God-free energy and evolutionary epistemology

Abstract

This article investigates the reasons behind interwovenness and the profound philosophical thought that a God must be a part of the brain’s predictive processing entropies. The article accomplishes this by utilising South African theologian Wentzel J. van Huyssteen’s epistemological consciousness as an added benefit in examining our planet and, as a result, our cosmic universe, which transcends human God notions. This article caters for academics interested in the science-religion dispute on the existence of life inside the integrated metaphysical God. In this article, the connection between metaphysicality, free energy and Van Huyssteen’s epistemic consciousness is used as metaphor(s) in our estimates of what life is, which includes a God, as it will show that we as humans can reasonably expect to exist beyond this (the) Earth. It is therefore the primary question that resonates with the whole of the universe as well as the minute fragmentation that is humans, only recently identified as sapiens, that sigh, or even better, long for a God, that encloses the question of: are we as humans made of, organs, metabolic systems, cells, atoms, memories or passions, that are a plausible mixture of an effective cognitive and affective cocktail, so to speak?

Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: This article proposes a dual paradox that theology and science are not only in opposition yet are, juxtaposing (therefore integrating) one another. They share a very astute understanding of free energy from both a mathematical (natural sciences) and philosophical (theological) evolutionary epistemological perspective.
