And I do recognize that, from a perspective of religion, or rather, traditional view of the Genesis account, it may be postulated that the theory of evolution through natural selection is opposite of what was accepted.
From my perspective, there once was a time when 3 views of the solar system were fighting for supremacy:
the geo-centric one
the helio-centric one
the mixture of both called the Brahe system (Tycho Brahe).
From a functional perspective, depending on what you need it for, all three systems work. But.... system 1 does not work when one is to shoot space-craft to the moon and back.
And yes, it challenges established traditions. It may be argued: flight, space-flight etc are playing a role in atheism or agonsticim.
Of course, you may claim so. The question I have is: Are you free to decide for yourself, or not? If so, then why is this an issue? Is it not because we are pointing towards a lack of virtue?
But who' s virtue?
Are you virtuous when you agree to spent 50% of your life force to a system that hates your guts, and enslaves you? Is that praising the lord, who gave you the unalienble right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
Do we recognize the nefarious and corrupting operation that taxes exude? Do we recognize that by a central bank providing for the funding of a government, we lose our say?
Is theism required for agreement on these unalienble rights and the virtue it requires?
What if what you call God, and another calls: "Wralda", does that mean the latter is promoting atheism, or deism?
Do you see the trap set when accepting the Deep State buzz words. They are funding all sides of the argument, every single time.
Is theism required for agreement on these unalienable rights and the virtue it requires?
No, theism is not required for agreement on unalienable rights. These rights are fundamental principles that are recognized across different cultures and belief systems. The concept of U.R. is rooted in the idea that all human beings have inherent dignity and worth, regardless of their religious beliefs or lack thereof.
"What if what you call God, and another calls: 'Wralda', does that mean the latter is promoting atheism, or deism?"
This appears to be a semantic question that highlights the complexity of language and cultural differences. The terms "God" and "Wralda" may refer to different concepts or entities, but they both imply a belief in a higher power or transcendent reality. The distinction between theism, atheism, and deism is not solely dependent on the label used to describe the divine.
Do you see the trap set when accepting the Deep State buzz words. They are funding all sides of the argument, every single time.
This kind of hyper-skepticism leads to a self-referential and self-defeating circularity. The argument youre making (and almost the entirety of the Truther Movement/Great Awakening Movement) is that the "Deep State" is funding all sides of the argument, implying that any information or knowledge we have is potentially tainted by this alleged control.
However, this raises a crucial question: How do we know that this information about the "Deep State" isn't also part of the alleged control? In other words, if we assume that the "Deep State" is controlling the narrative and funding all sides of the argument, then how can we trust the information that leads us to believe in the existence of the "Deep State" in the first place? Isn't that information also potentially part of the controlled narrative/Matrix?
This creates a kind of epistemological paradox, where we're unable to trust any information, including the information that leads us to be skeptical of the information in the first place. It's a self-referential loop that ultimately leads to a kind of intellectual paralysis.
As I pointed out, this kind of thinking can be self-defeating, as it undermines our ability to make sense of the world around us. If we can't trust any information, then how can we make informed decisions or have meaningful discussions? In essence, this kind of hyper-skepticism can lead to a kind of nihilism, where we're left with no foundation for knowledge or truth.
I've been thinking about this very topic (the foundation of True knowledge in the Great Awakening movement) for a while now. And it' appears to me that if we're not careful, then we'll all end up in some form of Solipsism.
In the context of the Great Awakening movement, the emphasis on questioning everything and doubting the official narrative can be beneficial in encouraging critical thinking and promoting media literacy. However, if taken to an extreme, this skepticism can lead to a kind of solipsistic thinking, where individuals begin to doubt the existence of objective reality itself.
When we start to question everything, including the nature of reality, it can be challenging to find a solid foundation for knowledge. If we're not careful, we might end up in a situation where we're unable to trust anything, including our own senses, and that's when solipsism can become a tempting, albeit flawed, solution.
Solipsism, in this context, can manifest in various ways. For instance, some individuals might start to believe that they're the only ones who truly understand the "truth," while everyone else is deceived or asleep (something affecting almost all of us in this forum). This can lead to a kind of intellectual isolationism, where people become increasingly disconnected from others and the world around them (raises hand).
Another risk is that solipsism can foster a kind of paranoid thinking, where individuals begin to see conspiracies everywhere and doubt the intentions of others. This can create a toxic atmosphere, where people are more focused on uncovering hidden truths than on engaging in constructive dialogue and collaboration (another guilty charge).
I've waxed eloquent. Apologies. I guess I still suffer from a little PTSD from my discussion with @slyver (another pede in here) about this very topic.

EXCELLENT POINT!
And I believe that THIS is exactly what the intention is.
Supposedly, CIA Director William Casey told President Reagan:
The mission of the CIA will be complete when everything the American people believes is false.
The first time I read that, I was baffled. Like ...WTF? Why would anyone say that, much less the CIA.
For years, I thought about it occasionally, but still did not understand it.
But today, I do.
If people are confused, they seek someone -- ANYONE -- to tell them what is truth and what they should do.
And THAT is the real goal of the criminal cabal.
They accomplished this in North Korea many years ago, which was the testing ground for this type of massive psyop.
They have been slowing working towards this is the West ever since.
They WANT people to have no idea what to think. They WANT confusion. Because that could ultimately give them control to do anything they want.
THAT is their ultimate goal.
We have to understand epistemology: the study of knowledge, and how we can KNOW something is true (or not true).
The lack of this skill is what has allowed all the anti-liberty, anti-social, and anti-human phenomenon we have been experiencing for decades now.
Isn' t this the exact issue? What is the solid ground?
And perhaps, the tsunami of messages we receive daily, compels us to pay attention to them, interact with them, while we forgo the pleasure of finding our basis within us.
O dear, Yeah, Slyver can be a tough cookie! I first will congratulate you on again diving into this sub-ject despite your PTSD, And second, I will try to take it easy.
This appears to be a semantic question
Allow me to preface this by saying that I see where you are coming from before making this remark, and I value your view.
I am highlighting this because the question becomes: have you knowledge regarding this view of life? If not, what then is the reason for the response, instead of investigating.
I admit, I mentioned " Wralda" on purpose, as I surmised this response might ensue. Also, this is not to pick on you, but to highlight how easy it is to respond before knowledge is obtained. My remembrance may be a bit hazy, but I seem to remember a bible verse from proverbs regarding that particular stuff.
So, no, it is not semantic question as like in God or Allah used interchangeably, since these words mean the same. On a deeper level, it is a primordial question, as both systems of view: OT/NT God vs Wralda ex-ist diverge from the start.
sol-ipse-ism
I fear this has been the perfect scapegoat. True, it is important to be cognizant regarding the opportunity to land at such a point, where existence is only considered from a egotistic point of view, instead of an holistic point of view.
Seeing the other living is the key. Given the nature of our discussion, I would say, we are far removed from that.
it can be challenging to find a solid foundation for knowledge.
I love this one. For a moment I was reminded of ChatGTP3.5 as this AI also loves to use relative positions. This is the nature of human inquiry, to be able to push beyond the boundaries of relativism and see what happens.
So, what is a solid base for knowledge in relation to the human experience in these 3D environments, with a potential to experience other dimensions? I would say, the foundation is always personal.
Religion for instance, is about the religious/spiritual experience of others, who wrote about it. A movement surrounding such an expression starts to gain traction and before you know it, a new religion is born, especially one that covers generations.
So, what is our solid base? Is it not our own experience? And then we share this experience with others, in an exchange of viewpoints.
where individuals begin to doubt the existence of objective reality itself
I should say, difficult to say.
If I were to analyze the word: object and its derivative objective ( coloration) I would consider this word a misnomer for what you were intending to say. There is a reason why the word: thing and object is on the one hand tied together and mixed up on the other. The reason is: a thing is a judicial proceeding where a challenge is laid down. This challenge is literally the ob - iact.
In terms of idiom, we then hope that by a lot of verbiage we can somehow escape the literal and move towards the definite or that which is not finite. If this does not make sense, then you are right. It doesn't. And that is the value of it: to show our choice of words is totally screwed up.
My personal view here is that by the language distortions ( babel) the truth is hard to reach, let alone to be shared. Chaos ensues. And who has ORDER? The one instituting it: ordu ab chao.
Even worse: real or re-al is an adjective to describe a perception of matter. The synonym for it is given as "actual" which, also an adjective again leads to the word: iact: to throw/ move. re, in this case point towards: fitting together, a matter.
When considering the word: ex-sist-ence there is a clear indicator of a matter under discussion that is grown out of "to be"/"to stand" = life.
The word in-di-vidu-al = adjective pertaining to that which cannot be taken apart. A whole unit of being alive and kicking.
The worst part in all of this semantic gibberish is that this sentence you wrote, consists of adjectives: the derivative from the life-unity, while skipping the fact. The mere consideration that others may be conscious about another man or woman existing, being alive, this consensus does not make it. The perception of the one doing the perceiving is what counts. Hence, the perception of being alive, but also the perception of being from the same source.
The rest are derivatives of the one perceiving, thus entering into a process of experience, gaining knowledge. The rest then is a matter of communication (together one-ing) and finally: agreement to further act together based on mutual benefit and free will.
lead to a kind of intellectual isolationism, where people become increasingly disconnected from others and the world around them
Indeed, that is a danger. I am glad you are still overcoming this, by these exchanges on this medium!
Correct. Hence, the label: prime mover.
