Does Life or Death Govern the Universe?

Part 1: The Cult of Aristotle Emerges

Is human society destined for self-annihilation or were we made for something better?

Certainly if one listens to the transhumanist gospel by modern pseudo-religious cult leaders like the WEF’s Yuval Noah Harari, Google’s Ray Kurzweil, or perennial spiritual atheist Sam Harris, it might appear that the soul-less computer program that is the human machine is merely a hackable computer whose code will be cracked any day now.

The universe described by these high priests of atheism, who profess to know of the beginning, end, and extremes of everything is a closed system winding down into a supposed heat death which we are told will inevitably wrap its cold meaningless hand around everything in a nihilistic big whimper.

But is this nihilistic projection true?

It certainly appears to be founded upon centuries, if not millennia of scientific thought which has led us inexorably toward these dismal conclusions. So how would we go about trying to prove to ourselves whether or not there is a bigger piece of the story being left out by forces that would prefer it if nihilism were the only conclusion we could possibly arrive at?

Let’s explore this question in a bit more detail.

Aristotle’s Slave-Master Society

Throughout history, a dispute has raged between two opposing paradigms each attempting to infuse very different meanings into fundamental concepts like “human nature”, “law”, “freedom”, “justice” and “God”.

Where one paradigm has tended to look upon the universe as a living process animated by creative growth and a loving Creator in whose image humankind was made, the other paradigm has tended to approach things somewhat differently.

If scientific thought is relegated to the material domain alone, then such transcendental concepts as “soul”, “truth”, “causality”, “design” and “intention” have very little value beyond whatever utilitarian desires an elite wishes be imbued into these words at any given moment in time and space.
