was that the Veteran’s Administration hospital system could have been expanded greatly and combined with community service clinics to cover Veterans and the poor with a large surplus bed capability that could be ramped up in case of national emergency to provide auxiliary service to all Americans after the beds in regular hospitals systems not part of the V.A. hospital/community service clinics. Covid in the Omicron era could have easily been supported without undo strain on civilian, non-government hospitals.

This post isn’t intended to be an I told you so note. The purpose here is to reiterate the point that the nation is not prepared to provide quality walk-in medical service for 100% of the nation’s poor residents and citizens or for all Veterans either reportedly. Neither would it be able to handle a real, more lethal pandemic that has a fair chance of occurring sometime in the future because the entire world is packed with billions of souls, millions of biologists and transportation that allow same-day movement anywhere on the globe. If some sort of a serious genetically engineered pathogen or even another natural one from the usual suspects in Asia U.S. experts and medical capability, not to mention the economy so reliant on imports to exist, would go belly up as quick as a grizzly bear would eat a box of jelly donuts given the chance.



The next pandemic event may kill billions of souls indirectly via mass starvation when the heavily dependent on global supply chains economies break down. People are not as clever as they sometimes believe they are, so preparedness might be considered something akin to godliness, especially if it serves the meritorious purpose of relieving the poor of suffering created by the maladaptation of the national political economy to existential challenges presented by the shrinking of the world and population increase on the planet.
