(387) The predictability of religious perturbations


About the purpose of this blog

Assumption 618: The predictability of religious perturbations.

We all know that religion can lead believers through life. For them, the word of God has a depth that can best be described as divine, transcendent, metaphysical, occult and esoteric. It gives comfort and hope for the future. This clearly refers to the latest version of religion in human evolution. It is the State of the Art of Human Wisdom.

Religions are also characterized by describing and guarding the arrangements and practices of their doctrines. And they warn seriously against desecration thereof. But the failure of believers to follow doctrines is different from the perturbation of the religious process itself. And that is the reason of this blog.

Honor killings in Islam are an example of such perturbation. Islam cannot predict or prevent honor killings. Because unforeseen collateral damage of the religious process is not in the Quran. And here I give Islam the benefit of the doubt not to have institutionalized honor killings for other reasons.

Therefore, understanding and predicting unforeseen side effects of religions requires a different approach. Contemporary religions create Babylonian chaos where we need order.

For this we must see religion as a cybernetic process. Or better as a kind of time-series analysis in which we follow a fictitious set of variables through the evolution and investigate their putative interactions.




Such a process always starts at the source. And that is what this blog has aimed for. It has conceived of human religion as an ever-changing process throughout the evolution.




So in order to make predictions about the religious process itself, we first determined the primary purpose of the first bipedal primate religions, 14 million years ago. To this end, we empathically followed an imaginary cohort of hominids over time. Our conclusion is that the original purpose of hominid religions was to choose the mode of reproduction: inbreeding or outbreeding:











Disclaimer: On this blog human religion is reconstructed from supposed evolution of religious concepts and not from the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible:
