We are all born in sin… but that does not justify continuing to live in sin.  GOD paid a very HIGH PRICE to make the way for us to be free from sin.  To CHOOSE to remain in your sin nature, is a very big mistake.  The devil tells you that you are a STAR a DIVA a QUEEN…  that is a lie.  If you remain in your sin… you are lost/condemned/fallen.  If you CHOOSE GOD’s plan of redemption and life… then you will receive a CROWN. 

Lady Gag – Born This Way (Live from the GRAMMYs on CBS)

If you are foolish enough to believe that this stuff is just all about putting on an entertaining show…you better wake up.  This is ritual MAGICK.  They are casting spells over you.  Check this out.  Gaga spent 72 hours in that egg preparing for the message/ritual.  That is how serious she is about this magick/alchemy.  I will bet you that she fast for 72 hours…or else she would need a toilet.

Gaga Spent 72 Hours Inside Grammy Egg; ‘It Was a Creative Experience’

And naturally, she arrived in the CITY of ANGELS!

She explains the meaning behind her infamous awards show entrance.

Lady Gaga spent some quality time inside her Grammy egg.

“I was in there for about 72 hours. It was a very creative experience,” the singer, who won three Grammy awards, said Tuesday on Ryan Seacrest‘s KIIS-FM radio show.

“It was time for me to really prepare and think about the meaning of the song and get prepared for the performance. I really wanted to be born on stage,” she added. “The creative vesselwas helpful for me to stay focused. We had it backstage so that I was able to really stay in this sort of creative, embryonic incubation.”

“This is what I do, Ryan. I’m so passionate about this record and the meaning of the album,” she went on.

“When I create music, I see music as sort of a wall of sounds and colors. Every song sort of bears this hue and this color to it, and that’s how I end up ultimately creating the performances,” she said. “That was one of my most favorite things at the Grammys, the color palate of the stage. I just thought it was so beautiful and that’s really how I see the song.”

Although “Born This Way” is still going strong on iTunes, Gaga can’t wait for her next songs off the album of the same name.

“The next single is called ‘Judas‘ and that will be out a couple of weeks before the album. I did that record with RedOne, who is so amazing,” she said.

Other songs include “Marry the Night,” “Government Hooker” and her favorite, “Hair,” which she explains is “a club record with this Bruce Springsteen vibe to it.”

In case you did not get the message from BORN THIS WAY… this number should cement it in your mind.  It is all about choosing the DARK SIDE and REJECTING GOD’s PRECIOUS GIFT OF LOVE. 

JUDAS: by Lad Gaga

Ohohohoh I’m in love with Judas Ohohohoh I’m in love with Judas Judas! Judaas Judas! Judaas Judas! Judaas Judas! GAGA When he comes to me I am ready I’ll wash his feet with my hair if he needs Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain Even after three times he betrays me I’ll bring him down, bring him down, down A king with no crown, king with no crown I’m just a Holy Fool, oh baby he’s so cruel But I’m still in love with Judas, baby I’m just a Holy Fool, oh baby he’s so cruel But I’m still in love with Judas, baby Ohohohoh I’m in love with Judas Ohohohoh I’m in love with Judas Judas! Judaas Judas! Judaas Judas! Judaas Judas! GAGA I couldn’t love a man so purely Even prophets forgave his crooked way I’ve learned love is like a brick you can Build a house or sink a dead body I’ll bring him down, bring him down, down A king with no crown, king with no crown I’m just a Holy Fool, oh baby he’s so cruel

But I’m still in love with Judas, baby I’m just a Holy Fool, oh baby he’s so cruel But I’m still in love with Judas, baby Ohohohoh I’m in love with Judas Ohohohoh I’m in love with Judas In the most Biblical sense, I am beyond repentance Fame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind But in the cultural sense I just speak in future tense Judas, kiss me if offenced, Or wear an ear condom next time I wanna love you, But something’s pulling me away from you Jesus is my virtue, Judas is the demon I cling to I cling to I’m just a Holy Fool, oh baby he’s so cruel But I’m still in love with Judas, baby I’m just a Holy Fool, oh baby he’s so cruel But I’m still in love with Judas, baby Ohohohoh I’m in love with Judas Ohohohoh I’m in love with Judas Judas! Judaas Judas! Judaas Judas! Judaas Judas! GAGA

GAGA’s ritual was an offering, an incantation, and an invocation.  What spirit was she invoking?   Why none other than the demon of hermaphrodites.  Sexual imbiguity or confusion.  Isn’t it interesting how suddenly there is an onslaught of people (especially young people) who have gender confusion?

Orphic Egg
1774 depiction of the Orphic Egg by Jacob Bryant.

The Orphic Egg in the Ancient Greek Orphic tradition is the cosmic egg from which hatched the primordial hermaphroditic deity Phanes/Protogonus (variously equated also with Zeus, Pan, Metis, Eros, Erikepaios and Bromius) who in turn created the other gods.^[1] The egg is often depicted with a serpent wound about it.

So one of the gods/demons identified as hermaphorditic is PAN.  PAN has been worshiped by people all over the world as Peter Pan and similar manifestations.  TO learn more about PAN and his influence on current society check out my series on PAN:

Hermaphroditism (Intersex)

• Download PDF Copy

By Yolanda Smith, B.Pharm.Reviewed by Dr. Liji Thomas, MD

Hermaphroditism, also referred to as intersex, is a condition in which there is a discrepancy between the external and internal sexual and genital organs. It is grouped together with other conditions as a disorder of sex development (DSD).

There are four different types of hermaphroditism, as follows:

• 46, XX hermaphroditism
• 46, XY hermaphroditism
• True gonadal hermaphroditism
• Complex hermaphroditism

Even with the introduction of modern diagnostic methods, the cause of hermaphroditism is not able to be determined in many children. This is referred to as complex or idiopathic hermaphroditism.

46, XX hermaphroditism

An individual with 46, XX hermaphroditism has two XX chromosomes and the ovaries of a woman, but has external genitalia that appear to be male.

This type is usually caused by the excessive exposure of the female fetus to male hormones in the womb. There is fusion of the labia, and the clitoris becomes enlarged to resemble a penis. Internally, the female sexual organs such as the uterus and fallopian tubes have a normal structure.

46, XY hermaphroditism

An individual with 46, XY hermaphroditism has one X and one Y chromosome, as is usually seen in males, but the external genitalia are either not completely formed, or resemble those of females. The internal sexual organs may be normal, incomplete or absent, depending on the specific case.

This type usually occurs because of an imbalance of female and male hormones. It may be caused by abnormal function of the testes, reduced ability to produce testosterone, or difficulty in utilizing the testosterone produced in the body.

True Gonadal Hermaphroditism

An individual with true gonadal hermaphroditism has both ovarian and testicular tissue, either in the same gonad (referred to as an ovotestis) or in one ovary and one testis. Some affected individuals have XX chromosomes, others have XY chromosomes, and others have a combination of both. Likewise, the external genitalia can vary in form, from male, or female, to ambiguous.

The cause of this type of hermaphroditism is not clear. Some animal studies have suggested a link to exposure to agricultural pesticides, although this has yet to be established in human studies.

Complex Hermaphroditism

Complex hermaphroditism involves other disorders of sexual development beyond simple 46, XX and 46, XY. These may include:

• 45, XO
• 47, XXY
• 47, XXX

This type is not usually associated with a discrepancy between the internal and external genitalia. Instead, the individual shows abnormal levels of sex hormones and incomplete sexual development.

AT NO TIME in known history have there been so many children who are asking to have a sex change or are being forced to have a sex change.  Even adults appear to be not only out of touch with their sexuality, but appear to have physical appearances that don’t seem to line up with their sex.  Men have become extremely feminized and women have become extremely masculine.  The only true explanation for this phenomenon must have a spiritual source.  Now we have identified that source.

We know that Scientists have been working to contribute to this issue for years.  They have created artificial wombs, three parent children, one parent children and children born without any natural parents at all.  They have added all manner of concoctions to our food that change our nature and corrupt our DNA.  

The Fashion industry has been working as long as I have been alive to encourage unisex and sexless identity.  The clothes they create seem ghastly to me.  

Of course media has been extremely influential in encouraging sexual confusion, as we have seen with GaGa’s Grammy performance.  Movies, television, video games, books, songs, music videos, all have been chuck full of sexual activity of all kinds, highly promoting same sex relationships.  

But probably the worst contributor to the issue of gender dysphoria has been our education system.  In the spirit of Unity and to avoid offending those who are dealing with this issue, our healthy children have not only been exposed to sexual perversion but they have been forced to participate in unnatural behaviors while being exposed to sexually explicit activities beyond their ability to process them properly. 

(Adult)Individuals seeking gender reassignment: marked increase in demand for services

To describe the pattern of referrals and characteristics of people aged over 18 seeking gender reassignment in Oxfordshire over a 6-year period (2011–2016).

A total of 153 individuals attended for assessment (of 162 referred); 97 (63.4%) were natal males and 56 (36.6%) were natal females. Mean age at referral was markedly different between the two groups, with females being younger. The number of referral significantly increased over the time period, by an average of 18% per year (95% CI 1.08–1.30). Eighty-seven patients sought transition from male to female, and 46 from female to male, while a smaller group (n = 13) had non-binary presentations. Twelve patients (7.8%) had autism spectrum disorder. Source

Gender dysphoria in adolescence

The number of adolescents contacting specialized gender identity services has risen considerably over the past decade across Europe and North America.8,9 No conclusions regarding the prevalence of GD in general or of GD/transsexualism specifically can be drawn based on these increases. Studies using short (one to three item) self-reports of gender identity and its variance suggest that 0.17%–1.3% of adolescents and young adults identify as transgender.5,10 A school-based survey eliciting gender experiences with scales commonly used at gender identity services suggested that 1.3% of 16–19 year olds had potentially clinically significant gender dysphoria.11   Source

The Egg has been associated with the serpent throughout history.  It is one of the most treasured symbols of the DRUIDs.  The Druids were dark magicians, heavily into spiritism and demonically influenced and empowered.

Adder/Serpent’s Egg or ‘Druid’s Glass’, by Lewis Spence

MAGIC ARTS IN CELTIC BRITAIN Lewis Spence (1946), ©Aquarian Press 1970

Could this be Pliny’s ‘Druid’s Glass’/serpent’s egg? Third millennium BC carved stone ball from Towie, Aberdeenshire

What has come to be regarded as another distinctive section of the Celtic magical tradition is associated with that mystic ornament which the Druids were wont to carry suspended from their necks as a mark of their office. The ‘Serpent’s Egg’is a so-called oval ball of crystal, said to be produced by the foam of a number of serpents meeting in congress. The elder Pliny, AD23-79, in writing of this amulet, tells that as the snakes twined together in a mass, they threw off these globes which were formed of their viscous slime. By their hissing the ball was cast into the air and if a Druid could catch it in a cloth before it fell, he might, if mounted upon a horse kept in readiness, succeed in making off with it. The snakes followed after him in venomous pursuit but, could he succeed in crossing a running stream before they made up with him, the prize would remain in his possession.

This magical amulet was known in Celtic tradition as the Glainnaider or Glain-nan-Druidhe, the Druid’s Glass. Pliny informs us that it was chiefly employed for counteracting incantations. He had himself seen a specimen. This act of the snakes, says Dr. Owen Pughe, was only performed at one season of the year—in summer—and on the occasion of a given moon.

Rhynie Man (7), carved Pictish stone depicting Druid? standing (its inscribed face now obliterated) at the entrance to The Square, Rhynie, Aberdeenshire. Eight stones of similar AD7-8thC carving found in Rhynie Pictish heartland

The Welsh bard Aneurin alludes to it in one of his minor poems as:The quick-glancing ball,
The adder’s bright precious produce
The ejaculation of serpents

He who possessed it was certain to gain any lawsuit in which he might engage and would be ‘well-received by kings’. Algernon Herbert (1838) was of opinion that the ‘serpents were none other than the Druids themselves, and that the process of manufacture was one of simple glass-blowing’.

The Druids, says Davies in his Mythology and Rites of the British Druids, ‘are called Nadredd, adders, by the Welsh bards.’ He believed that they owed this title to ‘their regenerative system of transmigration’which was symbolized by the serpent, which casts its skin and returns to a second youth. These ‘eggs’, he thought, were manufactured by the Druids when ‘they assembled at a stated time in the summer’ and he quotes Camden as saying that in many parts of Wales, Scotland and Cornwall, people retained superstitious ideas concerning the origin and virtues of these ‘eggs’, similar to those which Pliny recorded concerning them. This statement is interesting, as it reveals the continuance of a belief from Druidic times until those of recent popular memory.

So we see the egg and the serpent intricately entwined.  We also see that the MOST LEARNED MEN of their time, the same men who instituted Universities and Colleges, as well as Nunneries and Abbots, believed in spells and magick.  In TRUTH, their entire existence is predicated on such beliefs.  We also see that the egg and the serpent are symbols of the religious belief in transmigration…among others.

Please do not get yourself all worked up.  There is such a thing as the scientific method.  It consists of testing a theory by trial and error, and observing natural things with our senses.  BUT  “MODERN SCIENCE” is a religion.  It is SCIENTISM.  It requires belief without evidence.  It has been totally a production of MAGICIANS.  Invented to keep the masses under control.  By creating theories, symbols, equations, terminology that is not shared with the general public the public is kept at bay.  Under the false belief that there is knowledge to which they have no access and that is beyond their comprehension, the people are left with no option but to bow down to the WISER, MORE EDUCATED, MORE ILLUMINED OVERLORDS.  

Is Mathematics Invented or Discovered?

Derek Abbott Become a fan
Physicist and electronic engineer
Posted: 09/10/2013 12:27 pm EDT Updated: 11/10/2013 5:12 am EST

Mathematics is the language of science and has enabled mankind to make extraordinary technological advances. There is no question that the logic and order that underpins mathematics, has served us in describing the patterns and structure we find in nature.
The successes that have been achieved, from the mathematics of the cosmos down to electronic devices at the microscale, are significant. Einstein remarked,“How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought which is independent of experience, is so admirably appropriate to the objects of reality?”
Amongst mathematicians and scientists there is no consensus on this fascinating question. The various types of responses to Einstein’s conundrum include:
1) Math is innate. The reason mathematics is the natural language of science, is that the universe is underpinned by the same order. The structures of mathematics are intrinsic to nature. Moreover, if the universe disappeared tomorrow, our eternal mathematical truths would still exist. It is up to us to discover mathematics and its workings–this will then assist us in building models that will give us predictive power and understanding of the physical phenomena we seek to control. This rather romantic position is what I loosely call mathematical Platonism.
2) Math is a human construct. The only reason mathematics is admirably suited describing the physical world is that we invented itto do just that. It is a product of the human mind and we make mathematics up as we go along to suit our purposes.If the universe disappeared, there would be no mathematics in the same way that there would be no football, tennis, chess or any other set of rules with relational structures that we contrived. Mathematics is not discovered, it is invented.This is the non-Platonist position.
3) Math is not so successful. Those that marvel at the ubiquity of mathematical applications have perhaps been seduced by an overstatement of their successes. Analytical mathematical equations only approximately describe the real world, and even then only describe a limited subset of all the phenomena around us.We tend to focus on those physical problems for which we find a way to apply mathematics, so overemphasis on these successes is a form of “cherry picking.” This is the realist position.
4) Keep calm and carry on. What matters is that mathematics produces results. Save the hot air for philosophers. This is called the “shut up and calculate”position.
The debate over the fundamental nature of mathematics is by no means new, and has raged since the time of the Pythagoreans. Can we use our hindsight now to shed any light on the above four positions?
A recent development within the last century was the discovery of fractals. Beautiful complex patterns, such as the Mandelbrot set, can be generated from simple iterative equations. Mathematical Platonists eagerly point out that elegant fractal patterns are common in nature, and that mathematicians clearly discover rather than invent them. A counterargument is that any set of rules has emergent properties.For example, the rules of chess are clearly a human contrivance, yet they result in a set of elegant and sometimes surprising characteristics. There are infinite numbers of possible iterative equations one can possibly construct, and if we focus on the small subset that result in beautiful fractal patterns we have merely seduced ourselves.
Take the example of infinite monkeys on keyboards. It appears miraculous when an individual monkey types a Shakespeare sonnet. But when we see the whole context, we realize all the monkeys are merely typing gibberish. In a similar way, it is easy to be seduced into thinking that mathematics is miraculously innate if we are overly focused on its successes, without viewing the complete picture.
The non-Platonist view is that, first, all mathematical models are approximations of reality. Second, our models fail, they go through a process of revision, and we invent new mathematics as needed.Analytical mathematical expressions are a product of the human mind, tailored for the mind. Because of our limited brainpower we seek out compact elegant mathematical descriptions to make predictions. Those predictions are not guaranteed to be correct, and experimental verification is always required. What we have witnessed over the past few decades, as transistor sizes have shrunk, is that nice compact mathematical expressions for ultra small transistors are not possible.We could use highly cumbersome equations, but that isn’t the point of mathematics. So we resort to computer simulations using empirical models. And this is how much of cutting edge engineering is done these days. (Yes, through AI, the demon in the computer that the scientists themselves admit they don’t know how it works.  AI is just another word for demonic entities.)
The realist picture is simply an extension of this non-Platonist position, emphasizing that compact analytical mathematical expressions of the physical world around us are not as successful or ubiquitous as we’d like to believe.The picture that consistently emerges is that all mathematical models of the physical world break down at some point. Moreover, the types of problems addressed by elegant mathematical expressions are a rapidly shrinking subset of all the currently emerging scientific questions.
But why does this all matter? The “shut up and calculate” position tells us to not worry about such questions. (SO, you see, Science is a religion, that requires blind faith.)Our calculations come out the same, no matter what we personally believe; so keep calm and carry on.
I, for one, believe the question is important. My personal story is that I used to be a Platonist. I thought all mathematical forms were reified and waiting to be discovered. This meant that I philosophically struggled with taking limits to infinity, for example. I merely got used to it and accepted it under sufferance. During my undergraduate days, I had a moment of enlightenment and converted to non-Platonism. I felt a great burden lift from my shoulders. Whilst this never affected my specific calculations, I believe a non-Platonist position gives us greater freedom of thought. If we accept that mathematics is invented, rather than discovered, we can be more daring, ask deeper questions, and be motivated to create further change.
Remember how irrational numbers petrified the bejesus out of the Pythagoreans? Or the interminable time it took mankind to introduce a zero into arithmetic? Recall the centuries of debate that occurred over whether negative numbers are valid or not? Imagine where science and engineering would be today if this argument was resolved centuries earlier. It is the ravages of Platonist-like thinking that have held back progress. I argue that a non-Platonist position frees us from an intellectual straightjacket and accelerates progress.

The more we know… the more we know how little we know.  God’s ways are so far above ours. 

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:  Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:6-9

No matter how hard mankind tries, they will NEVER figure out the ways of GOD.  God created everything so finely tuned.  So specifically designed to work together for the good of mankind.  Though the devil and his gang work so hard to destroy it… GOD is well able to redeem it. 

Even those who live for Science have to admit, that it is all just hay and stubble.  Theories that cannot be proven.  It is a charade and a farce.  Mathematics and mathematical thinking underpins much of what is important and is the cornerstone of physics.  Physics and Quantum Mechanics only make sense in terms of mathematics.   Yet, so much of mathematics is not proven and in fact cannot be proven.  Don’t believe me… listen to the Scientists:

The Limits of Understanding

World Science Festival

Dec 14, 2014

This statement is false. Think about it, and it makes your head hurt. If it’s true, it’s false. If it’s false, it’s true. In 1931, Austrian logician Kurt Gödel shocked the worlds of mathematics and philosophy by establishing that such statements are far more than a quirky turn of language: he showed that there are mathematical truths which simply can’t be proven. In the decades since, thinkers have taken the brilliant Gödel’s result in a variety of directions–linking it to limits of human comprehension and the quest to recreate human thinking on a computer. This program explores Gödel’s discovery and examines the wider implications of his revolutionary finding. Participants include mathematician Gregory Chaitin, author Rebecca Goldstein, astrophysicist Mario Livio and artificial intelligence expert Marvin Minsky. This program is part of The Big Idea Series, made possible with support from the John Templeton Foundation. The World Science Festival gathers great minds in science and the arts to produce live and digital content that allows a broad general audience to engage with scientific discoveries. Our mission is to cultivate a general public informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future.

Who invented the zero?

UPDATED: AUG 22, 2018/ORIGINAL: JAN 22, 2014
HISTORY STAFF

It might seem like an obvious piece of any numerical system, but the zero is a surprisingly recent development in human history. In fact, this ubiquitous symbol for “nothing”didn’t even find its way to Europe until as late as the 12th century.Zero’s origins most likely date back to the “fertile crescent” of ancient Mesopotamia.Sumerian (Pagans) scribes used spaces to denote absences in number columns as early as 4,000 years ago, but the first recorded use of a zero-like symbol dates to sometime around the third century B.C. in ancient Babylon.The Babylonians (Pagans) employed a number system based around values of 60,and they developed a specific sign—two small wedges—to differentiate between magnitudes in the same way that modern decimal-based systems use zeros to distinguish between tenths, hundreds and thousandths. A similar type of symbol cropped up independently in the Americas sometime around 350 A.D., when the Mayans (Pagans) began using a zero marker in their calendars.

These early counting systems only saw the zero as a placeholder—not a number with its own unique value or properties. A full grasp of zero’s importance would not arrive until the seventh century A.D. in India (Pagans) .There, the mathematician Brahmagupta and others used small dots under numbers to show a zero placeholder, but they also viewed the zero as having a null value, called “sunya.” Brahmagupta was also the first to show that subtracting a number from itself results in zero. From India, the zero made its way to China (Pagans) and back to the Middle East, where it was taken up by the mathematician Mohammed ibn-Musa al-Khowarizmi around 773.It was al-Khowarizmi (Pagan) who first synthesized Indian arithmetic and showed how the zero could function in algebraic equations, and by the ninth century the zero had entered the Arabic numeral system in a form resembling the oval shape we use today.

I shared all that to demonstrate that MODERN SCIENCE which is based on MATHEMATICS is totally made up.  It is BS!  BS that they are constantly changing to suit their purposes.  Science is a religion with a goal to disprove GOD or at least to KILL all belief in GOD.

A Bill Gates coronavirus thing to worry about | Will Bunch Newsletter

Will Bunch | @will_bunch | wbunch@inquirer.com

Updated: May 19, 2020 – 12:45 PM

A Bill Gates ‘cure’ for schools post-coronavirus is already causing a bad reaction

You probably know the old saying that just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean there’s not somebody out to get you. Here’s a 2020 corollary: Just because Bill Gates isn’t the diabolical mastermind of a globalist scheme to create the coronavirus in order to implant a microchip inside your kid (OH, BUT HE IS) … doesn’t mean his actual ideas are good for America’s children

Make no mistake: The multi-billionaire Microsoft-founder-turned-philanthropist is having a moment with the arrival of COVID-19, and not just in the fever dreams of right-wing conspiracy theorists. In the reality-based world, Gates— who had warned for years about pandemic preparedness — and his family foundation have pledged $250 million toward developing a vaccine.  (PHONEY PHILANTHROPY).

That’s admirable, but surprisingly little attention has been paid to another coronavirus-related Gates project that could have lasting – and, arguably, detrimental – consequences for your children long after the virus is crushed. In New York State, where the software icon and his Gates Foundation have long been active in so-called education reform (RED FLAG), Gov. Andrew Cuomo tasked the philanthropy with a scheme to “re-imagine education” after COVID-19 that presumably would involve more laptops and fewer classrooms.

“The old model of everybody goes and sits in a classroom and the teacher is in front of that classroom, and teaches that class, and you do that all across the city, all across the state, all these buildings, all these physical classrooms — why with all the technology you have?” Cuomo – whose un-Trump-like ability to display empathy has caused his approval to soar even though his initial response to coronavirus was poor – said earlier this month in partnering with the Gates Foundation.

Seriously?

New York and pretty much all of the nation’s schools have gone to remote computerized learning for the duration of the crisis and I’m not really sure who is begging to keep doing this. Home-based online classes have created headaches both for parents suddenly tasked with home-schooling and working-from-home at the same time, but also for “essential workers” lacking child-care. It’s exposed the digital divide between rich and poor kids. And here in Philadelphia, attendance has plummeted from 92 percent to 57 percent. This is a model?

What’s more, critics rightly note that the Gates Foundation has over the course of the 21st century spent billions of dollars on various education schemes with little or nothing to show for it. (doesn’t anybody wonder how if he was actually donating all the money to all the things they claim he is, his personal wealth has skyrocketed!?  Are people that gullible?)  Maybe that’s because – similar to Gates’ new mission as tasked by Cuomo – its ideas tend to be focused heavily on data and the increased use of standardized testing, (data is what feeds AI, it is money in the bank. and testing produces numbers, measurable progress… Numbers the twinkle in Bill’s eyes.  They only thing he cares about.) with little feel for the humanity of a classroom, the soul outside of the machine.

Now, when Americans are rightly worried about alienated and unconnected, or atomized, kids in a era of school shootings, suicide and opioid abuse, and when the nation seems more angry and anti-social than any time in recent memory, we want kids glued to a laptop instead of inside a classroom where they can learn to get along with each other? Critics are pouncing, and rightfully so.

“It’s clear students, at least, understand much of what our political leaders can’t grasp about public education,” New York City teacher Annie Abrams wrote in The New Republic. “My students miss the dynamism and zaniness that define a classroom of adolescents, and they miss momentary escape from their defining roles at home.”

One of Cuomo’s home-state newspapers, the Syracuse Journal, editorialized that children “are increasingly sad, unmotivated and glued to one screen or another. Without support from teachers and counselors, stressed-out parents are struggling to keep it together.” Indeed, the governor backed away from the tone of his initial comments and promised to involve more teachers and parents in envisioning the future.
But the virus and the accompanying economic depression clearly show America at a crossroads. The crisis is an opportunity to make our society more equitable and fair, but we’ll have to fight the disturbing tendency to seek solutions from the billionaire capitalist tech barons who caused such a mess in the first place. The writer Naomi Klein is alarmed at what she calls “a Pandemic Shock Doctrine” in which COVID-19 becomes “a living laboratory for a permanent — and highly profitable — no-touch future.” In addition to Gates, Cuomo wants billionaires Eric Schmitt of Google and Mike Bloomberg to also re-imagine his state’s future.

 

Let’s not do that. Whenever it’s safe for kids to return to school, let’s imagine a future where teachers and students get the support they need to work together, not as distant atoms. As John Lennon sang, it’s easy if you try.

It seems as our world became smaller due to connectivity (international travel, social media, international commerce), science has focused in on the smallest particles.  Now it seems that we have become the focus isolated, like cell on a microscope.  Every aspect of our lives zoomed in for examination.  Every bit of data fed to AI. We’ve been cutoff from the whole.  That is where the elite want us.  They say that they want to unite us.  To bring us into Singularity.  But really, they want to separate us.  Why?  Because that makes us more vulnerable, easier to fool, easier to conquer.  If you don’t believe me… think about it.  They have us wearing masks, distancing from each other, cutoff from family and friends, unable to go to work or out for an evening, or even to get fresh air and exercise.  This is by their design.  This does not promote unity, brotherhood, love and acceptance.  It produces, fear, suspicion, judgement, spying, anger, distrust, resentments and hatred.  They told us it was temporary.  Just to stop the spread.  But, in truth, they have no intention of ever letting us return to life as we knew it.

Do you wonder why?

TO this day, everything that MODERN SCIENCE does is in the attempt to PROVE that there is NO GOD, or that WE DON’T NEED GOD, OR THAT WE ARE GOD, OR THAT ALIEN GODS Created Us.  So much so that when real science (testing, and observation) proves or supports the existence of GOD or the validity of the Bible…they suppress it in anyway necessary.  Even going so far as to KILL any Scientists, Doctors, Technicians, Archeologists, etc…that insist on revealing the TRUTH.

Now that modern science has been forced to admit that all evidence points to intelligent design and therefore there must be a designer, they have changed their tune, but not to accept GOD, but to prove other theories as an explanation.  Which leads us to the deception of “SPACE”  A fantasy they have been seriously and vigorously promoting for decades.  One that has been used quite successfully throughout history all the way from the most ancient civilizations to our modern world.

THE “ANCIENT ASTRONAUT” LIE: THE SHOCKING ORIGIN OF THE “INTELLIGENT DESIGN” THEORY
Link 

By Dr. Scott Johnson | December 28, 2007

This is a special study I felt convicted to do after viewing a 27 minute internet video put out by the Raelian cult. This video does one of the most through jobs of condensing most of the coming “New Age/New World Order” lies that I have ever witnessed. Most of these lies seem so appealing to the unsaved, for the same reason Eve was seduced by the serpent in the Garden of Eden: Because they promise: “Ye shall be as gods”. If anyone buys into this then all accountability to a Holy God goes out the window & they feel they can live anyway they want. Satan is still “The most subtle best of the field” and he has not changed his tactics as you will see when you listen to this audio. In this teaching I will be playing the sound from this video and stopping to comment along the way so I can ultimately present a full rebuttal to this most egregious heresy. This “Ancient Astronaut” theory is going to unfortunately take many people to hell and is going to be one of the cornerstones of the grand deception the Antichrist will perpetrate.

The Naked Truth About a UFO Religion Whose Worshippers Believe in ‘Those Who Came From The Sky’

BY MATTHEW HENDLEY ON 1/22/20 AT 2:05 PM EST

U.S.RELIGIONUFO

This story is being co-published with Religion Unplugged

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The group congregated silently around the doors leading into the ballroom. All eyes looked toward the floor. We were 12 hours into the fast from food, talking, technology, sex and eye contact.

Once the doors opened, a tranquil flood of meditative music poured from the ballroom. The Raelians and I processed in, one by one, with six Raelian guides on either side. Dressed in long white clothing from head to toe, each guide smiled, their faces lit by candles in their palms.

It was only 8 a.m. – the first day at the Happiness Academy.

Intelligent Design for Atheists

A few months before boarding the nine-hour bus to the Raelians’ annual North American seminar in Buffalo, I came across an online posting that read, “Intelligent Design for Atheists: Extraterrestrials Created All Life On Earth” – a free lecture in Jersey City, N.J.

After a few visits to Jersey City to meet with a local Raelian organizer named Houari, he began to reveal the philosophy behind this science-loving UFO religion. A shorter man in his late 30’s with a stocky build and slicked back hair, Houari greeted me with enthusiasm.

His military green tee boasted a bright yellow logo, the official emblem of the Raelian Movement: the Star of David, intertwined with the swastika.

“Don’t worry,” he said. “It has nothing to do with Jews or Nazis.”

The star points upward and downward, representing infinity, he said. And the swastika? It represents time, which is cyclic – it never ends, it only changes. This is the logo that Rael, the founder of the movement, saw on the spacecraft in his first UFO encounter in France.

Houari laid out the basics. There is no “God,” he said — but only the “Elohim.“

According to Raelian teaching, the true translation of Elohim is “those who came from the sky.” The Elohim are a group of extraterrestrial scientists who intelligently designed the human race.

In 1973, then 27-year-old French sports car journalist Claude Vorhilon had an encounter with one of these extraterrestrial beings that changed the trajectory of his life. “Listen to me carefully,” said Yahweh, the alien, to Claude, who recalled this encounter in his book  Intelligent Design.

“You will tell all human beings about this meeting, but you will tell them the truth about what they are, and about what we are,” the extraterrestrial said. Claude was given the name “Rael” and started spreading the message.

In 1975, Rael claims to have been taken to the planet of the Elohim, where it was revealed to him that Yahweh is his biological father and that Jesus is his half-brother. Years later, followers in Asia began to refer to him as the Maitreya, which, in the Buddhist faith, is the name of the promised one who will be the successor of the Buddha.

The Raelians have a particular mission on earth: create an “embassy” for the Elohim so that, when these space scientists return, they have a place to get to work in order to offer guidance for the advancement of humankind.

Decades later, at 73 years old, Rael is still the face of one of the most controversial, perplexing, and fascinating UFO religions in the world which claims over 90,000 members in 90 countries — though skeptics suspect the number to be closer to 20,000.

It was a fascinating story. But a religion? To reel in a bunch of atheists, this Rael must be pretty convincing.

“He was different. He was very impressive,” Houari said. “You could tell something impacted him that strongly for him to say ‘this is how it is and how it should be.'”

Rael, the tan-skinned, white robe-wearing messenger speaks slowly and intentionally, never lacking in charisma or authority. He knows how to work a crowd.

“Rael fits the perfect modern-day criteria of how you would act if someone would say, ‘I need you to relay this message to humanity, go ahead and do it,'” Houari said.

Susan J. Palmer, a religion sociologist, paints a conflicting picture of Rael, however.

“He’s not a very well educated person and he doesn’t write very well either,” Palmer said of Rael. “But he certainly has leadership qualities. He’s very intense and enthusiastic, and actually very creative.”

Palmer is the author of 12 books on new religious movements, including Aliens Adored: Rael’s UFO Religion. Having spent 15 years observing and writing about the Raelians, many consider her an expert on the movement.

Though a gentle spirit, Rael is pretty ruthless in kicking out dissidents and demarking them, Palmer said.

“He’s kind of an interesting paradox, it’s kind of hard to figure him out,” she said.

Houari passed along the contact of his guide, Kasyo Perrier, a level four Raelian. The scale, based on each member’s leadership and organizational involvement, goes up to six – with level five Raelians serving as bishops. Rael, the messenger of the Elohim, sits alone at level six.

The Happiness Academy

The Raelians are all over the internet. There is ample information about their free love philosophy, the sensationalized press coverage of their meetings and their human cloning organization, Clonaid. In 2002, Raelians claimed they had cloned the first human baby, “Eve,” causing an international media stir.

There was much to ask Kasyo, the Raelian guide from France working as a massage therapist in Boston.

“What would you say to someone who is, maybe, let’s say, concerned about some of the Raelian beliefs or practices?” I awkwardly asked Kasyo.

“What, about the sex cult?” she asked.

I shrugged, blushing with a nervous laugh.

“We’re here to be happy. We try to save humanity if it can be saved, in a way that is bringing love and peace,” she said. “The sex cult is one of the images, because we’re all about freedom. The journalists are focused on one thing: ‘oh freedom, so they have orgies.‘”

“If you come to Happiness Academy you’ll see for yourself,” she said. “It’s not like that at all.”

Nine hours later, I was in Buffalo for the 2019 North American Happiness Academy.

The Millennium Buffalo Hotel was warm and welcoming on a rainy Sunday night in upstate New York. There were people moving quickly inside the hotel.

“Is this the way to Happiness Academy?”

“Oui, oui, come,” they said, leading into a room with more old people and more French-Canadian accents.

Kasyo was the first to greet me inside with a big hug and guided me to the registration table.

She presented me to those in the room: “We have a spy among us!” she said.

After an impromptu dance party to “Celebrate” by Kool and the Gang, the Raelians settled in for the first teaching from Rael. He would not be joining the seminar in person. His teachings would be played on a projector screen.

About 100 Raelians attended the seminar from all over — Florida, Utah, Minnesota, and a few foreign countries. Most were Canadian, however.

“What should I expect this week?” I asked.

“Love and happiness,” one Raelian replied.

After the opening ceremonies, the Raelians departed to their rooms, starting a 24-hour fast. I sneaked across the street to the local Mighty Taco. I hadn’t eaten all day—it would have to be a 23-hour fast for me.

Morning: Nude Dancing and Meditation

Houari, a local Raelian organizer from Jersey City, NJMATTEW HENDLEY/RELIGION UNPLUGGED

The entrance into the ballroom with the Raelian guides was a splash of cold water in the face.

The group sat relaxed in their seats in the low-lit ballroom, being eased into calm by the trance-like melody that filtering out of the speakers. And then, out of the corner of the room came Jasmin, the South Korean guide. She was nude — except for a skin-color undergarment and a translucent, netted fabric that she draped over her body.

She performed an interpretive dance as the crowd watched in silence.

Later on, I asked Susan J. Palmer if this was just your run-of-the-mill morning with the Raelians.

“Really?” she said, after hearing about the nude dancing scenario. “No, I’ve never seen anything like that. But I believe it.”

Jasmin later admitted that the routine was an unusual undertaking for her.

“That is the first time I’ve done anything like that,” she said. “I was very nervous.”

Though the group seems to lack the qualifications of a “sex cult,” nudity is nothing new in the Raelian movement. Rael even initiated the annual “Go Topless” protest, a street demonstration that takes place in several cities across the country on or around Aug. 26, Women’s Equality Day. Kasyo Perrier, the guide from Boston, is the organizer and leader of NYC’s Go Topless parade.

“As long as men can go topless,” Rael said, “Women should have the same constitutional right or men should also be forced to wear something that hides their chests.”

The next activity was a series of sound meditations led by Thomas Kaenzig, a Raelian bishop from Switzerland with a ponytail and pointy sideburns, resembling a character from “Star Trek.” He’s the National Guide for the U.S. Raelian Movement. The meditations are quite peaceful – sit with posture, relax, and feel the sound vibrations running through the body.

“Through these sounds we can basically masturbate the brain,” Thomas explained, “and it releases many, many chemicals and we feel really wonderful.“

The Raelians sure have a peculiar way of explaining things.

By drinking lots of water, Raelian bishop Nicole Bertrand explained, we would be able to “pee out our hatred,” leaving room for only “love and peace.”

Thomas then beckoned all Happiness Academy first-timers to introduce themselves in front of the entire seminar, during which I explained that I was a journalist writing for Religion Unplugged and that I was “very happy to be here.”

There was one other non-Raelian at the Happiness Academy: Esteban Gonzales, a laid-back and cautious individual who introduced himself as a 24-year-old chemical engineer from New Jersey.

Esteban didn’t seem that into it — he wasn’t participating in the walking meditations, which had the Raelians slowly swaying side to side while whispering, “I am love, I am peace.”

“So what do you think about all this?” I whispered to Esteban, approaching him as he sat towards the back row of the audience.

“It’s pretty different,” he said.

It would be interesting to hear how he ended up here, but it was time to hear the messages again from a virtual Rael. I signaled to Esteban that we would chat later.

Rael’s teachings were from this past year’s Asia Happiness Academy in Okinawa, Japan. If the particular teachings could be summed up in a single word, it would be, “Illusion!“

The “Maitreya” explained how everything is an illusion: religion, nationality, color, gender — all an illusion. Even democracy is an illusion, because it “changes nothing.”

“Education is also an illusion,” Rael said.

He spouted some questionable statistics. According to Rael, 80 percent of billionaires never went to university, and 80 percent of homeless people hold a university degree. But well-known studies did not seem to line up with Rael’s findings: 84 percent of billionaires held a university degree, according to Forbes’ 2017 study.

Evening: Breaking the Fast

After a long afternoon of individual silence and contemplation, the Raelians gathered back at the same door leading into the ballroom. This time, everyone was dolled up and ready to party. But the fast wasn’t quite complete.

When the doors to the ballroom opened, Kasyo took me by the hand to a table where I sat among eight Raelians. Each plate had an apple, and Thomas led the seminar in one final meditation before the meal.

“This is a very privileged moment,” he said, in his gentle Swiss cadence, “especially with the constant stimulation, to be able to be cut off for 24 hours.”

We were set to break our fast together, but not so fast – “one sense at a time,” he said.

“Take the apple on your plate,” Thomas said, “Don’t eat it right now, but just look at it first. Close your eyes and bring the apple close to your nose. Don’t bite, just smell. As if it will be the first time you’ve smelled an apple.”

The apple did smell quite delicious – an intense, green-apple Jolly Rancher aroma. You know, like an apple.

“We’ll connect the next sense of taste. Very slowly, bring the apple to your mouth,” he said. “But you don’t bite the apple, you just use your tongue, and you lick the apple very softly. Feel the pattern of this apple. And as you lick this apple, you can feel the saliva coming. Take your time, like when you make love – make it slowly. Enjoy every moment.”

Thomas beckoned us to keep our eyes closed, and perhaps for good reason — watching people make out with an apple is not something you forget.

“Now, very slowly, you can take that first bite into this apple,” he said.

The crunch of apples broke the silence of the room.

“You’re not going to swallow,” he said. “Don’t swallow it now, let it float around. Enjoy it as if it was your first time eating an apple. Then you chew it very slowly and the juice comes out. And you enjoy it.”

Once the fast was broken, the Raelians began to reconnect with each other. We held hands with each other, rubbing our fingers along the hands of those next to us, reinvigorating our sense of touch. Finally, it was time to eat.

Vegan stir fry, hummus, and a tray of veggies were on the menu tonight at Le Restaurant de Rael. Kasyo, who was sitting next to me, was not eating.

“I’m continuing the fast,” she said.

“How long will you go?”

“I am going to try for, maybe three days or so. I need it,” she said.

I was impressed.

Reasons for Becoming Raelian

The Raelians were very candid in their conversations over dinner. Several of the Raelians explained how they found the movement, many of them revealing that they were once Roman Catholic. Jasmin, the South Korean guide, said that she had abandoned Catholicism due to the Church’s teachings on sexuality.

In “Aliens Adored,” Susan J. Palmer discovered that many guides she interviewed said that they were initially “attracted to Rael’s philosophy because it bridged the gap between the Catholic otherworldly faith they knew as children and the pragmatic, scientific worldview they espoused as adults.”

In 1998, Rael, at the request of the Elohim, created the Order of Rael’s Angels – an order exclusively for women that prepared them to “receive the extraterrestrials when they landed, to act as hostesses, companions, and lovers to the alien visitors.”

Palmer observed that this order seemed to attract many young ex-Catholic women. The Order of Rael’s Angels “struck a familiar chord, evoking childhood memories of nuns and the romance and mystery of the cloister,” Palmer wrote.

One of Palmer’s subjects explained: “When I was young, I was raised as a Catholic and would have given my life for Jesus. When I heard about the Elohim, I made the decision to follow them and give my life for them, if necessary.”

So, what then, attracted Esteban, the 24-year-old chemical engineer who never had much of a religious background?

“This stuff just seems, you know – it just hit home,” Esteban said, after spending the rest of the week at the Happiness Academy. “The more I read into it, to me it’s right up my alley, being in the field of science and all.“

“I don’t know how you felt as a journalist, maybe not without that exposure to the field. What they say just makes sense.” he said.

I discovered that both Esteban and I were introduced to the movement through our Raelian friend, Houari, in Jersey City.

“I don’t know why this one event stood out to me,” Esteban said. “I wanted to meet up with different people who had different ideas. I had these thoughts in my head, but I never found a group of people that, you know, had the same thoughts – until now.”

Though he isn’t quite sure about officially joining the movement, he was impressed with Rael.

“He’s a genuine person speaking from his own experience,” Esteban said. “What he says most of the time is very relatable, and I think a lot of people unfortunately get caught up in this reality that we are born into… people don’t really question much else.”

Parting Ways with the Raelians

People began withdrawing for the night, though a few Raelians were still pounding on bongos in the ballroom. Thomas and I stepped into the hallway for an interview. He’s been a Raelian for 25 years now, but was raised in a Swiss home to an atheist father and Protestant mother. While still in Switzerland, he encountered the messages.

“I read the first two books in one night,” Thomas said. “There was no convincing. It just made sense. You see, we discover we’re Raelians, we don’t become – we’ve always been.”

Thomas said that Rael “speaks like only a prophet can speak,” and his unfiltered, often politically incorrect nature is what the world needs more of.

“Everyone is always afraid of offending somebody, but we should be able to laugh at everything,” he said. “We need people who are offensive.”

While many view Go Topless and Swastika Rehabilitation Day or even protesting the national anthem as offensive, Thomas believes these and other Raelian actions are necessary to awaken humanity.

I asked to talk briefly about Baby Eve. Thomas smiled, proceeding forth with a nod as he collected his thoughts.

“In the beginning, after Dolly the Sheep, it was a philosophical project,” he said. “There were no cloning operations. But then came a lot of big press coverage. In 1999, Dr. Brigitte Boisselier, a Raelian, came to Rael and said ‘I want to make this more than a philosophical idea.‘”

Rael gave her the go-ahead, Thomas explained, but ensured that it’s not a Raelian company.

“The Raelian movement is supportive of the cloning technology, because it is the first step toward eternal life – not the mystical eternal life, but the scientific eternal life,” he said.

As far as cloning operations go, however, Rael was never a part of it.

“Don’t ask the Raelians,” he said.

So does Thomas believe that the company actually cloned the first human?

“Yes,” he said. “I trust Brigitte more than I trust anybody in the media. People say ‘why doesn’t she give more proof and information?’ Well, look at the legal consequences for her.”

Reproductive and therapuetic human cloning is a “crime against the human species” in France, where Boisselier is from, is punishable by up to 30 years in prison, and applies to French citizens worldwide regardless of where the cloning is performed.

According to Thomas, it’s only a matter of time before we meet Eve.

“Once there’s no longer a legal threat for people involved with it, once we can have a rational discussion about it, it’s just a matter of time,” he said.

It was time for me to head back to New York City.

“Leaving so soon?” asked Daniel Turcotte, a tall, dominatingly tender French Canadian, as he gave a friendly shoulder massage. Daniel is the North American Continental Guide and Rael’s assistant for the Elohim Embassy Project.

“You’ll miss all the good parts,” he said with a smile and a wink.

The Future of the Movement

The next move for the Raelians is not always clear cut.

“The thing is, I’ve found from experience that you can’t predict what happens with new religions,” Palmer said. “Every time I predict, I’m almost always wrong. You never what’s going to happen.”

Rael himself has predicted that the Elohim will return in the near future, as early as 2035.

“If they don’t come, there might be a problem,” Susan J. Palmer said. “They’ll have to revise their apocalyptic scenario.”

If Rael dies, she said, there may be a struggle over leadership.

“It will be an unusual funeral,” she said. “But I did have a talk with Rael once where he said that he is immortal.”

To the Raelians, though, a human death does not necessarily mean that Rael is mortal, Palmer said.

“His body could die here and he is immortal with his other body on another planet,” she said.

If truth is often stranger than science fiction, then UFO religions like the Raelian Movement can often be “even stranger than science fiction,” Palmer said in her book on the Raelians.

In the meantime, the Raelian Movement will continue their plans to construct an embassy for the Elohim, which will be a physical building “on an extraterritorial plot of land just like other countries have embassies in host countries,” Thomas explained.

“We are in contact with various countries in that regard,” he said. “The embassy is a sign, showing that humanity is ready to welcome our creators, so the return of the Elohim is in humanity’s hands.”

Title:  PRESIDENT BUSH DECEIVING GENUINE CHRISTIANS AGAIN — THIS TIME, HE IS PUSHING FOR THE TEACHING OF “INTELLIGENT DESIGN” ALONSIDE EVOLUTION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Subtitle: “Intelligent Design” is NOT Biblical, but his its original roots in 19th Century Deism; in the New Age Movement starting in the mid-1990’s; and currently in pseudo science and mathematics which disbelieves both Darwinism and Biblical Creationism. Yet, undiscerning Christians are believing that “Intelligent Design” is Christian!

The Bible says Jesus created the universe (John 1:1-4) and that He did so in 6 literal days (Genesis 1:1-31 – 2:2).

Any belief other than this Biblical account serves the purposes of the “Evil One”. Do not be deceived!

The New World Order is coming! Are you ready? Once you understand what this New World Order really is, and how it is being gradually implemented, you will be able to see it progressing in your daily news!!

Learn how to protect yourself, your loved ones!

Stand by for insights so startling you will never look at the news the same way again.

INTRODUCTION

Satan is an incredible deceiver of mankind. He deceived Eve in the Garden of Eden, convincing her that she would be like the gods, knowing good and evil if she would just partake of the forbidden fruit, and convincing her that God really did not mean what He said when He told her she would die if she ate of the fruit.

Satan is telling these (same) two lies on a grand scale today in the New Age Movement, as tens of millions of people are striving mightily to “achieve their godhood” through prescribed daily rituals and meditations. The New Age Movement also teaches Reincarnation, which is the Deceiver’s slick attempt to persuade people that they really never die, but come back in a different human body almost endlessly.

The New Age Movement also spawned a very big lie in the mid-1990’s when her authors suddenly began teaching a new version of creation. Instead of teaching Evolution, their authors suddenly began to acknowledge that a “design” was too evident in science and Nature to be ignored; therefore, since a design presupposes a “designer”, New Age authors began to teach an “Interventionist Creation“, where Aliens came to Earth many millions of years ago, created Earth as we see it here, including humans, and then left. The natural processes of Evolution and Natural Selection then completed the task of creating the world as we see it today, operating according to the scientific laws which the Aliens had originally set in motion.

Today, that New Age theory that super-intelligent Aliens intervened in world history at just the right time to create the world as we know it today has emerged with a new name and with pseudo-science and mathematics to make the concept believable; the term for this “new” theory is “Intelligent Design”.

Furthermore, political pressure from key leaders across this land has begun promoting “Intelligent Design” as curricula to be taught along with Evolution in Public Schools. Recently, President Bush joined this political chorus. Let us begin our study at this point.

NEWS BRIEF: “Bush: Schools Should Teach ‘Intelligent Design’ Alongside Evolution”, Fox News, August 01, 2005

(So, they can teach another lie to justify their first lie, but they cannot teach biblical creation.)

“WASHINGTON — President Bush said Monday he believes schools should discuss “intelligent design” alongside evolution when teaching students about the creation of life … Bush declined to go into detail on his personal views of the origin of life. But he said students should learn about both ideas … ‘I think that part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought’….”  (as long as they don’t teach the TRUTH.)

“The theory of intelligent design says life on earth is too complex to have developed through evolution, implying that a higher power must have had a hand in creation. Christian conservatives — a substantial part of Bush’s voting base — have been pushing for the teaching of intelligent design in pubic schools.”

If Christian conservatives are backing President Bush on the teaching of “Intelligent Design”, does that mean this concept is Biblical?

If political figures — which have heretofore pushed Evolution in Public Schools — are now willing to teach that the universe was created by a “higher power“, does that mean this concept is Biblical? Note that Freemasons require a belief in a “Higher Power” (God) from all their members. Their “higher power” is also called God, The Almighty, Providence, and Grand Architect of the Universe — but never “Jesus”.

Should genuinely saved Christians rush to support this “Intelligent Design” concept? Or is the Christian community once again being cleverly deceived?

INTELLIGENT DESIGN — BIBLICAL OR HUMANISTIC?

Let us now begin our study. What is “Intelligent Design”?

NEWS BRIEF: “What is Intelligent Design?”, Access Research Network

“Design theory—also called design or the design argument—is the view that nature shows tangible signs of having been designed by a preexisting intelligence. It has been around, in one form or another, since the time of ancient Greece. The most famous version of the design argument can be found in the work of theologian William Paley, who in 1802 proposed his ‘watchmaker’ thesis … Just as a watch’s parts are all perfectly adapted for the purpose of telling time, the parts of an eye are all perfectly adapted for the purpose of seeing. In each case, Paley argued, we discern the marks of an intelligent designer.”

“Moreover, Paley and other ‘natural theologians’ tried to reason from the facts of nature to the existence of a wise and benevolent God. All of these things made design an easy target for Charles Darwin when he proposed his theory of evolution. Whereas Paley saw a finely-balanced world attesting to a kind and just God, Darwin pointed to nature’s imperfections and brutishness … Following the triumph of Darwin’s theory, design theory was all but banished from biology. Since the 1980s, however, advances in biology have convinced a new generation of scholars that Darwin’s theory was inadequate to account for the sheer complexity of living things. These scholars—chemists, biologists, mathematicians and philosophers of science—began to reconsider design theory. They formulated a new view of design that avoids the pitfalls of previous versions. Called intelligent design (ID) … this new approach is more modest than its predecessors. Rather than trying to infer God’s existence or character from the natural world, it simply claims “that intelligent causes are necessary to explain the complex, information-rich structures of biology and that these causes are empirically detectable.”

Note that the creators of Intelligent Design did not attempt to “infer God’s existence or character” from their observations of an incredibly complex world — a world which they acknowledge could not have possibly come into existence on its own, through limitless accidents over billions of years. The God of the Bible intended that man would come to a knowledge of Him, His Son, and His Gospel through observations they make in Nature. Therefore, it is unbiblical to the highest degree to recognize that a super-intelligent creator had to have designed this world, but stop short of identifying Him as Jesus (John 1:1-14 and Romans 1:18-25).

On this point alone, Intelligent Design is shown to be unbiblical and, therefore, unworthy to be supported by genuine Christians.

NEWS BRIEF: “Intelligent Design”, The Skeptic’s Dictionary

“…the odds against DNA assembling by chance are 10×40,000 to one [according to Fred Hoyle, Evolution from Space,1981] …. Intelligent design (ID) refers to the theory that intelligent causes are responsible for the origin of the universe and of life in all its diversity. Advocates of ID maintain that their theory is scientific and provides empirical proof for the existence of God or superintelligent aliens. They believe that design is empirically detectable in nature and in living systems. They claim that intelligent design should be taught in the science classroom because it is an alternative to the scientific theory of natural selection.”

Note that I.D. supporters admit that “super intelligent aliens” could have created this world.

This next segment we wish to quote brings us into direct contact with a segment of Intelligent Design supporters who believe that they know who the Creator is.

“God could have designed the universe to produce life by random events following laws of nature. God could have created superintelligent aliens who are experimenting with natural selection. Superintelligent aliens could have evolved by natural selection and then introduced the process on our planet.” (Ibid.)

Indeed, a number of I.D. proponents believe that a race of super-intelligent aliens visited Earth in the primordial past to create the world as we know it, or at least to create life in a simple form, depending upon the “forces of Evolution” to perfect their original creation after they left. At this point, I.D. becomes merely an extension of the earlier New Age teaching that very intelligent Aliens visited Earth many years ago, and did create the world as we know it today.

NEWS BRIEF: “MASTER PLANNED: Why intelligent design isn’t”, by H. Allen Orr, The New Yorker, Issue of 2005-05-30

“In the past few years, college students across the country have formed Intelligent Design and Evolution Awareness chapters … So just what is this movement? First of all, intelligent design is not what people often assume it is. For one thing, I.D. is not Biblical literalism. Unlike earlier generations of creationists … proponents of intelligent design do not believe that the universe was created in six days, that Earth is ten thousand years old, or that the fossil record was deposited during Noah’s flood. (Indeed, they shun the label “creationism” altogether.” (Emphasis added)

This reality should be enough to persuade any Fundamental, Bible-believing Christian that Intelligent Design is not Scriptural and should, therefore, not be supported by any Christians. Yet, the Fox News article, quoted above, clearly states that Conservative Christians are pushing President Bush hard to support Intelligent Design, which he clearly has now done. Furthermore, in searching for information on this theory, I noted that a number of organizations whose name sounds so very Christian are supporting I.D.

Let us now return to this New Yorker article to gain even more insight.

“Nor does I.D. flatly reject evolution: adherents freely admit that some evolutionary change occurred during the history of life on Earth. Although the movement is loosely allied with, and heavily funded by, various conservative Christian groups—and although I.D. plainly maintains that life was created—it is generally silent about the identity of the creator.” (Ibid.)

Did you catch the pertinent facts in this paragraph?

* “Nor does I.D. flatly reject evolution: adherents freely admit that some evolutionary change occurred…” The Bible rejects Evolution and ascribes all creation in specific moments of time to an Omniscient, Omnipotent God.

* “… it is generally silent about the identity of the creator” — No Bible-believing Christian can remain silent about the identity of the Creator — His Name is Jesus the Christ — “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God …. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” (John 1:1, 3)

Then, just to make sure that the reader understood that the Word was Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit inspired John to write, in verse 14: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”

When a person refuses to identify the Creator, that person is opening a door which Satan will immediately walk through to create discord, distrust, and misinformation. What did our Skull & Bones President refuse to do, in the article above, where he urged that Intelligent Design be taught? He refused to reveal his personal belief as to who the Creator might be. Since President Bush is Skull & Bones, a Masonically-based secret society, he likely believes that the Creator is the Supreme Architect of the Universe, that Force which has ever been present in the universe. Masons will use the term, “God” to describe this Supreme Architect of the Universe, but they know they are not speaking of the God as taught in the Holy Bible.

Christian author, Ken Ham, will speak later about this subject of identifying the Creator, and how eternally important it is to admit Who the Creator is.

Now, this article gets very pointedly to the main argument of I.D.

“The movement’s main positive claim is that there are things in the world, most notably life, that cannot be accounted for by known natural causes and show features that, in any other context, we would attribute to intelligence. Living organisms are too complex to be explained by any natural—or, more precisely, by any mindless—process. Instead, the design inherent in organisms can be accounted for only by invoking a designer, and one who is very, very smart.” (Ibid.)

While this concept places the movement into direct conflict with Darwinism, it still does not conform to Christian, Biblical doctrine, either. It is a middle “lukewarm” road — neither Darwinism nor Christian.

Now, let us examine the arguments by Ken Ham, author of many Creationist books and videos we carry in our Bookstore, and founder of “Answers In Genesis”.

NEWS BRIEF: “AiG’s views on the Intelligent Design Movement”, by Carl Wieland, Answers In Genesis, 30 August 2002

Let us go immediately to that portion of Mr. Ham’s dissertation where he admits that the Intelligent Design leaves open the possibility that Aliens created this world.

“The movement’s apparent refusal to identify the hypothetical designer with the Biblical God (some IDers have pointed out that the design work they postulate could even have been performed by aliens) is seen as a prudent necessity to keep the argument on philosophically ‘neutral’ ground, and thus avoid a lot of anti-Christian hostility.”

This issue is very strong, for Hollywood has been intensely intent since World War II to keep the subject of Aliens and UFO’s alive and strongly in the public consciousness. A shockingly high percentage of Americans do believe in Aliens and UFO’s with many believing that they are going to intervene again in human affairs. To understand the belief that aliens are benevolent, that they have intervened in world history already and that they are preparing soon to intervene again — also benevolently — read NEWS1912, “When UFO’s Arrive”.

Now, let us go back to this article from “Answers In Genesis” for more information as to what Intelligent Design is and why it is not Biblical. Please note that I.D. advocates look at Darwinism (also called “Naturalism”) as their mortal enemy; but, then they turn around to accept much of the Darwinian beliefs along the way.

Intelligent Design Believes:

* “Anyone opposed to naturalism could potentially qualify as an ally. This includes believers in evolution from microbe to man, so long as this belief were to involve some intelligent, planned interference sometime during the billions of years ... They generally believe in, or are publicly neutral on, the millions and billions of years that evolutionists teach and accept.” (Ibid.)

I.D. does not rule out that Evolution has been occurring for billions of years, just as Darwin advocates teach; their only difference is that they believe that, at some point along the way, a super-intelligent being of some sort intervened to start the evolutionary process. And, yes, this “super-intelligent being” might have been Aliens.

* “They either are comfortable with, or express no public view on, the corollary implication of long-age belief, namely that millions of years of death, disease and suffering took place before mankind appeared.” (Ibid.)

They reject the Biblical view that Omnipotent God (Jesus) created a perfect world, populated by a perfect set of human beings, and a perfect natural world to serve them; further, they reject the Biblical revelation that sin ruined this perfect world, setting into motion all the evil, disaster, suffering, and death from which mankind has suffered every day since then. As we shall see in a few moments, rejecting the Biblical notion that man’s sin ruined an originally perfect world carries some very significant practical and theological problems — eternal problems.

* “Though the movement incorporates some believers in Genesis … its approach would preclude public expression of support or concern for the Bible’s authority in such matters.” (Ibid.)

* “They often go to great lengths to ensure that they are not seen as ‘coming at it from the Bible’.” (Ibid.)

Therefore, you can see that Intelligent Design is NOT Christian, does not think of itself as Christian, and cannot be considered by Christians as being Christian!

Yet, many Evangelical, Conservative Christians are pushing the agenda of Intelligent Design as though it were Christian. How can this be? The people at Answers In Genesis believe the reason is simply pragmatic — at least in part.

“The concept of the ID movement has attracted a number of evangelical Christians, including believers in literal Genesis, who see it as a helpful new strategy to crack the foundation of evolution, which under girds most of the world’s cultures and schools … Many Biblical (or Genesis) creationists (BCs, who by historically sound exegetical standards are convinced of recent creation) realize that the IDM ‘doesn’t go as far as we like’, but think that this is a reasonable price to pay for what they see as a potentially effective ‘thin edge of the wedge’ strategy. They reason, ‘Let’s just get the camel’s nose inside the tent, then we can concentrate on these other issues. Let’s win one battle at a time.’ ” (Ibid.)

This pragmatism sounds like the old adage that “any enemy of my enemy is my friend“. While that adage may hold some attractiveness in human philosophy, it is totally unbiblical. However, Evangelical Christians during this era have taken a number of positions based upon pragmatism rather than the Word of God. This sad scenario is similarly based.

Actually, this pragmatic view sounds suspiciously like Step 6 of the Six-Step Attitudinal Change Plan, that stage which spells disaster to the Biblical worldview, on any subject (like Abortion).

Now, this ‘Answers In Genesis’ article speaks to the unbiblical nature of Intelligent Design:

* Because they generally reject the literal Genesis account, “they can never offer a ‘story of the past’ ” – a most serious drawback. This author then elaborates:

“They generally refuse to be drawn on the sequence of events, or the exact history of life on Earth or its duration, apart from saying, in effect, that it ‘doesn’t matter’ … In other words, if the origins debate is not about a ‘story of the past’, what is it about?” (Ibid.)

Now, the author of this featured article really gets to the point to which we alluded to, above. It is a very serious Biblical matter to refuse to identify the acknowledged creator, the “super-intelligent” creative alien being or force, for that refusal can lead to some very serious consequences.

“The IDM’s refusal to identify the Designer with the Biblical God, and in particular with the history in the Bible, means that … acceptance of ID thinking en masse could just as easily lead to New-Age or Hindu-like notions of creation, as well as weird alien sci-fi notions.” (Ibid.)

We have already noted, above, that the New Age Movement started teaching, in the early 1990’s, this notion of a highly intelligent Alien intrusion into world events at some point in the distant past which tried to explain the world as we know it today. Either the Aliens created life on Earth outright, or they created the process by which Evolution could complete their original creation – so this theory teaches. In other words, at this point, Intelligent Design is nothing more, nor less, than New Age teachings of a decade ago! These theories are now simply dressed up in other clothes, in order to widen the scope of the deception.

The author of our featured article, above, makes a very pertinent point about the fact that I.D. takes almost all of its inspiration from the “power of the design argument“, i.e., they observed intricate design which requires a “Designer”.

“The Apostle Paul acknowledges the power of the design argument in Romans 1:20: God’s eternal power and divine nature can be clearly understood from the things that have been made (i.e. evidence of design in nature). Because of this, the ungodly are ‘without excuse.’ But he maintains that people willingly reject this clear evidence … Evidence of design in nature is enough to condemn men, but it is not enough to save them. The Bible makes it overwhelmingly clear that the scientific aspects of creation ministry cannot, in the end, be separated from the preaching of the Gospel, to enable people to be reconciled to their Creator.” (Ibid.)

This Biblical understanding is terrific and directly to the point. Believing in Biblical Creationism leads a person to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which leads them to eternal salvation. However, teaching that some sort of unknown designer had to have created this wonderfully complex world, but then rejecting the Gospel and the Creator Jesus throws Intelligent Design into the “naturalistic” camp of Darwinism.

Christians cannot support Intelligent Design and should not think that it is Christian. Further, President Bush seems to be simply deceiving his genuine Christian supporters when he proposes that Evolution be counterbalanced in schools by Intelligent Design. The only effective counterbalance to Evolution is Biblical Creationism. Most Christians instinctively know this, and since they are ignorant of the details of Intelligent Design, conclude that I.D. must be synonymous with Biblical Creationism since our President is proposing just that kind of counterbalance.

Too many Christians will be duped into thinking that Intelligent Design is Biblical, is synonymous with Biblical Creationism and deserves to be politically supported. This deception is a very high type (Matthew 24:4, 11, 24) and certainly represents another “Sign of the Times“. Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually.

If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.

We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order — Kingdom of Antichrist — in their daily news.

Finally, we would love to hear from you. You can contact us by mail or email.

God bless you.
