Theological Science and the Quality of Things, I

The finite number systems allow one to number all spiritual atoms. And the transfinite numbers found by Georg Cantor allow one to number the wholes in the universe. However, neither the finite nor the transfinite numbers inform us about the qualities of the wholes we find in the universe. So, in this sub-series of blogs, I discuss how these qualities might be identified by theological science.

To see these wholes with one’s mind, one must recognize that the spiritual atoms form a ‘first whole.’ In my book, I call the first whole ‘the initial universe.’ So, it was always correct to say that the initial universe can be placed on the point of a pin. This initial universe can be rationalized by knowing that, in God, the spiritual atoms are ‘one’ and that the spiritual atoms become ‘many’ instantly. Accordingly, time is not a factor in God’s creation of the universe. For this reason, the creation of God must be understood ontologically.

Ontology is the study of beings. I saw the instant creation of the universe when I thought of the impulse function in the field of mathematics and modeled the creation with this mathematical function. Thus, in an instant, the universe is created by an infinite God, who, by necessity, must be the origin of the first whole of all spiritual atoms that are on the point of a pin. Ontologically, I thus see the second whole, third whole, fourth whole, fifth whole, ... nth whole. This series of wholes is not formed with leaps or steps. Instead of leaps or steps, these wholes form a geometrical continuum, just as the rational and irrational numbers form a geometrical continuum of numbers. As seen, the universe is changing continually into new wholes.

If we could stop these changes, the different wholes of the universe could be known precisely. Since no one can stop them, we cannot know these wholes exactly. For the same reason, I reject the Big Bang theory and the belief that the universe comes to an end.

Far enough for this blog.
