Perhaps you're wondering: Why a "World Pandeism Day"? Well, all sorts of things have a "world day" proclaimed for them -- there's a World Peace Day on September 21 and a World Theatre Day on March 27, and even a World Backup Day on March 31 (don't forget to back up your data!!)

 

And why July 22?

 

You might know that March 14 (3.14 in American denotations) is Pi Day (I have seen it called "World Pi Day," somewhat extraneously, the numbers already being universal).

 

And every July 22, some especially niche segment of the mathematical celebrates Pi Approximation Day (22/7 decimally being an approximate value of pi, 3.14285712...., the closest to actual pi that can be conveniently approached with a fraction.

​

Indeed, oddly enough 22/7 is the best fractional equivalent to be gotten out of any lower fraction (having a two-digit numerator), with the next best being a numerator somewhere over the number 200. So it's a pretty poetic indicator of the mathematical complexity of our Universe that the fraction best representing pi is one which is, as well, susceptible to being a calendar date.

 

For Pandeism, pi proffers not simply an exercise in alliteration, but a reference to the mathematical logic underlying our existence, an analogue to the logical Creator using a mathematical methodology to model the contours of our Universe as thusly created. Our Universe exhibits normality and appeal to mathematical description.

 

Plus, in much of the Northern Hemisphere this is usually a nice late-summer day, which is exactly the sort of day one ought to associate with the laid back philosophy of Pandeism.

 

So enjoy your World Pandeism Day going forward (and all the ones you didn't know you'd had in the past)!!

 

Blessings!!
