Philosophy, Religion and Scientific Thinking
by Tatiana Velitchkov © 2009

 

In recent centuries, markedly from the seventeenth century, there has been notable harmony between religion and science, both merging on near-same philosophical thought lines. In earlier centuries, philosophy, religion and scientific thinking held very different opinions and stands on nearly all concepts. What one proclaimed to be the truth, the others usually opposed and quite strongly at that. However, a number of historians, religious scholars and scientists were later published as saying that the three were interlinked in many aspects.

For instance, one religious scholar, who is a professor, is quoted as saying that a belief in divine creation was at the core of the emergence of science in the 17th century. More philosophy experts have gone ahead to show that there were links between religion and the most successful scientific breakthroughs such as Isaac Newton’s and Robert Boyle’s discoveries. For a long time, scientific thinking dismissed all subjective phenomena that are key to religious dogma, such as the freedom of will, morality, conscious value and purpose. It tended to favor objective behavior and functionality of the brain instead. However, philosophical research shows that these subjective values ignored by scientists, are indeed interactive components of brain processing. They are said to play a big role in conscious behavior as well as scientific evolution.

Scientists have to come up with theories in order to prove any hypothesis. These theories are usually based on evidence which has to be circumstantial. This is where religion comes in. Most of the evidence which scientists rely on, is actually supported by religion, hence the co-relation between science and religion. The more one tries to prove something scientifically, the more religious evidence is discovered. This can be explained by the fact that science will in most case try to prove things that are unusual or not the norm, so to say. Yet, finding factual proof of all this is quite difficult. Again, most of us tend to be biased towards what we see happening and what we are likely to experience.

Philosophy holds it that people who are highly religious tend to be happier in life and more satisfied, as opposed to people who are atheists or are primarily atheists. They are less likely to be suicidal, have depression, hypertension or other clinical conditions. But there are reports that being too religious can also result in obsessive-compulsory disorders. Die-hard scientists too are not spared either and will often suffer their own forms of mental flops. That said, finding a bridge between science and religion is what brings a sense of balance to the mind.

If we are going to believe some elements of the bible, then we should really believe all aspects of it, as it is the same person that is responsible for the final draft of it, and I do not mean the heads of the christian churches who only put into print the gospels they wanted us to read while omitting more enlightening ones, that put a different slant on the actual facts God wanted use to read.

God had the final say on what was written about the time he was here, helping to create the earth and the people to populate it, and it was only when his presence here started to fade in the memories of the people that the records were altered by church elders, trying to manipulate the people, plus the fact that it was translated into so many languages that other important features in it got distorted,which all led up to the confusing mess the religions are in now.

All in all there is still the basics there to work on, and with various versions of the same stories being the same, fundamentally, there must be truth in them, as the people of that era had no other reason to write such things other than to record for future generation the strange  events that took place in their time.

With the knowledge of space travel we have now, we would still feel the need to record any events of  life from an other planet landing on earth, as indeed we do, but have still to come up with definite proof to convince the majority of the population on earth.

The fact is, until space ships arrive in the skies above us, where they can be viewed by everyone, that is the only way to convince us that life from beyond the stars really exits.

Try as we might, we will not be the ones to go out there to find them, it is they that will return here to prove once and for all that life exsited out there long before it appeared on earth.

It is written in Genesis, that God created Adam, but before Adam was created there was the people who came with God from his planet, making them possibilities of fathering children on earth because it also states in genesis chapter six verse four,  that “there were giants on the earth in those days and the sons of God came unto the daughters of men, and they bare children.”

As God only made us in his image it does not mean he made us in the same stature as him, and the people he brought with him, which could mean that the giants were from heaven, Gods planet.

The wickedness that brought about the building of the Ark was the interbreeding of people from Gods planet with the people who originated on earth. Now if all of these wicked people were drowned once the great flood came, except Noah and his family, are we ancestors of Adam, through to Noah by way of the interbreeding, or was all the offspring killed in the flood, and we are all desendants of Noah, who’s children might not have been bred from the mixing of genes from an other planet, and were pure earth people.

There is no clear explanation of who or where the giants came from, but where else could they have come from but another planet, brought here in Gods ships?

There are bound to be an abundance of inhabited planets out in the vastness of space, and at least one has progressed enough in technology to allow them intergalactic travel, otherwise where did God and the machines Ezekiel tells about come from? (I will discuss Ezekiel and the machines in a later post)  God, if you believe in him at all, did not appear out of thin air, and just because you think he is sacred, does not mean that he did not evolve out of the same elements as we did, albeit somewhere far away and many many billions of years before we did.

If it is possible for God and the people from his planet to reach earth and be involved in the forming of it, then it is just as likely that he assisted other planets along the same lines as earth.

One of the mysteries of our planet, that we are striving to uncover, is where the human race actually originated, and the nearest we have come is to surmise that we all originated from one source in Africa, and spread rapidly around the planet even though it was mostly covered in ice at the time of this big migration, and the speed it was done in was, if not impossible, as near to  impossible as you will get.

First they had the distance to cover on foot, surviving the harshest of conditions, without the medical care and knowledge we have now, with fatalities occurring almost as fast as births and people dieing younger. So how could they populate the whole of the earth so quickly, including the most isolated locations, that feature unreachable islands and other places on the mainland that could not be reached or even survived on at the time.

Scientist think  that through DNA samples they can now prove we were all originated from the bones found in Africa of the first known humans, but where did their DNA come from?

If we are to believe what Moses wrote in Genesis, then the DNA found on earth can either be from Noah’s family. who might be pure earth people, or from Adam, who’s offspring interbred with giants, from who knows where.

The giants could have come from anywhere, if God had visited other planets, then he could have brought people here from various other sources in the universe, hence the difference in our appearance, cultures and languages and the reason our DNA has similarities is that it goes further back than the bones found in Africa, but we have not yet sourced the evidence yet.

As I said before, we convince ourselves that we have found the answer to something that has puzzled us, until new evidence comes along and we have to reconsider our theories.

Races have appeared on earth from nowhere, with a knowledge far superior to the races that was spread over most of the land, and disappeared, just as quick as they appeared.

The Egyptians at the time of the Pharaohs, had such an exceptional knowledge of the stars, that, if it had endured, would have extended and expanded through to our time, and would have avoided the need for us to discover the  mysteries of  the stars we still strive to find.

Other races in South America had the same knowledge of the skies as the Egyptians, and had  buildings similar to the pyramids although no connection can be found between them.

They disappeared as did their knowledge of the stars, leaving us to start from the beginning again.

Where did they go? Why did the knowledge they had of the stars disappear with them, and where did they get the knowledge from in the first place? Were they brought here from other parts of the universe by God and learned their knowledge from him on their way to earth?

As said before in this blog, we could be an experiment by God, to see how we fair, when mixed with other races, as a test for our entry into heaven. Up till now we have failed, because as you have all experienced, we cannot live in harmony with anyone on this earth. We row with neighbours, fight with other races and religions, so how do we expect the race that nurtured us to come back under these circumstances?

Some of the advanced races in South America I spoke about were wiped out by the Spanish, through greed for gold and land, and even though that was hundreds of years ago, things have not changed, with wars raging all over the world, mostly through religion, the one thing that teaches peace and harmony.

Once we decode the holy books properly, and start living the way we are meant to, then and only then, will we be allowed to uncover the real mysteries of space, and find our true origins, be it on earth or some other planet.

The time will come when we will need God and his people to come back here when earth’s life is at an end, because he has the means to rescue us and the place to take us to, but as is stated in the bible, if we don’t meet the standard expected of us, to blend in on heaven then we will not be rescued, and the “Hell” we might burn in could be earth itself as it is consumed by our sun.

If you read the holy books, and look at them from a twenty first century point of view, then you might see the real possibilities of my theories, but if you are blinded by the beliefs of the churches from the dark ages then you will only ridicule them and never be able to decode the bible, where the answers to all our questions lie.

God must have evolved somewhere, and on doing so we must have evolved from the same substances as him, so once we get his DNA, then we will be able to trace our roots, and not go by the oldest DNA found on earth.

We are so sure that all the answers are to be found on earth, but if people from other planets have been here, then some of the answers WILL be found out in space, where we still strive  to go, which might be made easier if we belived, and understood what the holy books are telling us.

Philosophy in Mathematics   
                                                                                                                                                                 
by Tatiana Velitchkov © 2009

 

Philosophy in Mathematics is an area of study which involves a lot of investigations. In its concept, philosophy of Mathematics is associated with the teaching practice of Mathematics. Many people remain into the question as to why we have to teach and learn Mathematics. Though the learning process cannot be separated from the teaching process in that, a lecturer has to undergo the learning process to be able to deliver in form of teaching the Mathematics to other learners.

There are different needs as to why one would be interested in learning as well as teaching Mathematics. These aims and goals in the society come with different persons. Here the aims, goals, purpose and the rest should be considered to serve the society and their social groups as well. This should also be extended to the educational needs as well as to the society at large.

Much as the society and the social groups aim at teaching and learning Mathematics, each of them has a role to play. In this activity each party should be able to understand the kind of relationship that should be adopted to see them into success. This will demand from them, the underlying aims as well as the rationale, the role played by the Mathematics in the society, the learner and the teacher.

The philosophy of Mathematics has three possible applications which are the overall philosophy, philosophy of education and philosophy of mathematics. This does not mean that they are substantive components of application and knowledge that integrate these tasks. However, Mathematics education and philosophy are levels of knowledge that bring together the processes of practice, knowledge of an individual and the enquiry process and even the knowledge that has been put into publication.

Philosophy brings about a systematic approach in analysis and proving ones fundamental challenges. It puts the mind into exercise and a thought of intelligence hence leading to reasoning, thinking, enquiry and this takes you to the level of the output which is justification, conclusion and beliefs. These concepts, outputs and theories can be transferred to mathematics and education.

The issue of philosophy of Mathematics is left with problems to address which will provide the answers to questions ranging from; the definition of mathematics, the relationship between the society and mathematics, understanding what it is in learning mathematics, understanding what it is in teaching mathematics, understanding the position of mathematics in the field of study and approaches in mathematics education.

See the following video about Philosophy of Mathematics

I have mentioned that some calculations are made by our scientist from theories, and as we all would like to go back to the past, they seem to think that by studying and reaching the source of the images the Hubble telescope sends us, they will be able to do that.

They think the light reflections that Hubble captures, of dieing stars and new constellations being formed have taken place billions of years ago and because they take their calculations from the theory that these images have travelled at the speed of light to reach Hubble, and the distance covered by the light source would take so many light years to reach it, then the images must be billions of years old, which in turn will give them an insight to the origins of the universe.

We know how man made electric light functions, but we have to ask if terrestrial light functions in the same way.

Electric light only travels so far and the farther out it goes the broader it becomes, weakening its strength.

An example of this is street lights that are positioned at certain distances apart so that each lamps beam connects with the other to light up the street. If the light did not weaken then we would only need one lamp to illuminate the whole street, or even further if it was unobstructed, like the images captured in space by Hubble.

Another example of light weakening and broadening is when a lighthouse‘s beam is observed by a sailor over the open sea. It is clear to see the beam as it swings round, just how much it widens the further away it gets from its source, also how much weaker the beam becomes as it widens, but it is also noticeable that the light only travels so far, hence the different strengths of lights for the given situations.

Laser light on the other hand is an intense narrow beam as it is amplified, stimulated by the emission of photons from excited atoms or molecules, which makes it behave in a different way to basic electric light, allowing it to travel great distances, but AS electric light, it is still man made.

Terrestrial light, like our sun is natural, and being a natural light source it behaves in the same way as man made electric light, weakening as it projects out into space, and as the beam widens it also limits the distance the rays travel.

If you think of all the stars and light sources out there in space, and take into consideration the power produced by them, heading towards earth, then the light and heat radiated by them, if not weakened, would be so intense, creating dazzling daylight twenty four hours a day, that we could not survive anywhere in the universe, let alone this planet.

That is why we cannot go back to the past by studying the images sent by Hubble,because these occurrences that are being captured out there are happening NOW, not something that happened billions of years ago.

It is us that is reaching out to the light source through Hubble NOT the light source reaching us, like the sailor approaching the lighthouse, the beam becomes stronger and clearer as he nears it, but it is the same source that was seen faintly on the horizon, and if an object came between them, the light hitting the object would be obscured immediately leaving a shadow resembling that particular object, reappearing immediately the object was removed, or if the object was big enough or close enough to the light source it would obscure the light altogether. That is one example of my theory, and although the distances between a lighthouse beam and terrestrial rays are vastly different  in comparison, the end result is the same.

If we had the means to travel to that light source where a star is dieing or a constellation is being formed then we would be able to see the exact same thing is happening at the source, as is happening in Hubble’s images. How can you possibly reach the outer beam, then travel through it to a void left after the star died, or to the reaction in space that created the new constellation you were now travelling through? The source of the light  still has to be there to power the beam or ray’s projection, on the same principle as a movie camera projecting an image onto a screen. When the camera is switched off the picture disappears, and when the star dies, projected images of its life dies with it, and does not leave a record of its past on some screen in space.

Sound on the other hand is different. If you switch the source of the sound off, the noise will carry on, echoing through the air waves until it too becomes so weak that it fades out. Perhaps that is why our scientist think that light carries on once the source has been switch off, but given the experiments they do, they should have realised by now that, that is not the case, and forget trying to reach the past by these unlikely means.

They will discover something new in space every day if they look hard enough and in the right place , and perhaps they might discover the origins of the universe, but it will not be at the end of a light beam.

The past is in the past and the only way we can find out about it is by excavating the remains of it, be it on earth or out there in space, the latter being well out of our reach. Even with the excavations on earth we still have to guess and surmise the origins of the human race, with our ideas having to be altered regularly as disturbances to the earth’s crust uncovers new sources and artifacts for man to investigate.

How can we possibly think that we can discover the origins of the universe from earth when we are still struggling to decipher the discoveries on our own planet?

My conclusion is, that, even out in the deepest of space the past is the past, and has gone, with no way of going back to it, not even if we can find a way to reach the light sources the scientist think will take us there, so they will have to have a rethink, just like the archaeologists who excavate and theorise on our past until new discoveries and realizations are made.

The universe travels onward and outward, and the only going back will be when it stops, and the gravitational pull of the immense planet at the core of it all drags everything back, but time will still be carrying forward with new events taking place, and the old ones, though not  forgotten………………………… in the past where they will stay, regardless of mans ambition to return there.

Religion and the Social Change

by Tatiana Velitchkov © 2009

 

 

Religion has in different parts of the world played a key role in defining interpersonal relationships. It has evolved much like society; this is mostly as a result of fusion of different communities which have to find a common ground that is acceptable to either of the peoples involved. Since religion does not have a globally accepted meaning, different social groupings can be traced to the underlying religions that the specific communities have embraced. Though the extent to which religion has contributed to the current lifestyle among people of different communities can still be argued, religion is a factor even in the organization of societies and governance.

 

Religion has been viewed as a guiding principle in determining the social action for an individual member of society in terms of defining one’s relationship with the community that they are living in as well as determining the social structure of the community, by defining the rules that the people live within. In is therefore clear that as a tool of social change, religion would predefine an individuals action and on a wider scale, a community’s action. Modernization has eroded the teachings of ancient religion by different communities trying to coexist, and the resultant is a metamorphosis religion that borrows from the originals. 

 

Religion is viewed in different perspectives on the matter of social change, one that it has limited change in society, and two that it has been a tool in specifying what is acceptable as a lifestyle and therefore propagating change in the social structure of a community. In either case, religion has an impact on the course that people who subscribe to a particular religion generally follow. Since both schools of thought have their strengths, it can be concluded that religion acts to regulate the social actions of a community, either by regulation or propagation of specific actions. Social development over time can be attributed to several factors but religion seems to be outstanding in knitting the social fabric of communities.

 

Social transformations have been widely linked to religious patterns and this is because religion is an integral component of cultures. Communities identify with specific religions and the morals in the applicable religions determine the general principles that shape the lifestyles of its people. However, critics have suggested that religion has been used as a tool to oppress others. These thoughts notwithstanding, the development of the society and changes therein can be attributed to religion.

 

 

Nothingness
by Tatiana Velitchkov © 2009

Nothingness could be best described as absence or a state of nonexistence. In scientific terms it can be defined as – before the big bang there was nothing. Grammatically nothingness means something, why? Well, because it is a noun. Since we know nouns refer to something then we can say that nothingness is a thing by itself. Nothing has an attribute. In a sentence we can say there is nothing in that room which can be rephrased as that room is empty, or everything that was in that room is gone.

In philosophy, the negative which is on the contrary of itself offers itself to the positive. The positive to the degree assures itself. The significance of this position from nothingness follows an outcome of the preposition into which a philosopher agrees with. Some philosophers avoid the new world to a point of nothingness, while others say that nothingness can also be described as foolish.

For us to speak about nothing then something must be in existence. In a state of nothingness there can be no motion that nothingness is the opposition of something. When the car passes it goes through nothing making the emptiness to go backwards hence the car has moved the emptiness.

Different cultures understand nothingness differently. Buddhists say that it is only in the mind. If your dreams do not come true it does not mean you are nothing. Another example is when one attempts to shoot a bird, he relaxes for a moment saying that he has a better focus. This makes us more intensity that without doing this our conscious thinking would not help us achieve our goals. For us to grasp nothing or nothingness then there must be something.

When we count numbers, we always assume that nothing has any particular meaning. However when we continue counting we find that zero (which we assume is nothing) changes after a period of time. According to science when we say there is nothing that does not make sense. To give a good example, when we say that a place is a vacuum that means that matter is not present.

However, we know for sure that constructing something without the presence of matter is impossible because of gravity. Therefore, if a region of that nature existed, then that means nothing would be something of distinguished importance in quantum-mechanical vacuum. Whenever we write nothing on a computer, the computer’s processor will always write something to recognize it as a function.

Most of the frontiers on earth have been reached but even though we know where the extremes are, there are  places and secrets on our planet that still have to be discovered and unfolded to us.

We fool ourselves into believing that with a few calculations we can fathom out where the extremes of space are, but if we are going to be honest with ourselves, that task from this insignificant corner of the universe is impossible at this moment in time as we still surmise most facts about space and everything outwith hubbles vision, and until we can travel further into space or someone from distant space shows theirself  here and enlightens us about what is out there, we will have to keep on guessing.

We are still learning about earth, and we are still evolving as a whole in this part of the universe and given our size in comparison to some of the  planets we HAVE discovered, to consider US as a power in the vastness of space is typical of the arrogance you find among earth people.

Our life span or body clock is governed not only by the conditions on earth that the environmentalists  drum into us, (and quite rightly) but also by the size of the planet and its orbit around the sun.

All these things, and more, have to be taken into consideration when we look out into space and think about traveling towards the far reaches of the universe, to prove one way or another, if we are alone or not, in the vastness that we call outer space.

When you take into account the small amount of years we have in us between the ages when we are mature enough and fit enough for our bodies to survive even a short journey through space, to when we are too old for such journeys, just think of the consequences if we were to man some of the probes we have already sent out. There is no way we, in our time span could survive such a experience.

Although man has been to the moon (some even question that) and walks in space around the space station, or hubble, that is as much as he can achieve now, and given our capabilities and resources, that is about as far as he will go.

If our planet was much larger than it is or more to the point if we came from a planet many, many more times bigger than earth, our bodies would be compatible to that planet with its rotations and orbit around its sun, or whatever circumstances are involved within its solar system,  which could create the means to allow us to travel through space to the destination of our choice, just like the planet where God came from.

As I said in my last post, time, as we know it, did not exist when the world was being created, as time was not needed in this corner of the universe, and the time that we use now is defined by the solar system we are in, and has been calculated by mankind for mankinds own benefit.  The same thing would have happened on the planet Heaven where God originated, but their time and lifespan or body clock will be defined by their planet which given its size will have inclined their bodies the resilience to go as far into space as they wish, plus the fact that they have evolved fully allowing them to discover the secret of everlasting life and develop a technology that enables them to build the machines capable of reaching the extremities of the universe, and THEIR time will be determined by their planets actions, which will be measured in a much bigger time-span than ours.

My theories do not come from calculations guessed at from our part of the universe, but from a book where we can find recorded, (albeit vaguely) events that mention flying machines and medical phenomenons carried out on earth thousands of (earth) years ago by people who did not originate from here and with a knowledge that must have originated on another planet far in advance of earth.

The bible is of course that book, but I am not deciphering it from a religious point of view, but from a twenty first century point of view that has sorely been neglected and stifled by people who are afraid to explore any further the real meaning in it, because of the fear and brainwashing that has been installed in them down through the years of a terrible fate that might befall them if they dare think of the bible as anything else but sacred.

We used to think that the earth was the center of the universe, then as our knowledge progressed we discovered that it was earth that was revolving around the sun, then came to the conclusion that the sun was the center of the universe until we progressed even further and realised that there was so much more out there to discover, and the center was elsewhere.

There has to be a center to the universe, and that has to be where the “BIG BANG” took place which brings me to the conclusions that I have arrived at. Even the earliest of  astronomers realised that there had to be a center to the universe although it took them a while to realise that it was not in our solar system, but we don’t seem to have come much further, because we still do not know where the center is.

As the universe is still expanding by blasting and spreading out, there must have been a force to project it, therefore we are spreading from the center which would have been where  the “BIG BANG” took place.  Now that makes sense to me as any projectile I have ever seen was blasted by a force of some sort or other, and what  force other than the “BIG BANG” could project enough force as to propel all the contents of the universe in an outward manner.

So when the first planets evolved at the center, after the main blast spread out, and the first people evolved on that planet, THAT is when time first began as people are the only things in the universe that needed to measure time.

Time on earth was not need until mankind progressed enough to take note of his surroundings and become aware of the results of time passing, like ageing and understanding night and day etc.

We have been promised everlasting life, according to the messages in the bible, so I would imagine that the superior medical knowledge of the people brought here by God from his planet will know how to adjust our earthly bodies to the conditions on there and will give us the same treatment that provides them with eternal life.

That is the only way the mystery of where the center of the universe is, will be unfolded to us, NOT by our own inventions but by people who have been here before and promised that they would be back to take us to their planet, in their ships, where we will have eternal life.

No matter how much we strive for deeper exploration into space, we simply don’t have the resources on earth to reach these pinnacles, so we will have to rely on God keeping his promise.  Then our time will have arrived to have the secrets of the universe unfolded to us.

It was respect and recognition that God was looking for, rather being made a source of terror by the churches, due to their interpretation of the record he left, so we should not be afraid to interpret the bible from a twentieth century point of view, and forget the terror tactics that has restricted our imaginations, keeping us from approaching astral problems from a new angle.

When you look at it from that point of view it makes more sense, because suddenly here we have a logical answer to the problems that have puzzled mankind throughout the ages, and if you begin to make your calculations from these theories you may find it easier to solve the equation in front of you.

Resentment and Rationality
by Tatiana Velitchkov © 2009

Resentment can be described as a withdrawn feeling and desire, which creates values. Resentment is very complex to deal with both internally and in its association to various dimensions of human survival. Even though resentment affects the heart of a person, it so much affects our relationship with other individuals. Resentment is an inert personal secret which most fear to open up to others. We just keep it to our selves. On the other hand, the rationality of resentment is considered essential to a phenomenon and its constituent parts or elements.

Resentment always starts and is involved with one or several negative feelings. Resentment calls for revenge. Resentment as an underlying moving condition can be very dangerous as it shows ones conscious intentions. Resentment can manifest itself in several ways as well as having several important constituents. The first constituent is the desire to have what others have that you do not posses. This may include desire to be physically stronger, healthy, stronger, beautiful, liberal, intelligent, wise and holy. The mere uneasiness of qualities owned by others and exhibited by certain things is not distinctive of the resentful man. The common man and the modern man both exhibit this behavior.

Many a time people will feel incapable of achieving what they wish and give in so easily. Such resignation does not always lead to unhappiness, resenting or loosing hope. In order for resentment to be felt, it must be accompanied with a negative feeling. The inability to fulfill ones desire will occasionally be in line with some negative feeling. These negative feelings include anger, rage, malice, bitterness, spite, hatred, jealousy, envy, desire to revenge, resignation, holding grudges and resentment. Resentment will not always involve all the above negativities but it will contain some of them. Envy is the desire to own what is owned by others. One will always feel incapable of having those values and a sense of unfairness for not having these values. In order for a person to feel that he/she deserves to have or own values owned by another person he/she must have a sense of self-worthiness. Thus he will have an intrinsic worth as a rational being as well as a sense of her self worth.

Rationality justifies the worth of an individual and in such doing, a sense of self worth leads to rational strain for uniformity. If you would feel yourself as being worthy then you would also deserve to own the values owned by others as they are also worthy people just like you. Rationality is innate in resentment. In order to overcome rationality we must hold back negative feelings, which make us, desire to have the values possessed by others. Rationality is somehow the cause of resentment and the cause of all evil.

I still cannot stare out into space without thinking how it all began, how vast it is and if there is more intelligent life on some planet undiscovered yet, and I am sure that many or all of you have done the same thing.
That is how I came to the theoretical conclusions I published in unfeatheredangels and if you have read it you will know that I am convinced the God you read about in the bible is real, and from another highly developed planet at the very centre of it all.

The bible talks of the creation of a NEW heaven and earth, and the given time factors to create them could not be earth time as earth time could not have existed until our part of the universe was completed, so the time involved would have been calculated by time, from God’s planet, making the six days of the creation  more logical, and eaiser to comprehend. (He rested on the seventh day)
To carry out all the deeds needed for the creation would have to take longer than earth days even although the people involved were far more advanced than we, will ever imagine. (I will delve further into the time factor in a later post.)
The earliest known people on earth worshiped idols, and as the meaning of idol is “representation of a God” it makes me wonder if they knew in some way that God existed even as far back as that, which is not impossible as God and the people he brought with him from his planet were on earth during the biblical years and would have been from the beginning of creation, as stated.

A God or an icon of sorts has been held in high esteem since as far back as our archaeologists can trace and each stage of evolution has always had something sacred to worship , be it a mountain or a figurehead of some sort, which proves that they knew something sinister was going on, instilling enough fear in them to make them find solace in their chosen icon.
Some people on earth now, think that God’s people are among us still, and they may be right, but not in the way they think or have been brainwashed into thinking .  I have never denied that there is a God, it is only the concept of God that I debate and being brought up in the brethren faith, I know what it is to be brainwashed into believing someone elses ideas or translations of what is written in the bible.
So much time has passed and so much progress has been made since the bible was first written, so when you take these factors into account plus the fact that it has been translated into so many different languages you can understand why there are so many different opinions on its content and meaning. Also it was various peoples accounts of events that happened during their time, but other peoples accounts of the same facts were  omitted by the governing bodies of the churches who took to overseeing the content of the final version of the bible as we know it, so it would give more credibility to what they wanted us to know and believe.

All the efforts of our scientists, historians and archaeologists go into proving we all originated on earth, and go out of their way to convince us of that, therfore most people just take it for granted  as they think, learned people like that know better, and would rather not question their authority.

It is quite easy to brainwash certain people, who, in turn can brainwash others, which leads to new cultures and religions springing up, and that is one of the reasons why we have so many variations to choose from in life.

If as much effort was put into proving we could have originated from elsewhere, then I am sure they could come up with enough facts and figures to convince a vast majority of the people that it was true, even though in reality the results might not add up…or not.
In my theories I am trying to convince you that God is from another planet and that some of the races on earth could have come from other planets in the universe with some of our population originating on earth.

In Genesis it tells of people on earth before Adam who would have been the original earthmen, but other people who came with God, mingled with them, so what is to say that some of them did not come from other planets visited by God on his way to our part of the universe. There are some people today, who think that the population on earth is an experiment by God and with the variations between the races in culture and features, who can argue with them?
We on earth are so violent to even our nearest neighbours never mind other countries, that it IS possible we could be decended from convicts or undesirables from other planets throughout the universe and placed here on this “created earth,” just  like the convicts sent to Botany Bay from Britain all these years ago. It is possible that God created earth for just that reason and to rid parts of the universe of  the evil that is now rife on earth. OUR ancestors could be from other planets and if we had the chance to study the archeology on them the way we can on earth then we could be looking at an entirerly different prospect to our origins.

If you persevere with a problem you can come up with an answer, in the same way that, if you persevere with your beliefs and continually brainwash folk you will eventually convince some of them that what you are saying  is true.

As it is we can only go by what we are allowed to surmise from the findings on earth but as we go further into space or when God returns, the true facts will be unfolded to us and there will be no more need for supposition or brainwashing from the illustrious  people on earth who try to drive the theories THEY have been brainwashed into believing, into our heads.
I hope this has given you food for thought, as I am not trying to brainwash you, only to get you to look at things from a different prospective and decide for yourself what YOU think is true or even lead you to the answers we are all striving for.

The integration of philosophy and religion is basically the linking of both to create a strong bond between them in order to offer programs that focus on analysis in philosophy, inquiry in logic and organized systems in academic study.
