This is one of those statements that does not stand up to the challenge. I submit that Christians can provide an accurate account of God. Why would you even make a statement like this?Grim wrote:The necessity of proof does not mean that there is proof of necessity.
Animal behaviour and human law is an oxymoron as humans are animals.
Morally god is/and has been "evolved" to suit contemporary aims, sort of like the business suit professionals today wear to the office, more a point of identification, a frame to hold society and culture within certain aesthetic boundaries. What is missed is the inability of a person to give a proper description of their identity. The christian can no more give an accurate account of their god, or faith than I can the back of my head when I look face forward into a mirror.
There were no castles in 1 AD or 100 AD for that matter. Another unsupportable statement.Grim wrote:In it's origin christian gods reflected people worship, the lord was the Lord of the nearby castle.
Is this your answer to why science rejects a Necessary Being? Because the universe is self-creating?Grim wrote:The hypothesized future point-of-agreement between religion and science fails to recognize that the Universal is never full; it is a priori empty. The Hegelian "appearance qua appearance" in the momentary is also the Kantian problem of the sublime. This acceptance of a post-virtual explanation that is promised as beyond normal scientific litigation, in much the same way politics is legitimized. The Hegelian "absolute Otherness" where knowledge and understanding become the physically liberating tool rather than scientific methods and discoveries is a system of metaphoric elevation, a stand-in for the Universal that Hegel sees as the only way for an Universal to come into existence: that is by positing its self as one. Here we note Hegel's fundamental break with Kantian idealism.
Zizek writes that "this is politics proper: the moment in which a particular demand is not simply part of the negation of interests but aims at something more, and starts to function as the metaphoric condensation of the global restructuring of the social space." The Ticklish Subject (p208) Relating those thoughts of the modification of the social to a proper power that aims at something more. So that the supreme Other (as both radical externality and pure internality of the authentic (non-bestial) human subject) is necessary in relation to science (diametrically radical internality of the system and the pure externality from the subject) in so far as people cannot be modified by design using science.[/quote]
But here you seem to imply that science creates the necessary being so which is it?
Does science eliminate the necessay being or create Him?
