The purpose of this project is show that there are viable
developments of traditional religion. The first step is to

world.

assume, takers over where biology leaves off to increase the
fitness of human groups. Religious unity promotes
cooperation and eradicates war. War remains, however,
between disparate religious groups.

The Roman Catholic Church
(RCC): The RCC is a corporation which claims a monopoly on
Christianity. In the past it has used torture and murder to
enforce its claims. The modern Church is a little more
civilized, but it remains a monopolistic and dictatorial
anachronism. Here is plays the 'bad guy' role.

Science: Science is a
method of seeking knowledge which holds that the models of
the world we create in our minds can only be trusted if they
test good against reality. Scientific model that work better
are to be trusted more.

Theology: Theology is the
science of god, here taken to be the whole. By attempting to
embrace the whole human situation, theology hopes to provide
a general coordinate system to guide our actions.

|
Problem: The specific
problem for theology is the relationship between god and the
world, that is between the whole and the parts. We are parts
of the whole, and need a reliable theology to see how we fit
in.

Hypothesis; Our
hypothesis is that the whole ('god' and 'the world') can be
modelled with a 'transfinite network', a formal structure we
imagine as a transfinite number of computing machines
('Turing machines') linked into a communication network.

|
Plan: Our plan is to develop
and test this hypothesis, and encourage others to do the
same. If we find that the model fits both human experience
and traditional notions of God, we can use it to live more
securely in our divine milieu.
