Proving Scientifically That the USA Is a Nation Under God

Atheism has grown in the USA because the history of the founding of the USA is not understood scientifically. For instance, many US citizens identify the concept Religion with the concept of God. Thus, since State and Religion are separated scientifically in Amendment, I of the US Constitution some US citizens say that State and God must be separated. While a law separates State and Religion, no US law separates State. The absence of a law is scientifically correct because God and Religion are not an identity.

The concepts of God and Religion canl be distinguished by any good scientist because they are different concepts and are thus things-in-themselves. Actually, no two things in the world are identical. If any two things were identical, they could be counted as dollar bills are counted. God is a thing-in-itself;’ you are a thing-in-itself; a tree is a thing-in-itself; ... etc. Since no religions are identical, different religions are also different things-in-themselves. To a scientist, all different things-in-themselves must have different contents. It is the task of science to determine the contents of all things-in-themselves. Accordingly, Religion and God cannot be equated scientifically.

A monotheistic God is, by definition, a thing in-itself. Since this thing-in-itself is one, it has no parts. Thus, God is always the same God to all people in the past, present, and future. Since every religion is continually searching for new truths about God, all religions change continually. So, an unchanging God can never be equated to a continually changing religion. It is thus clear that as religions grow and increase their truths about God, the number of different religions will decrease.

An attempt to remove God from the USA is possibly only through war. Without a war, active attempts to remove God from the USA is unlawful and can lead to imprisonment. God became a part of the USA through the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. The Declaration authorizes God in its first two paragraphs and authorizes war with England in the remaining paragraphs. The Constitution authorizes God in the Preamble with the phrase ‘to form a more perfect Union.’ This phrase is a scientific statement. To form a more perfect Union, a scientific measurement must be made. This measurement can be made only if God is assumed to be perfect and God becomes the measurement standard.

The USA is a Union. More important, the USA is a nation under God. These two truths are passed from one generation to the next generation. These truths are passed on to other generations through our coins. For instance, the phrases, E Pluribus Unum and In God We Trust, are found on the pic of the Presidential $1 coin. Because the founders created a republic, rather than a government of rulers, the back of the First Seal of the USA says ‘Rebellion to Tyrants Is Obedience to God.’ (See pic). Further, to promote the development of knowledge, the Great Seal of the USA was made. On the back of this seal, one sees the phrase Novus Ordo Seclorum, which means ‘a new order of the ages.’

Contrary to atheism and the American Civil Liberty Union (ACLU), the word ‘God’ can be used freely by any US citizen and all governmental agencies. Further, widely-accepted knowledge of God can and should be displayed on public land and in public places to remind all new citizens that the USA is a nation under God. Furthermore, widely accepted knowledge about God can and should be taught in public schools.
