With this posting (initially made 18 May 2016, revised thereafter) I have returned to building the ConserveLiberty resource.

ConserveLiberty continues its intention to drive home the point that all which is of The Natural Real World (Creation) is what it is and has become what it has become because it unfolds without restriction along paths which are entirely consistent with what Reality actually is.

All of Creation unfolds exactly as it has because of its liberty to proceed exactly as it can proceed by its own design. Understanding many of the Fundamental Rules that govern Creation probably requires a level of capacity and creativity that currently exceeds the capabilities of human minds and the resources that have been built by humans to assist them. ConserveLiberty simply exists at an early stage of that process.

That Creation has a design, referred to as "The Big Math", which governs the way it does unfold is Truthful. However, that a design exists does not necessarily imply that there has been a designer. Humans imagine that there may be a designer, because that is how many humans are designed to consider their world. Many of us are endowed with Filters that makes it seem reasonable that there IS a designer. And, an intentional designer at that. A designer that many refer to as "God."

Many believe there is a separation between "Science" and "Spirituality." What many mean by that perspective is that some things that are True can be verified, and other things that are True cannot be verified. The verifiable or the validated we lump into "Science." The rest (the unverified) we lump into "Spirituality."

ConserveLiberty considers Truths labeled as "Scientific" or "Spiritual" to be governed by the same "natural laws". We do not make distinctions between them. Rather, ConserveLiberty believes that Spiritual Truths, when actually True, are simply issues that we have not gotten clever enough to validate logically and rationally.

Yet.

Since there is no empirical evidence for an intentional and conscious designer (despite thousands of years of philosophies and religions devoted to multiple types of "Gods") this resource will not assume that there is one.

Assumptions without empirical evidence can lead anywhere one's imagination wants it to lead, and thus can (and does) easily stray from Truth. Of course, any rational skeptic understands that there could in fact be an intentional and/or conscious designer. A Preexisting Intendee.

Once we have empirical evidence, we'll alter our position on the matter. Correctly.

Still, ConserveLiberty does propose that the Fundamental Prerequisite, required for anything at all to have its "Is-ness" exists. And has so from the beginning, if there ever was one.

As ConserveLiberty is a scientifically-based resource advocating the conservation of liberty, it may be important to keep in mind the following:

The Lord (whatever It Is) impacts only naturally.

Not ever are the natural laws broken. Ever.

Nature doesn't convert. It reacts. It selects. It unfolds.

In an ideal world, all of the postings within the ConserveLiberty resource would be timeless - meaning that their message is valid in the abstract, that the stated idea exists apart from current events. In addition, ideally, anything posted would be empirically verifiable so that it can be tested, modified, and built upon as new information becomes available.

And yet, there are Truths everywhere within Creation that are not currently empirically verifiable although they may (as all things Natural eventually may) be verifiable in the future. These currently unverifiable or not well understood Truths have been traditionally categorized as either "mysterious" or as "spiritual." ConserveLiberty considers the "mysterious" and the "spiritual" as equivalent. We will often refer to these simply as the spiritual.

Importantly, as the spiritual becomes understood empirically in the future it does not actually change. The boundaries of the spiritual do not recede. That which is the spiritual (today, not empirically verifiable) is simply better understood.

From time to time, examples, which are a powerful means of illustrating and making the abstract more clear, will be used. Most folks have the experience that concrete examples drive concepts home nicely.

As ConserveLiberty delves more into real world Truths understood best now from a spiritual dimension, examples will be given to illustrate those concepts until they can be probed more empirically.
