It is certainly not breaking news that we live in a digital age.  Our cell phones, our cars, our economy, our government, and many other things rely heavily on computers.  Have you ever considered truly why?

What is it about computer processing that aides us so much as a civilization? Is it the tremendous speed of computationally processing solutions vs a manual process?  Indeed speed is a huge benefit.  Is it the massive volume of data?  Certainly a computer database “remembers” many more things than the common man.  Is it for efficiency?  Certainly.  An ipad takes up much less space than thousands of boxes of paper records.  But the most significant advantage to choosing a digital solution I would argue is accuracy.

The reason there is accuracy is because all vague things in the world must be forced into a 0 or 1 state to convert to digital.  This rule forces accuracy.  Every digital solution and every digital file is essentially a giant collection of 0 and 1.  In modern computer science the 0 indicates false and the 1 indicates true.  That is a crucial detail.  This is called a binary decision.  You make thousands of binary decisions every day in your life.

But what are the odds on a non-biased binary decision? Well that is not hard to calculate. Let us use an example from normal life.  Here is your non-biased binary decision to make.  You have to get up early for school tomorrow.  But your favorite TV show will keep you up late!!  What do you do?  When purely indecisive on an imminent binary decision your odds of choosing 0 or 1 is (of course) 50%.  There is a 50% chance to stay up late and be miserable in the morning.  There is a 50% chance of going to bed early and feeling fresh as a daisy in the morning while people spoil the plot at the water cooler throughout the next day.

Let us now apply binary decisions to scripture to see if we can calculate a proof of God. We have all we need!  All we need are binary decisions and a copy of the King James Version Bible.  Now we calculate the God math.  I have chosen direct actions of God written in the King James Bible to lay out a theorem of existence.  Remember, IF only 1 of the following scenarios is true THEN God exists.  You need ENTIRELY ALL FALSE results in EVERY BINARY DECISION to get a confirmed non-existence  …

God Creates Earth

Genesis 1:1 – In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

God either created the earth or he did not.  If God did this he exists.  Binary decision time.

Mathematical odds of God not existing based on 1 binary decision: 50%

God Creates Man

Genesis 2:7 – And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

God either created man or he did not.  If God did this he exists.

Mathematical odds of God not existing based on 2 binary decisions: 25%

God Commands Noah to Build an Ark

Genesis 6:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

God either commanded Noah to build an ark or he did not.  If God did this he exists.

Mathematical odds of God not existing based on 3 binary decisions: 12.5%

God Appears To Abraham

Genesis 12:7 And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him.

God either appeared to Abraham or he did not.  If God did this he exists.

Mathematical odds of God not existing based on 4 binary decisions: 6.25%

God Appears To Abraham Again

Genesis 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

God either appeared to Abraham a second time or he did not.  If God did this he exists.

Mathematical odds of God not existing based on 5 binary decisions: 3.125%

God Gives Abraham and Sarah A Child

Genesis 17:19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

God gives previously barren Sarah a child at age 90 or he did not.  If God did this he exists.

Mathematical odds of God not existing based on 6 binary decisions: 1.562%

God Destroys Sodom and Gomorrah

Genesis 18:32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.

God either destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah or he did not.  If God did this he exists.

Mathematical odds of God not existing based on 7 binary decisions: 0.781%

Summary

I am about 10 pages into the book of Genesis.  We are 7 binary decisions in. With binary decision making we have set probability less than 1% of God not existing. Yes I hand-picked examples – but a binary decision MUST be made on them regardless so who cares.  I have about 1190 pages left in the King James Bible to mathematically solidify a very reasonable and rational theorem for the existence of the God of Abraham.

If I can find 3 (whoa don’t find too many!) more binary decisions for a total of 10 (.5 ^ 10 on a calculator) in the entire Bible concerning biblically documented actions of God (where just 1 action actually happening proves existence) then the odds go to about 1 in 1,000 for God not existing.

And if I can find a total of 20 binary decisions (.5 ^ 20 on a calculator) in the entire Bible concerning biblically documented actions of God (where just 1 action actually happening proves existence) then the odds go to about 1 in 1,000,000 for God not existing.

And if I can find a total of 30 binary decisions (.5 ^ 30 on a calculator) in the entire Bible concerning biblically documented actions of God (where just 1 action actually happening proves existence) then the odds go to about 1 in 1,000,000,000 for God not existing.

Do you really think we can only find 30 examples?  There were probably 30 perfectly valid binary decisions that I passed over in the first 10 pages! You can easily find 100+ binary decisions in the KJV concerning direct actions of I AM WHO AM. And if you did find those 100 binary decisions the probability of God not existing would be this number …

0.00000000000000000000000000000078886091

Isn’t that amazing! I hope you enjoyed the math.  I know I did.  I think it is very useful crunching the actual numbers utilizing unbiased binary decision making.

I’m Back

George Costanza - I'm Back Baby

There is a lot of responsibility in running a website like this.  This website is like building a church to me.  I have yet to find a church in my town that gets things right (the dates of the holidays comes immediately to mind).  I use this website as an outlet to preach what I feel needs preaching – be it locally, nationally or globally.  But this is deep stuff.  I understand that.  I have a responsibility to deliver content above and beyond your expectations (and mine).  I take that responsibility seriously.  And so I took a break.  Quite frankly I felt I was missing crucial puzzle pieces – and I cringe at the thought of delivering disinformation.

Within the past few months I have found important puzzle pieces that I truly needed.  I have found new resources that reinforce what my intuition told me all along.  I want to take this opportunity to stress the importance of learning from defectors.  There is much to learn from a fanatic who reverses course 180 degrees.  Defectors are truth archaeologists.  They bring truth to the surface that would otherwise remain a buried truth fossil to the rest of the oblivious world.  That is a beautiful thing.

For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. – Luke 8:17 KJV

And so I will preach this message.  Never give up on anyone.  Today’s fanatic may be tomorrow’s defector.  And with them comes new truths that would have remained hidden otherwise.  It is a lesson in forgiveness.  Jesus (Yahusha) in all his magnificent brilliance knew this …

Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Matthew 18:21-22 KJV

And so I pick up where we left off.  I have some new resources and some exciting new topics.  I can’t promise I will never take time off again.  I openly admit that.  I am still relatively young and I have much to learn.  This is a large responsibility.  I owe accuracy to you the reader.  Thanks for understanding!
