Help Remaking America by George Shollenberger, Idea 100 + XXIV (Intelligent Design, XIa)
In this blog, I discuss the contribution of Georg Cantor (1845-1918) to man’s knowledge of God’s Intelligence Design. As a mathematician, Cantor develops a new system of numbers, which extend numbers beyond the system of finite numbers that we use every day. These new numbers are called transfinite numbers and open a new field of thought that give us a better understanding of God. I suggest the book " George Cantor: His Mathematics and Philosophy of the Infinite" by Joseph Warren Dauben. See Cantors pic on the left.
However, this new field of thought became essentially stagnant after Cantor died because of the wars during the 20th century and the drift into atheism in the 1970s. Today, many mathematicians and scientists have turned away from God and are building a system of thought in support of atheism. This turn is a serious error because it can destroy the founding of the USA as a nation under God.
The cause of the drift away from God can be found in changing meanings of the concepts ‘infinite’ and ‘whole.’ On the meaning of infinity, atheistic mathematicians say that only the mathematical infinity exists. On the meaning of a whole, the atheists say that a whole is equal to the sum of its parts. This means that all parts and the number of parts are finite. The two meanings of the atheists have not considered the work of Nicholas of Cusa, Galileo, Gottfried Leibniz, and Georg Cantor.
Cantor shows us that two different infinities exist. One infinity is the mathematical infinity as mathematicians say. However, the mathematical infinity is a variable that either grows beyond all limits (e.g., 1, 2, 3, ....) or diminishes to an arbitrary smallness, always remaining finite (e.g., 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ....). Cantor found the second infinity. This infinity is determinate and never changes.
The determinate infinite is used in the complex number system as a single determinate point on the S-plane. So the mathematician can study complex numbers around this determinate point. Since the determinate infinite is logically related to the concept ‘finite,’ the determinate infinite is the negative of ‘all finite things.’ I use this negative thinking in my book on ‘The First Scientific Proof of God.’ There, I say that the origin of ‘all finite things’ is a determinate and unchanging infinite thing. Isn’t an infinite thing God?
Since atheists say that a whole is equal to the sum of its parts, they must be viewing our universe as a container, like a glass that can be filled with water. So, if the universe is a container, the universe must have something inside or outside that contains all finite things. What are these containers?
Nicholas of Cusa, Galileo, and Gottfried Leibniz say that ‘a continuous quantity has been built up of an infinite number of indivisibles. So, every finite thing found in the universe is constructed of an infinite number of the true atoms that Leibniz identified.
Major contributors of knowledge about God’s Intelligent Design say that the universe is not a container. Instead, they say that each thing is related to all other thing and that these relations are functional relations. They also say that a finite thing is not related only to other finite things, They say that each finite thing is also related to the infinite thing that originates them. Since an infinite thing is also not a container, functional relations must also exist between an infinite thing and all finite things.
Obviously the second determinate infinite is necessary. And saying that all finite things have a finite number of parts is a false belief. Clearly, the atheists have made a huge error.
