No, Theists, Theology Does Not Explain Cosmogenesis and Cosmology


Theology Does Not Explain Cosmogenesis and Cosmology

No, theists,
theology does not EXPLAIN cosmogenesis and cosmology in the least. It merely asserts without any verifiable evidence or proof that a deity or deities, called a God, god or Gods and/or Goddesses, declared or magicianed the universe and everything in it into existence and controls, or control, the behavior and fate of everything in it, whereas nothing, deities included, can do anything, including perform any movement or action or create, without energy, fundamental, pre-requisite, pre-existing, inherent, mutable, transformational, morphable energy, the essence, source and be all of any and all motion, action, kinetics, power and matter-materiality (the mc2 or mc^2 side of the energy and matter interchangeability equation E=mc2 or E=mc^2 tells us that [default] energy is required to change matter into energy and energy into matter). Energy, which empirically exists and has been empirically proven to exist everywhere, including in vacuum space, resides in its host of empirical foremost fundamental dimensional space, space-time. Nothing can exist beyond or apart from space-time because oxymoronically to exist beyond or apart from space-time is to [nevertheless] exist somewhere or someplace else, which inextricably and inescapably is still somewhere [else], thus space, and is still existence, in which mere existence, even that of dimensional space, is the fundamental state of being, which is the foremost and default state of time (that is to say, the state of mere existence or being of something is the foremost fundamental state of time of that thing, applicable to foremost fundamental dimensional space, space-time itself, everything and totality). In the absence of dimensional space, space-time, thereby and therefore rudimentary informational space, space-time mere existence, there can be absolutely nothing, not its distance, expanse, duration (which is measurable as a progression of overt, implied or covert motion or tenure of a thing, and can be finite, indefinite in part or overall or infinite and so entails the flow, thus energy flow, of existential and from-to structural or abstract time), nor its (space, space-time's) vertical, horizontal and depth axises, nor even its inherent therein fundamental energy and its energy's derivative matter, nor light nor darkness nor temperature (heat, cold, or neutral), nor any information, mathematics of things and the properties of things or geometry, etc. Likewise, there could not be any dimensionality, information or time without energy, and, thus, no space, space-time or time -- in this sense, energy is integral to dimensional space, space-time and time and the state of mere existence. The beginning had to have been and was an energy-action and evolutionary and developmental [process and] event for each and every thing. What, you might ask, came before energy? The answer can only be circularly that energy-action, the power-source, powerer-doer, is the technical, theoretical and logical-philosophical explanatory prime, default cause and causal-force [source].

That space, space-time can varyingly bend and warp by the presence, magnitude and geometry of mass in and acting on it and ripple and stretch from the action-reaction power, or recoil, effect of the collision and merger of black holes, neutron stars or a black hole and neutron star in it, and can expand-stretch faster than the speed of light from and shrink to or dwell in or at singularities, it exhibits itself to be energetic and may itself be a supreme, ultimate, boundlessly mutable form of energy. In addition, space, space-time geometry configures and is concurrent with and characterizes the particular identities of all things and the attributes, uniquenesses, differences and similarities as well as changes in and of all things.

Contrary to Some Mainstream-Source and Freelance Wrong Analyses in Explanation for the 11-05-2024 US Presidential Election Victory of Former POTUS Donald Trump Over VP Kamala Harris


Contrary to some mainstream-source and freelance wrong analysis proffering explanations otherwise for the 11-05-2024 US presidential election victory of former POTUS Donald Trump over incumbent VP Kamala Harris,

all of the major polls on the pending-US presidential election showed that the election was a toss-up that could break either way. Their earlier and election exit polls found that a majority of voters rated Trump a better manager of the economy than Biden and blamed Biden for the onerous, on the middle and under classes, high price inflation as well as said that they were economically better off when Trump was president than under President Biden, wrongly, either forgetfully, ignorantly or facetiously. In the few months before the election, Trump successively promised elimination of federal income taxes on 1) tip income, very important to and popular with workers in the hotel, restaurant, hospitality, cab and ride-fare and airport, plus, and luggage-handling services industries, 2) overtime pay, important to and popular with all of the preceding workers as well as, regularly, to and with police and firefighters, factory, store, construction and office workers, and, periodically, hospital, fed, state and municipal civil-servant, tax-season and school and professional sports-event workers and 3) on Social Security Insurance retirement system pensions, important to and popular with Social Security Insurance system pensioners and those near retirement, both men and women for all categories, wherein such federal-income-tax- free income would result in a large increase in income to the beneficiaries monthly and annually, permanently. (The problem with the tax-free Social Security pensions, if legislatively approved by both houses of the US Congress and signed into law by President-elect Trump after he is inaugurated as US President on 01-20-2024, is that the heretofore federal income taxes on them were systemically and continuously recycled back into the Social Security retirement system trust fund to help sustain the Social Security retirement program permanently. If and when they are gone, their disappearance. their loss, may or would hasten the breaking-point solvency issue with the whole program, for future thereafter paid-in, eligible recipients.)

For a long time preceding the 2024 US presidential election, the MAGA media network deliberately and falsely attributed the state of highly inflated prices to President Biden and his Presidency and the falsehood that households were economically better off under the Trump Presidency than the current Biden Presidency, whereas objective recent economic history records that this situation as well as the drastic downturn in the US economy that resulted in massive business failures, unemployment and major shortages of essential goods in stores, most memorably and dramatically toilet paper, and soaring prices, as well as in more than 775,000 Covid-19 pandemic caused deaths in the USA, resulted both from the initial downplaying and mismanagement of the Covid-19 pandemic in the USA by the Trump Presidency in 2020 and its pass-along tariffs on foreign imports to USA importers and consumers, increasing the prices of products, materials, components and parts imported from exporters-suppliers and sold or otherwise used by respectively USA importer-retailers and importer-product producers. Also, the record shows that the Biden Presidency has remediated all of the problems, though not returned high prices to what they were in the pre-inflationary period, which has never happened in economic history, but has, in conjunction with the Federal Reserve Bank, reduced the rate of inflation to almost the FRB default goal rate of 2%. Before the election and in the exit polls a large percentage of voters were parroting MAGA-media propaganda, that had become gaslighted false belief to them, about the source and state of their difficult economic situation and referring to it as their reason for voting for Trump over Harris, in which they associated President Biden's VP Harris with Biden's mistaken blameworthiness for their difficult economic situation.

Crossover voters from these constituencies, across age, gender, ethnicity and race, aligned to become voters for the Trump 2024 presidential candidacy (motivated moreover by Trump's stated promised political-economic incentives) and added to Trump's secure, solid-core circa MAGA-GOP & GOP 33 to 40% bloc of the voting electorate, with GOP defectors of conscience turned away from voting for Trump. Their numbers offset the GOP rejectors and defectors of the GOP's Trump candidacy and were much more than enough in numbers to give Trump the margin of victory he needed and obtained to be elected US president on US presidential election day of 11-05-2024.  Although Trump won the election's crucial and deciding Electoral College vote by a wide margin, by 86 votes (312 for Donald Trump vs. 226 for Kamala Harris), he won the popular vote, quite as the major pre-election polls predicted, by a near toss-up, yet-definitive margin, of 1.3% (77,137,560, or 49.9% of, votes for Trump, vs. 74,703,910, or 48.3% of, votes for Harris) -- he did not win a majority of the popular vote but won a plurality of the popular vote:  US presidential election results 2024: Harris vs. Trump | Live maps, charts and the latest vote count (reuters.com) .  As of the date of 12-04-2024, vote counting continues in some locations in the USA, trending with increasing ratio numbers for Harris and decreasing ratio numbers for Trump that are far too few when counted in total to either change Trump's Electoral College vote-count victory or popular-vote election victory, but are enough to lessen the margin of his popular-vote victory by a tenth or more or less of a percent.

President-elect Trump’s 1) proposed Department of Government Efficiency (referred to simply as DOGE), proposed by him to be led by the world’s both richest person and billionaire Elon Musk, with a likely termination-exempt and irreducible multibillion-dollar, annually, space-services-program contract, or more, with the US Government, paid in taxpayer income tax dollars, and mega-millionaire Vivek Ramaswamy, with a fortune of circa less than a hundred million-dollars short of a billion dollars, whose assigned task is to vilify and/or delegitimize as corrupt, superfluous and wasteful in spending and strip down to a minimum the public services agencies and programs, for most of the USA plutocracy-oligarchy their loathed administrative public services state (whose generationally traditional idea has been and is that with its demise, tax money from the plutocracy-oligarchy will no longer be needed and called for to support it), of the federal government to save expenditures of taxpayer tax money in the name of federal fiscal discipline and efficiency, and 2) his proposed large and wide-ranging tariffs on imported products, in effect a national sales tax on imports and domestically made products that use imported components and parts, etc., that hike the price of domestic retailer products for sale and the costs of domestic producer products and the prices of their wholesale sale to domestic businesses and consumers and thereby fuel domestic price inflation, but, nevertheless, are a major source of revenue to the federal government,: are apparent actions or measures to give and pay for tax cuts, possibly the aforementioned ones but most probably the renewal of those scheduled to lapse on corporations and the rich investor class in 2026, though probably not the renewal of those on the middle and lower-income classes previously given in same tax-cut package under the previous Trump Presidency of 01/2017 to 01/2021. In this way, so to say, with one hand he gives federal budget-busting  tax cuts and with the other hand he alternatively, via a quasi-national sales tax under the veil of variable tariffs, as opposed to a uniform tariff, on their export-import products of and across tariffed exporter nations to the USA, raises federal tax revenues in an attempt to pay or meaningfully pay for the hugely federal-deficit-increasing tax cuts, in net effect at the cost of domestic price inflation and to the loss of government services agencies and their services and programs for the benefit of the public overall, including an array of public and separate consumer protection services, and the social safety net programs for the underclass and possibly at the loss in the sell off to big-money lobbying and crony interests of federal government, nationally and commonly taxpayer-owned, lands, with the invaluable assets therein and thereon, and other highly valuable national assets of all kinds.

Greed is insatiable and is ruthless, rapacious, barbarous and cannibalistic. Perceive, comprehend and remember the living, unfolding lesson of the returning reign of the cult and regime of greed, whoever can.
