The strength of Herrmann's model is that it was developed not based on Biblical teachings or any religious ideas but based on secular methodologies in mathematical analysis. Yet, it has important implications relevant to Christianity and creationism. Dr. Herrmann has published dozens of research level papers in technical level journals in mathematics, theoretical physics, as well as periodicals such as the Creation Research Society Quarterly and the Journal of the American Scientific Affiliation. Language, Nature, and Mind Linguistics, formal symbolic logic, and mathematical logic all have one thing in common in that they all involve combining symbol strings according to various definitions and rules. Dr. Herrmann makes the point that linguistic patterns in language follow logical patterns that correspond to events in the natural world.
Linguistic patterns follow event patterns.
A computer is a good illustration of this in a man-made device. All a computer's operations can be written out in terms of what is known as Boolean logic, a symbolic way of showing the processes carried out in a computers electronics. The on and off switching of voltages and signals in the computer parallel symbolic expressions. Transistor circuits are constructed to produce output signals which follow the appropriate logic operations. Thus, there is a parallel between the symbolic logic and the actual physical processes.
