Atheism/re: dual nature of existence

Advertisement


Question
The one truth that is an axiomatic determinant in the universe is that organization and disorganization exist!  Also another axiomatic truth, relating only to organization, is the determinant (for whatever reason or not)of survival and procreation.  Do you see within organization this dual nature of good (that which promotes organization) and evil (that which promotes disorganization)?  Do you see that survival is the bases of all that motivates us, including the creation of various religions to allow our self perception (ego), and those of our friends and family, to exist after death?

Answer
At the end of the day 'evolution' at any system level is because of a system's going through four basic interactions of gravity, electromagnetic, strong and weak. When we quantum jump to the next interactions' center we begin to organize there and disorganize at the previous. So organization and disorganization are not really good and evil but essential parts of the process of 'evolution.'

Moreover, the aim of any system including the universe is to free itself or unwound itself from four basic forces. Procreation and survival are necessary till the system under question gets unwound from them in full and not for the sake of procreation and survival par se. So it is not really survival which motivates us but the fact of our having to go through four fundamental interactions at since big bang in the case of the universe and our birth in our cases.

Admittedly an unheard of explanations but they have just come out with the publication in Sept of my book Self Designed Universe. If you are more interested look for that at www.amazon.co.uk. Or look for its summary at

Thanks.

I can answer all questions about God, spirituality, even the spirituality of an atheist, about existence in general, about why there is suffering, about why there are two opposite aspects of life like love and hate, pain and pleasure at all levels in life etc etc. I have experienced that God is One like the top of a mountain is One and all disciplines of knowledge inclusing science, philosophy not to talk of mysticism take us to that same One though through different routes and all can eventually take us there as all finally coalesce there. Then there is only One, scientists call it by one name, philosophers by an other and mystics by still an other. So I can answer questions on all aspects of the Game of Life.
