To test a hypothesis one must first consider the hypothesis could be true, though I don’t recommend testing God, which is likely why most Christian’s recommend belief and faith. It’s called a leap of faith for a reason.

Order exists in nature in patterns of Fibonacci retrace extensions and pi curves. Sin and Cos waves. Through these we can calculate what will be based on what current exists. Finding good historical data is difficult but when you do, it helps. There is order across time as well, likely before humanity existed. I once saw a thing when I was testing God, something like a vision of a place where I could not track patterns. No Fibonacci’s, no pi curves. Just pure horrific chaos.

Right. You’re onto something. So to test that you look for matches in religious text and concept with the known observable patterns in nature. Nature doesn’t have dogma as you put it, but it does have patterns, so let’s say if you were to have an unbiased AI or extremely curious human test each religions dogma for matches in how humans would thrive in what is seemingly the chaos of nature, they would find varying degrees of accuracy on the guidance provided by each religion.

Also to shorten the answer of who decides what is orderly: I’ve found the distilled answer is mathematics. Everything has mathematical parallels.

Sure. There’s no lies in mathematics if you consider it to be present moment calculations.

I’ll see if I can find a link to a video about the gap in primes, but it’s a really neat representation of how things grow in nature mathematically. As that gap between primes grows, even the void expands in a uniform manner, which illustrates order within chaos.

“Eat sea creatures only if they have fins and scales. No shellfish” (shellfish, oysters, clams, and the like are notorious for bacteria and parasites that make humans sick” After Jesus came and knew the gentiles would join the flock, the dietary rules changed. Jesus being God can see through time, knowing different humans evolved to eat different things. But cooking the blood out of meat and insuring longevity, fasting, things of that nature, absolutely do increase longevity and mental clarity

If you find yourself inclined to do the algebraic method of finding God. Look for breaks in patterns you’re observing. A break in the pattern that would be something like “An angel just told me not to eat pizza.” Would be a large break and worthy of analysis. Friend of mine recently had a dozen eggs and 9/12 had double yolks. Significant break in the normal pattern of store bought eggs, meaning a variable in the supply chain changed. If he wanted to solve the mystery, he could do the math.

Okay, so that isn’t objective morality. That is authoritative morality. You view him as the arbiter of morality, he decides what is and isn’t okay. And since you acknowledge that, that means that in your worldview there is a being that is exempt from rights and wrongs. But if they were truly objective, it would apply universally and nobody would be able to “change the rules” so to speak

We’ll consider you’re made in the image of God. I like the glove and hand analogy. A glove is meant to contain a hand just like you are meant to contain God. You can put other things in the glove but that’s not what a glove is for. God being all knowing, in everything, is going to know what the best things are to feed you, the behaviors to cultivate and avoid. So yes in a sense it’s like the authority of a parent that says “don’t eat those berries, those are poison” “eat those berries those 1/2

2/2 those berries are medicine. You could of course figure those things out for yourself without a parent telling you, but it’s immensely less painful to trust your parents did the math and know what berries are poisonous and which aren’t. Stretch that concept across time. Some things we eat slowly kill us in the wrong doses. Some things are poison but they kill parasites (nicotine)

You of course have free will to tell your parents or God you’re not going to listen to them and do whatever you want, but then you bear the consequences of whatever those actions are. Like the time stretch concept, sometimes the fallout of those decisions doesn’t land for decades. Sometimes the fallout of those choices lands on your kids and not you.

The analogies are really good, but the point stands. It isn’t objective if he’s deciding what is and isn’t okay. It’s not very “objective” if some authority figure is the one deciding. You can claim it is, but if that authority figure is exempt from an objective moral wrong, then it’s not objective as it wouldn’t have exemptions to its moral obligation

Actually technically it’s not just you who bears the consequences of anything negative you or I do, since we share the world, in a small way, everything you do affects me, everything I do affects you, everything we do affects the whole world in little or big butterfly effects. God, like any good parent grants us grace and will still come to our aid despite deviating from the guidance given, but it’s not wise to make it any more difficult on God to help you than it has to be. Common sense.

You’re correct. It’s not objective. It’s authoritative. One would hope, arguably pray, the absolute authority of all things in what we perceive as reality would be an authority that focuses on being a compassionate guiding force, that forgives us for our errors. It is still an authority, but a forgiving one.

And authoritative morality, as it stands is subjective morality that has been given a position of power. How does God determine what’s right and wrong?

I mean God wouldn’t need to be given anything. If you’re everywhere, in all things, and exist outside of time, there’s not a thing something like that would need to be given. From a limited human perspective, the best assessment how something like that would determine what is right and wrong is knowing what patterns yield what over time. If people spend their time torturing children on top of a pyramid because they think it will make the rain god happy, that’s an extreme example of 1/2

Okay that makes sense. So things like advocating for chattel slavery, that would be something that’s considered immoral in your eyes?

2/2 a repeated pattern of behavior that will yield additional suffering for not just more children, but the families of those children, etc. That’s a behavior that’s easy to see is wrong from a common sense perspective. Nuanced things like me testing how I feel wearing cotton and linen were crazy to me at first, but make sense if you study Tesla’s resonance concepts. Since God is all knowing, he’s not just going to give us guidance on diet and clothing, but how to treat one another.

Great point. Huge eye opener studying this. I don’t mean to alarm you when I point this out, but as we live right now, even the middle class of America is currently living in conditions that violate the Torah’s rules on slavery. (They could own land, were paid, had physical protections from being beaten, debt was limited to six years) The old system would be more like indentured servitude where you’re paid and protected. We witness gross violations and they call it other stuff. “Internships.”

Alright but to answer the question, it would be immoral to advocate for that?

Extremely immoral yes. It’s interesting studying the history of slavery and indentured servitude. Nearly every society that practiced it and didn’t relinquish freedom their slaves within 6 years, or pay them, or protect them, appears to have been cursed in some way since. My family (Slavs) experienced that first hand. It was only the Amish that abided by those principals when they got to American and worked on one of their farms as indentured servants. The amish seem to be doing fine.
