Occam’s Delusion

the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy thumbe up

Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

(Isaiah 29:14) KJV

We’ve demonstrated that Occam’s razor is a philosophical train wreck by comparing the assumptions necessary in heliocentric vs. geocentrospheric cosmologies and through the improbability of the origin of species by evolution.

Hell is Darkness, Heaven is Light

He sings before men and says:
‘I sinned and perverted what was right,
and it was not repaid to me.
He has redeemed my soul from going down into the pit,
and my life shall look upon the light.’

“Behold, God does all these things,
twice, three times, with a man,
to bring back his soul from the pit,
that he may be lighted with the light of life.

(Job 33:27-30) ESV

Creation has a purpose which combines the spiritual goal of separating good from evil with the physics of separating light from darkness. It gives us a unified theory of everything within the broad narrative of scripture.

The Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything

Then the Lord told me to say to the people, “Listen! I, the Lord, am giving you a choice between the way that leads to life and the way that leads to death.

(Jeremiah 21:8) Good News Translation

This life is our opportunity to experience sentient life. God is the source of this life and he’s made this obvious. However, he’s not going to make us believe a certain way. We’re free to believe whatever we want about life.

Purpose and Reason

Two dolphins with what look like big smiles.

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

(2 Timothy 1:9) KJV

Our devotional is called WHY? Why did God create the universe? In the process of answering this question we have deduced that creation has a purpose:

The purpose of creation is to bring about the permanent physical separation of light from darkness, day from night, good from evil.

– The Purpose of Creation

Set Your Heart and Soul to Seek the Lord

Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God. Therefore arise and build the sanctuary of the Lord God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord and the holy articles of God into the house that is to be built for the name of the Lord.”

(1 Chronicles 22:19) NKJV

Why are we here? Is there a reason why we exist? If there’s a reason, is there a purpose too? These are forms of what what we may euphemistically call the ultimate question to life, the universe and everything.

He, she, it: ה֣וּא – hu or hi

He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.

(Job 28:3) KJV

He, she, it: ה֣וּא – hu or hi

  • masc., fem., pron. 3 pers. sing.
    1. he, she, it
    2. this, that, same.

Davidson Analytical Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon page CLXX

This word begins Part B of a couplet. If Job 28:3 is a couplet, then an accurate translation of Part B should be the confirmation that we got Part A correct. Let’s look at the words used. First off, an easy one.

Nuclear Decay

“Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’

(Luke 19:24) NKJV

It’s impossible to prove that radioisotopes have always decayed at a constant rate throughout history, since the ability to detect and measure radioactive decay is only about 120 years old.
