Animalism, temporality, and ethics

From the point of view of biblical tradition, the ultimate purpose of the world is deification, the possibility of which is due to the creation of everything from nothing. In the context of theological tradition, creation means non-self-being; this is the reason for the constant variability of the universe. Biblical revelation presupposes the assumption of a special kind of ontology of creation: the constancy inherent in the things of this world is not the constancy of the unchanging essence, but the constancy of the law, the rule of change itself. Dynamism, originally manifested by God in the very act of creation from nothing, is imprinted in the very nature of created nature. And the pathos of the scientific revolution of modern times lies precisely in the discovery of mathematically formulated dynamic laws of nature, describing not states, but processes. Thus, physics, which arose as a result of the study of the Book of Nature, offers powerful arguments in favor of the fact that not only the being of the whole world is relative - relative to God - but all existence is existence relative to something. Quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity have only strengthened the arguments in favor of the relativity of being. Thanks to the development of science, which arose as a way of reading the Book of Nature, mutually complementary to the Bible, we have come close to a new understanding of the dynamism of the world, an understanding of the universal relativity of being. It follows from this that by changing our internal, mental state, our own way of existence, we can influence the external reality, the entire universe.
