Economics, Science, and Religion 6

[6]

1) In religion, the modern world view fails to seriously and consistently apply the discoveries published by Charles Darwin in 1859; above all to humans themselves.

By not accepting that Creation, especially that of biological species, is an evolutionary, dynamic, eternal process, it looks upon it in a pre- Darwinian manner as static and homocentric, something to be preserved or changed (exclusively by man).

By now contrary to better knowledge, it still sees the world (and man) as fully evolved, albeit flawed, and optimizable only in the context of "self - optimization" with self-set goals, in one's own sense - so far (and probably henceforth as well) with very dubious results.

Before, in pre-Darwinian times, all and everything was in the end made and given by God (and regally assigned) and therefore stayed within His responsibility.

This world view was consistent in itself; but now that man is actually able to directly intervene in the process of creation, for example in nuclear physics and biogenetics, it no longer applies; God no longer sets the goals, but man. And indeed, paradoxically, in an open, uncontrolled system, an emancipated position (emancipated from what?) cannot be defined, neither in absolute nor in relative terms; only a godlike one.


This results in a religious disorientation, individualization and isolation.

Religion can thus no longer fulfill its aforementioned task; the community crumbles, as it no longer exists.

And as nothing anymore is given, "creativity" is required.

Not only is there no longer a belief in a Creation completed, but not even in an evolving one; except in one's own (and self -) creation - and, indeed, evolution - which then regularly, with the death of the individual, ends with the annihilation of all progress, continually destroying all that has been achieved.


Thus, eternity is reduced to a lifespan; and a lifespan becomes eternity.

Time Gravity Dip

Something to think about... Note that the end speed seems not to change, therefore the second law / conservation of energy is not violated -  but somewhere along the way, the effect of gravity shortens the overall time, thus increasing the overall speed (though the actual distance of travel also increased as well), so that the sphere with the longest way to travel paradoxically hits the target first . This works even in repetition:     Now imagine the opposite - a cannon ball shot (or a rock hurled) straight up into the air, to fall down exactly where it was: the distance is zero (or, if you miss, very short), but time did pass - and the speed of the projectile was much higher than can be inferred from that resulting 'distance'; in fact, the higher its velocity, the more time passes until it's return, and the slower or lower the resulting overall speed (remember that the trajectory of any missile on earth is always longer than the actual di...

Order, Complexity and Information

Order and Complexity in view of Information Order and Complexity have been used almost synonymously in this concept of gravitationally induced order throughout the universe; and though they are not quite the same, rightfully so. What has been missing is that order and complexity convey information . And this plays into the concept of entropy vs. negentropy (or negative entropy , which, again, does not exist ; what is meant is less entropy.) 1.    One manifestation or concept of entropy is that of disorder ; ergo, the opposite, negative entropy , manifests itself as negative disorder , less disorder or, simply, order . 2.    Another concept describes negative entropy as a measure of the information content of a system; the more entropy a system expresses, the less information it contains: Maximum disorder is maximum disorder. Maximum order is maximum order (which is far more difficult to express or assert). Comparing two identical...
