What you think you know
about computers will show
when you perform your
most involved and intricate
use of its more obtuse traits
while I conflate
your words and acts to extract
my best assessment
of the truth of the matter.
Human omniscience deferred
blurs self confidence
to absolutely know with
assurance that one’s
judgements are free from any
miscalculations that bind
with nonlinear
elements that malign best
outcomes desired.
Now switch out computers for
any other noun and you’re
bound to discover,
no matter how it sounds, that
every choice you make,
when the stake is greater than
blueberry or cherry pie,
is an act of faith,
which deepens as vital facts
required, inflate
to levels that create more
uncertainty about lost
issues that could cost
you dearly if you clearly
dismiss your hubris.
Faith as a word, occurs most
when religions refer to
belief in statements
made that evade the need for
provable reasons
to affirm immovable
assertions to sacred laws,
but faith waits calmly
as an unexpected wraith
undetected by
every person who must chose
who to marry or not from
only cues to use
and review amidst hidden
chance deceptions or
naive expectations from
longings for success to best
egress toward rewards
for more soulful benefits
to lift one’s spirits.
Regardless the choice chosen,
investigative rigor
or what triggers one
path over any other,
faith ultimately
resides inside all crucial
human decisions because
omniscience, in its
persistance to elude a
static condition,
due to creativity’s
pure core of diversity,
relieves humankind
from absolute certainty
that sets the trap for
narcissistic bullies who
seek to kidnap other souls
with perpetual,
opprobrious servitude
’til the rude effect
of absolute disgust toward
enslavement prompts rebellion
that stomps out gold crowns.
Ask King Louis, the Sixteenth,
if the rabid hounds
of the Reign of Terror were
bound by compassion when the
guillotine fell quick
to let flow the slick blue blood
that would mingle with
the red flood of supporters
and the monarchy’s lackeys.
So faith ain’t about
religion but is about
halting contagion
of strong debilitating
uncertainty when facing
daunting dilemmas
taunting weaker minds to seek
ways to evade that
which must not be delayed due
to critical circumstance.
At a glance the stance
taken by science to prove
empirically
tangible, measurable
verification as its
justification
for those truths propagated
and integrated
into human knowledge and
understanding of our
immense universe
is somewhat misleading us
with its pretense of
scientific certainty.
Hypotheses and theories
are not certainties,
rather, they are conjectures
that procure needed
continuity of thought
to aid those thinkers fraught with
curiosity
to learn accurately what
hidden aspects they
yearn to discern about Earth’s
and humankind’s essential
characteristics
and interconnectedness
with the universe.
We should pause and then reflect.
Is this not the same cause that
effects the first step
of homo sapiens’ quest
to express their best
understanding of awesome
forces regulating their
attempts to survive
and improve their fruitful lives?
So, faith ain’t about
religion, and science must
be compliant about its
alliance with doubt
and uncertainty to be
forever present.

describing the state
from which the Big Bang arose.
The universe was
infinitely hot with a
space of exactly zero
which for those who know
their science, heat’s energy.
So, the Uncaused Cause
of the First Cause is purely
hot infinite energy
void of any space.
So, I emphatically
believe that god’s face
is without tangibleness.
The great mistake humankind
makes is to conflate
the creative Uncaused Caused
of the First Cause as
being anthropomorphic
’cause how could primitive minds
sync with anything
but something most like themselves,
just more powerful?
[Joseph Ward]
Your ample explanation
of god, the Uncaused Cause of
the First Cause and the
creative act as, in fact,
energy’s first move,
is tight; but I’m not quite sure
that your conjecture accounts
for evil’s presence
or natural violence
that daily occurs.
[Marlene]
Your critique infers that god
confers those horrors on that
which was created
as if creation hated
harmony and peace.
To piece together better
understanding, we need to
assure expanding
our comprehension of
infinity and
efficiency regarding
what has been illustrated.
Let us begin with
infinity and be clear;
the sheer volume of
the incorrectness of your
education made a mess
of any hope of
your complete comprehension
of infinity’s
full expansion within the
universe that cradles the
once upon a time
lush accommodations and
plush decor of Earth
which was once very lovely,
but now has been polluted
to become ugly.
Mathematics is suited
well for this pursuit
with its ubiquitous line
of positive numbers with
mirrored counterparts,
the negatives, that start from
zero moving left
to flow infinitely toward
increasingly more intense
negativity.
All students are taught early
to note arrow heads
that denote forever rise
of the last number counted
by one more to score
the next new total before
it begins again.
Thus infinity was learned
but what concerns me is full
comprehension. So,
the construction of the key
issues was needed
to be displayed concisely
as an array of concepts
that when joined improves
the prospects of clarity
of comprehension.
The horizontal line that
shines the penetrating light
through infinity
renders but a partial sight
of the depth and breadth
of infinity’s grandness
to the right and left of the
point of origin
that brings out the importance
of the zero’s place
of prominence as the point
of intersection and of
initiation.
The points between zero and
one establishes
the bases of standardized
measure between whole numbers
to infinity.
What’s true between one and two
is true between all.
We’ve arrived at the juncture
of the infinitely small
that falls in the space
of the standardized unit
from zero to one.
To find the midpoint of one
multiply it by a half
which renders one-half.
The chart to the left, below
the number line, shows
the steady progression toward
the infinitely small scale
that fades away from
perceiving tangibles to
comprehending the
intangibles behind the
unseeable influence
of significance
to the realities we
must navigate through
to pursue evolution’s
advancement of consciousness.
So progressing from
one-half through one-sixteenth to
one over two N
extends the total midpoints
of each standardized unit
to be infinite.
So, the full X axis is
infinity squared.
One axis is a flat line
that, when combined with one more,
enshrines the grid that
plots two dimensional space
that becomes the face
of three dimensional space
that must be embraced as the
true encasement of
the tangible universe
when the Z axis
completes the concrete grid of
humankind’s understanding
of their expanding
perceptions of the events
of their changing lives.
[Joseph Ward]
Is there any connection
to the apparently tough,
unyielding, rough strife
that cuts through Tina’s fleeting
joy with a dull knife?
Your convoluted verbal
journey excluded from the
terrible future
that bodes a tortured spirit
longing for comfort
is starting to aggravate
and frustrate my low patience.
[Marlene]
Bear with me a bit
longer while I knit my
mathematical
fiber into the base cloth
upon which my case will rest.
The full face of three
dimensional space is laced
with an array of
infinity raised to the
sixth power of single points
of various size
from macro to micro scales.
If a visual
of such details is needed,
then cut a trail to explore
the world of fractals
that each displays an array
from the very large
to the microscopic scale
of the exact same image.
