Theological Argument: Appeal to a Creator

First drafted 1988 Published 2008 Revised 2011

by Joey Lawsin

Lawsin’s Theological Argument, as discussed in his book "Creation by Law", is a thought-provoking perspective on existence that challenges traditional views of divine creation. At its core, this argument suggests that everything in the universe exists because other things cause it to exist, without the need for a divine creator. This concept is rooted in the Generated Interim Emergence Theory, which posits that the universe originates from intuitive materials (natural elements) and inherent instructions (natural laws), evolving over time to create complex systems. 

A simplified form of the Theological Argument:

1. Everything in the universe exists due to materials and instructions.

2. The universe originates from these natural elements and laws.

3. Therefore, all things, including God, are created through natural processes without the need for a divine creator.

For instance, fire comes into being because it requires oxygen, heat, fuel, and a chemical reaction. If one of these elements is missing, fire will not exist. Nature can create fire as well because these aforementioned elements are naturally present in the environment, and when they come together, fire ignites. This illustrates the idea that creation doesn't need a human or divine being. 

Similarly, clouds and rain are formed by the interaction of water vapor, temperature, and atmospheric pressure. Water vapor rises due to the heat from the sun, cools and condenses in the upper atmosphere, forming clouds. When these clouds become saturated, the condensed water droplets fall back to Earth as rain. This natural cycle does not require a divine being, only the combinations of intuitive materials and embedded instructions of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

Rainbows, another natural phenomenon, occur when sunlight is refracted, dispersed, and reflected in water droplets. The physics behind this beautiful display is a clear example of how natural elements and inherent laws work together to create what we perceive. Oceans, weather patterns, and other earthly phenomena arise from the interactions of various natural elements like water, air, and earth, governed by natural laws such as gravity and geological processes.

Even the formation of stars, planets, and galaxies can be explained without a divine creator. Stars form from the gravitational collapse of gas clouds, primarily hydrogen and helium, which initiate nuclear fusion. This process creates light and heat, driving the life cycle of stars. Planets and galaxies form through similar interactions of cosmic elements and physical laws.

In essence, Lawsin's argument is that the universe and all its phenomena are the result of natural elements and inherent laws working together in a self-sustaining, emergent process. This perspective, known now as Inscription by Design, suggests that everything exists because of the interaction and evolution of these natural components, without the need for a divine creator. 

Illustrating this concept in another perspective, Lawsin employs a metaphor involving a marble and a set of rules. The marble, a self-replicating entity, adheres to an instruction dictating that it must generate another marble every second. Following this prescribed setup, the initial marble doubles within a second, resulting in two marbles. Subsequently, each of these two marbles produces yet another marble after two seconds, leading to a total of four. This process continues, with the marble population doubling at each interval: 8, 16, 32, and so forth. Remarkably, after the passage of one billion years, the universe of marbles takes shape—a testament to the power of Lawsin’s fundamental principles.

From the illustration, the universe was created without a human creator. Rather than a deliberate design, the universe’s form emerges organically from the interactions of individual marbles and their basic instructions. The marbles themselves are not conscious designers; they merely follow the inherent rules governing their existence. Thus, the universe, akin to a vast assembly of marbles, unfolds without the need for a human hand to shape it. It was not even the very first marble that designed the universe. The design just shaped because of the principle behind the Theory of Generated Interim Emergence.

The universe of marble just emerged even without a human creator. Each marble was the cause of why the universe of marble was created. If planet Earth is one of these marbles, and we are one of these marbles as well, then it is just right to say that we humans also shaped the universe since we have been the product and part of the creation process. Humans created the universe because each one of us was a part of the whole. We created the universe. You and I created the universe. Everyone created the universe. Everything exists because other things cause it to exist and thus Evolution and Creation create variations.

In summary, this idea invites us to reconsider the origins of our cosmos, emphasizing the inherent laws that govern its existence, independent of any conscious creator. The universe, like a mosaic of marbles, emerges spontaneously, transcending the need for human intervention in its design. 

The  theological argument also focuses on understanding God's Nature: such as His omnipotence (all-powerful), omniscience (all-knowing), and omnipresence (present everywhere); and God's Existence:  like  the cosmological, teleological, and ontological, which aim to provide rational justifications for the God's existence.

Thus, based on his Creator Argument, also known as Appeal to a Creator, Lawsin concluded that the concept that God created the universe is a misconception. His conclusion, in addition of refuting the existence of God, is further supported by more compelling evidence as highlighted by the links below:
1. Cosmogenic Argument
2. Originemological Argument
3. Phrenological Argument

4. Computational Argument
5. Genesis of Religion / Christianity
6. New and Old Testament Conflicts
7. Jews and Christians Great Divide
8. The Bible proves God Doesn't Exist

9. Philophilia Argument | Heaven Argument

"Every creature is a living instruction that runs the algorithm of nature." ~ Joey Lawsin

*Inscriptionist  - sometimes called Lawsinist, is an individual with a passion in seeking or hunting the natural laws of the universe. Inscriptionists are inspired to uncover the beauty and elegance of formulas, equations, and natural laws in every nook and cranny of the universe to unearth the central dogma of life known as the Single Theory of Everything. Inscriptionism is its philosophical doctrine.

About the Author :

Joey Lawsin is the author behind the new school of thought "Inscription by Design". He is a revisionist who wants to change the world by rewriting the textbooks with new concepts that debunk the old scientific, theological, and philosophical ideas of antiquity. He published a book in Physics, created a conscious machine known as Autognorics, and formulated the Mother of all Theories "The Single Theory of Everything". The article above is an excerpt from his book "The Bible Proves God Does not Exist".
