Science, again

Month, Day: Perfection, Sovereignty (Perfection)

Only a couple of more days to the Operational. As it has been said, science is how we know God's creation (audacity), and we can honor being.

Some fore thoughts might be in order, to set the stage.

First, we have access to the proper sources.

Aqdas #183: Say: This is the infallible Balance which the Hand of God is holding, in which all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth are weighed, and their fate determined, if ye be of them that believe and recognize this truth. Say: This is the Most Great Testimony, by which the validity of every proof throughout the ages hath been established, would that ye might be assured thereof

Then, we can differentiate using our understanding.

SAQ #47: For example, if a man of his own mind and intelligence collects some elements and combines them, a living being will not be brought into existence since the system is unnatural. This is the answer to the implied question that, since beings are made by the composition and the combination of elements, why is it not possible for us to gather elements and mingle them together, and so create a living being. This is a false supposition, for the origin of this composition is from God; it is God Who makes the combination, and as it is done according to the natural system, from each composition one being is produced, and an existence is realized. A composition made by man produces nothing because man cannot create.

Of course, as said before, none of us can do this infallibly. No, but there is a functional equivalent in the new way, namely the UHJ. Think of it this way, for measures, we have agreement based upon some physical property and congruence of thoughts on interpretation. So, it goes for other standards. Similarly, we'll have some type of device to record the UHJ's insights on a decision, implying a computational framework and the associated 'truth' engineering. By the way, this does beg the question of the role in logic (propositional or whatever) for contents from the Writings.

And, we do have the right to try to push back the frontiers of knowledge. Science is based upon Questions and the quasi-empirical.

Why audacity? Well, to stand up to the disclaims of the Lights and the Brights, for one thing. We really need to integrate from the disparate views created by reductionism and materialism, partly through the growing facilities that we'll see from our ubiquitous computational (via mineral, via biology, and via spirit) prowess.

Yes, no limit (The key: Obey Me and I will make you like unto Myself. I say Be and it Is. You will say Be and it will be.).
