My novel view of Creation

Age of the Earth, Cosmos, and Life


I find myself outside the traditional camps of both YEC and OEC, while still being a staunch anti-macroevolutionist.



Here’s how my view diverges/converges:


1. I believe we are in an code-based (e.g., logic, math, genetics) externally rendered reality that resembles a procedurally generated virtual world with layered time/aging and occasional incursion (i.e., miracles) by the Designer


2. I hold to a literal 6 day-24hr Creation span with the cosmos generated on day 4 with actual age while the earth progressed on a 24 hour timeframe


3. I believe there was no death among animal kinds in the harmonious and ecologically balanced pre-Fall era, with carnivore attributes emerging in post-Fall species


4. I think significant time elapsed between Creation and the Fall, making it even more tragic and allowing for significant speciation (microevolution) among kinds.


5. I believe that the Flood was another layered aging event between geological (accelerated aging) and biological (standard Earth time) domains, with the breakup of Pangea into continents and the mass extinction of many species, including the warm-blooded reptiles (i.e., dinosaurs). This reconciles old-Earth geology with young-Earth evidence (e.g., soft tissue in fossils, out-of-place artifacts, radiometric inconsistencies)


I believe this novel approach harmonizes scientific evidence with a progressively revealed,  technologically informed framework that stays true to Scripture. 


This also accounts for the inevitable degradation of certainty and increasing interpretive flexibility as any worldview moves further away from its source events.


I look forward to thoughtful discussion.


Soli Deo Gloria!

Eckhart Tolle - Christian Response

Unbelievable! ...The extent man not founded upon Christ will go and follow in their quest and pursuit of self and attempts to explain away reality and sin. Here's Oprah's spiritual sage... Response: 1. He resurrects errors of the past which deny reality by seeking to replace it with forms. 2. By reducing the past to forms (or photo albums) he not only denies the reality of the past but the extent of it's connectedness and relationship to the present. This error he also translates in regard to the future. 3. He establishes a false premise that one can separate the reality of the present ("now") from reality itself, which he vests in onesself (though he inconsistently goes on to suggest that life is found in abandoning oneself) 4. He has no grounds or basis for assuming reality is found in self (and apart from everything else, or only what one want's to allow) 5. By denying the truth of God, he falsely asserts that the future is no longer problematic...

Logic Force Theory: A New Perspective on Reality (R=L+S→D)

UPDATE:  I'm in the process of revising the core formula to obviate the tensor component , testing against readily available data and seeking collaborators. # Author's Note The theory presented in these pages emerged from a simple yet persistent question: Why does mathematics so effectively describe physical reality? This "unreasonable effectiveness," as Eugene Wigner famously termed it, suggests a deep connection between logical necessity and physical behavior. Logic Force Theory (LFT) represents an attempt to explore this connection by positing that logical structure might be more fundamental than physical laws themselves. I present this theory not as a complete or final framework, but as an invitation to consider a different perspective on quantum mechanics. While LFT offers potential solutions to longstanding problems like the measurement problem and the quantum-to-classical transition, it also raises new questions and challenges. Some of its mathematical framewor...

Eckhart Tolle Christianity (Understanding Eckhart Tolle - Comparison / Difference with Christianity)

I believe it important that both believers and unbelievers understand the difference between the teaching of Eckhart Tolle and Christianity. Here's a brief post to introduce you to a few of the significant differences. (Note, I've just been exposed to Tolle, but it doesn't seem to take long to discern the differences) Context (the problem)Taken from here .: Despite Oprah and Eckhart's reduction of Christianity to but one "way" amongst many other equally legitimate ways to God, and their calling Christ a "revolutionary" who has been misunderstood by the Church, and who simply came to manifest "Christ-consciousness", a quick search through the internet reveals that many Christians are following Oprah in attempting to fuse together the teachings of Eckhart, and the doctrines of the historical Christian church. Great website to gain quick summary of Eckhart's beliefs/teachings: Ripples on the Surface of Being Key Responses by Eckhart To...
