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

To every believer in God, the ego of humans is a living force. On page 221 of Rene Dugas’ book on "A History of Mechanics," Leibniz compares living forces with dead forces. He says that ‘the living forces is born of an infinity of impressions of the dead force.’ He expresses the living force with the equation, F = m dv/dt.

Now pick up a stone from the ground. Such a stone is at rest if no external force is acting on it. Since a stone has weight and thus has mass (m), the stone has inertial energy (E). Inertial energy is expressed by Einstein’s famous law, E= m c2. Now, use your ego to throw the stone at a window to prove that you are a living force. To throw the stone, you can use some your body’s energy and add this energy to the stone’s inertial energy. The energy you added to the stone is called kinetic (or moving) energy.

Note,. If the stone breaks the window, the broken window parts will fall downward and will appear as group of wavess. Some parts might fall on the window pane whereas others will fall to the ground. But, your ego did not use your living force morally. So living forces can produce good or evil. Obviously, God expects living forces to produce more and more good work as time passes.

Mechanists and Atheists say that this stone throwing act can be predicted. They also say that they can predict crimes, free market economies, etc. after their mathematicians have completed their field of thought and have identified all logical causes and all effects. So when President Hoover said that the 1929 depression would recover itself, his ego was quiet and was acting more like the zero ego of a Mechanist.

Today, the Mechanists and Atheists do not believe that our planetary system is at rest, as Kepler says. This rest means that planets are moving in relatively force-free orbits. Instead, Mechanists and Atheists believe that all things in the universe interact like the balls interact on a pool table. At rest, our planetary system is organized based on the least action principle because Nicholas of Cusa found that the maximum and minimum is an attribute only of God. (See De Docta Ignorantia, Bk. I, Ch. 4.) (Click) The least action principle produces the greatest performances for the least expenditures. Moses also expected God to do other work after God rested on the seventh day. Since only God is maximum and minimum, we must expect our sun to darken, as Jesus taught in Matthew, Ch. 24. So, humans must go to Mars and beyond.

Like the rejection of Kepler, the atheists also reject my book. But they never read my book. Instead, their reviews are general merely statements saying that my book is filled with non sequiturs. This means that they expect authors to limit human life to mechanistic activities based on logic alone.

U. S. citizens must reread the Declaration of Independence and see that the USA was actually founded as a nation under God. With this reread, the U.S. government can be changed to a government of, by, and for ‘the people and God.
