Religion vs Science

Evolving away from Darwinism

Let me state that both Darwinist and Religious zealots have always been foolish enough to believe they hold the monopoly on knowledge and reason, when in fact they were showing how weak their argument has been by needing the other to prop themselves up. In fact, this killing the opponent by continuously attacking its perceived flaws is common to human nature, we always take a point of view as our own and give it a mirrored opposite and then battle that opposite. Example of this is Politics (Liberal vs. Conservatism), Warmongers vs. Peacemongers, Capitalism vs. Communism, ect.

But what if this great, mysterious, and yet dangerous physical universe is merely the playground for us finding that spiritual universe within ourselves? Can not the mundane realm be big enough for both? What if Science was a gift from God, that we be the better enabled to find our own souls while in our own quest for knowledge and understanding; a fact, much like knowing where you come from in order to know where you are going?

Does not both discovering the laws of Science and discovering Religion require Knowledge, Understanding, and Faith? Read what is written below and apply both to the mysteries of Religion as well as the search for the absolute facts within Science, in that sometimes each requires a leap of Faith:

Faith is in general the persuasion of the mind that a certain statement is true (Phil. 1:27; 2 Thess. 2:13). Its primary idea is trust. A thing is true, and therefore worthy of trust. It admits of many degrees up to full assurance of faith, in accordance with the evidence on which it rests. Faith is the result of teaching (Rom. 10:14-17). Knowledge is an essential element in all faith, and is sometimes spoken of as an equivalent to faith (John 10:38; 1 John 2:3). Yet the two are distinguished in this respect, that faith includes in it assent, which is an act of the will in addition to the act of the understanding.

Science can tell you through evolution how single cell amoebas joined to become a more complex forms of life, but what or who gave them intelligence? What or who gave them those spark of consciousness or self-awareness? Where did the energy and physical matter come from that created the Big Bang? When did nothing become something? Let us look at some basic facts and statements both Religion and Science holds true.





Eventually I will be writing more on this, but for now I want people to ponder this point. I would like to thank Cameron Slayden for this chart; I came across it in my research proving the similarities of the Creation/Evolutionary Timelines and could not find a better way to depict my point which is this: Darwinist supplants God for Science. Extreme Capitalist reveres Money instead of God. Agnostics removes the absolutism of a belief for the sake of not being wrong (sitting on a fence). But what is worse is the people of Religion who takes up the sword against these other people in an attempt to prove these people wrong. My reason for believing this is because they belittle their God. What all the people mentioned above don’t see is this:


What if God is just a little bit bigger in the Great Equation?

Hollywood & Politics

As for Hollywood, Artist and Musicians have always been an inspiration to behold in their endeavors, but seldom do they keep in touch with the real world. Case in point is Barbara Streisand and IRAN? There are too many ostriches in this world with their heads in a hole, only the holes they are sticking their heads into is not on the Earth’s surface!

We must remember that these people are entertainers and thespians; they are not experts because they play one in the movies or travel around the world on tours or on sets.  I have been out there too, and believe me, the places they go is seldom the real-life existence within those countries itself. They tend to go to the ritzier areas that are acceptable to tourist. I have not seen one of them slaughter and cook their own chicken, pig, or cow so that they can have a decent supper, but then again, half of them would faint from the viciousness of such a bloody act.

Look, I am not going to be too harsh on these people because many of them have beautiful souls. There is a beauty in wanting peace on this planet that we call home. It is just not realistic in this period of Humanity.

This is not the Age of Aquarius, but it seems to be slowly heading in that direction. One should always have the dream and desire for peace. But one should never underestimate the cruelty within this world. I believe in truth, that the day each country can retire all law enforcement officers is the day the military can trade their weapons for farming and construction tools and we can give up the ability to wage war and aggression. But history has shown that the military has been the only true peacemakers in this world.

Naked force has been the one true power that has held back the real threats to mankind throughout the ages. Peace is won and kept by those with the will and might to hold it. The minute you do not have the power to hold it, someone is always there to take it and instill their on idea of peace. Only when everybody in this world can agree on set standards of what peace is and are happy with those standards will then peace truly reign. And that is the sad truth of reality and the true hope of peace in the world.

I guess that Artist should always be the Yin to the Yang of a Warriors harsh life and reality. I guess that way the balance is kept. But that still does not make Hollywood correct in this circumstance. Nor should they have a voice or hold political sway in Washington DC. No more than any other individual. Maybe one day we will have true peace, and Artist and Musicians will have their chance to guide this world!      

The United Nations

The United Nations is not this noble world government. If the United States government was set up the way the UN was, Americans would not only be horrified, but would rise in arms against it. It is not a government set up by the people of the world for the people of the world. It was set up by the victors of World War II, who claimed veto rights, and gave the leftovers to the other countries. It is not a government made in the interest of the people but rather made for the interest of governments. Those same governments that the people (who support the UN) claim are corrupted. The only checks and balances in the United Nations are Money, Might, and Manipulation! The reason the United States can steer the UN even when everyone disagrees with us is because we are the richest country (money), with the strongest military ever (might), with commercial and humanitarian interest worldwide (manipulation). Not only have that, but people all over the world liked the idea of America, if not the United States itself.

The United Nation is politically impotent and misguided, but not a waste of time. Its humanitarian successes have been a beautiful thing to behold, despite being a bazaar for geo-political agendas. So why are the great-defenders of the people’s rights demanding that we go to an organization that allows governments to have a voice and not the people themselves? The same Organization that has told the United States of America five times, that we have to alter the American Constitution, and that the American people have to give up some of their constitutional rights in order to appease the world body. Below are 4 of the 5 (I cannot find the fifth one)

The United States rejected the World Court because they stated American citizens will not be allowed the rights that the US Constitution states are theirs by right of Providence and not governments, ours or the United Nation’s.

The United States rejected UN’s Declaration of Principles for the Regulation of Firearms and other UN attempts because it bans individuals from having their own weapons, or in their words, "It is not a right to possess a firearm. This was the consensus.” Once again the US Constitution Second Amendment’s Amendment II Right to Bear Arms (1791) is in the way of the United Nations.

The United States rejected the Kyoto Accords because of its bias towards the US, its vague wordings allow for manipulation of this treaty instead of set standards for all, and costliness of implementing the drastic standards instead of little, yet constant changes. See: http://www.ce.umn.edu/classes/fall02/ce3501/kyoto8.pdf

UN Ministers have already told the media that the U.S. must alter Amendment I Freedom of Religion, Speech, Press, Assembly, Petition (1791), because it obstructs an almost unanimous vote to ban specific advertising of tobacco products in all countries. People should be persuaded to quit smoking, not dictated.

Ruling on the Pledge of Allegiance

By Warbard

We all understand that the reason for the separation of Church and State was because of the persecution that our ancestors faced from Britain's state-oriented church. We all understand the dangers in mixing a religious organization with government policies, especially when we have a multi-cultured society such as ours with many beliefs. But this new ruling on the Pledge of Allegiance as being unconstitutional has nothing to do with the separation of Church and State. Please allow me to explain:

The idea was to keep a specific denomination and physical religious organization out of government. What these recent squabbles have been about is not the separation of Church and State, but rather the separation of Faith and State, and our founding fathers have never intended that. We are taking what they stated too far. Understand that these were faith based men, who in the wisdom God gave them separated Religion (as a physical organization) from Government. But these men held their Faith (in God) within the foundations of this Government. God is not church. Proof of that is that Islam; Judaism, and Christianity, three separate religions hold sacred the God of Abraham.

Anyone who has read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution understands that these men believed that God endowed all men with these rights, the same rights that now threatens to renounce God because misguided people seems to think that God and Church is synonymous when in fact he is closer to the idea of Faith or as an entity of Hope.

George Washington warned us;
“Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and morality enjoin this conduct, and can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it? It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and at no distant period a great nation to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence. Who can doubt that in the course of time and things the fruits of such a plan would richly repay any temporary advantages which might be lost by a steady adherence to it? Can it be that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a nation with its virtue? The experiment, at least, is recommended by every sentiment which ennobles human nature. Alas! Is it rendered possible by its vices?”

An exalted justice and benevolence = God

Our Founding Fathers knew that a nation without God, Accountability, and Morality, would quickly become a perished nation, feeding upon itself as it destroys all about it. Proof of this was the French Revolution and its “Reign of Terror” where they abandoned not only religion, but God as well for the sake of pure Secularism. As a result, the revolution became blood, butchery, and mob rule as no one was accountable to a higher power and as a result, a human tyrant assumed the office of that higher power and took hold of that nation, throwing her stately neighbors into the multi-national Napoleonic War. Even Nazi Germany threw aside God for the sake of Nationalism, and the Holocaust and World War II was the result. Many of our founding fathers were Freemasons, a group of men who has learned to separate what is physical religion to what is God and Faith. They knew the importance of an Almighty God, and yet knew how to separate their own personal churches for the sake of unity.

Let us not confuse these two issues here. I pray (or hope) that the people of the United States will learn to show the same wisdom that our Founding Fathers have shown in separating Church and State, but keeping Faith and State as whole, and ensure that the Pledge of Allegiance remains intact as it is! I will have faith that our government will eventually overturn this ruling and that Atheist, Agnostics, and non-monotheistic religious people will keep their beliefs, yet come to accept the principles on which this nation was built as they should its laws, liberties, and language.
