WE ARE NOT ADVOCATING TEACHING 'INTELLIGENT DESIGN" IN THE CLASSROOM. EXCEPT IN A COMPARATIVE RELIGION COURSE. IT IS NOT SCIENTIFICALLY JUSTIFIABLE. HOWEVER, THERE EXIST OTHER MAJOR QUESTIONS SCIENTISTS AND RELIGIONISTS MUST CONFRONT. OBVIOUS QUESTIONS NO LONGER IGNORABLE.
PROSE NARRATIVE DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING IS NOT VERBATIM - LITERAL - GOSPEL QUOTATION: >>>>>>> Rather, it is a literary device. A PROSE NARRATIVE COMPOSITE. The gathering of an assorted GOSPEL PASSAGES; reiterated in colloquial speech. Nevertheless, although portions are speculative, this represents a sincere scholarly, interpretive, rational-deliberative work. The labor, 44 years of concentrated scriptural erudition.. >>>>>>> The objective was and is: to ascertain the most probable accurate Gospel principles and understanding - underlying Jesus's philosophy of life. Contemporary TERMINOLOGY is used for those unacquainted with the multi-layered intricacies and implications of the Gospel's message. To establish, for themselves, a modern-day appreciation of what Jesus's probable perspective: is, was, would; and, "could" be. This narrative characterizes only this author's academic scriptural assessment and opinion. It is non-denominational in character. Not intended as evangelization. To emphasize this devise is "not necessarily" the exact Gospel - no quotation marks are utilized. >>> The Theologian
"I THINK SOME PEOPLE WILL BE VERY ANGRY WITH ME?" THE THEOLOGIAN
"FOR ONCE, I THINK YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT." THE PHILOSOPHER
"AND, YES. HE IS IN REAL TROUBLE, NOW." THE PHILOSOPHER
THE
THEOLOGIAN'S
EVOLUTION
IS
CREATION
PAGE
"EVOLUTION IS CREATION." THE THEOLOGIAN
"CREATION IS EVOLUTION!" THE THEOLOGIAN
"Creation is Evolution; Evolution Is On-Going Creation! Creation Never Ended ! LOOK AROUND YOU - The Creative Evolutionary Process of Change is happening before your eyes. Do you have the VISION to see?" The Theologian
THE ONLY THING WHICH DOES NOT CHANGE, IS CHANGE ITSELF. GOD IS CHANGE. HOWEVER, NOT BOUND BY IT." THE THEOLOGIAN AND THE PHILOSOPHER
"On The Eight Day, The Father Arose From Rest, And Continued creating until This Very Moment." The Theologian
St Peter said: "A thousand years is but a day to God."
GOD'S TIME NOT OUR TIME GOD'S WAY NOT OUR WAY
"God's time is not our time. God has no time. God's Plan is not our plan, We relentlessly obstinately apply our plan; when, in the end, only His Plan matters. Stubbornly, insistently within our time expectations, God is the River , Whose current we boldly, even brazenly, swim against, Until we exhaust ourselves. Then River overtakes over, we succumb to Its flow, and it carries us gently along, to the destination where we belong. Its current within Its time and plan. In the end, we surrender, with an inner quiet admission, that God, not we, understood what the was life's plan. "
"The Philosopher" "The Theologian"
Jesus said: "The Kingdom of God is spread throughtout the Universe, yet men see it not." "Is it because men see, but do not possess vision. Hear but do not understand, Cling to their Igrorance in fear rather than seeking The Truth." The Theologian, The Philosopher
" OR, IS IT? The Kingdom of God is spread throughout the Universe. But, most men see it not. They lack the vision; because they refuse to seek the Wisdom, outside their preferred 'wisdom?'" The Theologian.
SCIENCE IS SIMPLY THE STUDY OF GOD, BY ATTEMPTING TO DISCOVER EMPIRICAL DATA PROVING DIVINE EXISTENCE. NO MOE, NO LESS." THE THEOLOGIAN, THE PHILOSOPHER
"One thing is certain. Intelligent Laws of Physics - Macro and Micro - do exist... " The Theologian
"Can laws exist, without a Law Giver. A Thinker?" The Theologian
Where did these Laws originate?
"Under Chaos Theory: What if RANDOMNESS does not exist. What if it is merely what we see from our limited perspective. Does God know the outcome of the next roll of dice. Computer plotting raises an affirmative answer. " The Theologian
THE QUESTION MUST BE ADDRESSED, SCIENTIFICALLY STUDIED, WHERE DID THE FIRST PENCIL POINT OF MATTER COME FROM, BEGORE THE BIG BAGAROO OCURRED?
"I am a Big Banger: However, where did the pencil point of matter from which the Big Bang exploded come from? For from NOTHINGNESS - SOMETHING cannot BE CREATED. Nor can The State of NOTHINGNESS be created from somethingness. For that which exists can never be destroyed. " THE THEOLOGIAN [COMMENTS REQUESTED]
THE FIRST RULE: "FROM NOTHING, SOMETHING CANNOT BE MADE OR CREATED?"
THE SECOND RULE: "SOMETHING EXISTING CANNOT BE EVER BE MADE NOTHINGNESS - ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED?"
'ERGO, THAT WHICH IS, IS. AND, ALWAYS WILL BE. THAT WHICH IS NOT; NEVER SHALL BE.?" THE THEOLOGIAN
THE QUESTION OF EXISTENCE MUST BE RE-EXAMINED
THE CARTESIANS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROOF PROBLEM
"COGITO" IS CLOSE BUT INSUFFICIENT
"I AM NOT BECAUSE, I THINK I AM. I AM BECAUSE I KNOW I AM?" THE THEOLOGIAN
"WHEN I DREAM, WHO AM I?"
"WHEN I DREAM, WHERE AM I?"
"WHEN I DREAM,OT. BECAUSE I AN JUST DREAMING NOT EXISTING IN REALITY?"
"NICE TRY, RENEE"
We suggest the Sinatra Solution: "Hey. I am, Man, because I do." Like in, "Skooby be doo be doo, skooby be doo be doo, ..." "Cantoro; ergo, sum!"

The Father cannot be incarcerated in a building. He resides throughout the Universe. The Father is "OMNIPRESENT" = EVERYWHERE!
RELIGION MAKES LIMITLESS, INFINITE GOD TOO SMALL.
RELIGION IS NOT GOD
REILGION IS ONLY ABOUT GOD
ONLY THE FIRST BABY STEP ON ONE'S DIFFICULT JOURNEY BACK HOME FOR REUNION WITH YOUR FATHER WHO CREATED YOU.
"GOD CANNOT BE INCARCERATED IN A PRISON CELL OF ANY MAN-MADE SELF-SERVING RELIGION; THE FATHER [ALLAH OR YAWEH OR ANY OTHER OF HIS INFINITE NAMES] IS OMNIPOTENT! ALL-POWERFUL. NOTHING - NO ONE CAN DEFEAT HIM. HE CAN PROTECT HIMSELF. HE DOES NOT NEED A BUNCH OF RELIGIOUS FANATICS, WRONGFULLY FEIGNING TO ACT IN HIS NAME, TO TRAVEL THE EARTH KILLING HIS OTHER CHILDREN. GET IT? GOD DOES NOT NEED MAN. MAN NEEDS GOD."
THIS IS WHY ST PAUL SAID, IN EFFECT,: WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I DID CHILDISH THINGS. WHEN I BECAAME A MAN, I PUT AWAY CHILDISH THINGS. SND, SO TOO WITHY OU IT MUST BE [REGARDING SIMPLISTIC RELIGION]. I GAVE YOU SPIRITUAL RELIGIOUS MILK WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT YOU THE GOSPEL. BUT, NOW, YOU MUST SPIRITUALLY MATURE, TO CONSUME SPIRIUAL MEAT.
THIS IS WHY JESUS CONDEMNED THE PRIESTS FOR THEIR HYPOCRISY AND GREED, BUT COMMANDED HIS FOLLOWERS: "DO WHAT THEY TELL YOU TO DO, BUT DO NOT DO AS THOSE HYPOCRITES DO." Meaning religion has it place as the first step on the spiritual journey HOME, but religion is not enough to gain enttrtrance into THE PEARLY GATES OF PARADISE.
PEOPLE'S PROBLEM IS THIS: THEY CONFUSE, MIX-UP GOD WITH RELIGION. GOD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RELIGION, RELIGIONS ARE MAN'S CREATION; NOT GOD'S. RELIGION WATERS DOWN GOD'S WAYS IN THE NAME OF GOD. MEN LOVE RELIGIONS. WHY? BECAUSE IT IS A SIMPLISTIC WAY TO SELF-JUSTIFY AND SELF-DECEIVE THEMSELVES, OTHER MEN AND GOD. GOD DOES NOT BUY IT. SEE THE PROPHET AMOS AND THE LORD'S LIFE. GOD DOES NOT NEED RELIGIONS, ALL THE FANATICS AND HYPOCRITES WHO ARROGANTLY INSIST HE IS ON THEIR SIDE. GOD IS ON EVERYONE'S SIDE. HE IS OUR FATHER. CREATED AND LOVES EACH ONE OF US - GOOD OR EVIL.
BESIDES CONSIDER THIS WHO MURDEREED JESUS? THE SON OF GOD? THE PRIESTS USING THEIR MAN-MADE RELIGION TO HORRIBLE MURDER GOD IN GOD'S HOLY NAME. THESE RELIGIONISDTS FUNDAMENTALISTS. POMPOSOUSLY OFFEND GOD FOR THEIR RELIGION. NO. MEN WILL FOLLOW RELIGION BEFORE THEY WILL FOILLOW THE WAYS OF GOD AND THE MASTER. MEN WILL DO ANYTHING TO AVOID THE HARD BUT RIGHTEOUS. JUST WAY. BECAUSE A MAN IS A RELIGIOUS MAN, DOES NOT MEAN HE IS A GOOD MAN - NOR A HOLY MAN. WHAT IF A MAN IS RELIGIOUS, NEVERS SINNED AGAINST RELIGION'S RULES, BUT NEVER DID ANYTHING GOOD. IS HE HOLY?

What is The Father's Will, Uncle The?"
"Well. It's like taking real good care of all the little guys like you in the Universe."
"O.K. Buy me that doll I wanted! I know it's God's Will for sure."
