Browsing the Logosphere

The field of mimetics depends upon god's revelation (of Himself) in creation. It's more than a metaphor to say researchers are reading God's book of creation; this is literal truth.

Quotes and comments;

1. 'We all know how they crawl, but did you know caterpillars invented the wheel? “Some caterpillars have the extraordinary ability to rapidly curl themselves into a wheel and propel themselves away from predators,” the article said. “This highly dynamic process, called ballistic rolling, is one of the fastest wheeling behaviours in nature.” [1.]

- How is it that with this example in front of them some civilizations didn't invent the wheel? Was it because they didn't notice it? Didn't make a connection to human locomotion? because they didn't think creatively? because the wheel was forbidden? God gave them all the help they needed; even if they didn't take advantage of it.

To study a creature is to read the mind of God; or let's say, to acquaint yourself with with one of His thoughts (to acquaint yourself at least partially with divine intelligence.) God gave us all the information we would ever need, when he created the world we (by his grace) live on. The creation is the greatest library ever assembled; and it's free for every man, available to every child. You don't need a library card, all you need is eyes and ears.

We are all creationists; the only difference between the Christian and the materialist is that the christian gives God the credit for the biosphere (the Logosphere as I like to call it) and the materialist does not. We live within God's revelation of himself; we ''live, move and have our existence'' within a steady stream of intelligently composed information. We live within God's mind made incarnate.

I believe this library contains all the knowledge man needs to survive and thrive on planet earth; even knowledge such as that needed to predict earthquakes and avoid them. God has provided for our every need. That we neglect and abuse this gift is no fault of His. If man would rather spend his days high on hallucinogens rather in study of creation is no fault of god's. That man would rather waste his time in hedonistic pursuits than study is man's fault alone. Man has suffered greatly from disease and famine down the millenia, but it has been his own fault; due to his own lack of diligence and study.

"All the treasures of wisdom are found in Christ,'' wrote the apostle Paul, echoing earlier Biblical writers, who wrote of the great wisdom with which god had created the world.) Most of what we call natural evil has not be the fault of god, but the fault of man. (The 'evil' that isn't directly the fault of man, through ignorance, sloth, etc. is the the result of the Fall, which was caused by man's rebellion. eg. mutation.) [2.]

Praise and worship is the only proper response to this great gift; to this great gift giver. (No teacher ever did a fraction as much for his or her students. No lesson has ever been as inspiring as the one God gives all of us every day.) God is our source of wisdom; both creaturely and divine. He is our teacher and our judge; our prophet, king and savior. If man doesn't affirm God's existence it's because he's spiritually dead; poisoned by his own sin and rebellion.

2. Is it possible to create a world that doesn't suffer from mutations? I don't know. God (who is infinitely wiser than any of us) tells us 'death' came by sin, so I have to assume that it is possible, even though I don't see how. (I take the position that when Genesis speaks of death coming by sin it's referring strictly to humans.) There's much we can't be certain about at the present time, and may never know for sure.
3. The Logosphere is a data stream that had/has an intelligent source, and that is intelligible.
