The Death of the Mosaic God and the Birth of the Scientific-Cosmological God
Introduction: The Death of the Mosaic God and the Birth of the Old-New God Friedrich Nietzsche's historical declaration regarding the death of God—"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to cleanse ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent?" (The Gay Science, Section 125, 1882; see also: Thus Spoke Zarathustra, 1883)—signified the decline of traditional religious hegemony and the rise of man as the center. However, approximately 150 years after this proclamation, following the death of religious hegemony and the rise of secularism and man as the center, a new God is born. This is an old-new God: a God proven precisely by science itself, which discovers that a non-fully explained lawfulness exists within the structure of the cosmos. This revolutionary conception does not reject the roots; rather, it relies and depends entirely upon the original sources, while expanding them into the new scientific, mathematical, and cosmological language.
