Remaking America by George Shollenberger, Idea 100 + III (A Nation Under God, XXIX)

In this blog I expand my thoughts on the concept we know as ‘relation.’ To my knowledge this concept was used first by Moses when he was identifying the relationships among families in the Book of Numbers of the Old Testament. Today these relationships are known as relatives.

This meaning of the symbol relation was expanded when the Middle Ages ended with the work of Nicholas of Cusa and modern science began with the work of Galileo on the motion of pendulums. This expansion occurred when the concept ‘function’ was added to the subject ‘relation’ as an adjective by mathematical physicists. This combination became known as a functional relation. An example is the physical law expressed as ‘force equals mass times acceleration.’ Mathematical physicists found this law and express it as F = ma. Mass and its acceleration functions by producing a force, which functions for the infrastructure of life in the universe. In a similar way, a human sperm, human egg, and human soul function to produce a human being, who functions for itself and other human beings.

Because relations are not physical things, all functional relations must be spiritual. Thus, since mind is a spiritual thing, only human Spirits can know functional relations. Here then is a deeper understanding of science and truths. The nature of the universe and its creator can become more real with spiritual studies.

In this blog, I am thus saying that the science of today must be reformed drastically. Further, I say that the people of the USA must turn to God and make America a nation under God.’
