Knowledge is the one true god.

In the book "The Mind of God" Paul Davies lists some of the properties
of the laws of nature, universal, absolute and eternal (rather godlike
qualities.) We have a host of gods, and are fervently looking for the
one god that rules them all...

Yes, we can rid the cosmos of many prior anthromorphic stereotypes, but
our nomothetical descriptions are doomed to remain as part of our
understanding of it or predictions of its behaviors.

The Mind of God is a 1992 non-fiction book by Paul Davies. Subtitled
The Scientific Basis for a Rational World, it is a whirlwind tour and
explanation of theories, both physical and metaphysical, regarding
ultimate causes. Its title comes from a quotation from Stephen Hawking:
"If we do discover a theory of everything...it would be the ultimate
triumph of human reason-for then we would truly know the mind of
God."

Are we?
Are we "fervently looking for the one god that rules them all........?"
Maybe all gods are equal like we are.
Why should there be a ONE with all power?
More likely to be a Collective or a conglomorate or a many.

Yes, it's called the "Theory of Everything".

If true, then the scientists looking for a ToE will surely fail.

History hasn't shown knowledge to be absolute, universal or eternal.
Ontological arguments have us flailing. Epistemology remains an enigma
to any serious inquisitor. Is knowledge universal, absolute and
eternal? Probably not. It seems more likely that it is fleeting,
uncertain and subjective.

What is out there to be "known" is universal, but I am uncertain it is
absolute and eternal since it is unknown if there was a beginning or will be
an end of the universe. It is also theorized that certain "laws" break down
during a pre big bang mass contraction. If that is the case then universal
knowledge could, theoretically, change.

I like the above very much. A nice addition.
