Revealed Divine Mechanistic Philosophy from Human Voluntary and Involuntary Communication Systems: Gain of Essence and Gain of Function

by
Dallas F. Bell, Jr.

“…always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of truth.”—Paul the Apostle¹

In Quintilian’s Institutio Oratoria (book 10), he argued that communicators should imitate the best communicators. Communication, Co, is derived from the Latin noun communis, meaning to share, and the verb communicare, meaning to make common. It describes the process of sending or receiving information by participants through an accepted code. Communication theory is a branch of psychology which deals with both biological and mechanical exchanges of information. A group of components that work together for a purpose is a system, S.

All living things have systems that communicate. Plants communicate to other plants, as with the sunflower’s secretion into the soil which prevent competitive plants from thriving. Plants communicate with insects, animals, and humans with luring chemosignal pollination and attractive flowers that alter their behaviors. Animals communicate with other animals and humans with sounds, scents, and behavior. For example, dogs and cats, usually male, urinate to mark their territory, initiate growls, and move toward intruders as a warning.² Rattlesnakes are known for their warning rattle³ and dolphins emit electric signals.⁴

Humans communicate with animals. Dogs recognize not only voluntary human facial expressions, human voices, and human postures but scents of the happiness and fear emotions.⁵ The scent of emotions is made involuntarily by chemosignals.⁶ Pheromones are also chemicals secreted to impact behavior received by members of the same species. They may be used to create alarm, make a food trail, or to initiate sex, especially in humans. Plutarch indicated animals were, in many ways, smarter and more ethical than humans.⁷

The human olfactory system, especially in females, picks up the scent, especially of males, conducive to sexual activity.⁸ Men can smell the scent of a woman ovulating.⁹ When men and women kiss etc., oxytocin (called the cuddle hormone) is released in the woman to bond with the man and the man releases the pleasure hormone dopamine.¹⁰

Human levels of scent can be considered to primarily be body odor, odor of food and drink, and then other systems, such as the immune system scent¹¹ or Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) system. The MHC, a cluster of genes in the immune system, iS, also called Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA).¹²

Gray’s Anatomy lists many human systems, e.g. circulatory, lymphatic, musculoskeletal, urinary etc. Some systems associated with the five types of communication are auditory (hearing) aS, autonomic nervous (tongue for speaking) nS, visual (seeing) vS, olfactory (smelling) oS, and reproductive (touching) rS; so (Co = aS, nS, vS, oS, rS… and oS = iS…).

Automata is a mechanical contrivance constructed to act as if by its own motives and power, e.g. a robot, but follows a predetermined sequence of operations automatically. If it has a finite number of states, it is a Finite Automaton (FA) or Finite State Machine (FSM). Mechanistic or mechanical philosophy¹³ is a belief that all natural phenomena can be explained materially.

Automata has brought mechanistic philosophy to the point of allowing the automaton to serve not just as a metaphor for the natural world, but as a model of what the world actually is.¹⁴

The 2020 Generative Pre-trained Transformer is the third-generation (GPT-3)¹⁵ of the GPT-n language prediction model series, computer system, cS. An autoregressive language model whose artificial intelligence rights are now owned by Microsoft. How did GPT-3 come to exist? A college dropout theorized; it did not happen recently as widely written about. His explanation concluded that it evolved over billions of years. Lightening stuck a large mudpuddle and billions of binary code sequences were made into software. That software was contained in a simple protective hard drive with an electrical connection. Millions of years later the software suddenly increased and became a blender. That blender washed up on dry land and became a vacuum cleaner. After millions of years, the vacuum sprouted wings and became an airplane, and another vacuum became a giant bulldozer. The bulldozers do not exist today but their fossils have been unearthed indicating an asteroid covered them all at once in layers of sediment across the globe preserving them intact. Millions of years later the vacuum also became a motorcycle. That motorcycle became a car, which lost its no longer needed kick-stand. That car became a computer. Over time, computers developed into the GPT-3 we see today. Dating techniques of gold samples from computers verify they are millions of years old. Additionally, an analysis of cars indicates 90% of their materials, metals and plastics etc., make up a computer.¹⁶

Seriously, the photo below of a 30-foot fossilized tree in Tennessee, as found in many parts of the world, protrudes through many layers of coal, which are estimated by evolutionists to have taken millions of years to occur without the tree deteriorating.¹⁷

Math logic (i.e. a backpropagation algorithm¹⁸) can be used to expose the motivating semiotic origin of such false evolutionary models as follows: preexistent, ∃ →, infinite, ∞, purposeful Creator of man; man S ∃ induces ∃ → ∞ God so God S → iS … And preexistent, ∃ →, finite purposeful creator of computers, c; cS ∃ induces ∃ → man S so man S → cS… It may be correctly concluded that the goal of the false model is to temporarily discredit reality, but reality always wins. That deception by a false model, beyond the eternal damnation of souls, leads to many other fallacies. For example, creating a game theory matrix of communication goals between entities void of nonmaterial realities, such as love:¹⁹ reality = nonmaterial + material so nonmaterial = reality – material and material = reality – nonmaterial. So nonmaterial U ∞ and the beliefs of atheists, Ⓐ,²⁰ and de facto atheists, (dA), (e.g. Buddhists etc.) of reality = material - ∞ is axiomatically false, given the known reality of infinite numbers etc. Infinity is completeness or wholeness (holiness) and is therefore perfect order. Infinite God is not the author of confusing disorder (Greek akatastasia).²¹ Lactanantius quoted Juvenal Ⓐ (Satire X, line 365), “Fortune has no divinity…”,²² meaning there is not a Creator (infinite God of the Bible) that cares for or can care for creation. The folly of fools, Ⓐ and (dA), is deceit.²³

Given the logic reality of Creator God, man is known to communicate with Him with prayer and songs,²⁴ and He with man by phenomena (e.g. rainbows as a sign of never again using a world flood to judge man²⁵ and earthquakes whose increasing is a sign of the last days²⁶ etc.), visions/dreams, and revelations etc. recorded in His inspired words of the Bible where He warned the prophets to never plagiarize.²⁷ The Stoic, Seneca, taught that anything said well belongs to him.²⁸ Christ Jesus cursed the fig tree, which responded by dying.²⁹ The nonmaterial reality also has righteous angels and unrighteous angels that can be communicated with. God had a dialogue with Satan,³⁰ as did Christ Jesus.³¹ Humans have also had such events with evil beings³² and righteous beings as well.³³ Animals have had exchanges with both humans and angels.³⁴ Humans communicate with themselves³⁵ and with knowledge.³⁶ That communication ability necessitates an eternal soul existence separate from the human material neural existence understood as consciousness having freewill. Neurons also communicate within their biological entities with other neurons in reaction to sensory input. Rewards for pleasure/life, e.g. food, sex etc., and the punishment of pain/death, e.g. heat, lacerations etc., are recognized. That learning causes innate adaptation of usually seeking pleasure and avoiding pain.

Humans create groups called institutions, which are family, church, business, and government and their subsets. The larger the institution the more complex the communication system. A system has a sender and receiver, the message, and the method.³⁷ It is the goal of intelligence operations to intercept messages, such as communications intelligence (COMINT), human intelligence (HUMINT), signals intelligence (SIGINT), and open source intelligence (OSINT) etc., and the goal of counter intelligence is to prevent accurate intelligence collections. Moses, in the Bible, the Amarna letters, and Homer’s Iliad (Book 10, Dolon was a spy of the Trojans) etc. record spying—a gain of information.

In taking care to ensure the message will be received as intended, other possible problem variables should be considered. They are culture to culture differences, bias against the information or sender, sending to the wrong institution entity, overwhelming the receiver with too many messages, and having a disconnect between the institution image and their self-image. Analysis and monitoring of institution subsets, e.g. a state department of a government etc., and private communications can increase effectiveness and the making of an appropriate response to the receiver’s response. When possible, face-to-face communications, with linguists and analysts if necessary, is preferred. Immediate individual body signals can be added to the understanding for more effectiveness.

Plutarch wrote of Julius Caesar’s eight years of Roman³⁸ conflict with the region of Gaul.³⁹ Caesar’s, peer of the successful orator Cicero⁴⁰ and admirer of Alexander the Great, effectiveness as a communicator (sender, message, and method) with subordinates, peers, teachers, and adversaries fueled his successful exploits but his failure (as a receiver) to adhere to the Ides of March message warnings led to his death.⁴¹ Roman conspiracy was taken seriously in Bellum Catilinae by Sallust⁴² and the Greek conspiracy of Cinadon.⁴³ But Euphron (Sicyon) was killed and his murderers were acquitted.⁴⁴

The Ming Dynasty’s (1368-1644)⁴⁵ Yongel Emperor created the world’s largest seagoing fleet of around 3,500 ships. The Treasure Fleet was command by Zheng He, who was raised a Muslim. The fleet had seven expeditions from 1405-1433. Even though it was used to carry treasure back to China, its primary purpose was to communicate force by diplomats. The son, Hongle Emperor, came to power and communicated his Confucianist Ⓐ beliefs by ending the fleet by either burning it or allowing it to rot.

A former U.S. democrat president, Lyndon Johnson stated his weather warfare strategy when he spoke (1962) to today’s Texas State University and said “…He who controls the weather will control the world.” U.S. weather tampering, with Johnson’s authority, was documented to have occurred around 1967 in Indochina.⁴⁶

Recent communications of Roman Catholic Pope Francis⁴⁷ and tyrannical government leaders, especially in the U.S., Australia, and Europe etc., are focusing on separating citizens by health fears of the China virus (COVID-19)⁴⁸ in order to establish support. Francis Collins, U.S. director of the National Institutes of Health, sent an email to Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute and Allergy and Infectious Diseases in October, 2020. Collins wrote, “This proposal” (the Great Barrington Declaration by Harvard’s Martin Kulldorff, Oxford’s Sunetra Gupta, and Stanford’s Jay Bhattacharya’s statement against blanket pandemic lockdown) “from the three fringe epidemiologists…seems to be getting a lot of attention – and even a co-signature from Nobel Prize winner Michael Leavitt at Stanford. There needs to be a quick and devastating published take down of its premises. Is it underway?”⁴⁹

Seneca, (dA), said to extract yourself from a crowd⁵⁰ because freedom is lost in crowds.⁵¹ He warned that mass crowds can not be trusted.⁵² They shake people’s principles.⁵³ It is universal for man to turn nature into madness. All vices are at odds with nature. He reasoned is it not unnatural for a man to wear women’s clothes?⁵⁴ Man pushes each other into vices and how can they have spiritual well-being when the crowd is urging them on?⁵⁵ The unknowing man takes delight in his vices as proof of his good fortune.⁵⁶ Scorn the pleasure of the majority’s approval. Your merits should not be facing outward, Seneca concluded.⁵⁷

This pre-death camp strategy of manipulating ‘mass formation psychosis’ (m → Ψ DZ)⁵⁸ was modeled by Nazis who used sympathetic medical doctors and government health officials to spread propaganda. When a society’s people are decoupled from each other and has free-floating anxiety in a sense that things don’t make sense their attention gets laser focused on a leader’s goal, which they follow as a mob without critical thinking.⁵⁹ In 1941, posters in Poland were displayed saying “Jews are lice: They cause typhus,” as seen below.⁶⁰

Nazi education materials for the Hitler Youth and German military expounded on such themes. For example, Der Jude als Weltparasit (German for The Jew as World Parasite; G.G. Otto, Munich: Eher Verlag, 1943) quoted (sic) the Jewish Midrash Talpiot (Warsaw 1875, p. 255) “God created the Gentiles in human form, although they are the same as animals…However, he created them for no other purpose than to serve the Jews day and night in never-ending toil. It is not becoming for Jews to be served by animals in the form of animals, but rather by animals in human form.”⁶¹ The Nazi pamphlet expressed the observation “…the Jew’s language. It is not a way for him to express his thoughts, but rather a means to conceal them.”

Protagoras refused to admit to Socrates that injustice is compatible with sophrosynē (self-control). They agreed that good sense is good counsel in doing injustice, iff they succeed.⁶² Logically, they add “All confident men who are not wise are mad. No mad men are noble. Therefore, no confident men who are not wise are noble.”⁶³

Human mechanical creations are designed to involuntarily communicate with other humans. The check engine light on a car comes on to warn the driver of an issue. A car’s turn signal is used by the driver to warn other drivers of an upcoming maneuver. Drivers put stickers on their cars to communicate humor or religious and political beliefs. Computers are programmed to involuntarily receive signals by the user and send signals to the user. They will always be automata, which can never have consciousness or freewill as with humans capable of learning and coming to the knowledge of truth or rejecting the knowledge of truth.

God’s communicated creation account in Genesis is a recipe for the universe and life as we know it. That specific structure has made a specific outcome. Such a process is an algorithm. It is begun with a relevant premise and follows a path to the proposed end, as described by Marcus Aurelius.⁶⁴ Any changes, such as Darwinian evolution or even so-called theistic evolution (based on an unjust finite god of sinless death), would have produced another less perfect outcome. God’s communicated instructions to Noah for the ark and its mission were also specific and if not followed would have produced another outcome.⁶⁵ Lucretius, Ⓐ, railed against the belief of a Creator God in his poem De Rerum Natura (The Nature of Things, The Senses, Book IV, 823 etc.).⁶⁶ Using religious language, he warned against the evils of religion (Matter and Void, Book I, 80-101)⁶⁷ yet said he was a god (Cosmos and Civilization, Book V, 8)⁶⁸ and opened the work itself with a hymn to Venus.⁶⁹ Seneca, (dA), often paralleled Bible passages⁷⁰ but wrote philosophy promises she will make man God’s equal.⁷¹ This belief is an achievement to be free from the care of God. He continued, philosophy has the power to blunt all blows of circumstance.⁷² Influenced by Seneca, (dA), Montaigne’s Essays add “to study philosophy is to learn to die.” The influence of Montaigne (Book 1, Chapter 30: Of the Cannibals)⁷³ on Shakespeare can be seen in passages of The Tempest (2.1.150-171)⁷⁴ and the influence (5.1.33-57)⁷⁵ of Ovid’s Metamorphoses (Book 7).⁷⁶ T.S. Elliot repeatedly alluded to The Tempest in his The Waste Land,⁷⁷ which was also influenced (II. A Game of Chess, 99) by Ovid (Book 6).⁷⁸

Epictetus began his Enchiridion by stating we are responsible for our judgements, impulses, and desires.⁷⁹ In Charles Darwin’s, (dA), 1881 letter to William Graham, with arguendo he pontificated “But then with me the horrid doubt always arises whether the convictions of man’s mind, which has been developed from the mind of the lower animals, are of any value or at all trustworthy. Would any one trust in the convictions of a monkey’s mind, if there are any convictions in such a mind?” The communications, summum bonum (supreme idea) in search for purpose of existence, of current evolutionists may be encapsuled in the recent statement of a journalist, “Behold the Almighty Algorithm, a snippet of computer code coming to stand for Higher Authority in our secular age, a sort of god.”⁸⁰ This makes coders divine or at least prophets as it establishes the false religion of their followers, m → Ψ DZ. (See the evolutionist National Institute of Health papers Religious delusions: finding meaning in psychosis by Vishal Bhavsar et al. and Religion and psychosis: a common evolutionary trajectory? by Simon Dein et al. etc.)⁸¹

This information/algorithm age was created by man.⁸² Beliefs that the DNA code of biological life is self-learning and increases, with proof to the contrary, must be accommodated in a pseudo-intellectual manner. Therefore, it is now speculated that since it is believed life has adapted and evolved, via a magical self-generated algorithm for stability, it is also believed the universe itself also has/had the same magical algorithmic pattern. Epictetus believed that the doctrines of logic, physics, and ethics were entwined. He influenced Marcus Aurelius, Blaise Pascal, René Descartes and many others.⁸³

Called the autodidactic universe by some,⁸⁴ the laws of physics are thought to learn and adapt over time. Researchers at Brown University, Microsoft, and Disney etc. propose the laws of physics might actually be slowly changing. Janna Levin, Barnard College professor of physics and astronomy at Columbia University, is quoted as saying, “If the universe can compute with a given set of algorithms, then maybe it can do the same kind of thing we see in artificial intelligence where you have self-learning systems that teach themselves new rules. And by rules, in cosmology we mean laws of physics.” Pliny the Elder said nature, (dA), is the parent of all things.⁸⁵ Lucretius, Ⓐ, wrote in De Rerum Natura that physics could free man of fear of deities if it could be demonstrated things occur naturally. He is often quoted in Montaigne’s Essays.⁸⁶ In Catullus’ poem 22 (lines 18-20), he observes everyone deceives themselves. Juvenal’s, Ⓐ, satires describe how hypocrites are intolerable. Lucian said, “...my lying is far more honest than [philosophers], for though I tell the truth in nothing else, I shall at least be truthful in saying that I am a liar.”⁸⁷ When you break God’s material or nonmaterial laws, fluctuation between necessary compliance and rebellious noncompliance with His laws produce the only option of hypocrisy.⁸⁸

Of course, the ramifications, Ⓐ and (dA), of those communications should be examined. The definition of a law is an unchanging rule established by an authority. If laws change, they are rules that generally set guidelines and are not laws. Laws allow for efficient scientific (observation, theory, proof) pursuit of knowledge. If they are abandoned, the Christian age of enlightenment and potential First World civilization is over. Observations and theorizing can no longer lead to a probable outcome. There is little point to attending a university or conducting research. There is little point to not living a chaotic, violent, and self-indulgent life. On the other hand, Seneca, (dA), said everything we see and everything we do not see is God.⁸⁹ Even Lucretius, Ⓐ, saw the need to observe “Nature’s Laws.”⁹⁰

Essence means ‘to be’ and function means ‘performance.’ To learn and adapt or mutate is performed within innate essence. For example, it is reasonable to observe a long-tailed cat in a room with rocking chairs has learned to avoid the pain of having its tail caught under a rocker and to prefer eating his favorite fish meal. Learning has caused the cat to foresee and avoid or pursue perceived similar circumstances—a gain of function, + f. The cat may flee when it hears a rocker moving and may come running when it hears a can of food opened. The cat did not evolve or change essence. Its DNA code remained the same so there was no gain of essence, ⌐ + ∃. It is not naturally possible to gain in essence as evolutionist believe for biology or the universe. The Bible explains people may gain in spiritual essence by becoming a new creature, after accepting Christ Jesus’ salvation.⁹¹ The biology remains corrupt⁹² but the new spiritual essence causes a biological gain of function.⁹³ Over time the spiritual essence will have learned and increase in gain of function⁹⁴ being renewed day by day.⁹⁵ Not only is truth learned, the false instruction or programming of untruth is learned. Systematically applying academic untruth, such as evolution, to other things leads to an increased rate of loss of gain of function and should be avoided.⁹⁶ For example, government systems based on evolution are communist, which historically cause great pain and death and will be avoided by those that directly and indirectly experience it as a real or synthetic topological dimension.

Systematic application of untruth, Ⓐ, is also learned by the less sophisticated, such as forming their hair into ‘dreadlocks,’ Medusa like snake hair, to comply with perceived biblical instruction to not bald the head⁹⁷ and their smoking of the mind-altering drug marijuana (called ganja by Rastafarians; a religion based on historically incorrect information, Haile Selassie, a descendent of Ham, was the returning Christ Jesus etc. because Christ Jesus is falsely believed to be a descendant of Ham and not Shem as the Bible prophesied and records occurred) for so-called spiritual rituals in violation of the spirit of biblical instruction⁹⁸ or injecting dye into amazingly created skin cells to say things like ‘born to die’ etc. or create pictures of human skulls etc. in violation of biblical instruction.⁹⁹ Those behaviors communicate a loss of gain of function, - f, from people who communicate they can not afford any intellectual loss of ability.

This last era of humankind is expressing an increased rate of available data. The rate of knowledge of that data by all intellectual abilities is increasing but slower than the availability—entropy.¹⁰⁰ The rate gap between lower abilities and higher abilities is growing, due to entropy of ‘least gets least’ and ‘highest gets more,’ is more often being communicated. The fields of data may fall within the knowledge categories of theology, history, science, mathematics, language, and health etc. If each field had a competence of 1 and incompetence of 0 several decades ago, today it is likely testing would determine the past 1’s would now be 0’s and the 0’s would now be 1’s expressing a loss of function. (See P versus NP dialogue.¹⁰¹)

Successive layers of human potential learning are modeled in deep learning computer systems. A hierarchy of concepts is approached by proceeding to higher and higher levels of abstraction. First, small patterns may be recognized. Then, those algorithmic patterns are inbuilt into larger patterns etc.¹⁰² Humans demonstrate an innate recognition of algorithms in music. A 12-part rhythm is derived from seven onsets (-) and five silent parts (:). They are divided into ratios which create - : - - : - : - - : - :.¹⁰³ Leonard Euler created a series of nodes or vertices connected with edges or links—a graph. A path goes through the graph so an edge is visited only once. If a start is begun from a node and the edge path returns to that node, it is a cycle. The benzene molecular structure is one such example.¹⁰⁴ Unknown DNA may be broken down into pieces and the fragments assembled into a sequence. A path that visits all edges only once indicates the initial DNA sequence.¹⁰⁵ Carl Hierholzer (1873) created the algorithm for that circuit.¹⁰⁶

Kishlay Jha and Aidong Zhang, computer science department at the University of Virginia, published (23 September 2021) an article titled Continual Knowledge Infusion into Pretrained Biomedical Language Models.¹⁰⁷ Biomedical language models are useful for biomedical natural language processing, such as entity recognition, relationship extraction, and question answering etc. A new learning approach is proposed that fuses semantic information from knowledge bases (KB) into pretrained biomedical language models. They model the hierarchical KBs and suggest a new knowledge modeling strategy that encodes their topological properties at the granular level. This approach updates the concepts representations to accommodate the new knowledge while preserving the memory efficiency of contextualized language models. The process has been validated in generating robust concept representations.

Machine learning is the use of human created algorithms to solve problems, such as searching for patterns and sorting, by learning from programmed examples. Christopher Vӧlter and Ludwig Huber, University of Veterinary Medicine (Vienna), suggests animals are surprised when virtual balls in computer animations violate Newton’s first law of physics, inertia (motion). They stare longer and their pupils widen if balls roll on their own rather than are set in motion by something else. Human infants share this violation of expectation around 6 months of age. Babies, chimpanzees, and dogs have an implicit understanding of their physical environment.¹⁰⁸

Understanding the mechanism of Divine created nature may enhance human created mechanisms. Montaigne said Plato, Ⓐ, believed “All things are produced either by nature, by fortune, or by art. The greatest and fairest by one or other of the first, the least and imperfect by the last.”¹⁰⁹ Sophocles, Aristotle, and Epictetus thought human nature was to be lorded over all other nature. Thomas Aquinas held a similar view based on biblical authority. John Locke indicated nature was only of value if man transformed it. Galileo and Descartes saw nature as a machine. Immanuel Kant, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Bertrand Russell, Ⓐ, believed nature had only the value man placed on it. Friedrich Nietzsche, Ⓐ, did not see nature as a machine but a source of eternal chaos without purpose, beauty or harmony. Petrarch believed nature was a sign of God’s providence with its own purpose. Aldo Leopold, ecologist, was a spokesperson for religious naturalism. Its key evolutionary components are the interconnectivity of all nature and the rejection of any supernatural realm.

Pythagoras gave the reason for his vegetarianism as all creatures being interrelated and Seneca abstained from eating animals for a short time to be frugal. He also avoided the effeminacy of taking hot baths¹¹⁰ and Greek pedophilia (child rape).¹¹¹ Thucydides (Pericles’ Funeral Speech) wrote “we are seekers of beauty…without unmanliness.”¹¹² Isocrates (Philip) wrote of Persian effeminacy¹¹³ and Demosthenes (On the Liberty of Rhodes) was embarrassed that the people of the city state Argos, whom he referred to as a woman, were not afraid.¹¹⁴ Philip II of Macedon,¹¹⁵ son of Amyntas III¹¹⁶ and father of the homosexual Alexander the Great, was assassinated allegedly due to turmoil between his homosexual lovers. Greco-Roman pedophilia was a seamless transition. Nero married his young male lover. Juvenal, Ⓐ, (Satire II) wrote of Nero and others homosexuality and effeminacy. He also referred to the Lex Scantinia de nefanda venere (The Sodomy Act) hypocritically enforced by Domitian. His descriptions of transvestite men are reinforced in Josephus’ The Wars of the Jews (4.9.10).

Sino-Roman communication exchanges first began around 2,000 years ago.¹¹⁷ China has had a long history of child rape documented in their writings and art.¹¹⁸ Japanese Samurai had a word for their pedophilia, wakashudō. In 2018, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison apologized to the numerous Australian victims of pedophilia for their ritual abuse by political, religious, educational, and scout leaders. Convicted child molester, Jeffrey Epstein catered to western world leader’s pedophilia, such as a former U.S. President, U.S. professors, U.S. federal politicians, and a Prince from England. Prominent on Epstein’s island was a temple to Baal/Moloch, seen below, designed for Satanic rituals, as witnessed by Elijah during his time.

January, 2022, USA Today¹¹⁹ joined the New York Times, Vice, and Salon etc. in publishing articles to normalize child rape. Employees at CNN and US intelligence agencies have recently been exposed as pedophiles but not prosecuted.¹²⁰ Today, China is changing biblical passages it disagrees with¹²¹ as seen in the west, especially in the U.S.

Ecology projects the view that nature has a right to exist apart from any human benefit. By extension, biodiversity has intrinsic value. The worship of nature, (dA), would include biodiversity. This belief is pantheistic and is supported in Hindu scriptures (dA). Buddhism, Taoism, (dA), beliefs of Native Americans, and Ralph Waldo Emerson¹²² included human unity with nature. In a sense, it is self-worship as they are “lovers of themselves…rather than lovers of God.”¹²³ Emerson used the Stoic¹²⁴ autarkeia (self-sufficient) focus, especially of Epictetus’ Enchiridion and Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations, on self-mastery¹²⁵ in his Self-Reliance. For example, art,¹²⁶ trust and self-approval,¹²⁷ mind,¹²⁸ conformity as slavery,¹²⁹ society,¹³⁰ harmony and symmetry,¹³¹ socializing,¹³² justice as truth,¹³³ prayer,¹³⁴ and fortune being self-made¹³⁵ etc. The Bible says “…we are not sufficient (Greek hikanǒs) in ourselves to claim anything coming from us, but our sufficiency (Greek hikanǒtes) is from God.”¹³⁶ Emerson referred to Lucretius’ writings¹³⁷ beginning his essay Love with Venus (Roman goddess of love) as Lucretius’, Ⓐ, poem De Rerum Natura ¹³⁸and wrote of Janus¹³⁹ (Roman god of beginnings), mentioned by Livy in The Early History of Rome, in his essay Friendship.¹⁴⁰ Seneca, (dA), wrote of nature,¹⁴¹ genius,¹⁴² art,¹⁴³ mind,¹⁴⁴ society,¹⁴⁵ friendship,¹⁴⁶ love,¹⁴⁷ justice,¹⁴⁸ truth,¹⁴⁹ prayer,¹⁵⁰ and fortune¹⁵¹ as well. Ironically, the ‘self-reliant’¹⁵² promoting Emerson practiced conformity.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam draw a firm distinction between humans and the rest of biodiversity. Karl Barth believed Christians should reverence life but take precedence over it as a moral responsibility. Pope Francis, Eastern Orthodox, and some other Protestant groups have rallied to reverse forest deforestation etc. This emphasis has not been perceived by nature worshippers to be fully publicly supported by American evangelicals.¹⁵³

It is estimated by nature worshippers, (dA), that biodiversity is not sustainable. They believe, with great trepidation due to a rejection of the Divine Creator, that humans are exploiting more than the earth can replenish. The existence of windmills and to some degree solar panels, called ‘idiot power,’ communicates a lack of understanding that, under normal circumstances of variables,¹⁵⁴ it takes almost as much energy to create them and maintain them than they produce. People know this in physics as entropy, Newton’s second law of thermodynamics, which can not be reversed by humans even with the theory of dark matter’s stabilization with dark energy (dark meaning unknown). Their hope is in the tyrannical One-World-Order United Nations, (dA), efforts for sustainable development.

In January 2022, The U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence sought research for “Disagreements Accurate Answers to Challenging Factual Questions” (ICPD-2022-18). The directive referenced the (2017-2019) work by Quanze Chen, University of Washington Seattle, et al., titled Cicero: Multi-Turn, Contextual Argumentation for Accurate Crowdsourcing. CICERO is a work flow process that engages people in multi-turn contextual argumentation for crowdsourcing accuracy. A study was cited where a brief discussion between two people who disagreed on the answer increased the rate of correct answers from 67% to 98.8%. The assumption is it is possible for most people, of similar IQ’s (specifically groups tested at around 120), to end up agreeing on facts if given the proper circumstances. History refutes this supposition.

Around 2,000 years ago an angel proclaimed to shepherds “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.”¹⁵⁵ Paul wrote peace requires justification by faith with God through Christ Jesus,¹⁵⁶ the only theocratic Mediator¹⁵⁷ of Truth¹⁵⁸ between God and man. He is the anointed¹⁵⁹ Messiah¹⁶⁰ King¹⁶¹ (symbolized by gold; Divine kingly power), Priest¹⁶² (symbolized by myrrh; Divine priestly anointing), and Prophet¹⁶³ (symbolized by frankincense; Divine prophetic communication).¹⁶⁴

Aurelius wrote of the entropy of common words and their writers. He said all is ephemeral, both memory and the object of memory.¹⁶⁵ Death and immortality were thus the concerns of the Stoics, such as Epictetus’ Enchiridion¹⁶⁶ and Aurelius’ Meditations.¹⁶⁷ All people fear death.¹⁶⁸ Job observed a tree may bud after it is cut down if it is not biologically dead. If a man is biologically dead, will he live again?¹⁶⁹ After death man will awake in everlasting life. Jesus demonstrated rising from the dead and communication after biological death.¹⁷⁰ The gain of essence or new birth of the believer before death is an act of God.¹⁷¹ Then, there is a gain of function.

Entropy proves that all material is within infinity and came from pre-existent non-material, i.e. justice, love, mercy, and redemptive forgiveness etc. Truth can be known of material because of the non-material is known in the same way of observation, theorizing, and proving. Redemption with the Creator can not be gained by finite man’s work to grow to equality with infinite God and self-creating the new essence. It would be prideful to compete with God for forgiveness and self-creation would require the impossibility of pre-existing one’s own self. Redemption must be by grace, then works are done by faith.¹⁷² Works are for God’s glory and are not in competition with God, which proves the gain of essence and function.

People groan within themselves¹⁷³ for deliverance¹⁷⁴ from the sinful corrupt corpse their spirits are temporally attached to and have an eternal gain of essence existence. God’s laws make man realize the eternal need for being forgiven. The law of sin and death is surpassed by the spirit of life in Christ.¹⁷⁵ The gain of function may be exemplified by a woman being faithful to the law of adultery regarding her husband but when the husband dies the law no longer is eternally punitive for that situation.¹⁷⁶ Each person that gains in essence by salvation is gifted for a gain of function. Gifts include prophesy, service, teaching, and exhorting etc.¹⁷⁷ The body of Christ is composed of members with different gifts. Since those gifts are Divine there need not be any entropy. Instead, there is a gain of function for each new member and the body. The algorithm of past 0’s are now 1’s. The overarching gain of function is described by all things working together for good for them that love God and are called according to His purposes.¹⁷⁸ Humans are born for community¹⁷⁹ and their institutions potentially gain in function by members that have gained in essence. They have the ability to use their Divine gifts humbly, selfishly, and truthfully for the glory of God. Institutions composed of members without a gain of essence may counterfeit their model but lack the Divine energy. The view of entropy is properly enlarged when circumstances include eternal considerations.

“The lips of the wise disperse knowledge…The heart of him that has understanding seeks knowledge…”—Solomon¹⁸⁰
