NOTES
This works challenges both theologians and sociologists.For theologians, original sin is portrayed by Saint Augustine, around 1700 years ago. His formulation has been discredited by the science of genetics. If Adam and Eve associate to the Developed Neolithic, then they cannot be the parents of all humanity. On January 2, 2024, Razie Mah proposes, in his blog, that a second doctrine of originial sin should be proposed, with the hypothesis of the first singularity in mind.For sociologists, who have set forth the notion of the post-truth condition as a way to model post-modern society, especially after 1989, theory flounders on the rocks of explicit abstraction. Explicit abstractions cannot picture or point to the inherent relationality within implicit abstraction. Triadic relations cannot be observed and measured. Yet, humans adapt to their potentials. This work shows diagrammatic techniques that place explicit abstractions into relational structures characteristic of implicit abstraction. Diagrams of judgment and the category-based nested form abound.In short, when a theologian looks at sociological theory concerning the post-truth condition, reflecting in the mirror of theology, the image should call to mind original sin.When the scientist looks at the second doctrine of original sin, reflecting in the mirror of science, the image should call to mind the post-truth condition.Look and see.Part 1 of 3. See website for bio. Since the 1920s, Augustine's doctrine of original sin has been drained, wasted by scientific skepticism of the idea that Adam and Eve are the father and mother of all humanity.Ironically, once Augustine's bottle of original sin was spent, the entire world became uncorked. It is so bad that today, everyone wonders whether "what is currently corked" will one day come "uncorked". And, visa versa!On Jan. 2, 2024, in his blog, Razie Mah challenges Christian theologians. The time has come to stamp the grapes for a second version of the doctrine of Original Sin. The time has come to bottle the fermentation of a new mash of theology and science.Hold on. What if the jars of a second doctrine of Original Sin are already prepared in the valleys of postmodernism and the mountains of progressivism? Are the bottles ready to be "uncorked"... one may say, in a strange re-enactment of the wedding feast in Cana?The time has not yet come. But, please, lower the ladle and taste
