um&#8230; &#8220;re-organization&#8221;, hence the theory of punctuated equilibrium.&nbsp;&nbsp;When the evolutionary sciences cast their image of human evolution into the mirror, the theologian sees a picture that does not quite sync with the wild change of&#8230; um&#8230; &#8220;genre&#8221; that occurs the moment after God wraps up the Creation Story, by telling humans that they should give food to the animals (Genesis 1:30).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the question arises, &#8220;Is there a scientific proposal that would be in sync with this change in genre?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, there is.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is called&nbsp;<em>the hypothesis of the first singularity<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0012 Both&nbsp;<em>human evolution<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>chapters one through three of Genesis<\/em>&nbsp;portray two phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide04-6.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide04-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide04-6.png 600w, https:\/\/www.raziemah.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Slide04-6-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>0013 Razie Mah offers three scientific masterworks that project well in the mirror of theology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first work is titled,&nbsp;<em>The Human Niche.<\/em>&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The human niche<\/em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>the potential of triadic relations<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;This e-book covers&nbsp;<em>the Lebenswelt that we evolved in<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second work is titled,&nbsp;<em>An Archaeology of the Fall<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;It dramatizes the scientific discovery of the first singularity.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, for those who prefer not to dally in fiction, there is&nbsp;<em>The First Singularity and Its Fairy Tale Trace<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;In the series, &#8220;Crystallizations of the Fall&#8221;, this essay is paired with&nbsp;<em>Original Sin and Original Death: Romans 5:12-19<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third work is titled,&nbsp;<em>How To Define the Word &#8220;Religion&#8221;<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;The accompanying course includes ten primers, starting with&nbsp;<em>A Primer on the Category-Based Nested Form<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;This course concerns&nbsp;<em>our current Lebenswelt<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;It introduces the category-based nested form, which encompasses three logics, corresponding to firstness, secondness and thirdness.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thirdness brings secondness into relation with firstness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, these terms come from the philosophy of Charles Peirce.&nbsp;&nbsp;The logic of firstness is inclusive and allows contradictions.&nbsp;&nbsp;The logic of secondness is where the logics of contradiction and non-contradiction apply.&nbsp;&nbsp;The logics of thirdness are exclusion, complement and alignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0014 In sum,&nbsp;<em>human evolution<\/em>&nbsp;comes with&nbsp;<em>a twist<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>That twist<\/em>&nbsp;is mirrored in&nbsp;<em>the sudden shift of genres in the first two chapter of Genesis<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>0010 Okay, so there is a off-chance that there is wisdom&#8230;
