Help Remaking America by George Shollenberger, Idea 100 + XXX (Intelligent Design, XIII)

In this blog, I discuss Ernst Cassirer (1874-1945 ) and his contribution to man’s knowledge of God’s Intelligence Design. Cassirer's pic is on the right.

As a historian, Cassirer has many contributions in his defense of God. But his greatest contribution will be found in a 3-volume book on "The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms." These three books focus on (1) language, (2) myth, and (3) knowledge. These books appeared first in Germany in 1929. As a Jew, the Nazis forced him and his family to leave Germany. This was a great gain for the USA. Yale University lured him to America in 1941. There, in two years, he translates these three books into English. He made this translation but died in 1945.

The importance of Cassirer’s three books was expressed by Susanne Langer when she dedicated her 1953 book on "Feeling and Form" to Cassirer. She also cited Cassirer among the 1920 linguists who discovered that our sense-data are primarily symbols on page 21 of her book on "Philosophy in a New Key."

Unfortunately, U.S. scientists were still debating the general meaning of a sign (or signal) and a symbol in 1952 at the Thirteenth Symposium of the Conference of Science, Philosophy, and Religion at Columbia University. Fortunately, in 1975, the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction (SSSI) was founded. Initially, SSSI studies used symbols to explain the social relations between humans and animals. Today, SSSI studies use symbols to explain physical relations between humans and animals.

At this 1952 conference and in the SSSI, the philosophy of symbolism seems to be losing some of its spiritual power against atheism and materialism. If atheism and materialism win the debate over the meanings of signs and symbols, then human beings would be viewed as animals and Darwin’s evolutionary theory would destroy God.

Thus, it is time for defenders of God to study the books of Langer and Cassirer. In the books by them, the purpose of symbols is not to explain the physical relations among humans. In their books, the purpose of symbols is to perfect the morality of humans against evilness. With their books, symbols are applied only to human life and signs (or signals) are applied to both humans and animals. Unless the defenders of God begin to act at the level of government, the U.S. government could become very evil.

    Could Become? Take a look at what is happening involving health care. You have an administration that if they don't take you out before you're born into this world (i.e abortion) they'll speed your exit out of it (i.e rationed health care)
    The two parties are basically two sides of the same coin. If you have a dollar the Republican will beat you up for it. The Democrat will steal it from you and then beat you up for having it in the first place.

    Hi Dave,

    Very excellent points. They showthat it is time to change the u.S. Constitution so that Congress deal only with the Laws of Nature and Nature's God in the Declaration of Independence. Our government is no longer developing our nation. With development the ideas of socialism and free market economy will fade away. With development, there is never enough labor and never enough money. With development, money becomes the means rather than the end. Money become the meaning of the greatest ends.

    Subject: Fwd: Two retired generals denounce Former Vice President Cheney

    Doing my part. These people need to be stopped and made to tell the truth. Only the truth shall set them free. We're forgiving if they only admit their inhumanity. And don't forget one and all he represents how we look to the rest of the world. You and Me.




    Dear Bonnie,

    Two former generals denounce former Vice President Cheney in a scathing op-ed today.



    Help spread the word – read the op-ed and post it on facebook!

    It's not every day that retired generals denounce a Vice President. But two distinguished military leaders felt compelled to speak out against Mr. Cheney's support of torture, in an op-ed in today's Miami Herald.

    Check it out on our facebook page – and spread the word through your networks!

    General Charles C. Krulak and General Joseph P. Hoar have this to say:

    In the fear that followed 9/11, Americans were told that defeating Al Qaeda would require us to "take off the gloves." As a former Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps and a retired Commander-in-Chief of U.S. Central Command, we knew that was a recipe for disaster. But we never imagined that we would feel duty-bound to publicly denounce a Vice President of the United States, a man who has served our country for many years. In light of the irresponsible statements recently made by former Vice President Dick Cheney, however, we feel we must repudiate his dangerous ideas – and his scare tactics.
    Read the rest of the op-ed – and post it through your networks to increase its impact. Help us fight back against Mr. Cheney's dangerous media blitz!

    Human Rights First has been working for years with a group of distinguished retired admirals and generals to advocate an end to torture and official cruelty. President Obama called upon this group to stand behind him as he signed the executive orders ending these practices and announcing the closure of Guantanamo.

    Help spread the word!
