The Empirical God

The overall purpose of this book is to discover the best possible definition for "God" with respect to our comprehensive body of knowledge. Defining such a complex notion entails a methodical process of extracting what we can be certain of in this existence. Faith is an incredibly valuable tool for humanity, but it is not a necessary requirement to understand who God is. The mystery of our emanation into this life has left a void in understanding our essential nature. Ultimately, careful synthesis of the environment will formulate a more complete, nuanced, and practical understanding of the human context from which we can deduce human purpose and God.

The unfortunate result of humankind synthesizing deeper understandings of purpose, truth, origin, and morality has led to exclusory doctrines that have harmfully fragmented such values. Consequently, human orientation with reality has taken a toll and must be reinvigorated. Importantly, this book is not meant to be exclusory for those who have committed to a religious doctrine that strictly defines God. In English, the word "God" can be understood as the creator and giver of life, a guiding principle, or a mystical deity in charge of human fortunes and fate. Regardless of your conception of "God," stagnating and isolating such a complex notion is harmful. By building an empirical understanding of God, "unsolvable" questions, arguments, and mysteries in philosophy become solvable.
