A power packed exegetical 11 min. 59 sec. of the "Hebrew Scriptures'. Today we focus on the 'two creations' mentioned in Isaiah 46:10, 11 which compliment the modern String Theorem, Plato's form-receptacle-Universal-particular and Tolkien's Illuvatar who's creation was in the mind first, then, EA-'let it be', 'let it unfurl in tempo and form (the second creation)'.
from Kyle- "This 'pre-podcast' interview lasts an hour and 14 minutes. It wasn't meant to be recorded, but, by 'accident', I hit the skype record button when we began talking. Who has heard of Dr. Gerald Schroeder? In most scientific circles, Dr. Schroeder commands respect from his academic efforts while his humility and endless gregarious nature do not fail to win you over. Dr. Schroeder holds two doctorates from M.I.T. in physics and applied physics. He was on M.I.T.'s faculty for 7 years, D.O.D. --having detonated 'events' with the atomic bomb underground in Nevada six times. Worked, helped create, enhanced a 'brain' that does not need bio-chemical reactions to 'translate sound', rather, perceives, translates to our sense of time, space, matter an information that has reverberated as 'non-sound' for distances of time -----and, 'non-time'. Sounds nuts, I know. Dr. Schroeder lives in Jerusalem, having worked for decades with the Israeli Defense Department. Gerry speaks fluent Hebrew and parses the Hebrew Text with the scrutiny of a Quantum Physicist. He shows that the account of Genesis' creation, in Hebrew, used a "META" language which would be 'expressed' millennia later. Here we stand, with Dr. Schroeder in this 'pre-podcast' discussion, learning that the Hebrew's Meta language and the language of the Quantum field of Energy that precedes matter and time were the same."
In which we see how multiple languages are tied together at the base, and theories of Biblical proportions take form.
Plato's Cratylus, the extreme linguistic naturalist, holds that names cannot be arbitrarily chosen in the way that conventionalism describes or advocates, because names belong naturally to their specific objects.
