Occasionally, scientists actually call their own theories into question. This happened recently with experiments performed by CERN scientists using the CERN collider.

They were doing experiments looking for asymmetry in the universe. Instead of finding asymmetry, they found that there was complete symmetry between matter and antimatter in their experiments. Their conclusion was that, under those circumstances, the universe should not even exist! What’s left unsaid in all of this is why they were looking for asymmetry in the first place and exactly what did they mean that the universe should not exist? Here’s the backstory.

There are only two kinds of scientists. Stop me if you have heard me say this before. Two kinds of scientists – those that believe that God exists and those that don’t. Those scientists that do not believe in a creator god would go looking for asymmetry in the universe; those that do believe in God, would go looking for symmetry. Again, the CERN scientists went looking for asymmetry. Why? Obviously, because they do not believe in a creator god.

The reasoning for why the universe shouldn’t exist goes something like this. A universe formed by Nature (i.e. The Big Bang) would produce something that is asymmetrical. Otherwise, the matter and antimatter would cancel each other out and the universe would not exist.

However, if the universe is symmetrical as the CERN scientists found, why does the universe exist at all? How is that possible? The answer is that there would have to be some unseen force that holds it all together. Here are a few explanations of that “force” from some well-known scientists:

  • French physicist Bernard d’Espagnat claimed that the true reality of creation was outside of space and time.
  • Theoretical physicist James Gates says that his research demonstrates that the equations which describe the fundamental nature of the universe contain embedded computer codes. In other words, we exist in a virtual reality matrix.
  • The book The Holographic Universe which is based on the work of physicist David Bohm, a protege of Albert Einstein, and quantum physicist Karl Pribram theorizes that our reality is based on frequencies that have been projected into our universe from a realm that is beyond both space and time.

So, the CERN scientists went looking for asymmetry and instead they found what, Mister Goodbar? Well, some will surely argue that they found evidence that God exists. Why don’t the CERN scientists just state the obvious, then? Well, because they don’t believe in God as I mentioned before. Their scientific theories are based on an ideology; namely, that God does not exist. So, the result of their experiment that the universe is symmetrical will be discarded in due course as just another unexplained anomaly because as evolutionary biologist Richard Lewontin admitted …”we can’t allow a Divine Foot in the door.”

So, my last post Between Science and Faith brought a chorus of boos from both sides of the aisle. Too bad, because in my opinion you deserve it…and each other. So, let’s review the bidding.

At least in this country, the battle between science and faith boils down to a debate between atheism and Christianity. I refer to it as “Dueling Delusions.” The main sticking point has to do with which side is deemed to be more tied to a “preconceived ideology”. In my opinion, that’s a toss-up since Christianity believes in talking snakes while at least some atheists, who rely on science to describe all things big and small, apparently believe that science can observe beyond space and time and that scientific formulae written on a chalkboard constitute proof.

The underlying problem for Christianity is that it is based on a reinterpretation of scriptures written by Jewish holy men whereby Christianity claims that the writers of the Old Testament (Jewish Bible) didn’t understand what they were writing.  Opposed to that, we have atheism which is an ideology centered around materialism, evolution and naturalism, and which uses cherry-picked scientific theory (not fact) to support its ideology. I say “cherry-picked” because as Nobel laureate George Wald admitted, “Spontaneous generation was disproved 100 years ago, but that leads us only to one other conclusion: that of supernatural creation. We cannot accept that on philosophical grounds (personal reasons); therefore, we choose to believe the impossible: that life arose spontaneously by chance.“

The larger question in this debate is why is there a debate at all and why is it only between  atheism and Christianity. Why aren’t the other world religions (of which there are several thousand) included in this discussion? The reason as Michael Ruse, an evolutionist himself, said, “Evolution is promulgated as an ideology, a secular religion—a full-fledged alternative to Christianity, with meaning and morality….” So, the debate is not necessarily about who is right but rather it’s about whether atheism can replace Christianity (as the prevailing religion).

As to where I stand in this debate, I simply contend that both sides are based on preconceived ideology. This has resulted in a debate that has gone absolutely no where. Both sides believe in their own dogma, a dogma which is impervious to falsification. As Mark Twain once commented, “It ain’t what you know that gets you in trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.”



This debate, however, is merely a microcosm of the contentious, divisive social arguments one can witness in society today.  In the end, it is not so much an intellectual argument as it is really about who gets to rule and the social/political/economic ideas that each group endorses. It’s “identity politics” at its finest. It’s ultimately about whether the rights of man come from God or the state. That’s why I say that America is at war with itself: verbally, spiritually and politically. You might want to think of it as a Second Civil War. Hang on. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.





This is kind of a tired, old discussion, however, people keep posting about it so I guess I have to put in my own two cents (once again).  That is, which is better…science or faith.

Although, both have their place, I would say neither.  While I don’t accept the biblical explanation of creation, I don’t accept the atheists’ version of it either.  That was the essence of my prior post Dueling Delusions.

So, here’s some people, obviously atheists, who commented on a recent post on this subject:

Quote #1:

“Neither our observable universe, nor possibly a larger cosmos, require some intelligence or higher power for their ‘creation.’ Such rationalizations simply reflect ignorance or are designed to support some preconceived notion in lieu of factual evidence.”

My comment:

That’s true, but incomplete. In fact, it’s totally one-sided. As physicist David Bohm succinctly put it, “A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.”  Bohm was talking about everyone but in this case I would especially apply his quote to the person who made the above comment where they said that “…such rationalizations simply…are designed to support some preconceived notion.” For example, this person believes that the unobservable cosmos does not require a higher power for its creation. Obviously, that’s a preconceived idea since there is no scientific evidence to support it.



Quote #2:

“Evolution is fact as the evidence tells us.”

Perhaps, this person should read up on evolutionist Steven Jay Gould who said:


Or maybe scientist and Nobel laureate George Wald who said:


Or maybe agnostic scientist Michael Denton who said:


Or maybe Dr Eric Bapteste, an evolutionary biologist at the Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris, who said:


Or maybe evolutionist Michael Ruse, who said:




… “I see no reason for a deity or god. Everything has a scientific explanation or a set of working hypothesis good enough for me.”

My comment:

As to this person’s opinion that…”everything has a scientific explanation”, I would simply say that science doesn’t hold the key to creation.  Some scientists even freely admit it. For example:

Life is the most mysterious of all the wonders of creation because atoms have been assembled in such a way so that they can ponder their own existence.” – Astrophysicist Martin Rees

“If inflation is the dynamite behind the Big Bang, we’re still looking for the match”  – Dr. Michael Turner, cosmologist at the University of Chicago


“What a life in science really teaches you is the vastness of our ignorance.” – David Eagleman

“Science has proof without certainty” – Ashley Montagu

“We have failed to protect science against speculative extensions of nature, continuing to assign physical and mathematical properties to hypothetical entities beyond what is observable in nature.”  – Robert Lanza

“A singularity is when we don’t know what to do. What’s so embarrassing about singularities is that we can’t predict what’s going to come out of it.”  – Prof. Andrew Strominger, Harvard University


So, the science that the above people are no doubt referring to as the same one that Paul Feyerabend commented on when he said, “Thus science is much closer to myth than scientific philosophy is prepared to admit… it is inherently superior only for those who have already decided in favour of a certain ideology, or who have accepted it without having ever examined its advantages and its limits.”  The ideology in question is materialism as Richard Lewontin stated (see above).  It’s no accident that atheism, evolution and materialism go hand-in-hand.  That’s because, they are all part of the same ideology.

So, yes, it’s a tired debate between two camps (atheists and deists) who both have a preconceived notion that they are right. As Stuart Chase said, “For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don’t believe, no proof is possible.”  Perhaps, however, the debate continues on (and on) because both sides are, in reality, trying to convince themselves that they are right.


“A belief is not merely an idea the mind possesses. It is an idea that possesses the mind.”  – Robert Oxton Bolt

So, Christians believe that they are living in sin. Naturally, since, it’s part of Christian theology, which is supposedly based on the story of Adam and Eve. Too bad that the Bible is in disagreement.

According to the Bible, no less than Jesus and God made statements that they disagreed with the concept of Original Sin (see John 9:2-3 and Genesis 8:21, respectively). Of course, the whole issue is probably moot anyway because Judaism doesn’t believe in Original Sin and they wrote the Old Testament – it’s their bible. Enough said.

Heaven and hell is another misconstrued part of Christian theology. It’s somewhat true, although woefully incomplete. At the risk of oversimplifying, heaven is our natural state of existence (where we originally came from if you will) and hell…well hell is right here on Earth. The story of the Fall is loosely based on how man stepped down from a higher plane of existence into this material world.

Keep in mind, the “natural state” of existence is non-physical. That is, life is energy and energy is life and, of course, energy is non-physical. As Einstein put it, energy can neither be created or destroyed. However, it can change form. Thus, if you reduce the vibration rate of energy it will condense, eventually into matter. That’s how man went from Heaven to Hell.

So, if there was no Original Sin and we are already in Hell, why did Jesus come? The better question, however, is this, “If Jesus didn’t preach the concept of Original Sin, why does the Church believe in it?” The answer to that question is that it has to do with the basis of all religions. I call it the selling of salvation. In effect, religion is a barter. You put money into the church coffers and in return you are given the so-called keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. The bottom line is essentially this: If there is no Original Sin, there is no need for salvation and, therefore, no need for a messiah.

All religions are based on a common source of abstract beliefs in the Divine.  Jesus, like other prophets before and after him, taught these “truths” under a veil of allegory and symbolism (and parables in Jesus’ case). The disciples believed that Jesus was the messiah who was prophesied by Old Testament prophets who were expecting a real flesh-and-blood messiah (like King David) who would deliver them from their enemies and reestablish the Kingdom of Israel. Of course, it never happened.

Some two thousand years later, we’re still waiting for the Old Testament prophecies to come true. According to prophecy, all we need is a messiah named Immanuel; for the entire world to accept the Jewish god; and for all the Jews to return to their homeland. That last one is a bit problematic as the Jewish homeland, according to the Bible, is Judea and Samaria while the present day state of Israel for the most part does not encompass those territories.

If you believe in the Old Testament prophecies, it looks increasingly unlikely that a messiah will ever return. If one could ask twentieth century Christian theologian Albert Schweitzer, he’d no doubt say that Jesus should have returned in the lifetime of the disciples (if he was the messiah). At least, that was what he said in his book The Quest for the Historical Jesus. 

…and that was not just his opinion, but rather what the Bible, itself, said.




Man’s been blessed, and cursed, with the desire to know. So many questions, but so few answers. Yet, through it all, man seems to think that he knows all the answers…. How curious.

Some would say that God definitely exists and they would recall stories from ancient times about what he did and even quote what he supposedly said. Others, just as confidently, would say that a creator does not exist and that they know beyond a shadow of a doubt the secrets of the universe (the origins of life)…. How arrogant.

Fortunately, man has the capabilities of imagination and intuition. Through these abilities he can glimpse beyond space and time into the unknown. As Jung put it, “The psyche is not restricted to space and time alone.” However, what man would find there is beyond man’s brain to comprehend (i.e. the finite cannot understand the Infinite)…. Just ask Einstein.

In the world beyond, everything is upside down (so to speak). Our laws of physics do not apply there. Nevertheless, mystics and prophets have attempted to describe it. The prophet Isaiah was said to have actually seen God sitting on a throne, with his long robe filling the temple (Isaiah 6:1). Both Ezekiel and the author of the Book of Revelation also had visions in which they experienced strange, indescribable sights….So who can properly interpret what they saw?

Aside: Not even they knew of what they saw.  They simply described, in earthly terms, things that could not be described purely in earthly terms.

The sad truth is that man’s memory banks have been wiped clean and his DNA has been manipulated to restrict his evolution. He can ask all the questions he wants but he can not ever know the unknowable. All that man can really do is experience – his life that is. Although man experiences his life as being real, there is really no way to know for sure. Perhaps, we are all just characters in someone else’s movie….At least that’s what I saw.



You may put a telescope into the hands of a man who is blind, and bid him to look at some distant star, or on some lovely landscape. He tells you he sees nothing. Well, his witness is true. So the Agnostic affirms of all supernatural religion, that he knows it not. His witness also is true. But if the blind man goes further, and asserts, that because he sees nothing there is nothing to see, his assertion is untrue and his witness is worthless because he speaks beyond the range of his capacity. Such is the true value of the natural man’s opinion when he declares his mind on spiritual things.”Evan H. Hopkins


“The Matrix is a computer-generated dream world, built to keep us under control in order to change a human being into this.” (a copper-top D cell battery) – from the movie The Matrix


From those of you who are religious, I get the same questions over and over again. For example, “Why doesn’t God answer my prayers?” It reminds me of a football game where the two teams huddle up before the game and pray to God for victory; both of them praying about the very same thing but wanting a completely opposite result. Sort of makes one sympathetic about God’s predicament, ala Jim Carrey, in the movie Bruce Almighty.

However, my favorite question is “Where is God?” It’s a fair question since arguably God has not talked to anyone since Moses. The answer to that question is really quite simple and perhaps completely unexpected for most: God is not here because he can’t be here!

To understand this requires a little bit of a scientific explanation. That is, everything in the universe is energy; everything, even God. You should think of God as the creative force which is the source of all energy. Now, vibration is a fundamental characteristic of energy. The lowest level of vibration is matter and the highest level of vibration is God. So, if God were to manifest in front of you, you would cease to exist because you could not maintain your own level of vibration. It would be sort of like the old Memorex ads where sound shatters a glass.

Of course, this explanation may lead some of you to ask how God appeared to Adam, Abraham and Moses (according to the Bible). Again, the answer is completely unexpected for most. My apologies to those who accept religion as the Word of God, but God has never appeared to man. Never. The Bible stories are just that – stories, although perhaps based on real events. It’s sort of like those movies you see that say they are inspired by real events. If you want some related information on this, try reading the Book of Enoch.

So, what are we doing here then? Let’s try and break it down.

The universe is holographic. What exactly does that mean? At the risk of oversimplifying, it means that the universe is an illusion. It exists, it’s real, but it’s far from what you think it is. Space and time are also illusions, or as Einstein so aptly put it, “a construct.” Further, space and time are dependent on the observer(you). The brilliant physicist John Wheeler explained it thusly: “The universe does not exist ‘out there,’ independent of us. We are inescapably involved in bringing about that which appears to be happening. We are not only observers. We are participators.”

Participators in what you might ask? Well, in creating reality for starters, just as John Wheeler stated. That is, we are “inescapably involved in what appears to be happening.” A key word here is “appears” because, as Michael Talbot explained in his book The Holographic Universe, our reality is constructed mathematically by our brains from frequencies that have been projected into our universe from a realm that is beyond both space and time.  Constructed mathematically you understand.

Beyond that, man is so much more than what we have ever been told. For starters, our DNA can communicate beyond space and time! In that regard, Russian molecular biologist Pjotr Gariaiev was one of the pioneers in DNA-related research. His discovery, which was based on his work as part of The Human Genome Project, is that DNA is a network of human consciousness, a process by which it functions similarly to a biological internet. The upshot is that DNA is part of an energy field which extends outside of space and time.

However, there’s a twist to the story – the universe is, in reality, a real-life simulation! It’s what I refer to as “the video game effect.” The system is artificial and is operated by very advanced technology, something akin to a supercomputer with a holographic computer code. It was physicist Dr. James Gates who first noticed that certain scientific theories which describe the fundamental nature of the universe contain embedded computer codes (simply ones and zeros, just like in your own computer’s software).

This system is operated by non-humans who exist outside of space and time. In ancient times, the Gnostics called them archons and early Arabian mythology referred to them as jinns. They literally hijacked this realm. The Lord’s Prayer was written as a plea to deliver man from evil (the archons).

Humans, themselves, came from outside the system. You could refer to it as a spiritual realm. In essence, we have stepped down from a spiritual form to a physical form, biblically the Fall of Man, and our memory banks have been wiped clean. Our world then is, in effect, a spiritual prison. As in the movie Tron, the trick is to get out of the game.

Complicating matters is that for many their choices have actually been predetermined through a form of mind control. This mind control system programs our subconscious minds, preempting our free will. This is the explanation for the discovery by scientists that our decisions are made before we are consciously aware of them.

Today, that mind-control system, with its subliminal messaging, is everywhere – from advertisements, to movies, to music to education, to the six-o’clock news. Only when you do not identify with the material world can you achieve liberation from the mind-control system. Fear and ignorance are your enemies. Therefore, you need to identify with your spiritual self as opposed to your physical self. Remember, everything is energy, including yourself. If you gain in awareness, you can increase your vibration rate which in turn can lead to escaping the matrix.

However, man is generally not aware of his origins or his true powers. As a result, he has not yet evolved to the point of being able to escape the matrix.  How come, you might ask. Well, it happens to benefit certain people to keep the masses ignorant. It’s a dirty little secret that you’re not suppose to know…but, of course, now you know.



If man is to survive, he will need to wake up. He’s been sleepwalking in the dream world. As Morpheus told Neo (in the movie The Matrix), “But I can only show you the door. You’re the one that has to walk through it.”
