Yes Walker, I get your point. The point I am making is that even if a god were to perform some tricks, there is nothing it could do that human creativity or madness could not attribute to another cause.
Obviously, you need a point sharpener to shape up that dull observation. Your search begins now.
Attribution of a cause does not define the cause, although any particular attribution will correlate to cause due to the natural law of Six Degrees from Kevin Bacon.
This is because any particular action or phenomenon, once it occurs, has been caused by all causes in the past and the present. In other words, any thing is caused by all things, however distant the link-of-cause in the chain of causation. However, any particular element can rise in prominence at any moment, and if man but had the Godlike capacity to account for every element present in a condition as it relates to every other element in that condition in constant flux of elemental combinations, then the inevitable interplay of these elements would be the future, apprehended in the present, which is how the three times compress into one.
Man clumsily attempts this by assigning a significance to each element, based on learned knowledge of each element. That’s a good start, much as Lincoln Logs were a start for titanium structures, however it does not account for every combination of relationship. This is simply because not every element present can be detected, and because the significance of each particular element is in a constant flux to shifting to account for, however when frozen in time, results in separating the situation from the flux which becomes a static analysis combined with fantasy of what reality should be … which by the way, describes the dynamic process employed for the climate-model predictions of the computer gamers. Add to this what we all know, that the separation caused by observation removes the crucial flux that determines the inevitable future, at any particular moment.
How does this relate to the mouse demanding proof of the lion’s existence, from the lion? Well, the lion could eat the mouse at any point while the mouse was managing to squeak his demands and protests in his last moments, but what would that prove? Such a process is merely the way of nature, which btw some folks say is proof enough, but that’s beside the point. Lions usually don’t go chasing mice because of the net energy loss, and since the life-force in lions is not entropic and in fact counters entropy, and since lions are not led by delusion, it’s simply not worth the effort.
The point is, proof is always taken as the last link in the chain of causation, the link that is recognizably closest to the moment in question, (keeping in mind that “recognizable” is determined by bias), a moment which becomes nothing more than an abstract concept favouring bias since selective observation has removed it from the flux, a process as was previously mentioned.
For example, the lion asks the lion, what’s the proof that you were hungry? And the lion answers, because I ate the mouse. That is proof enough for the lion even though it is the last link in his reasoning capacity that allows him only a glimpse of the totality of mind because he can’t eat the elephant that’s larger than he … a last link that is linked to all the causes leading up to his hunger, including the pain of his mother’s birthing and even further back in the chain.
Which leads us to the real point of the here and now linked to the context.
To sharpen up this simple, dull point into some shape of relevance,
Youwhat must now summon both Decartian scientific powers with the truth of being that causes thought to répondez s'il vous plaît with something more than “huh,” and “nein,” to titillate free-range philosophers with possibilities from the clue-ish like elements perceived in combinations both overt and covert, both explicit and implicit.
And now, I must climb a high ladder to repair the chimney, if I still have the strength to lift the thing. Wish me your sincere good luck, and should I survive* it will be by God’s grace as I meet the demands of duality.
