PREFACE
Suppose you're reading a science fiction story in which the author has concocted the following scenario. Morning newspapers carried banner headlines and articles about a startling scientific discovery. An eminent group of scientists from the National Institutes of Health produced life from nonliving material. The articles also state that millions and millions of years ago this is how life was first produced on our planet.
Shortly after this news broke, there were special radio and TV programs featuring the world's foremost scientists. These authorities gave extensive details of this major scientific accomplishment. It's estimated that, in less than three days, over four billion individuals were exposed to these scientific pronouncements.
This fictional account claims that one such group lives in a cave in the Rocky mountains. However, it's "obvious" that these people are demented for they reject this major scientific achievement. They adhere to their personal belief that human beings evolved from vegetables. Further, it's alleged, that these vegetables were deposited on our planet by a group of highly intelligent aliens. These human "seeds," so to speak, were planted supposedly only 100,000 years ago near a lake in Texas. These cave dwellers have held this belief ever since they secluded themselves.
It's clear to many observers that these modern cave dwellers are just plain "crazy." They refuse to accept these scientific statements as valid, they refuse to change there beliefs. But since they don't venture much beyond their cave and don't seem to bother our civilized society, the state police is not inclined to move them to the proper mental institution for observation and care.
Before continuing your reading, you think about this fictional situation for a few moments. Maybe they're not totally demented. Maybe there's some other reason why this group believes in such an absurd possibility, especially since science has proved them wrong.
As the story continues, you're told that their minds are being controlled by their seven foot tall leader. Whatever it says they believe, for it has some sort of ability to alter their thought patterns. They claim their leader came to Earth and landed in its space ship some 110 miles from the north pole, and it's actually "growing" a small number of personal aids from seed pods.
The story also states that members of the Christian community are very disturbed by these cave dwellers since some Christians have abandon their beliefs and have joined with this cult as it's now called. But, the greatest blaspheme of all is that they've given their leader the name "Jesus."
There's one more interesting aspect to this scenario. These strange cave dwellers actually claim that everyone else's mind is warped and controlled in one way or another, that all the world, except them, has been deceived and "evilly" brainwashed by its scientific leaders. The prior Christians who joined this cult, sent the following letter to the editor of the local newspaper, and he actually printed it.
"Many of you claim that we are members of an insane cult because we belief life was 'planted' on Earth by aliens and grows from vegetable-like seeds. You claim that we have altered our beliefs and are 'backsliders,' as you term our condition. You claim that we have been 'brainwashed' by our leader. But, haven't many of you, in the so-called Christian community, also been 'brainwashed.' Haven't you changed your strongly held beliefs in light of various scientific statements? Isn't it true that you no longer believe that all human life came from one and only one human being, and he was formed from dead dry dust of the ground by your God and given a living soul when your God breathed into his nostrils? This shows clearly, doesn't it, that your minds are being controlled by something and you've altered your beliefs. So don't call us strange, especially when we do no harm, stay by ourselves in our cave, and we love our leader very much."Of course, this entire story is fiction and no part of it could occur in reality, could it? I mean, in the real world, individuals who contradict established scientific fact must have some type of mental problem or their minds must be controlled by some very powerful force. However, what if, in reality, the converse is true as claimed by the cave dwellers? If, indeed, your mind, the mind of a Christian, is being controlled, then who or what is doing the controlling, how is it being done, and for what purpose? Is it even remotely possible that there exists an insidious campaign by powerful scientific organizations and charismatic scientific "authorities" to deceive you, to control your freedom of mental choice, to destroy your personal philosophy and to rob you of your hard earned money?
With respect to the portrayed scientific pronouncements and its relation to the "origins" problem, is it really possible to know, by acceptable scientific means, how life began on Earth, how life evolved, how the Earth or our universe was formed? What, if anything, can the radiation that falls upon us from outer space tell us about the formation of the cosmos?
The major purpose for this book is to warn Christians and others who believe in a supernatural deity that they are being deceived by many within the scientific community and the communication media; and to show why they're being so deceived, how this deception is being accomplished, how to recognize this deception, how to eliminate its effects, and how to know the truth. The second purpose of this book is not just to answer the above "origin" questions accurately but to do so in a manner that you can understand. I'll present some of the most startling scientific conclusions you've ever read - conclusions that can be verified.
What are these "startling" scientifically derived conclusions? Well, you could start reading this book at chapter 8 - the last chapter - where some of the most remarkable of these conclusions can be found. Unfortunately, you'll also find there various terms and expressions that will prove to be unfamiliar. Indeed, half of this book is my attempt to make all of these new terms and expressions very familiar so that you'll truly appreciate what chapter 8 implies.
Throughout this book, unless I state that what I'm writing should be treated as speculation, I'll be writing facts and nothing but facts. Further, I either quote or reference approximately 100 Bible verses. In chapter 1, I first give a brief personal testimony. You'll discovery how, in 1977, an atheist scientist had his own "Damascus road" experience and was turned away from a life of destruction, and from a pathway leading straight to spiritual death and damnation. I'll describe the remarkable Spiritual events that yielded the discovery of the mathematical procedures that lead to the a scientific model for the Scripturally described "mind of God," the D-world, the GGU and MA-models and much more.
I'll explain how scientists communicate and how such communication is often chosen purposely to force on you false information that masquerades as scientific fact. This erroneous information has a chilling mind controlling effect since, among other things, it requires you to abandon incorrectly your personal Christian beliefs. The concept of content is extensively discussed since it's within this area that the actual false doctrine, so to speak, is presented. Facts and examples are given that show how some scientists and science reporters incorrectly use, purposely I think, a positive language in their descriptions of scientific conclusions. This linguistic procedure can only be characterized as a purposeful deception for I don't assume that these scientists and science reporters (the science writers) are stupid or lack the appropriate knowledge.
In chapter 2, I'll show you how scientific discourse has changed over the years, and that such discourse is based upon collections of what are called self-evident statements that can't be verified scientifically. Indeed, you'll see how different groups of scientists can selected contradictory self-evident statements and each group can still apply the so-called scientific method. But some scientists mold certain statements in such a linguistic fashion that they appear to represent fact when, in reality, the statements are either false or have no truth value. I'll show that the Scriptures also contain important self-evident statements, and how the scientific community is ignoring some of its fundamental responsibilities to humanity.
I'll show you philosophies that some scientists are forcing on you without you being aware of their insidious intentions. It's shown how, under certain circumstances, you'll be required to accept science fiction as fact and change your Christian beliefs or suffer grave consequences. You'll see how the scientific method requires that Nature follow many of the patterns of human thought, and I'll quote extensively from others who have suggested that this is fact. Some significant concepts are introduced that might be new to you. You'll understand how the philosophy of scientism contradicts the Scriptures specifically and how scientism can be proved mathematically to be a lie. You'll learn exactly how your mental well-being is affected if you accept scientism and Christianity as both being valid belief-systems.
In the first section of chapter 3, the notion of the signature of God is introduced, and some of the behavior of the subparticle is illustrated, behavior that shows that, within Nature, God may have stamped one of His most important attributes upon the microworld of subatomic physics. Many examples from scientific and philosophic literature, from TV programs, and the like are given that demonstrate some of the deceptive tactics. These examples begin in the 1700s and show specifically that from Freuerback, to Marx, to national government policies, to the humanists and scientists of today, that very destructive assumptions were and are made about the logical basis of fundamental Christianity. Absolute evidence is given to justify these conclusions. Since it has been known for years that these assumptions are false, this shows specifically how your thinking is being controlled and truth distorted completely. It's also shown how I've attempted to warn the scientific community, either directly or through scientific publications, about their incorrect use of scientific communication. Evidence is given that shows how science reporters are actually communicating false conclusions while they purposely ignore or don't report upon the truth. Remember that these are the individuals we assume are reporting truthfully on scientific conclusions in your newspapers or news magazines. Using this chapter as a guide, you should be able to translate many of the so-called scientific statements you hear on radio or see in popular scientific literature or on TV, into the correct statements. This will help you avoid these mind controlling influences and reject much of the "garbage" to which you're exposed.
In the next chapters, I'll "prove" that you should first develop a personal belief-system, including religious concepts, not based upon some scientific theory of what might have occurred in the far-past but, rather, based upon your personal experiences.
So as not to hide the methods I've used to obtain the chapter 8 conclusions, I begin in chapter 4 explanations for the basic concepts, terms and expressions needed to understand fully my research findings and present an introduction to the most significant. Then many of the startling conclusions of my research are presented and their meanings explained. Also, I begin the specific investigation that establishes that every Bible statement that compares God's supernatural mental qualities with those of any Natural biological object are rational scientifically. This destroys the foundations of all those humanistic philosophies that claim the opposite - that claim falsely that the Bible is irrational. You'll read four exceptionally important statements that are fact and that prove that there's a great scientific deception. These statements establish that many members of the secular scientific community are lying to the general public. Furthermore, these facts cannot be refuted as long as scientists use mathematics to obtained their theory predictions.
I'll explain in a simple language, that you'll understand easily, how scientists use mathematics to help create their speculative theories. This chapter ends with a further discussion of the significance of these startling conclusions and presents another research finding that will alter your perception of what can be learned from theoretical science. Indeed, it shows that we can learn almost nothing from secular science as to what processes actually produced the universe in which we dwell, the Earth on we live, and life itself.
In chapters 5, the actual historical background for the scientific problems I solved is given, a solution that leads directly to MA-model conclusions. You'll notice that the very first step in the solution required Scriptural guidance. Although the General Grand Unification Model (the GGU-model) solves what, I'm told, are the three most important questions on the books of physics, the need for Scriptural guidance would tend to force the secular community to reject my solutions. However, I'm convinced that the secular community will never find a complete solution to these problems without the solution being consistent with the Scriptures. I continue to introduce more of the necessary concepts, terms, expressions and specific methods since I don't want anything hidden from you as to how these results are obtained. Simple cause and effect diagrams are used to explain the origins problem. Scientifically, did our universe have a beginning? Will it have an end? Is it possible that our universe never had a beginning and will never end? I'll explain how various secular models for the time evolution of our universe have attempted to solve this origins problem but have failed to do so.
Chapter 6 is more technical than the previous chapters. It will take more effort on your part to grasp the concepts involved. But, considering the importance of these concepts to the Christian community, I'm sure you'll do the best that you can. Just take your time. Re-read various portions, study and reflect upon the concepts involved. Do not expect instantaneous comprehension. Indeed, consider your presuppositions. A lack of understanding may be caused by the facts I present and their relation to unverified assumptions. In this chapter, I list the five self-evident statements that are needed to obtain the linguistic D-world model. You should easily grasp the difference between a description for the appearance of a Natural system as it changes with time and the concept of the corresponding real Natural phenomenon as it changes with time. Most important of all, I'll introduce you to a few more new terms and explain how these terms relate to a few, very simple, linguistic processes that each of us use every day. Further, how these linguistic processes would behave when viewed from the D-world model is discussed in detail. You don't need to know how this model is mathematically obtained in order to understand immediately that if you compare these processes as they're performed by the human mind with their counterparts within the D-world model, then the D-world model leads to the General Intelligent Design model (the GID-model) the mirrors the behavior of a prodigious higher intelligence, an intelligence of an almost unimaginable power. Also, in the chapter, is introduced the first physical-like terminology that's necessary to understand the wondrous workings of the GGU-model.
In the first part of chapter 7, it's mention that D-world model concepts were used in 1981 to predicted the collapse of Marx-styled communism. Also indicated are some of the obvious methods that the Christian community can employ in order to force those individuals or organizations that continue to perpetuate the great scientific deception to correct their erroneous methods and to stop lying to the world. In this chapter, what is meant by the phrase "logical deduction," in its simplest form, is discussed. The linguistic model (the D-world model) is separated from the physical model (the GGU-model) and there's given a very significance general description (LU) for the behavior of a higher intelligence as it's predicted by the D-world mathematical model. This prediction is completely consistent with the "mind of God" as described within the Bible. Surprisingly, statement (LU) also satisfies Paul's statements in 1 Corinthians 1:27. I also give a few specific descriptions of some of the various types of behavior that an exceptionally powerful force-like process can produce. This behavior varies, at its most spectacular, from the creation of a universe to the subtle unobserved alteration in the physical behavior of the most minuscule of Natural objects. A more detailed analysis of this powerful force-like process is presented, and it's established that this process may have produced our universe, our Earth, and even you and me. The processes discussed in the chapter lead to a General Grand Unification of all of physical science. In the last section, all of the properties that lead to the startling conclusions in chapter 8 are discussed. And I'm confident that you're capable of understanding everything I've written in these chapters.
Finally, you're ready, you've acquired the language and concepts necessary to delve into chapter 8. In this chapter, you meet some the truly wondrous properties of the D-world and the GGU-models. First, it's shown, by reference to specific Bible verses, that the D-world model proves that all the descriptions that compare the "mind of God" with the mental abilities of any other entity are scientific rational descriptions. This includes those descriptions that depict how God communicates with humankind. If these results are coupled with the creation processes established by the GGU-model and sections 2.5, 3.3, and 4.3 of reference [19], then one has a scientific model for all of the Scripturally described Divine attributes as they are compared to attributes of any other entity. This establishes that all of the past and any future statements made by anyone that the Scripturally described attributes of God are irrational are false statements.
By means of diagrams and discussions, it's shown explicitly why the scientific method can't determine how the universe was created, how life began on Earth and all other similar questions. However, various GGU-model predicted secular and Biblical creation scenarios are presented in pictorial and descriptive form. This allows you significant choices. In this chapter, I discuss, but I let you determine, whether or not an individual or organization that claims to be Christian can select an atheistic driven scientific theory with no truth value first and then re-interpret the Scriptures to fit such a theory.
The results of this scientific research will free you from the devastating mind controlling influences often promoted purposely by the scientific community and communication media. Obviously, it's the conclusions in this last chapter that many scientists don't want you to read. Although it isn't possible to know by scientific means which of the presented scenarios is correct, there is a method, and I believe the only one, that is available to Christians and that should be used to reveal the truth in all matters not just scientific. This chapter ends with a review of this method or, what is more properly termed, this gift from God. It's the only known method a Christian can use to select the correct origins scenario; this method I call Holy Ghost verification.
In order to aid your comprehension as much as possible, the main text is followed by an extensive glossary and a set of important references. Now if you're a member of that small group of individuals who have a fixed immutable mind-set that dictates that what acclaimed scientists say is true and beyond doubt, even though it contradicts your religious beliefs, then you'll have a difficult time comprehending certain portions of this book. But if you're open minded and appropriately critical, then I'm convinced you'll gain much needed knowledge from my exposition.
Your author has been warned sternly, under extreme penalty, not to present these research findings to you. I've not been deterred by these threats for these discoveries have had a profound affect upon me personally. I feel they'll also significantly influence you and all of humanity. Moreover, as a conscientious scientist, I've no choice but to present the facts to you.
[NOTE: Any mathematical modeling that I might discuss slightly in this "book" is based only upon the GGU-model and one intelligent agent modeled by one operator. My notions of Intelligent Design have been greatly extended. Numerous new results and all of my major work in General Intelligent Design is now published in the general audience book "Science Declares Our Universe IS Intelligently Designed" (Xulon Press). This Xulon Press book is absolutely necessary if you wish to truly comprehend the material I have presented here. 04/04/04]
