The Theory of One God

The Theory of One God
An Essay by Christopher Bek

Summary—This essay argues that the Church is in the middle between man and God and our challenge is to unite all the Churches around the world into a single denomination.  Monotheism is the religious belief that there is only one God.

I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its thirty Churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.

—Bertrand Russell

If the government violates the rights of individual citizens, then the people have the right to get rid of the government.

—John Locke 

The task the artist implicitly sets for himself is to overthrow existing values and make of the chaos about him an order which is his own.  He seeks to sow strife and ferment so that by the achievement of emotional release those who are dead may be restored back to life.

—Henry Miller

Muhammad (570-632) was a merchant in Mecca who became the central prophet and founder of Islam.  The term Islam derives from slam and means peace and surrender—namely, the peace that comes from surrendering to the will of God’s sovereignty.  Before Islam the religions of the Arabic world involved the worship of many gods—Allah being one of them. Muhammad taught the worship of Allah as the only God, whom he identified as the same God worshipped by Christians and Jews.  And Muhammad also accepted the authenticity of both the Jewish prophets and Christ—as do his followers.

—Robert Solomon

You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up.  And you are here because you know something.  What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it.  You’ve felt it your entire life.  That there’s something wrong with the world.  You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind driving you mad.  It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.  Like everyone you are a slave.  You were born into bondage, born into a prison you cannot smell or taste or touch—a prison for your mind.

—Morpheus

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.  That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

—President Thomas Jefferson

The Bernoulli Form elucidates the notion of Platonic Forms in describing how a motley crew of Forms—including Delphi, forecasting, integration, utility, optimization, efficiency and complementary—come together to form The Bernoulli Model.

The Method of Moments elucidates the notion of Platonic Forms in describing how a motley crew of Forms—including Delphi, forecasting, integration, utility, optimization, efficiency and complementary—come together to form The Bernoulli Model.

The Efficient Frontier examines the notions of God, option theory, portfolio theory, faith, reason and Arab math—finally arriving at the inescapable conclusion that all roads of sound decisionmaking lead to the efficient frontier.

The Unpardonable Sin charges all honourables and doctors in Canada with heresy, child abuse and the unpardonable sin that Christ spoke of—which is the deliberate refusal to follow the light when seen.

The Uncertainty Principle contrasts Einstein with Heisenberg, relativity with quantum theory, behavioralism with existentialism, certainty with uncertainty and philosophy with science—finally arriving at the inescapable Platonic conclusion that the true philosopher is always striving after Being and will not rest with those multitudinous phenomena whose existence are appearance only.

Twenty-Eight is a Perfect Number

A Formal Patient congratulates Alberta Health and Wellness for insisting on the accountability of due process in declaring individuals to be formal patients—and argues that I am being considered a formal patient as the result of an absence of due process elsewhere in Canada—and that I should not be considered a formal patient but that I should be declared disabled on account of being outside the cave of behaviorism.

Singularity identifies the trigger of the looming paradigm shift from the three-dimensionally conscioused Everyman to the four-dimensionally conscioused Superman as the 1935 Schrödinger’s Cat though problem—which proves that consciousness is real.

 The Great Cosmic Accounting Blunder compares the two physical fixedpoints in the universe—lightspeed and Planck’s constant—and argues that we have been guilty of double counting up until now and that in fact there is but one fixedpoint—which, as it turns out, is the boundary of the universe.

The Unified Field Theory counts down the Euclidean hits from five to one in categorically nailing the vast majority of this little thing I like to call cosmic pi.  At this point in spacetime I would like to pay special tribute to my excellent wingman Albert Einstein (1879–1955).

Closing the Liars Loophole identifies the malignant cancer within the healthcare system and society as the outwardly focusing behavioral psychological model, which denies the existence of consciousness—while the inwardly focusing existential model makes consciousness and the soul primordially important.

The Cosmological Argument.  The cosmological argument is an a posterori argument for the existence of God first put forth by Aristotle (384-322 BC).  A priori means before experiment while a posterori means after experiment.  The cosmological argument is based on the idea that there is an uncaused first cause which sets everything in motion.  We know that the world exists and that it arguably began from a metaphorical line of dominos set in motion by God which ultimately produced reality as we know it.  However, owing to it’s a posterori nature, we cannot prove mathematically that another big bang would create life.  Christianity symbolizes God as an old man.  My theory of one proves mathematically that God is the lone photon in the universe and that the first cause is the uncaused big bang.

The Ontological Argument.  The original ontological argument was created by Saint Anselm (1033-1109).  It is an a prioriargument for the existence of God—asserting that the conception of the perfect Being implies the existence of that Being outside the mind of man.  The crux of the argument lies with the notion that a perfect Being must necessarily exist for that Being to be considered perfect—for otherwise the Being would lack an essential component of perfection, namely existence.  My theory of one proves that God is the lone photon in the universe.  Sir James Jeans (1877-1946) said that God is a mathematician.  Niels Bohr (1885-1962) said that the complementary principle is the realization of two incompatible, different perspectives of the same phenomena—in this case, God.  Based on the complementary principle, my ontological argument is that God is both the lone photon and a mathematician.  To follow God wherever She leads is to follow the argument wherever it leads.  My argument is simple, beautiful, explains everything and is therefore true.  Anselm’s argument proves the existence of God.  My argument reveals the nature of God.

The Theory of One.  According to William Barrett, reason was a Greek invention.  While the Egyptians used the Pythagorean Form as an empirical rule-of-thumb in building pyramids, it was Pythagoras (582-500 BC) who first proved it to be a mathematical truth.  The macrocosmos of relativity theory is the universal law of spacetime and reveals that spacetime dilates as a function of velocity relative to lightspeed in accordance with the Pythagorean Form—ie. h^2 + (v/c)^2 = 1^2,  h = height, v = velocity,  c = lightspeed.  According to relativity theory—if v = c then h = 0—thereby indicating a boundary of spacetime.  On the other hand, according to Newtonian physics, if v = c then h = 1.  My theory of one unites relativity theory and quantum theory by proving that lightspeed and Planck’s constant are the same boundary of the universe.  The photon exists at this boundary while electrons pass back and forth across this boundary.

Exiting the Universe.  In characterizing relativity theory, consider for a moment an astronaut named Elvis traveling through space.  If Elvis were to somehow achieve lightspeed, he would be reduced to zero height and would exit the universe.  It would of course be impossible for Elvis to actually achieve lightspeed, given that such an endeavor would require all of his mass be converted into energy in accordance with Einstein’s famous E = mc^2 equation.  However, it is interesting to note that, by definition, photons travel at lightspeed—thus implying that they must exist outside the spacetime continuum.  As such, one could imagine a universe populated by a fantastic number of photons zipping around the periphery.  The question is—Why would the universe need more than one photon if they exist outside of space-time?  The answer to the question is that there is only one photon.  Based on Ockham’s razor, the argument is that one photon is God and is mathematically true given that it is simple, beautiful and explains everything.

Christ and Muhammad.  Christianity was created around a single prophet named Jesus Christ (5 BC-30 AD).  Christ criticized those who preached compassion but then failed to show it when pressed to do so.  Like the Jews and Muhammad, Christ argued for monotheism.  He embraced the story of Adam and Eve and Adam’s fall from grace.  Christ was crucified by the Roman’s and his death marked a great rupture in Western thought.  Muhammad (570-632) was an Arab merchant who became the prophet and founder of Islam.  Islam means the peace that comes from surrendering to the will of God.  Before Islam, Allah was one of many gods worshiped.  Muhammad advocated the worship of the one God, Allah.  He also taught the acceptance of both Christian and Jewish prophets.  Muslims also considered Muhammad to have resurrected the unbroken monotheistic faith of Noah, Abraham, Moses and Christ.

Greek Geometry.  According to the Greek Plato (427-347 BC) true or a priori knowledge must be certain and infallible and it must be of real objects or Forms like the Pythagorean Form.  Mathematics is thus the systematic treatment of Forms and relationships between Forms.  It is the science of drawing conclusions and is the primordial foundation of all other science.  Saint Augustine carried forward Greek thought from the failing classical world to the emerging medieval, Christian world—a project that came to be known as the Medieval synthesis.  For twelve hundred years the flame of philosophy and science lit by Augustine burned ever so lowly under the agonizing oppression of the Church.  Copernicus published On the Revolution of Celestial Orbs in 1543 mathematically proving the theory of heliocentricity (ie. the planets orbit the sun).  And then by inventing and using of the telescope, Galileo (1564-1642) provided empirical validation of heliocentricity—for which the Church sentenced him to life in prison.  The French philosopher and mathematician René Descartes (1596-1650) shared Galileo’s views and envisioned the masterful strategy of presenting these revolutionary ideas to the Church in a way that the Church believed the ideas were their own.  His heroic plan succeeded thereby bringing to an end the Medieval period and initiating the philosophic and scientific Renaissance of the 17th century.

Arab Algebra.  While the Church was jumping up and down on everyone’s head in the Western world for over a millennium, Arab mathematicians like al-Khwârizmî (780-850) were carrying the ball in founding algebra and algorithms.  An algorithm is the procedural method for calculating and drawing conclusions with Arabic numerals and the decimal notation.  Both the terms algebra and algorithm stem from the God, Allah.  According to Arab philosophy, mathematics is the way God’s mind works.  The Arabs believe that by understanding mathematics they are comprehending the mind of God.  In fact the core of their religion lies with the belief that people must submit to the will of God—meaning mathematical arguments.  

Analytic Geometry.  The Latin version of al-Khwârizmî’s work is responsible for a great deal of the mathematical knowledge that resurfaced during the Renaissance.  In fact, the notion that mathematics and God are the same thing was adapted as the foundation for the Renaissance by thinkers like Descartes, Pascal, Fermat, Newton, Locke and Berkeley.  Then, in 1640 in what John Stuart Mill called the single greatest advance in the history of science, Descartes conceived analytic geometry by synthesizing Greek geometry with Arab algebra.  The significance of this founding of modern mathematics is best understood in light of the fact that mathematicians from that point forward had two complimentary and fundamentally different ways of viewing the same Forms.  Einstein first introduced relativity theory in 1905 as a simple set of algebraic equations, yet the theory was largely ignored until four years later when Minkowski presented a geometric view of relativity as characterized by the four-dimensional spacetime continuum.

Conclusion.  This essay proves mathematically that the Christian God and the Muslim God are one in the same.  The Canadian Constitution says that we recognize the supremacy of God—but it does not define God.  Therefore, we must amend the Constitution to say who God is—which is a mathematician, the lone photon and the laws of nature.  In our schools we must teach mathematics from a historical perspective.  Uniting the Churches is a necessary and sufficient step for achieving world peace.  Finally, we must not forget that the word religion means a reconnection with reality.  The Theory of One God is the new religion for the Third Millennium.
