—“Are you saying you support darwanism over Christianity or intelligent design?”—Mark E. Haney
1 – I cannot falsify evolution, and every single evidence from the fundamental structure of the universe to the imagination of man is a product of a very small number of possibilities in very great permutation, just as limited numbers of sounds, characters, and numbers can be arranged in infinitely complex permutations.
2 – The five rules of christianity are,logically, rationally(incentives), scientifically(empirically) the optimum prisoner’s dilemma (trust building) strategy, and I cannot falsify either or their relation. There is a reason christians are wealthier than competing cults.
3 – Information can only be stored in some memory or other, information stored must be abstracted (generalized) in order to consume less calories and volume that the original matter and its changes in state over time. I cannot falsify that statement – it’s a physical and logical impossibility.
As to what I ‘Support’:
I support truthful speech.
Truthful speech can only consist of what I can testify to.
I can only testify to that which is:
… – categorically consistent
… – logically consistent
… – empirically(observably) consistent
… – operationally consistent
… – rationally consistent
… – reciprocally consistent
where it is:
… – parsimonious
… – scope consistent
… – and fully accounted
… – within stated limits
and where
… – due diligence has been demonstrated,
and where
… – one’s statements are warrantied by restitution if one errs.
I cannot testify to anything other than.
1. Realism,
2. Naturalism,
3. Operationalism
Christianity survives under natural law as does all literature under natural law, in that the parables advocate natural law, despite being stated in language and grammar of myth, instead of the language and grammar of Testimony (law).
Deliver faith and obedience to any gods compatible with natural law. Deliver Truth, Duty, and Reciprocity to mankind because Truth, Duty, and Reciprocity ARE the natural law.
—“The point is, you don’t have to believe in anything supernatural to understand why natural law works. In fact, it hinders you. But as long as we both believe in the natural law, regardless of where it comes from, we can still be allies.
I have to have faith in that law to deliver but that’s all. You believe whatever you want but in reality, evolution is the most intelligent design possible.”—Martin Štěpán
