0154 Ross’s aesthetic judgment goes like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An aesthetic intellect, embracing both metaphysics and physics<\/em> (relation,<\/em> thirdness), brings artistic concordism as an empirio-schematic judgment<\/em> (what ought to be,<\/em> secondness) into relation with a dyad,<\/em> the noumenon of Genesis One and our evolutionary history<\/em> [cannot be fully objectified by] the phenomena of significant correspondences<\/em> (what is,<\/em>firstness).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0155 What is that what <\/em>is again? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a dyad that follows the classical Positivist’s judgment’s what is<\/em> of a noumenon [cannot be objectified as] its phenomena<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0156 Recall, the first abstraction in natural philosophy, Aristotle’s hylomorphe of matter [substance] form,<\/em> associates to a noumenon,<\/em> rather than its phenomena.<\/em>  This is how the positivist intellect excludes metaphysics.  All the metaphysics of natural inquiry goes into the noumenon<\/em>.  Phenomena<\/em> are only the observable and measurable facets of the thing itself<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The languages of modern science (relation,<\/em> thirdness) bring mathematical and mechanical models (what ought to be,<\/em>secondness) into relation with observations and measurements of phenomena (what is,<\/em> firstness).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ross’s conjunction of the Creation Story with the Earth’s evolutionary history<\/em> is packed with philosophical and theological implications<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These belong to the noumenon<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, the most notable implication is that this conjunction looks a lot like a mimic of the pre-scholastic dyad, grace [inflows] nature<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0157 Another implication of the noumenon?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is<\/em> of Ross’s aesthetic judgment ties together the content-level actualities<\/em> of the interscopes for the party of exalting grace3c<\/sub> and the party for exalting nature3c<\/sub><\/em>.  The noumenon<\/em> appears in the following figure as the box composed of dashed red-lines<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0158 Yes, Ross’s aesthetic judgment is clearly crossing red lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, should I say, “boxing red lines”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least, they are dashed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question to be asked is, “Is there a label<\/em> for the single actuality composed of the actualities of these two content-level nested forms?”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

0159 Chapter fifteen offers one suggestion from theologians who exalt grace3c<\/sub> by conceding that they should qualify revelation1a<\/sub> on the basis that the early stories of Genesis2a<\/sub> must be associated with the cultural milieu of the civilizations of the ancient Near East3a<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is that suggestion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There can be no single actuality<\/em> because the scientific concept of the evolutionary record2a<\/sub> is continually changing.  You know, the positivist intellect (the one forbidding metaphysics)3a<\/sub> operates of the potential of truth1a<\/sub>.  Do I have that right?  No, the logos3a<\/sub> operates on the potential of truth1a<\/sub>.  The modern intellect who derides metaphysics3a<\/sub><\/em> operates on the potential of… well… the human will1a<\/sub>,<\/em> including an insatiable will to know1a<\/sub><\/em>.  So, of course, scientific concepts2a<\/sub><\/em>will change according to the appetites of a will that cannot be satisfied1a<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the suggested label is “Does Not Apply”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0160 But, how does “Does Not Apply” deal with the following artistic concordist judgment (unfolded into a category-based nested form) for day one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0161 Surely, in the future, astronomers will figure out more and more about how solar systems form and how a star initiates fusion at its core.  But, I think we can rest easy that they will not discover that stars do not form from interstellar material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, I think that the classification of each verse in day one of the Creation Story as an icon, an index or a symbol of the formation of the solar system<\/em> is only going to get better, more convincing, as well as more incredible, rather than the other way around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
