Constancy
Purpose
One designer, or a group of designers?
Approach
- Scope => spatio-temporal boundaries
- All of the universe
- For all of the time
- Examples of constancy (anywhere, anytime)
- Oxygen + hydrogen = water
- Atomic interaction => electromagnetic force
- Mass has gravity
- The law of definite proportions
- Quarks => strong nuclear force
- Nuclear fusion, or fission
- Star = lighter elements fuse to build heavier elements
- Speed of light
- Projectile, gravity, air friction
- Life is made of cells
- Life is made of water
- Life is self-replicatory
- Gene is in all life
- Examples of inconstancy
- Wife and husband
- Presidents (consecutive)
- Stakeholders (business partners)
- Two dieties in one religion
- Fact => world's infra is constant
- Interpretation => there is one designer
- Inductive reasoning
- No constancy in systems with two or more wills
Challenges
- Find a system with two or more wills, that is constant over time
- Find a system, even with ONE will, that is constant over time
