Maths, Category Theory and The Bio-Catalog

What is Category Theory?

Before we get to our key question, what makes #Mathematics an Apologetic?

What is Category Theory? (INTRO):

https://youtu.be/eXBwU9ieLL0

Can you say “morphism”?

You can use #Rings #Halos or #Slanted_Loops to transform a circle into a donut (torus).  Circle → Torus (@ 6:00 mark):

Category Theory with #Stick_Figures 🕺 

https://youtu.be/FQYOpD7tv30

A #Category consists of a group of objects (e.g. topological spaces), morphisms (maps or arrows) and composition s.t. the Associative Property [(fg)h=f(gh)] and Identity Property (Ia=aI=a) hold.  If you take your #Hyundai_Palisade and drive it thru the #Car_Wash it does not turn it into a Mercedes (which are popular w/ ladies in their 80’s). ☺  The same goes if you driver ur car backwards through the car wash!

Here are some examples of Categories and their morphisms: groups* → homomorphisms, vector spaces → linear transformations, Posets → Orderish Functions and “DJ Smooth Man’s” → smooth maps. ☺→🕺

A #Poset is a Partially Ordered Set.  For example, the Real Numbers along with the relation “less than or equal to” ≤ #LTE

Here are two examples in lattice form …

Categories have common structures, hence #Category_Theory

Inventor (Discoverer ♫) credits go to Eilenberg & Mac Lane (1945) and their paper “General Theory of Natural Equivalences.”  The key idea was natural transformation.  “Functor” comes  from Carnap and “category” from the philosophy of Aristotle, Kant, and C.S. Peirce (see below), but redefining it mathematically.

Speaking of Aristotle, what about his #Biology ?

Let’s switch gears to #Natural_Transformations Categories of Life, The Biological Catalog and #TrueTruth

This is Aristotle's Biology - limited variation within Essential Types of Life (ETL's) - horses, hydras and humans, for example.

Here is my paper on Academia:

https://www.academia.edu/40897603/Biological_Essentialism_A_Minority_Report_Jay_Hall_

I've written a whole book on the topic that came out two years before Devitt's work (Oxford Univ. Press):

www.barnesandnoble.com/w/biological-essentialism-jay-hall/1140135320

If your Father was a turtle and your Mother was a turtle, then you are a turtle.  In addition, all your children will be turtles.  The entire group is of the same Natural Kind (ETL).  Some scholars are #Brave enough to stand up against #Big_Science and oppose evolution.  Nathan Jeanson (Ph.D. Cell Biology – Harvard) for example:

https://answersingenesis.org/store/product/replacing-darwin/

Mathematician David Berlinski also opposes the standard narrative on origins.  An example closer to Darwin's time is Charles Sanders Peirce (d. 1914), who was a pioneer of symbolic logic, set theory, probability theory, semantics, and semiotics.  He rejected #Darwinism and contrasted the “Gospel of Greed” (Survival of the Fittest) with the “Gospel of Love”:  

 

The movement of love is circular, at one and the same impulse projecting creations into independency and drawing them into harmony.  This seems complicated when stated so; but it is fully summed up in the simple formula we call the Golden Rule. … [It is not] Act for the greatest good of the greatest number.  Love is not directed to abstractions but to persons; not to persons we do not know, nor to numbers of people, but to our own dear ones, our family and neighbors.  "Our neighbor," we remember, is one whom we live near, not locally perhaps but in life and feeling.

Note: The last chapter of my book Biological Essentialism makes the case that bio-essentialism naturally leads to the #Young_Earth view.

LYCOS vs. Young Earth

LYCOS is a text-based search engine (no graphics or vids) that was started in 1994 by Carnegie Mellon University.  The name "Lycos" is short for "Lycosidae", which is Latin for "wolf spider".  Lycos was funded with approximately $2M in venture capital.  In April 1996, the company completed the fastest initial public offering from inception to offering in NASDAQ history, ending its first day of trading with a market value of $300M‼  It was the first search engine to become a public company, beating Yahoo! and Excite.

But what about Young Earth Science? … I’m glad you asked.

https://lycos.com/search?kw=%22Young+Earth+Science%22

 

☢☠☣ #CAUTION #PELIGRO ♸♸♸

When I tried this on my phone, I got ads, weird sites and bad sites (PG-13, R+).

The search on my PC worked better, but was inconsistent.  Lycos provided just 5 results for the search “Young Earth Science” …

My reaction to these links …

I run the YES (Young Earth Science) blog.  It’s been around since 2014 and there’s a helpful #Search_Box to find the topic that suits your fancy.

Re: Craig Rusbult’s (Ph.D. Chemistry, UW-Madison) article on the ASA site.

Dr. Rusbult should consider the problem of the missing Stage 3 SNR’s (Supernova Remnants):

https://youtu.be/fTcfQKgcwfk

 

Here are two research projects he could initiate:

1) Go to your nearest coal mine and have a sample dated.  I predict that the coal will yield a date of less than 50K years. 

https://youngearthscienceblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/weasels-woody-and-yes.html

2) Find the missing tree rings (≥100M):

In addition, I think he’d find great edification from these works …

Response to Wiki …

Here is my Young Earth Science Wiki entry:

The Young Earth System Scientists #YESS community strive to, “Particularly support and nurture a generation of early career researchers that envision and work towards transformations to more equitable and sustainable futures.”

https://www.yess-community.org/aboutus/

Give a thought to these pointers to a #Youthful_Planet

1) Erosion Is Too Rapid for an Ancient Earth

2) Shale and Limestone Are Deposited Rapidly by Moving Water

3) There’s a Lack of Time Between Layers

4) Cold Subducted Slabs Exist Deep in the Mantle.

In the video, I quote former atheist and now Apologetics Prof Mary Jo Sharp:

 

I've only personally engaged with one person who changed his mind about God after accepting the intellectual arguments, only one "Mr. Spock" who felt he had to logically accept a different viewpoint when he recognized his own viewpoint was refuted.  I struggle with the atheist-versus-theist posturing. Both sides claim to be logical. Both sides say that their factual evidence leads to the logical conclusion.  ... as if that's the only thing going on here.  Yet what should I say of the reality of the situation?  If God is real, God is not reducible to a set of empirical facts.  If I choose to trust God, it is the kind of trust, or faith, I give to a person with whom I have a relationship.  This is not the kind of trust I would give to a scientific hypothesis or to an abstract idea such as justice.  There is no personal element in these things.  However, the Christian view of God is that he has personhood.[1]

 

Dr. Sharp appeared in Christianity Today (1st on the Left).  In 2009, she debated a Muslim in Dearborn (MI) on the topic of "Did Jesus Die on the Cross?"[2]  She worked with David Wood and the late Nabeel Asif Qureshi (d. 2017) of Acts 17 Apologetics.

 

According to Islamic tradition, there are "ten centuries" between Adam and Noah.[3]  Adam was made de novo and did not arise from pre-human ancestors in the teachings of Islam.  He is the father of all humanity.  This would seem to imply Young Earth Science (YES).  Islam and OEF's don't mix.**  Does the term   hafiz (حافظ) apply to you?  That means you've memorized the Qur'an.  One young (10 yo) hafiza from Pakistan accomplished this amazing feat in just four months‼
