Remaking America by George Shollenberger, Idea XXXIV (The science of Gottfried Leibniz, Part III)

Yesterday I said that Parkinson’s book, ‘Leibniz: Philosophical Writings,’ appeared in the USA first in 1975 and was reprinted in 1979, the same year that Jasper Hopkins’ translations of the 15th century writings of Nicholas of Cusa appeared. Both writings were of immediate interest in the USA. But this timing was not good because the USA was changing rapidly after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled favorably for atheism in 1967.

This change includes the growth of the Hippie and drug cultures and the continued growth of multinational and free trade economics. This change also included the Nixon reduction of the space program. This reduction caused the loss of many jobs by our scientists and technologists. Suicide was frequent and inflation was growing. The 1970s became an era of uncertainty. So, some physicists sought world theories in the Far East while other physicists continued to develop the Big Bang theory.

And by the 1970s, Christianity was losing many intelligent members to the New Age and New Thought movements. So, during the period from 1967-2009, the interest in Leibniz was not high enough. Only after the people of the USA put Barack Obama into the White House, did I conclude that the timing is right to reintroduce Parkinson’s book with my book and my thoughts on ‘Remaking America.’

Only two kinds of people will block this introduction. One is the Christian, who has misinterpreted the teachings of Jesus Chris badly. The second coming of Christ is a false interpretation because the teachings of Jesus Christ can be traced to the Greek teachings of Plato, Aristotle, Anaxagoras, etc. So, we know where Jesus was before he began to teach. The teachings of Jesus are great. But his teachings do not make him God.

The other is the field of physical mathematics. These mathematicians promoted the ‘swaps’ developed by U.S. banks based on the belief that human behavior can be predicted. These mathematicians also predict the end of the universe and agree with the Big Bang theory. Leibniz proves that mathematics can make predictions only about ‘all possible worlds.’ The Big Bang theory is only one possible world. And God’s creation is also only one possible world. So, these mathematicians are misleading the people in every nation.

If the scientists of the USA consider the writings of Leibniz, the people of the USA will destroy the current depression quickly.
