The Torah documents incredible miracles of nature from creation ex nihilo to divine interruptions of the Earths natural order. There is no subtlety to these Biblically documented events and their colossal majesty jumps out of the pages of holy books around the world. And while men of Abrahamic faith are humbled by such acts they consistently overlook a miracle experienced with every breath; a gift given, it would seem, exclusively to man.
That miracle is the correlation of human thoughts with the structure of the universe. To understand this statement we must delve into the world of mathematical philosophy. A secret war has been waged amongst mathematicians for some time. In one camp lies the mighty Platonists whom believe that all of existence can be explained with numbers, while in the opposing camp lies the Formalists a collective that believe numbers are nothing more than symbols manipulated by man made rules. Let us delve deeper with an example: a + a = b Both camps would agree that the shapes these symbols take on are meaningless, with Arabic numerals we could ascribe the symbol "2" to "a" and produce: 2 + 2 = 4 We arrive at "4" because it is this symbol that represents the produced value under the Arabic numeral system. But it is the value and not the shape of the character which is of value. We could just as easily write: 2 + 2 = 9 And the above formula would be true if the "9" symbol represented the value of "2" doubled. Platonism focuses on the values behind the symbols, explaining existence through the eternal constants found in the values of formulas like the one above. The Platonist believes that the values & rules of mathematics are not a product of the mind, but they exist external to thought as a tangible entity threading the structure of existence. In simpler terms, when we calculate the speed of a car we do not create the formula & result with thought alone, rather we discover them. On the other hand, Formalists consider these values to be meagre figments of the imagination. A thought system evolved within the human mind to describe reality, while in actuality these values are nothing more than a syntehisised theorem duping us into believing in something that isn’t there. A formalist believes that the only reason light travels at 299,792,458 mps is because we say it does and while circumstantial mathematical rules may exist – eternal mathematical values do not. This branch of thought makes for great conversation, but it neglects one fact. Through the discovery of the mathematical properties of objective reality & the application of the Platonists numerical blueprint, man has been able to conquer his environment with such clarity that he can now cook food with invisible waves & blast out of the Earth’s orbit into space. It is within this mathematical realm that one of the greatest miracles reveals itself. The astonishing fact isn’t that 2 + 2 = 4, nor is it our ability to cook food with invisible waves. The miracle lies in our ability to think in unity with the universe. The human mind could interpret an environment countless ways, but by some miracle the mind functions in a way that enables man to decipher the universal mathematical truths. A clear indication that human thought patterns flow in perfect harmony with the thought patterns of the Universe; a profound gift that has enabled man to elevate himself above his environment.

The Deception “To save succeeding generations from
the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to
mankind, and to reaffirm faith in
fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the
equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and to
establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations
arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained,
and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom.”

Let me ask you three questions:
Of these 16 precepts Jesus failed to fulfil every single count,
to combat this Christians argue that he will fulfil these prophecies
with a second coming. But one can't help notice the lunacy of this
logic; if we were to of encountered 2 comings, why would the prophets
of went to such lengths to describe one?
It
is staggeringly obvious that Jesus failed to meet any of the recorded
precepts, to bypass this Messianic Christians have pulled prophecies
out of thin air via deliberate mistranslations and scriptural
ignorance. Ask yourself if Jesus hadn't come would you still read Zech
11:1-17 in the same light, or would the passage remain logical and in
context with the text that precedes it?

When
considering the conception of the Universe cosmological consensus would
imply that there existed an incredible profusion of energy, it is this
energy that caused our Universe to come into existence and this same
energy that constructs the present.
To better understand the implications of the above statement we must explore Einstein's equation: E=mc², which states that the energy (E) within something is equal to the inertial mass (M) of that thing multiplied by the speed (C) of light squared, this means that anything with mass also has energy (on an incogitable level). As a consequence we are not just surrounded by energy; we are made out of energy. Once our Universe had come into existence the laws of thermodynamics ensured that within this space-time continuum energy is eternal, with this knowledge we can conclude that any energy in existence today (both kinetic and potential) was also here at the dawn of time. In an age of mortality this is an enchanting revelation; generations of secular logos has instilled in us a belief that after death there lies nothing, yet this modern concept of energy introduces us to a new school of thought: not only were we here at the beginning of time - but we shall also be here at the end. It is the eternal nature of energy that nudges the discourse into a spiritual dimension, Ein Sof is a Kabalistic term that is used to loosely describe G-d; literally meaning "without end", this description correlates with our understanding of energy… However, while energy may be G-dly; it is not G-dlike as it relies on external laws and forces to incarnate itself as matter. An occidental conditioned mindset may grapple with the concept of a deity as the evolution of secularism has instilled a great distrust in that which logic cannot explain, yet the more enlightened man becomes the more perceptive he is to theories of an extraneous evolutionary catalyst. "Try and penetrate with our limited means the secrets of nature and you will find that, behind all the discernible concatenations, there remains something subtle, intangible and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion. " – Albert Einstein Material existence is reliant upon an enigmatic force which scientists have clumsily branded 'energy', yet this nugatory noun fails to capture the entirety of the subject which brought about our existence and defines our future. To declare this force a G-d is too great a compliment as there are strict laws controlling its behaviour, while isolating it in the scientific domain detracts from the entirety of this omnipresent entity. Personally, I like to think of it as an extension of an incomprehensible presence, an extension which is best described as the pabulum of existence. |
