Laying Down The Law Part II – The Conclusion
(This post is part 5 of a series. Please click here to read all previous posts from earliest to latest. )
Testing the Universal Law of Equality for Truth
As was mentioned in the last post, “All men are created equal” is not a trite moral declaration, but is the most exceptional and extraordinary natural law ever acknowledged in the history of the world. This law alone holds the power to destroy all boundaries between science, philosophy, religion, morality, politics, sociology, mathematics and economics, and combine them all into one self-evident, immutable truth. Hidden in this universal law is the mathematical description of four historically indefinite subjects: God, man, government, and law. Because of the law of equality, God, man, government and even law itself are now properly subsumed within the realm of science, as they should have always been. Science is the study of truth, and we have now identified the natural law that will allow all of mankind to scientifically study, test and prove the physical laws of each.
This post will be dedicated to the scientific testing of this law as it is written. The last post explains in detail how the natural law “All men are created equal” converts mathematically to this formula:
(God > man) and (man = man) = equality
In short, this formula describes that equality among men is dependent upon the existence of a superior God. Because equality is dependent upon God in this formula, if the law of equality is true then it also proves that God exists as described in the law. However, there are many different formulas for equality that have been declared over the centuries, and many are in use today. If equality exists then it must have only one formula, and so we will conduct two scientific tests on this law. The first test is to determine the correct formula for equality, whether it be the one listed above or some other formula. Once we have the correct formula, we will conduct the second and final scientific test.
The final test will evaluate whether equality itself is true, in which we will test whether the law of equality causes mankind to become functional or dysfunctional. If equality causes disorder and dysfunction, then it is false, and the world as we know it will never be the same. If equality causes order and function, then it is true, and the world as we know it will never be the same. Consider yourselves warned.
Step 1: Testing for the correct formula for equality
“All men are created equal” is the only law of equality that is based upon the existence of a superior God. All other equality statements omit any reference to a Creator or Deity, and according to these laws equality is therefore established by man. The equality of man has only two possible sources, man himself or a source that is superior to man which created man under conditions of equality, such as a Deity or God. The test is then a simple one: Is equality originated by God or by man?
Here are examples of equality laws that do not include a Creator:
- “All men are equal.” (General statement)
- “All men are born free and equal.” (Massachusetts Constitution of 1780 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts_Constitution)
- “Men are born and remain free and equal in rights.” (The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, French Revolution, August 26 1789 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_the_Rights_of_Man_and_of_the_Citizen)
- “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” (The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), United Nations General Assembly, December 10, 1948 http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/)
Let us test whether any of these statements will render proper mathematical formulas. First, let’s break these laws down into their basic components and definitions, as was done in the last post.
All = Supposedly every subject to the exclusion of none, but ultimately defined by the person making this statement
Men/Human beings = Defined by the person making this statement
Are = Defined by the person making this statement
Born = Defined by the person making this statement
Free = However “Free” is defined by the person making this statement
Equal = However “Equal” is defined by the person making this statement
Dignity = However “Dignity” is defined by the person making this statement
Rights = However “Rights” are defined by the person making this statement
There is already a problem here. Because none of these declarations are self-evident truths, or natural laws, there is no way to define any of its components in absolute, universal terms.
To render a formula, we need absolute, universal terms. Let’s just assume that I am the one making this statement, so I will enter my own definitions of the terms. We will then be able to render a mathematical formula according to my own relative terms if all others consider these terms absolute.
My Definition of Equality:
All = Every subject to the exclusion of none
Men/Human beings = all of mankind, male and female, human beings
Are = defined as, relatively
Born = brought forth by birth
Free = Unrestricted in any way
Equal = state of being equivalent, equally balanced.
Dignity = Deserving respect
Rights = Entitled to all things defined as ‘rights’ by the government
Now that the components have been defined, let’s study their mathematical arrangement in order to formulate the precise equation.
At first glance, it looks as if there is only one subject: man. In reality, there are two subjects, the men referred to in the law, and the man who authored the statement (in this case, myself). Which of these mathematically comes first? If man made the law, then mathematically the man acting as legislator comes first. The man acting as legislator then goes on to legislate law upon his fellow man, which places man after man, or second.
man, man
Now, is the man acting as legislator equivalent to his fellow man or is one greater than the other? If one man legislated a law upon others but others cannot likewise legislate law in return, or if one man can declare his terms absolute and others cannot dispute this claim, then the man who created the law is superior to, or greater than all other men.
man > man
Next, if the superior man legislated law upon all other men, what condition did he legislate upon man? Man was legislated as equal to man. After the first law describes the mathematical relationship of the lawmaking man to all other men, it then appends the first law with a second law describing the legislative relationship of man to man.
man > man and man = man
Last, what exactly does this formula describe? This formula is an attempted expression of equality. Here is the statement in its entirety:
(man > man) and (man = man) = equality
This formula is in reality a counterfeit expression of equality. The preeminent law in this equation is that the man who legislated this law is superior to the men it was legislated upon. Secondary to this law is a law establishing the equality of man. The mathematical order of these two laws is false because the second law is nullified by the first law, and therefore cannot be an expression of equality, but only a description of inequality. Here we see that man declaring the equality of other men is a self-contradiction, in that the act of absolutely declaring anything upon another man is an act of superiority, not equality. Each of these false laws of equality have been systematically exposed as to what they really are: clever and deliberate deceptions. The foolish man will see in these laws what its authors want him to see, which is the nullified law – “all men are equal” – with the added use of extravagant words such as “dignity” and “rights” to distract the fool from asking how it is that men, being unequal by nature, could ever be considered equal by law. The answer would alert the fool to his own irrationality: the only way men can be considered equal by law is because a superior man declared it to be so.
Now we can publish these false equality statements as they really are, with the nullified part of the law removed:
(man > man) = inequality
As a final test of falsehood, let us test to see if any of these statements could be true in any logical sense, or cogently identify as self-evident truths.
Are “All men equal?”
Are “All men born free and equal?”
Are “Men born free and equal in rights,” and do they “remain” that way?
Are “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights?”
The answer to all questions is a resounding No.
Is it possible that someday any of these statements could be true?
The answer to this question is also a resounding No. There is no man, however powerful, who can dictate the terms and conditions of any man’s birth, and there is no man, however powerful, who can dictate the state in which any man can remain. There is also no man, however powerful, who can grant equality to another man, because if equality originates by man, then it does not exist at all. These facts confirm the position in the previous posts that active intelligence such as man has no authority to originate law, which is what these four declarations assume.
In contrast,
Are “All men created equal?”
The answer to this question is: possibly.
If the equality statements that do not include a Creator are all scientific impossibilities, and the sole equality statement that does include a Creator is a scientific possibility, let us now finalize the correct formula with this conclusive question.
Can equality exist without a Creator?
No. Removing a Creator from the law of equality effectively renders it false. The equality of man requires a Creator, or God, as its originator, because man cannot originate it of himself without violating his own law. The American founders correctly included a Creator in the formula of equality because had they not, the formula would have been mathematically incorrect. Equality among men does not exist by nature, as one man is never born equal in health, status, intelligence or ability to another, and therefore men are not equals by nature but rule over one another according to natural advantages. Equality among men also cannot exist by man’s decree, because if one man can legislate a law of equality upon another, then either all men are equally entitled to legislate law upon each other, or all men must defer to one superior man entitled to legislate equality, rendering equality obsolete. If equality among men does not exist by nature, and cannot exist by man’s decree, then its existence is absolutely dependent upon a Creator.
Conclusion
The results are in: The formula (God > man) and (man = man) is the only possible formula for the equality of man.
Step 2: The Final Test – Is the law of equality universally true?
Because of its age and position as the founding principle of the United States, we are provided an excellent basis upon which to identify the effects of this law. Also advantageous to the analysis is the fact that the United States has uniquely embraced this law as it is written; no other nation has ever been built upon the founding principle that “all men are created equal.” Therefore the position of the United States as compared to all other nations is a valid demonstration of the truth or falseness of this law.
As it stands, the United States of America is the world’s oldest enduring republic and sole superpower. In a little over two hundred years the United States has been able to achieve a higher level of functionality than any other nation in history and generate the most wealth and prosperity the world has ever witnessed. America is undisputed in its superiority over all the nations of the world.
On the other hand, the history of the Earth has repeatedly evidenced a single path and pattern for all nations and civilizations not founded upon the natural law of equality: degeneration and destruction. All other nations are inferior to the United States presently and historically.
With this simple comparison, it would seem as though the static universe has indeed associated equality with function and inequality with dysfunction. But before we can establish this as fact, we must first understand how the laws of equality or inequality affect the nations that embrace them, and how they are composed in the first place.
How does equality or inequality shape the nations of the world?
Every nation upon the Earth is governed by a single law – a law which defines or determines who possesses the ultimate authority to rule. This law is known as a “Declaration,” a law that describes the relationship of man to man. The Declaration establishes a blueprint or a formula that determines the order of the resulting government, known as the “Constitution,” or the description of how the government is constituted. The government of any nation has a sole function: to create and execute law.
Declaration => Constitution => Government Creation and Execution of Law
In essence, each form of government and its resultant laws can be traced back to a nation’s original Declaration. In this binary universe, the original Declaration can only describe one of two arrangements – equality or inequality, and exist in only one of two states – true or false. If the Declaration is mathematically true, then the resultant government will be constituted legitimately and will produce laws that are true, ordered, and functional, which government will endure indefinitely. If the Declaration is false, then the resultant government will be constituted illegitimately and will produce laws that are false, disordered, dysfunctional and will induce that government’s demise. If a nation has no Declaration, then the men in government have granted themselves the ultimate authority to rule, so the absence of a Declaration is in fact a Declaration of inequality, and is still subject to assessment of truth or falsehood.
The Declaration in the case of the United States of America is “All men are created equal,” or in mathematical terms, (God > man) and (man = man) = equality. This declaration resulted in a government constituted of separate and equal branches designed to check and balance each other to maintain equality. Due to equality the government must also be constituted as equal to its people, inasmuch as it maintains its legitimate constitution designated by its declared law. The United States is the only nation in the history of the world to declare equality as established by God, and as such, its government is constituted upon the premise that no man possesses the ultimate authority to rule, but only the superior God of equality.
In contrast, all other nations have declarations that establish equality according to the decree of man, openly assert inequality, or lack any declaration whatsoever. Thus the Declaration of all other nations is overt or covert inequality. These nations have all resulted in governments constituted of unequal branches and/or a government constituted unequal to, or superior to, its people. These nations form governments constituted upon the premise that the men in government have the ultimate authority to rule.
Who declares the Declaration?
The people are the originators of their country’s declaration. It is the people that determine the relationship of their neighbors to themselves, whether they be equal or unequal. This determination is based upon various philosophies, values, or cultural tenets popular among the people. Historically, the people have declared the order of man according to what they think or desire it to be, with the sole exception of the United States, who have declared this order on the basis of natural law. The order of man relative to man is the single most important law a nation can establish, because the order in which man places himself relative to his fellow man mathematically determines the type of government he will create, as was previously shown. A government’s sole function is to create and execute law, and so the type of government man creates also determines the type of laws he will establish. Because the order of man, government and law are all interconnected in this regard, each nation possesses a distinct design, or image, dictated by its founding Declaration. The image of every nation can be readily analyzed and tested for truth, simply because its image is either one of equality or inequality.
The American Experiment: America Proves Positive
The final test of the law of equality comes in the form of a single question, which happens to be the same question asked at the final stage of all scientific experiments: Is equality true?
The answer: Yes.
“All men are created equal” is a universal law; it proves to be true throughout all space and time. The entire history of civilization is an undisputed confirmation to the superiority of the law of equality, and the inferiority of its antithesis. Order, function and life flourish whenever and wherever this law is obeyed. Disorder, destruction and death ravage all things that transgress it. All instances of societal dysfunction can be traced to a willfull or unintentional violation of this natural law. There cannot be a clearer manifestation of truth than this law, which is the basis of all other laws. The universe indeed has mathematically associated equality with function and inequality with dysfunction, a revelation that will have a dramatic impact on our world.
The function of the physical universe itself, like man, is also dependent upon the principle of equality. In order for our universe to have been created, there was a specific, scientifically recognized condition that had to exist in order for such creation to take place. This condition was equality. Many scientists refer to this condition as “fine-tuning,” or that the universe was “fine-tuned” for life. What this really means in general is that the two creative forces of the universe, gravitational and electromagnetic force, had to be perfectly balanced, or equal, in order for the universe to exist and life to flourish. If there had been any imbalance between these two powers, the universe would have been destroyed according to the nature of the imbalance, by either collapsing in on itself (imbalance in favor of gravity) or blowing itself apart (imbalance in favor of electromagnetic force), which imbalance would have destroyed all opportunities for life. Thus we see on a universal scale that equality is mathematically associated with truth, life, order, endurance and function. And the formula for equality, of course, requires a superior God. According to this natural law of equality, man functions by first recognizing a Superior God and second maintaining equality with his fellow man or he, like our universe, will self-destruct according to the nature of the imbalance.
Americans from this time forth may now celebrate their Independence Day with a clearer understanding of what their Founders truly accomplished. With this conclusive experiment, the Founding Fathers of America have now proven to be the most revolutionary scientists in the history of the world. The proclaimation which boldly declared “all men are created equal” is exactly what they said it was: a universal, self-evident truth. And the conclusion to this experiment is likewise self-evident: God exists absolutely.
