Pillars of Atheistic Naturalism: The Big Bang! !

 There are 2 possibilities, for the origins of life and the universe:

Intelligent Design

Atheistic Naturalism

To which i have assigned the more colorful descriptors:

Goddidit!

Nuthindidit!

So, what are the 3 pillars of atheistic naturalism?

The Big Bang 

Abiogenesis 

Common Ancestry 

I offer a peer review, of the scientific evidence and assumptions made in these 3 pillars of faith, in the ideological worldview of atheistic naturalism.

Let us examine the science behind the assumptions made in these theories.

The Big Bang

According to this theory, all matter and energy were somehow compressed into a 'particle', then exploded instantaneously to fill the visible universe. It is alleged that this is a cyclical process, that has been going on for eternity. It also has the same look and feel of a creation event, where an Almighty Creator spoke and formed the universe ex nihilo.

In order to come together, all matter would have to overcome the inertia from the previous bang, and somehow compress into a particle. Can this be observed? Can we repeat, even at a smaller scale, the processes behind this assumption?

No. This is a fantastic leap of faith, with no scientific validity.

Has this 'expansion' ever been observed, repeated, or tested in any way? No. It is a wildly imaginative theory, with no empirical basis.

Entropy is also contrary to this theory. Entropy is a repeatable, observable scientific principle that drives everything to randomness and chaos, not order and complexity. There is no mechanism or process that can overcome entropy, to compress, organize, or arrange all matter and energy into a particle, or any imaginative form. Dissipation and chaos, is all the universe offers. Even if you posit an initial 'big bang!', inertia, energy dissipating throughout infinite space, and decaying orbits would have left the universe dark, dead, and cold, eons ago.

This is just one pillar, that holds up the unsteady belief in atheistic naturalism. I will examine the other 2 in subsequent articles, for the entertainment and amusement of the reader.

These 3 pillars are the Trinity of atheistic orthodoxy. They are the legs of a stool, that supports the full weight of atheistic ideology. If even one fails, the basis for atheistic naturalism collapses. All 3 have no scientific basis, nor repeatable, observable science behind them, but are leaps of faith. It is only by constant propaganda and Indoctrination, from progressive institutions, that the belief in atheistic naturalism has grown, and has become so pervasive among the world's religious beliefs.

Pillars of Atheistic Naturalism: Abiogenesis

 Abiogenesis is another of the trifecta.. the Trinity of beliefs that provide the basis for atheistic naturalism.

In a previous article, i examined the 'Big Bang', as the First Cause of the origins of the universe. This article is about the First Cause of life. ..the origin of life.

Abiogenesis is the belief that life can spontaneously form, under the right conditions. A primordial soup of ingredients, mixed together in just the right way, then nudged by some spectral wave, heat, light, or other catalyst will, the belief says, result in primal life.

Unfortunately, man has not been able to animate life, in myriads of experiments over thousands of years, even with our ability to split the atom, and splice genes in the laboratory, the origins of life remain a cosmic mystery. NOTHING resembling 'life', has ever been 'created' by man. We have produced a few proteins, under rigorous laboratory conditions, but not even a one celled organism.. nothing like self replicating life.

If life were a simple scientific phenomenon, we could use scientific methodology to break it down, repeat the factors necessary to create it, and unravel the mystery of life. But alas! Life is not explainable by science. It is here. It teems on the earth, but nowhere else, to our knowledge. We think it a common, ordinary thing, and it is, but its origins are unfathomable to the rational mind.

If life could easily be created, by natural processes, one could believe in atheistic naturalism as a possibility for our origins. But life CANNOT be explained by atheistic naturalism. Only an Intelligent Power, able to create life, matter, space, and the entire universe, could have Authored Life. It is impossible for life to appear in a godless universe. There is no mechanism or scientific principle to generate it. Without the Creator, life is impossible.

Abiogenesis is an unscientific belief. It has no evidence of possibility, and EVERY experiment attempted by man has failed to produce life.

Yet atheistic abiogenesis is taught.. no, INDOCTRINATED, into gullible youth from infancy. It is DECLARED, with no evidence at all, that life began spontaneously, in some distant primordial ooze, and we 'evolved!' to what we are today. This fantastic religious belief has no basis in fact or scientific methodology, yet it is mandated as a belief. It is the Official State Religion.

This pillar of atheistic naturalism, that provides the ideological basis for Marxism, communism, and Progressivism, is contrary to the American principles of a Creator, endowing man with unalienable rights, and equality. It is at the root of the destruction of America. It is not a benign religious opinion.

The existence of life is compelling evidence FOR the Creator. It cannot be explained by atheistic naturalism.

The Big Bang

Abiogenesis

Common Ancestry

..these are the 3 pillars of atheistic naturalism. But they are unscientific hoaxes, to divide people from their Maker. Don't be a dupe to progressive propaganda. Science and Reason are useful tools of discovery. Use them.

The Pathway to Oligarchy



1. Declare the currency. Destroy hard assets, and make fiat acceptable.

2. Use monopoly to destroy the competition. Eliminate small businesses. ..under pretense of 'Public Safety!', if necessary.

3. Manipulate the markets and the currencies, like Soros, Gates, Bezos, and a growing cadre of financial sector puppet masters.
4. Create bubbles, to crash the housing markets and other sectors, to move wealth from the middle class to the oligarchs.
5. Pretend there is a distinction, or 'checks and balances!', between billionaire tech moguls, govt, wall street, the press, media, academia, and banks. Create an unholy alliance to 'buy' the Experiment in self rule, with these elements in complicity.
6. Distract, divide, delude, and dilute the citizens with open borders, 'racism!', lies and empty promises.
7. Construct a massive propaganda machine, employing useful idiots, like slebs, journalists, and runway models to instruct us in economics, science, and morality.
8. Infiltrate the courts, law enforcement (from the top down), and prosecutors to ignore real crime, while converting it to a tool of oppression against the citizens. Destroy and defund any real Law and Order.
9. Promote drug dependency, and addled perception. Keep the citizens in a drugged stupor, and subservient.
10. Overload our infrastructure with cloward/piven strategies, corruption, and runaway spending.
11. Transfer wealth from the producers: manufacturers, farmers, builders, etc, to money shufflers.
12. Indoctrinate atheistic naturalism as our 'Source'. Censor, mock, and ridicule any concept of the Creator. Lay the foundation for elitism, govt worship, rights as govt granted privileges, and subservience.
13. Fan flames of hysteria and outrage, creating bogeymen to instill fear and division.
14. Control the information. Censor any opposition. Create narratives and propaganda memes.

These are not new strategies, but they have been used successfully by progressives to destroy America. We can bitch and moan about it, but that won't change things. Patriotic Americans are a fading minority, and 3rd world dependency and subservience are the 'New! Improved!' American Standard. It has been a slow erosion of the principles of America, going back to the late 1800s. There was a brief pause, during the Big War, but revived with renewed passion in the 60s, and growing unrestrained until now.

We don't have to wonder what will happen. It has already happened.

Evidence for the Creator: Human Consensus

 Truth is not a democratic process. Truth is true, whether we believe it, know it, understand it, or not.

In the sphere of the human experience, a belief in a spiritual, metaphysical realm is a constant, across lines of time, region, culture, race, and religion. There may be different perceptions, as described by the old Hindu tale, 'The Blind Men and the Elephant,' but the reality of the Elephant is not in question.

For all of human history, there are too many instances of interaction with a spiritual dimension to dismiss. People from every time and region have testified to an encounter with 'something,' whether they defined it dogmatically or not.

I have no statistics, but i observe, that even in communist countries, where atheism was/is the mandated worldview, where theists are subjected to re-education and persecution, belief in a Supreme Being was/is still prevalent. Even now, after DECADES of mandated belief in atheistic naturalism, people in communist countries are embracing God, as the Source of all things. They seem to 'feel it', in their innermost being. Every major culture has acknowledged some kind of Divine, Spiritual Entity, or dimension, with a soul that lives on after death, morality, and sometimes accountability for 'bad' actions.

The more successful cultures have clearly defined Deity(s), with moral standards, and acknowledged Him/Them in their daily lives. The only historical atheistic cultures i know of were the communist ones in the recent era, and they were short lived. It seems that indoctrinating people to believe in random chance and godlessness isn't as effective as indoctrinating them into a Deity based worldview.

That will spell the end for the current progressive Indoctrination, too.. imo. But like other collectivist fantasies and utopias, previous failures won't deter them.. 'We'll get it right, this time!' 

So, along with the consensus of humanity as 'evidence' of a Supreme Being, i submit the efficacy and success of societies that acknowledge the Creator as evidence FOR a Creator.

This is a scientific and logical analysis of the phenomenon of human consensus. It is one evidence of many, of a Creation Event, and conflicts with the model of atheistic naturalism.

Evidence for the Creator: Conscience

 Definition of conscience:


Dictionary.com: the inner sense of what is right or wrong in one's conduct or motives, impelling one toward right action.

Merriam's: the sense or consciousness of the moral goodness or blameworthiness of one's own conduct, intentions, or character together with a feeling of obligation to do right or be good.

Cambridge: the part of you that judges how moral your own actions are and makes you feel guilty about bad things that you have done or things you feel responsible for.

The conscience can ONLY be real, if it was embedded by the Creator, or some Entity with the ability to instill moral imperatives within the psyche of man.

In a godless universe, the conscience can only be a man made construct.. platitudes to control people, with arbitrary rules that manipulators convince people have been instilled by a mythical God.

Perhaps you have heard some atheists boast, 'I don't need some God to scare me into doing right. I have a keen sense of right and wrong, and follow my conscience, not the commandments of God.'

But HOW can there even be a conscience, in a godless universe? There can be no moral absolutes, nor any standard of good and evil.

You do what you think best, and i do what i want. Your opinions about what is 'good' is no better or worse than mine. Hitler is no better or worse, in a godless universe, than Mother Theresa, or someone who dedicates themselves to help people, altruistically.

'I don't like murder, or racism, but i like chocolate!'

'I think eliminating inferior, or useless members of society is good, and i like artichokes!'

Moral imperatives, in a godless universe, are just arbitrary choices, in a vast smorgasbord of amoral platitudes.

People live. People die. The universe is a cosmic accident, with no 'higher' purpose, and no moral imperatives. That is the only conclusion, IF.. this is a godless universe.

But do we observe this, in the human experience?

No.

We observe human beings, of every imaginable philosophical beliefs, following the dictates of CONSCIENCE. Humans, as a whole, follow their moral compass, and try to keep a clear conscience. Even those who don't are viewed as 'evil!', 'sociopaths!', and aberrations in humanity, that should be incarcerated or eliminated from society.

It is irrational, and implausible, to believe that the conscience is a man made construct, indoctrinated by familial, social, or cultural platitudes. It is too universal and homogeneous, in the human experience, to posit that this inner sense was just 'suggested' by human manipulators, to control people.

THEREFORE, the conscience.. this universal sense of absolute right and wrong, could have only come by a Creator, Who embedded it in man as a moral compass, to guide his thoughts and actions.

This is clear evidence for the Creator. Many other such evidences exist, that compel a logical, scientific conclusion for the existence of a Creator, as the source and Cause, for our existence.

Evidence for the Creator: Entropy

 The law that entropy increases—the Second Law of Thermodynamics—holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. — Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington

'Entropy' broadly means tending towards chaos constantly. ~Sid Sriram

The most obvious, proven, repeatable scientific principle is that of entropy. EVERYTHING in the universe increases in randomness and chaos, not order and complexity. Another force must act upon matter to put it in order. It does not happen by chance.

Entropy is simply the observable reality that all things tend towards randomness, unless acted upon by an intelligent, ordered force. Even things put into ordered complexity will decay into random disorder, if not maintained by an orderly force.

The origin of the universe had to have an ordered, intelligent force to begin. In a godless universe, all matter, order, and complexity we see now would have dissipated into random equilibrium.. cold, dead, lifeless matter, expanding eternally through infinite space and darkness. All stars would have burnt out eons ago, and planets, systems, and galaxies would be drifting endlessly.. no order.. no life.. only random chaos dissipating any semblance of order. There is NOTHING to 'arrange' the universe into galactic order, in a godless universe.

Life would be impossible, in a godless universe of eternal entropy. The complexity of living things, the blueprint of their design, and the visible order of the universe providing an island of ecosystem, in a harsh, lifeless universe, flies in the face of every natural law, which would have left everything cold, dark, and dissipated. The stars, orbits, galaxies, and EVERYTHING orderly in the universe cannot be explained by natural processes. What, (or more precisely, Who), overcame the universal, dissipating force of entropy, and ordered this universe into a small dot of livable possibility? The amazing complexity of life becomes absudly impossible, without an Intelligent Designer to order these things.

The Creation model explains entropy, cosmology, and the beginnings of life very well, and is congruent with the facts. Atheistic naturalism has no mechanism to overcome entropy, to either create life (abiogenesis), increase complexity (universal common ancestry), or cosmic origins (big bang). The obvious HUGE problem of Entropy, as a dissipating force in the universe, is ignored, for some magical, wishful thinking process, that is not defined, observed, or subject to scientific inquiry.

..neither atoms, nor compounds, nor chemical reactions are immune from the effects of entropy. Entropy rules, in our universe, with an iron fist. Nobody and nothing can escape its reach, and the simple fact of universal entropy makes the big bang, abiogenesis, and common ancestry impossible. There is nothing and nobody, in a godless universe, to 'create' order from randomness and chaos. There is nothing and nobody to 'create' life, and the amazing complexity and diversity we observe. ONLY an Intelligent Designer, with Extra-Natural Ability, could have ordered the universe, winding down, as it is, under the inescapable effects of Entropy.

"..if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation." — Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington

Symptoms of Progressive Indoctrination

 

Progressivism is not new. It is an ages old ideology, repackaged, named euphemistically, and driven into the citizenry through State sponsored propaganda.


Here are a few of the symptoms of progressive Indoctrination. It has not only infected academia, and other left wing ideologues, but is rampant in conservative circles, Republicans, and church people.

Declared Truth. Scientific methodology, due process, Reason, and any systematic examination of facts is rejected in favor of declared, or mandated Truth. It is not truth, of course, but carefully spun lies, driven into the gullible masses by dedicated ideologues and a constant, unwavering propaganda stream.

Censorship. Reasoned discourse, debate, and open examination is forbidden, among progressive indoctrinees, in favor of memorized dogma. Any.. ANY.. who depart the Approved Tenets of belief are bullied, censored, attacked viciously, and castigated with smears, like 'Hater!' 'Denier!', etc. Censorship is widely used to protect the Official Belief System, and prevent doubt among the faithful.

Hatred. Any outliers from the progressive status quo are viciously attcked, and caricaturized as irrational, unscientific fools. It is used to intimidate the faithful, as a warning: Do not leave the Fold. To be part of The Group, loyalty is required. Any questioning of the belief or mandates from the hidden, mysterious progressive elite, is considered Treason, and any outliers are vilified as enemies.

Examples:

The 2020 election. Progressive indoctrinees do not want to examine evidence, and are forbidden to do so. They can only repeat their mantras: "This was the safest, most secure election ever!" Piles of evidence.. testimonies, videos, statistics, and blatant, obvious corruption within some districts is ignored.. dismissed with a hand wave.. and the mantra repeated, so the indoctrinees do not lose faith.

Global Warming! Data is contrived, imagined, and 'Experts!' are presented with.. NOT Science or Reason.. but declared belief, obscured with the appropriate tecno babble, to deceive the gullible. Any in the scientific community who depart the global warming reservation are hunted down and ruined.

Choose your Identity!  Biological facts.. Chromosome combinations, and common sense, are dismissed for the belief that you can choose your gender, race, and even species. Men masquerade as women.. girls.. to beat the fairer sex in physical competition. White people pretend to be black, for a perceived advantage. Accepting, and living within the limitations you were born with is ridiculed.

Hunter Biden's Laptop. This was known about by the justive department, but covered up to defeat Trump and deceive the American people. The NY post printed an exposè, which the complicit media, Democrats, and other co-conspirators against America.. bought and paid for by billionaire tech moguls.. censored, ignored, or falsely accused as 'Russian Disinformation!'

Common Ancestry. This one goes very deep, as the propaganda for it has been blaring for decades.. nearly a century. It is the belief.. mandated by all progressive institutions, that all life forms 'evolved' from a single celled amoeba, and usually includes atheistic abiogenesis, that life began spontaneously, through natural processes, not from a Creator. It is the ideological basis for Progressivism, and is foundational to all other beliefs. It implies amorality, situation ethics, 'the ends justify the means', and is the cover needed to justify lies, violence, bullying, and censorship, from progressive ideologues.

There is much more. But the symptoms of progressive Indoctrination are clearly evident. Mandated belief.. assertions rather than reason.. censorship, and seething hostility are the first, and obvious, symptoms of progressive Indoctrination. If you are 'triggered', into these reactions, in a pavlovian response, beware! The Indoctrination goes deeper than you know. No one in this modern era has completely escaped it.

Progressivism is a return to the Dark Ages.. an abandonment of Reason, due process, and scientific methodology. It is an ideology of despotism, and has all the similarities of tyranny in the past. It is anti-freedom, anti-American, anti-christian, and anti-human. It will only lead to death, slavery, and oppression.
