Genesis and the Power of True Assumptions

by John C. Rankin
Genesis and the Power of True Assumptions
Genesis and the Power of True Assumptions

Examining assumptions through biblical and mathematical lenses.

If you're fascinated by the intersections between faith, mathematics, and philosophy, "Genesis And The Power Of True Assumptions" could be a thought-provoking journey for you. John Rankin weaves together the biblical text of Genesis with Kurt Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems to explore fundamental assumptions underpinning our understanding of the world. This book promises to offer a novel perspective by drawing connections between theology and science, which could deepen your appreciation of both realms.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

We all make assumptions, and the question is to what extent they are true or false. How well do we test our assumptions? This book discusses foundational ideas in mathematics and science, including Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems, which show limits to proving all truths within any sufficiently strong formal system. It suggests that some truths must be assumed for mathematics and science to work, while also exploring the greatest starting assumption in Genesis: "In the beginning God created." The pages consider positive assumptions beginning in Genesis 1–2 and interpret the Bible and life. It offers an overview of theology, cultural and political conflict, and the deeper reality of spiritual conflict. The author reflects on Moses, Daniel, and Paul as figures who embody deep understanding of the written Word, knowledge of pagan religions and politics, and guidance by the Holy Spirit.
