Remaking America by George Shollenberger, Idea XXXXXVII (Changing the World from Mechanism to Holism, V)

The mechanists are also atheists. Both thus reject God and also reject the soul as an independent thing. So they have a different view of the world compared to the view of believers. In this blog, I discuss this different view of believers.

In my April 7th blog, I say that believers view God as a creator who chose the best of all possible worlds based on three divine numbers. The Oneness of God thus forms a Twoness and Threeness in order to create the best world. In Bk. I, Ch. 8 of his "On Learned Ignorance"(Click), Nicholas of Cusa tells us that these numbers can be given precise scientific meaning with the concepts One, Equality, and Union. To connect God and the creation permanently, I connected God and the creation with a logical mechanism in Part II, Ch. 3 of my book. Thus, the creation must contain the following opposing concepts: many, difference, and relations.

God’s idea of Twoness can be explained with the general concepts, unity and multiplicity. These concepts distinguish and identify all atoms formed by God. God’s atoms are spiritual atoms. They are not chemical atoms as mechanists argue. The Twoness reveals many different dualisms to us. For instance, the unity of a person’s perceptions can guide that person’s development of human knowledge. Dualism also explains our ego, which can be modeled by the geometrical vector. This vector is a geometrical line that has a direction. Consider, for example, the infinite dimensional space of David Hilbert. The whole life of a vector can inform God about your functional history, your potentials, and the activity of your ego. Or you can recognize the reality of Beethoven in his Ninth Symphony. See the pics below in no space and in 2-D and 3-D spaces.

Finally, God’s idea of Threeness is explained when all of God’s atoms become related functionally, are embodied, and unfold things in the universe orderly, that is, based on God’s intelligent design.

As seen the four-dimensional space-time used by mechanists and atheists can only explain nonliving things. It cannot explain us or any lower animal.
