Yes — but only in law, never in reality.
The legal state does not create a man.
The legal state creates a legal statutory person — a some-thing in law.
The Biblical Foundation — Galatians 6:3
“For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.”
A man is not a thing.
A man (a living soul) is a living creation of God.
In Scripture, nothing does not deny creation.
It denies legal status, title, and fabricated identity.
A man who believes he is a legal “something”
— a person, natural person, or human defined by statute —
deceives himself.
The Birth Event (No Legal Being)
A child is born.
This birth:
- is a living act of God,
- is not created by the state,
- carries no legal being at law.
The child is:
- not a legal person,
- not a natural person (legal fiction),
- not a statutory human,
- not a thing.
- not a citizen
At law, the child exists as a no-thing.
The Legal Conversion Process
The state then intervenes after the fact.
From the birth event, the state:
- creates a statutory paper record,
- assigns a surname and number,
- declares by statute that this record shall be treated as a person.
This is the critical mechanism:
Out of a no-thing natural child, adding legal status via state surnaming to make a legal statutory person some-thing.
This some-thing is:
- a legal fiction,
- a statutory construct,
- a thing in law,
- capable of debt, duty, taxation, licensing, and regulation.
What the Birth Certificate Is — and Is Not
The birth certificate:
- does not represent the child,
- does not describe the man,
- does not evidence consent,
- does not create life.
It is:
- a state-issued record,
- evidencing the creation of a legal person,
- existing only in law, paper, and databases.
The record is the person.
The person is the thing.
The thing is not the man.
Why “Natural Person” and “Human” Remain Fiction
The terms:
- person
- natural person
- human
are legal theories, not beings.
They are:
- interchangeable statutory labels,
- all equally fictional,
- all incapable of life.
Law cannot define a creature.
Law can only define status.
Thus:
- natural person ≠ man
- human ≠ man
- person ≠ man
All are some-things of law.
Final Truth Statement
The state does make a legal statutory person from a no-thing natural child by adding legal status via surnaming — but it does not and cannot make a man.
A man who believes he is that legal some-thing
abandons truth for fiction.
Where truth stands, legal fiction collapses.
