Default If an Impact Destroyed Earth, would 'God' Care?




"Apparently with no surprise
To any happy flower,
The frost beheads it at its play
In accidental power.

The blond assassin passes on,
The sun proceeds unmoved
To measure off another day
For an approving God."


Nope!

Not at all, I believe if there is a god, 'He' would approve.

As the primary driving force for the evolution of all things is change.
The basic element of life and the universe is found in ...far...from
equilibrium systems, not near equilibrium. Events...random events
are required to fuel the dynamics needed to initiate self organizing
or evolving systems which define our material and living reality.

To the very core, it's randomness that is the source of all Creation.

After all, a totally disordered or random system has as it's future
only one possible direction, towards more order. As is shown in the
study of random boolean networks. Any random disturbance ...in a totally
disordered system...can only create more order than what existed before.
Cyclic order emerges spontaneously from complete disorder. So you see
chaos, as an initial condition and constant companion, is required to give
the universe a non-random future, an ....evolving future.

Where life is possible.

The notion of chaos or randomness should not be seen as an
obstacle to life and evolution, but as the ultimate impetus of
evolution or 'Creation'.

Pity, no tragically, our so-called modern sciences have been designed
around finding detailed certainty needed to make precise predictions.
When the simple truth of our universe is that the source of all existence
resides at the exact opposite of that, where certainty and predictability
are at minimum....randomness, chaos or complexity.

The bulk of our modern science is as backwards, as dark-age, as is
scientifically possible. Things like these super colliders, which seek
to take reducing to parts, or precision, to their limit, will serve as the
ultimate example of the complete backwardness of scientific thought today.

Incredible monuments to our ignorance of Nature and it's simplicity.

The 'answers' are found in clouds of uncertainty, not particles of precision.
Where one can't tell if it behaves as a wave or a particle, where neither
classical or quantum methods can fully describe the whole.
But only both at the same time.
As in a cloud, light or an emotion.

The ultimate 'equation' for reality is found in the one and only place
where no equation is possible.

That has to be the ultimate initial assumption of science.

Where science, religion and art are all one-in-the-same.
Without a single scientific language that can deal with all three
with equal consistency, we'll never crawl out of the cave.
Any one of them alone is fundamentally incomplete.

"Perception of an
Object costs
Precise the Object's loss.
Perception in itself a gain
Replying to its price;
The Object Absolute is nought,
Perception sets it fair,
And then upbraids a Perfectness
That situates so far."




Thanks for reading
