The behavior classified by some as the "sin of Satan" is pride or arrogance. For my purposes, it is specifically the aspect that claims that humankind is intelligent enough to comprehend all of God's wondrous methods and purposes. Mostly, this comprehension is displayed to others using various "languages," and this often includes human modes of deduction.
As an example, one of the more perplexing notions not specifically mentioned within the Bible but that is deduced from human forms of logic and language is the idea of "material creation out of nothing." On page 210 of the book I write,
The GGU-model does predict partially, very partially, the behavior of a background universe, the ultranatural world. It predicts the unperceived "ultimate subparticle" model that should not be imagined as an actual object. One should avoid the strong human tendency to "picture think" and, in this case, replace it with mere operational statements. The model rationally predicts the important "lack of knowledge notion." This notion cannot be eliminated from the model. You can, as many scientists do, ignore its significance by considering it as but an extraneous result.
We can ask all types of questions about theological concepts. The atheistic community uses this as their major tool in discrediting supernatural beliefs. Many questions can be asked. "What type of stuff comprises God's Spirit?" "It's it irrational to believe that God created any thing out of absolutely nothing that has ever existed? "How can God just think of something and it comes into being?" "How can God know the past, present and future and does this not contradict my concept of absolute free-will?" "How can a 'good' God allow . . . ." "Did God create evil?" Indeed, many such questions are answerable in various ways, even directly by GGU-model mechanisms. But, the answers are simply not acceptable to the "arrogant" minded atheist who requires detailed and humanly comprehensible answers. Maybe even some "laboratory demonstrations." Of course, this method is not new and, yet, many individuals, as I did for years, still spend considerable effort in concocting similar questions. It's contended that only if acceptable answers are forthcoming would any but the most ignorant believe in any such Biblical God.
One does not need a particular in-depth analysis of the various ultralogics used in the GGU-model for universe creation to be convinced that the "higher intelligence" signature represents a mode of intelligence that cannot be duplicated by humankind. However, aside from this ID interpreted signature, the behavior an ultralogic has as an operator, at least, can be partially described in a humanly comprehensible language. In the pure physical-like interpretation, the notion of the higher intelligence signature can be regarded as but an artifact of the modeling processes. So, how does the GGU-model come to our aid when confronted with questions that may seem to be impossible to answer satisfactory?
The GGU-model is based upon the coding of actual languages and then embedding this coding into a mathematical structure. These languages represent all modes of standard human perception. When a deep analysis is applied to the natural laws, the scientific theories and the physical events describable by these languages, startling conclusions emerge from the hidden confines of the structure, conclusions that cannot be eliminated. The model predicts the rational existence of ultranatural laws and ultranatural theories that behave, generally, in the same "linguistic" manner as the original laws and theories. But, there is a vast difference in one aspect, the "descriptive ultranatural language" that also rationally exists.
This ultranatural language behaves, in general, like the original standard language; it includes the original languages and a vast amount of additional "language," a pure nonstandard language, which cannot be "comprehended" by means of any aspect of standard human perception. Expressions from this language can be totally or partially nonstandard in content. They can also be composed completely of standard components. There is nothing I can do about these predictions. They are there in the structure. They will not cease to exist. It is certainly possible that such questions, if they were indeed meaningful, would require such a "higher" language and enhanced comprehension to accurately answer. So, although devoutly arrogant atheists who consider humankind capable of all knowledge would certainly reject this possibility, the possibility is rationally obtained not through some philosophic dialect but rather by means of pure mathematical deduction.
Is it possible that such a language has scriptural support?
The first CRSQ editor with whom I dealt, Armstrong, agreed with me as do some commentaries that this result predicts the clear intent of Paul's statement in 2 Cor 12.2. ". . . our unacquaintedness with the language of the upper world" (Matthew Henry). "Paul had not the power adequately to utter; nor if he had would he have been permitted; nor would earthly man comprehend" (R. A. Faussett). The scriptures seem to teach that we may be accorded more information once we are no longer in our fallen state. So, at present, I accept that I do not possess the communication skills required by some to answer many of these types of questions. But, might we now have a slightly more refined notion of creation out of nothing? There is one entity that most agree has existed forever and will never cease to exist. This is God's Spirit. There may be a "higher form of deduction" using the nonstandard language that would convincing and rationally establish that Spirit stuff is transmuted into the unperceived and immaterial ultranatural world. However, since it's not possible for me, as yet, to comprehend such an argument, then I am content with simply stating that all there is and all there every will be has come from God through application of "pure thought."
In my book "Science Declares Our Universe IS Intelligently Designed," I discuss the significance of one of the more remarkable GGU-model predictions. Clearly, the mathematical operators that model a "higher intelligence" correlate to the Bibles many declarations that God's ways are not our ways, and that His intelligence is greater than anything that we can possibly reproduce or comprehend.
The notion that God created everything out of nothing still holds in this model. If you consider the meaning of "nothing" as "a state of nonexistence," then this holds for the ultranatural world. This "world" did not exist, in any manner, until it was "thought of" by God. It's the "world" consisting of the methods that God uses to create both the supernatural and the natural. . . . The Hebrews 11:3 and Romans 1:19-23 statements hold. . . .
Notice the phrase "thought of by God." Why have I stated this in such a naïve manner? As I'll explain, this phrase is a direct acknowledgment that what I'm dealing with is an analogue model for behavior, behavior that most probably cannot be communicated in any more concrete describable manner to us while we are in our present physical and fallen mode.
