Why God keeps people in uncertainty of His existence (JP)
janp...@gmail.com
our planet Earth is packed with atheists, while only rare people
believe in God. Also such an opinion prevails amongst a majority of
people, who are convinced that in present times individuals who
believe in God are a real rarity. However, the reality is an exact
reversal of what is claimed by religious institutions. In fact, if
someone seeks carefully around, then only with a great difficulty can
find a true atheist. Practically, almost 100% of people, at the bottom
of their heart believe in the existence of some superior being with
attributes of God. The only thing which differs from person to person
is the depth of their belief, and the name and definition of God in
which they believe. This fact of the common belief in God is confirmed
by all research done in this matter. One amongst such research was
reported in the article "More than nine out of 10 believe in God",
from page B2 of New Zealand newspaper from Christchurch named "The
Press" (they do have a web page " www.press.co.nz "), in the issue of
that newspaper dated on Wednesday, June 25, 2008. This article
informed about results of such research carried out in the USA. But it
is well known that presently the USA belongs to one amongst the most
atheistic countries of our planet, in the majority of schools of which
teaching religion is forbidden. Thus, in other countries probably even
a larger proportion of people believe in God. Similar results are
yield from research on human psychology. This research always stresses
that people have from the birth a natural inclination to believe in
the God's existence. Even many murderers and sadists admit that they
committed their crimes because "God ordered them to do so". So in
reality the claims of religious institutions and beliefs of the
majority of us, that the Earth is full of atheists, turns out to be a
myth and an untruth. In fact the Earth is packed with people who
believe in God's existence. Only that these believers are
intentionally kept in the uncertainty about the God's existence.
Furthermore, a significant proportion of present people is highly
sceptical in relation to naive and full of errors explanations of God
disseminated by present religions paralysed by their own age and
sclerosis. Therefore the belief of these people in the religious
explanations of God in many cases is too shallow to be able to force
them to pedantically do whatever their religion asks them to do.
Unfortunately, if we look on the humanity from the prospective of God,
then it turns out that the situation when all people deeply believe in
God is NOT at all in the interest of this God. This is because God
created humans so that people continually increased their knowledge,
searched for truth, created, developed, overcame obstacle, did not
give up, etc. On the other hand, people who deeply believe in God
typically cease to seek knowledge and truth. Also they cease their
stubborn fight with obstructions of fate and in everything they begin
to give up. From thinking seekers of truth and from creative
inventors, such people deeply believing in God usually transform
themselves into thoughtless pleasers and worshippers of God, who spend
time on infinitive repetition of the same prayers. For example, as
this is described in item #A2 of the web page "will.htm" (about the
influence of "free will" of people on fate of the entire human
civilisation), people who deeply believe in God cease to seek and to
increase their knowledge, as they have a ready answer to everything
that "God created it". They do NOT try to establish how God created
everything, how this creation works, why God did this instead of doing
something else, nor what God really is - because they are afraid to
"offend God" or to commit a "blasphemy". They cease to do scientific
research because "if God wants that we know this, He would reveal this
to us". They do NOT improve their characters because "how God created
me He must want me to be". They do NOT fight with illnesses,
accidents, nor inconveniences, because "God appears to want me to
suffer". They cease to create new inventions because they wait until
"God gives these to them". They cease to fight against bad fortunes
because "God appears to wish that it is so". Etc., etc. In the result,
a deep belief in God has a conservationist and destructive
consequences. It freezes the progress of creativity, knowledge,
technology, and faith. Thus, a society which is full of people that
deeply believe in God, freezes in its intellectual and technical
development, and thus also in its spiritual and religious development.
If since the beginning of time the world was full of people who deeply
believe in God, then we would live in caves until today, we would NOT
know fire, and instead of the only and intelligent God we would
worship e.g. thoughtless lightning flashes and thunders. As we can
realise, such a freezing of progress of knowledge and development of
people is NOT in interests of God. God does NOT want that people
behave in such a manner. After all, according to explanations from
item #B3 of the web page "will.htm" (about the influence of "free
will" of people on fate of the entire human civilisation), and also
item #C1 of the web page "god.htm" (about secular and scientific
understanding of God), God created man in order people mastered the
skill of stubborn searching for knowledge and truth, thus becoming an
active instrument in the evolution of the universe and helping God in
increasing His own knowledge. From the God's point of view it is
immensely vital that people seek knowledge and truth, are creative,
continually improve themselves and their knowledge, display
determination and stubbornness in implementing their intentions, etc.,
etc. So God has no choice but to find a way how to force people to
seek knowledge and truth, and how to motivate us to put into these
searches everything that we are capable of.
Fortunately, NOT without effects God is infinitively more intelligent
than people. Therefore He found a perfect solution to the problem of
freezing of progress, knowledge, and technology by people who deeply
believe in God. Namely, "God continually keeps all people in the lack
of certainty 'whether God exists at all' ". In turn, to keep us
uncertain about His existence, it is this God Himself who, amongst
others, spreads atheism amongst people, who actively supports
everything that noisily denies His existence, and who quietly blocks
from noticing everything that confirms His existence. In the result of
such moves, and numerous other similar steps described in the next
part of this post, God intentionally "confuses" people in the matter
of His own existence. This confusion decreasing peoples' belief to
such a low level, that "just in case" many of them begin to act as if
God does NOT exist at all. These people begin actively and on their
own risk seek the truth. They stubbornly fight with obstacles of fate.
They create inventions and make discoveries. Etc., etc. In this
manner, through continuous maintaining people in the uncertainty about
the existence of Himself, God actually stimulates the search for
knowledge and truth, scientific research, efforts, striving, progress,
etc. So with people God acts similarly like people do this with a
donkey - namely "in order to force a donkey to go forward, people
intentionally pull it backward". This continuous maintaining people in
uncertainty about the existence of God, allows also God to earn a
whole range of other benefits. For example, it allows Him to subject
individual people and the entire our civilisation to continuous tests
and exams, thus allowing Him to distinguish between valuable people -
which are worth to inspire and to protect, and a human trash - which
can be donated to fate as examples that are to teach others.
Of course, God does NOT destroy all evidence for His own existence.
Several well-hidden items of such evidence God leaves on the Earth for
those more stubborn seekers of truth. The philosophy of totalizm
already managed to discover and identify some amongst these hidden
items of evidence, and now disseminates these on various web pages -
e.g. see the web page "god_proof.htm" (about scientific evidence for
the existence of God). After all, if someone gets really stubborn,
then God always allows him or her to earn the certainty about the
God's existence. Only that He makes them to earn this certainty
through their own effort and after many sacrifices. This is why, in
spite that officially and loudly God allows His "simulations" to block
the access to publications of totalizm, that He openly helps critics
who throw mud on totalizm, and that He visibly promotes everything
that discourages people from reading publications of totalizm, quietly
God always opens the access to these publications and web pages for
stubborn seekers of truth - about whom He decided that they deserve to
get to know totalizm. This is why, if you (the reader) is NOT reading
these words just with the intention that this allows you to throw mud
on totalizm later, the sole fact that you come to read these words and
descriptions, is a proof that you belong to these few seekers of truth
whom God considers sufficiently mature and worthy to give them chances
for thinking-over the matters that are described here.
As it is explained above, in very vital interest of God lies
maintaining people in continuous uncertainty about the existence of
God. So in order to keep people continually in this uncertainty, God
developed and perpetually uses a whole range of various manners, ways,
methods, tricks, etc. For example, God causes that after the birth,
memories of our previous incarnations are blocked. Only very stubborn
seekers of truth can later unblock these memories with the use of
hypnosis. But even then their scepticism still forms barriers against
recognising these memories for what they really are. God also so
designed the human psychology, that everyone amongst us is especially
untrusting and sceptical in all God's matters. Thus, a typical person
would acquire the certainty of the existence of God only if he or she
could see and touch God - of course, to NO living people God grants
such a privilege.
Amongst a huge number of methods, ways, means, tricks, etc., which God
continually uses to keep people in the perpetual uncertainty about His
own existence, one group of these is strictly linked to the topic of
the totaliztic web page "evil.htm". This is a wide use of "evil" by
God, and His employment of "evil creatures". Namely, in order to be
able to illustratively suggest to people, that God does NOT exist, in
practically every area of life God noisily although anonymously (i.e.
not under His own name) promotes the prevalence of "evil".
Simultaneously, God also suppresses the emphasizing, and intentionally
hides, all manifestations of a good and morality. Of course, God does
all these in a way similar to an enthusiastic examiner, who uses
various tricks and traps to check how well his students mastered a
given subject area. Means, these people who allow to be misled by such
noisy promotion and actually give out to temptations, God later
mercilessly, and this time quietly, punish and persecute. In turn
these ones who stand by morality and in the defence of good, God
discretely and quietly rewards later.
In this noisy utilisation of "evil" for hiding His own existence, very
handy for God is the use of "simulation" of the existence and a
secretive activity on the Earth, of "evil creatures" which in most
ancient times were called "gods", later - although still in antiquity,
were called "devils", while presently are called with the ultra-modern
term "UFOnauts". After all, God is a master in "simulation". He
continually creates and destroys thousands of stars and planets, and
millions of human existences. Thus, for the use in such a simulation,
God is able to design appropriately, then temporally create, human-
like creatures (i.e. "UFOnauts") to which He transfers (i.e. "
possesses") His own awareness. Then with hands of these creatures God
can subject people to any manipulations, temptations, tests, and
tricks - which lie in interest of goals and intentions of God.
Finally, when these temporally created creatures fulfil their duties,
God again destroys them. The use of these creatures has also this
advantage, that everything that God does with their hands, appears as
if it has NOTHING to do with God. So it works perfectly towards making
impossible for people to gain a certainty about the existence of God.
The explanations presented above are adopted from items #F2 and #F3 of
the totaliztic web page "evil.htm", update of 3 September 2008, or
later. The latest update of this web page should be available from
several web sites of totalizm One amongst these web sites is " jan-
pajak.com " - which is available under the address http://jan-pajak.com
and which always presents for brief periods of time the most recently
updated web page of totalizm.
It is also worth to know that practically all totaliztic web pages are
availabe at each address (server) of totalizm. Therefore independently
from the web page "evil.htm", each address (server) linked from here
should also offer all other web pages of totalizm - unless some of
these pages were sabotaged, or are so new that I had no time yet to
upload these at a given address (server). (But in a case when for some
reasons a page is unavailable under a given address, still at this
address a MENU should be available which has links to other addresses
(servers) of totalizm, on which a given web page should already be
accessible.) Thus, if someone wishes to view descriptions from any
other totaliztic web page, e.g. from a web page listed in this post,
or listed in other totaliztic posts, then in the above addresses the
name "evil.htm" is just enough to exchange for a name of the web page
that he or she wishes to view, e.g. for the name of web page
"oscillatory_chamber.htm", "eco_cars.htm", "boiler.htm",
"fe_cell.htm", "free_energy.htm", "telekinetics.htm",
"dipolar_gravity.htm", "nirvana.htm", "totalizm.htm", "evil.htm",
"god.htm", "god_proof.htm", "bible.htm", "evolution.htm",
"wszewilki_jutra_uk.htm", "malbork_uk.htm", "memorial.htm",
"newzealand.htm", "partia_totalizmu_uk.htm", "fruit.htm",
"text_1_5.htm", "explain.htm", "day26.htm", "ufo_proof.htm",
"katrina.htm", etc., etc.
If here the above text is difficult to read, or links to web pages
cannot be published here, then it is worth to know that this post
together will all working links is repeated on several blogs of
totalizm, subsequent ones amongst which can be accessed at following
internet addresses:
http://www.getablog.net/totalizm
http://totalizm.wordpress.com
http://totalizm.blox.pl/html
http://totalizm.myblog.net
From these blogs it is also worth to read the post number #149E
entitled "Atheists make progress but neglect morality, believers do
the opposite". That post compares the influence that believers and
atheists exert at our civilisation. So the content of it complements
the content of the above post. It was also disccussed in Google
discussion groups, where it was available, amongst others, at the

This is, on its face, a completely fabricated story
to explain why a non-existent god would hide himself
from people. I would say it is arrogant to claim
to know the mind of god, but their ain't one, so
it's only stupid.
And this "totaliztic salute" is only to be rediculed.
It's like a marketing campaign from a small town
used car dealership.

In the USA 80% believes in a God.

But your main thesis is correct.
If their is a god, that god does not seem to want the people to know

I do not know where you live, but almost the reverse is true in most
of the world. Athiests are not rare, but they compose only a
minority. In Canada, they are outnumbered by just the catholics (no
data for other countries).
As to the answer to your question, there is none so blind as those who
will not see. The cosmologists claim that there may be an infinite
number of universes, so the fact that this one happens to be exactly
constructed to allow for our existence is evidence of nothing. Faced
with the inability to eliminate The Creator, they replace him with an
infinite number of monkeys. As each of the proposed infinite other
universes are outside our own, cosmologists are able to explain away
their lack of evidence with an inability to observe outside our own
universe.

The hole is not made to fit the puddle, moron.
The universe was here long before life of any kind, so our existence fits
the universe, not the other way round.
A different universe would have produced different forms of life that fitted
its parameters.
Unless you claim that a different shaped hole will not fit the puddle.

Surly youself, but only "perhaps" also he, are both unable to present
the scientific evidence for the existence of God. But I can indicate
such evidence. Actually, I managed to write an entire web page filled
up with scientific evidence for the existence of God. (Some examples
from this huge body of evidence I already discussed on the thread
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics/browse_thread/thread/0b85905d2dc9f083#c374dc041f3c5fdf
.) My web page also contains the "formal scientific proof for the
existence of God completed with methods of mathematical logic" - for
the summary of this formal proof see the thread
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.logic/browse_thread/thread/3511120c588e0a16/6c4ba1babcee49b5#6c4ba1babcee49b5
. The page with all this huge body of evidence is named
"god_proof.htm" and you can view it at any web page of "totalizm",
e.g. on the web page http://jan-pajak.com/god_proof.htm (to find other
addresses of that web page you need to run google.com and then type
the key words "Jan Pajak god_proof.htm" - but without quotes). So
please do NOT claim that there is NO evidence for the existence of
God, but just admit, that you are trying to play "donkey" from the
famous English proverb "you can bring a donkey to water, but you
cannot make it drink".

There is non, liar.
Like all these morons you put the cart before the horse.
You presume it and rationalise things that can be twisted to fit this
presumption.
It only fools yourself.
What you have to do is step aside from all your presumptions. Even the
concept.
Then conclude it from real world evidence.

It is not that the universe had to be special merely to allow for
human life, but very few universes with random properties even have
stars, let alone chemical bonding. Given no heat gradients from star
light and no chemistry (or atoms besides hydrogen and helium), what
evidence do you have that there will be any kind of life?
On what evidence does the theory of infinite universes come from?
You apparently make a different leap of faith than I do, but leap you
do.

The Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary gathers considerable data on
the various religions, denominations and non-religious types around
the world on a regular basis.
Their most recent publication gives the following mid-2007 estimates:
World Population: 6.616 billion
Christians: 2.196 billion
Non-Christians: 4.420 billion
And of this last figure, only 154 million are atheists.
Which is about 2.33% of the entire planetary population.
So perhaps the sources causing the concern expressed in your opening
statement are lumping the non-Christians in with the atheists to make
the world look bad.

Anyway, you, in an attempt to lessen the impact, of course, are going to

NO, I am NOT an atheist - I would NOT dare. After all, I am this
scientist who has proven formally the existence of God (see the web
page "god.htm" indicated below). Also I already know what God does to
these people who fulfil the God's definition of "atheists". I would
NOT like to be in their skin. So when talking about atheists, for sure
you can minus one person - myself.
When your long list of "gods" is concerned, it only confirms the main
thesis of this thread - namely that the only God maintains all people
in the lack of certainty about His existence. So you also took wrong
this list - it does NOT certify at all what you intended to certify
with it. By the way, on my web page "god.htm" (e.g. see it at the
address http://jan-pajak.com/god.htm ) there is an exact definition of
what God really is. Most of "gods" from the list you provided do NOT
meet this definition.

needs in order to not self-destruct.
You see, what is logical is not always practical when it comes to
humans.
Religion, atheism and science all serve their purposes. They do not
replace each other, but compliment humanity in their own distinctive
efforts.
We need all sorts in the world.
Atheists keep the theists honest.
Atheists help keep the theists on track when they slip up.
Atheist calm the theists down when theists start talking about killing
in the name of God or Allah.
And theists also help the atheists by giving the atheists something to
do as they go through life working to destroy religion.
The facts are this: when people are devoid of religion...they
generally stink as humans.
Until atheism can replace theist based religion as a VIABLE and REAL
way to inner peace, with a reverence of humanity, it can never take
over the world and extinguish religion.
When you get rid of one thing, it makes room for another.
Sure atheist can succeed at pointing to the flaws of religious
thought, but they have nothing to replace the flaws with. Religion
provides a set of prepackaged morals.
So theists choose the lesser of two evils while on earth, with the
hopes of hitting the jackpot in the hereafter.
When atheists become successes at 'the religion of humanity,' they may
become more successful at replacing theist based religion.
Until that time..."a mans mind may be likened to a garden which may be
intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether
cultivated or neglected, it must and will bring forth. If no useful
seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless 'weed seeds' will
fall therein and will continue to produce their kind." ~ James Allen
And religion does a good job at controlling the weeds.
Humans need moral guidance or a moral conscience since they have a
'free will' of sorts.
Actually it is like this.
We are free to do what we want -- but are not free to want what we
want.
All our actions have consequences, and many of our actions produce
consequences that end up destroying peace. (both ours and other's
peace).
This is what separates us from the animals that run solely on
instinct.
Humans run by instinct as well as moral guidance.
Whether this moral conscience in divinely inspired or from Nature I
don't know - that is why I am an agnostic.
But If I had to guess I would lean towards the atheistic view of
Nature based, since I have not found any evidence of a God such as the
monotheists claim.

I don't believe there is a God, but if there is, the best way to know
him would be through an unbiased seeking of the way his creation, the
universe, works rather than delving into books that seem to be
fiction, halucinations, lies, and people guessing.

Indeed I am aware of that, according to the source I cited earlier the
mid-2007 estimate for the number of Christian denominations was
39,000.

I'm curious - what are the criteria for deciding whether something is a
"denomination"?
For example, In the past there used to be the Mennonite Church and the
General Conference Mennonite Church. These were both trans-national
organizations (Canada & USA) and even though they cooperate don a great
many things, they were were still alternative choices to each other -
where I live about 60% of the Mennonite churches were MC and 40% GCMC.
An individual church congregation could leave one organization and go to
the other. If you moved from one country to the other you could attend a
church in the same organization and still maintain a voice in how that
organization was run. So to me, that would make sense to consider these
two separate denominations.
But in the late 1990s and early 2000s the two organizations merged
forming the single organization Mennonite Church which then split along
national boundaries and became MC Canada and MC USA. Now these two
organizations cooperate very closely - many programmes, rather than
being duplicated, are administered by one organization with only
financial input from the other - but they still make their decisions
independently and share no common hierarchy. But now if a church would
decide to leave MC USA it could not go and join MC Canada like it could
do before, and if you move cross-border and join another church you are
no longer part of the old organization. So to me this is more like a
single denomination that is divided into regional organizations for
administrative reasons.
Also, there are a lot of single churches that belong to no
denominational organization - if each one of them is documented as a
separate denomination that would unduly inflate the total number of
denominations.
What are the criteria?

The problem with Christianity, as well as with all other religions to-
date, is that they are NOT based on any scientific foundations which
would allow to investigate God and confirm the correctness of these
investigations in empirical manner - as this is done by the "theory of
everything" named the Concept of Dipolar Gravity (see the web page
"dipolar_gravity.htm" on the web site http://jan-pajak.com/dipolar_gravity.htm
). In the result all religions are just human guesses gradually build
up on very sparse information which God provided about Himself to
humans in a divine manner. This is the cause why religions split into
as many branches and denominations as many different ideas people can
invent or guess about God. However, all this does NOT contradict the
existence of God nor contradicts the main thesis of this thread -
namely that for the "higher reasons" God maintains people in the lack
of certainty about His existence.
Fortunately for us, we now have the "theory of everything" called the
Concept of Dipolar Gravity, which eliminates guesses and allows to
invcestigate God scientifically. In addition it allows to confirm
empirically the correctness of outcomes from these investigations of
God. So now we can gradually build up the true picture of God, thus
eliminating guesses which previously so dominated practically every
religion. The true picture of God which emerges from the Concept of
Dipolar Gravity is very amazing. For example, it shows that God is NOT
just an old, a bit sclerotic male with unlimited capacitance to
forgine our sins. God is actually a cold, merciless computer program
which notices every our mistake and every nasty thing that we have
done, and then punishes us mercilessly for all our nasty behaviours.
The true picture of this God started to emerge from findings how this
software God evolved in the liquid computer that the Concept of
Dipolar Gravity calls "counter-matter" - this evolution of God is
described on the totaliztic web page "evolution.htm" which can be
viewed, amongst others, at the web site http://jan-pajak.com/evolution.htm
. The further analyses have shown that the true God uses so-called
"evil" in the same manner as He uses so-called "good" - for example
see part F on the web page "god.htm" - at the address http://jan-pajak.com/god.htm
. What even more interesting, this true God "simulates" the temporary
existence of very evil, human-like creatures which in past were called
"devils" while right now are called "UFOnauts". To be more strange,
all signs indicate that these creatures (i.e God's simulations called
"UFOnauts") are anonymously present in Internet, and are even writing
their posts on this thread - as I indicated this in my earlier threads
devoted to the matter of these creatures.

You can say they or she or even it rather than he if you prefer.
And you should also understand suffering.
Once you have done all the above you say - understand all naturally and not

"The true situation"... Which is, man created god in his own image,
then put it in a book (book of lies) and sold it.
Now we have Religious corperations that have their own armies and have
more power and weapons than our governments do... and there's still
that place... "church" where "god" lives, and the masses give still
give up all their money to go to heaven.
The reality of the situation is that the only true gods are within
us...

I am NOT sure whether you are just joking, or you seriously believe in
this rubbish which is written at the web addresses that you just
indicated. For example, one of these web addresses autoritatively
states that the place in India named "Nalgonda" does NOT exist.
However, it is enough to check in Wikipedia, that this place is more
real than you are, as it does NOT hide its face behind some pseudo-
name. It is located at 17 deg 03 min N, 79 deg 16 min E.
Tell me, are you paid for trying to turn facts into lies - just to
mislead people?
Between you and me, on the totaliztic web page named "memorial.htm"
are explained and illustrated numerous cases when authentic
photographs of UFOs were declared by some masked characters (with
similar pseudo-names like your own) to be just fabrications. (The web
page "memorial.htm" you should be able to find, amongst others, under
the totaliztic address http://jan-pajak.com/memorial.htm .) This
proves that the inconvenient truths some strange masked individuals
accuse to be untrue. We know that it is a common practice for UFOnauts
to declare untrue everything that runs against their secretive
interests on the Earth. From your comments it also seems to appear,
that the truth regarding God is similarly inconvenient to some masked
individuals which you seem to represent. Only this can explain why on
the web pages that you indicated it is stated that "Nalgonda" does NOT
exist. Probably only this also explains why some strange masked
individuals created web pages that you indicated. Perhaps some naive
people are going to believe in your misleading statements - and turn
back to the truth.

The point, you Royal Idiot, is not whether a place called Nalgonda
exists, but that the tree that you talk about and have images of
is a Disney display in Epcot Center called the "Tree of Life"!
And here are even more sites with pictures of the tree your
page uses to prove it:

(a little more than half way down the page. )
Face it: you've been outed. Your page at
http://jan-pajak.com/god_proof.htm
has mislabeled a Disney diaplay as
a holy tree! It is a total fraud.

I see, calling names, overlooking the point, what else... The point
is, that the creators of the "Tree of LIfe" from Disneyland took their
idea from somewhere. So where this idea comes from? I believe that
from a real, living "tree of life" which does exist somewhere in the
big world, perhaps in the place called Nalgonda. Strangly enough, if
you read more about the town of Nalgonda, it turns out that it is
famous for religious curiosities. The "Wikipedia" does NOT explains
what these curiosities are, but perhaps they include a real, alive
"tree of life" from which the Disney creators of the "Tree of LIfe"
took the "blueprint" for their design.
One more point to take notice of, is that in Internet operate
creatures who try to supress the truth on our planet. More information
about these creatures is provided on the thread
http://groups.google.com/group/talk.origins/browse_thread/thread/f43b7ee2d9d8e837/ecabc492dd893a64#ecabc492dd893a64
. One amongst methods of suppression that these creatures use, is the
methos of action which depends on the confrontation of a true object -
which they try to suppress, with a false object, which they use for
squashing purposes. I described this method of suppression in more
details on the web page "memorial.htm" mentioned above, where I
explained and illustrated with photographs how authentic photographs
of UFOs which beam lights towards the Earth are suppressed and
announced to be fakes with the use of photographs of beamers used
during memorial celebrations. The arguments that you use about the
"tree of life" are exact copies of this method of suppression of the

Oh, no. You're not getting away with that, bubba.
The tree you _picture_ on _your_ page is the Disney tree
at Epcot Center. You clearly present it as the tree at
Nalgonda. That is as crooked as can possibly be.

Well, well, you are again missing the point (i.e. that the idea must
come from somewhere to Disney designers, e.g. from the real "tree of
life"). But also NO point to argue with you here. I will explain
everything in more details on the next edition of my web page
"god_proof.htm" which is open to much wider audience - have a look in
there next week. The web page "good_proof.htm" you should be able to

>Re: Why God keeps people in uncertainty of His existence (JP)
Hello,
The wind is invisible. So is the Bible God. Since we can't see this
God, the claim is made that He doesn't exist. Then neither does the
wind exist.
But we know the wind does exist, because of the effect it has on
things. (smoke for instance) Likewise, the God of the Bible exists
because of His effect on things, such as bringing into existence very
complex life forms, things which nature has never been able to produce
by just random chance.
For example, we have within us protein molecules, which are necessary
for our life processes. What are the odds that 1 protein molecule
would randomly form out of a primitive organic "soup"? Evolutionists
admit that it would be about 1 in 10 to the 113th power. (1 followed
by 113 zeros). According to mathematicians, any event that has just
one chance in 10 to the 50th power (1 followed by 50 zeros) is
dismissed as never happening. To get a sense of that number with 113
zeros, it would be greater than the estimated total number of all the
atoms in the universe.
But we are only talking about 1 protein molecule. Some proteins are
used as structural materials, and others as enzymes. Around 2000
enzyme proteins are needed for a cell's functions. What are the
chances of all of these happening at random? 1 chance in 10 to the
40,000th power. (1 followed by 40,000 zeros) The famous astronomer
Fred Hoyle commented on this figure:
"An outrageously small probability, that could not be faced even if
the whole universe consisted of organic soup...If one is not
prejudiced either by social beliefs or by a scientific training into
the conviction that life originated [spontaneously] on the Earth, this
simple calculation wipes the idea entirely out of court." (Evolution
From Space, p24.)
[above information taken from the book "Life—How Did It Get Here? By
Evolution or by Creation?"]
Or as the Bible simplifies it:
"For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is
God." (He 3:4)
We can see His effect by the creation of the many physical laws
keeping the earth and universe from going into pure chaos. Also the
atoms and subatomic particles which make up our bodies, they also go
by strict laws that keep us as "us" all our lives. Yes, such laws
bespeak a Lawgiver. As the Bible touches on it:
"Do you know the laws of the heavens?..." (Job 38:33)
We can see God's effect by His bringing into existence a book inspired
by Him. Many opposers in the past have tried to destroy that book or
the ideas it promotes, but have failed. Interestingly, today that book
is the MOST published book in the world. As the World Book
Encyclopedia says:
"The Bible is the most widely distributed book in history. It has also
been translated more times, and into more languages, than any other
book."
Thus if a deity wanted the human race to learn about Him, would He not
see fit to make such information available to the human race? And He
did.
That book also gives us knowledge that humans would not have known at
that time. One example is that verse above which calls our attention
to the fact that the heavens are ran by "laws", something not
generally known at that time.
Another example is a view of the earth from out in space. As I
frequently bring to people's attention, around 2000 years before the
time of Columbus and when there were all kinds of mythological
descriptions concerning the earth, a Hebrew prophet wrote in Isaiah
40:22,
"He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,..." (NIV)
The Hebrew word used here for "circle" is "hhug" which according to
some Hebrew scholars also has the meaning of "sphere". (for example
see: "A Concordance of the Hebrew and Chaldee Scriptures by B.
Davidson")
Thus some other Bible translations say, "the globe of the earth"
(Douay Version) and, "the round earth." (Moffatt).
But there is more. Also out of the Book of Job comes the gem at Job
26:7,
"He stretches out the north over the void, and hangs the earth upon
nothing." (RSV)
Even many of hundreds of years later from the writing of the book of
Job, the wise man Aristotle still believed things in the heavens were
attached to supports, not just floating there. Yet the Bible said the
earth "hangs...upon nothing." Pretty good 'guess' about such things,
if the Bible is only a fabrication of men, is it not?
So the Bible in its poetic style, describes the earth as a circular
sphere 'hanging' upon "nothing" (floating) in a "void" (space). Since
orbital flight was not around back then, how could they have known
such things? Fantastic guesses or information given by a being much
greater than humans?
You decide.
Sincerely, James
