other

Jiang does not settle for an evolutionary explanation alone and instead presses toward the question of where empathy is actually located or grounded.

Jiang explanatory model restated on 2026-06-16.

model

Jiang restates his model that God creates the laws of the universe, those laws generate everything including evolution and human bodies, and human uniqueness begins only where God directly touches humans by putting part of himself into them.

Jiang contrast stated on 2026-06-15 between modern schooling and Dante's cosmology.

model

Jiang says modern education trains students to think of the universe as emergent from basic principles, but he presents Dante as rejecting that picture in favor of intentional design and divine differentiation.

Student question voiced on 2026-06-15.

question

A student asks whether Darwinian or emergent processes could themselves be instruments of divine design rather than a contradiction to it.

Jiang answer begun on 2026-06-15.

model

Jiang begins answering by describing the evolution-versus-intelligent-design debate as a dispute over whether order comes from intention or from impersonal selection and survival.

Jiang interpretive contrast stated on 2026-06-15.

model

Jiang says the evolutionary picture under discussion treats the universe as independent of God, whereas Beatrice's account says God is always present through differentiated shining.

Cosmological model stated on 2026-01-07.

model

Matter emerges when universal vibrations slow, but material reality remains interconnected with the spiritual; bodies arise through evolution while consciousness arises through the universe's vibrations.
