Does a Scientist Need Faith?

Spirituality, , ,

Does a Scientist Need Faith?  In this connection, a very fascinating and remarkable stipulation is imposed upon mathematics by the famous theorem of Kurt Godel. The “…formal systems with which Godel worked are sufficiently rich in syntax for the derivation of all of classical mathematics (and presumably of much of mathematics yet to be developed).” (1) Godel’s theorem proves that for a system to be consistent it must contain “undecidable” propositions; i.e. the scientist has to have faith — even the atheist! Faith in what? Hopefully, most would say, “That which works well and brings about good in the world.” Einstein said, “…the deeper that I delve into the sciences of the universe, the more firmly do I believe that one God, or force, or influence, has organized it for our discovery.” Clearly, Einstein was a believer in his own right and had faith.

Sir Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac Newton—the greatest scientist in recorded history—studied religion more than science and came to know the Creator of it all. Unfortunately, his religious writings have never been published. Fortunately, my good friend, Steven Jones—Emeritus Professor of Physics at BYU—went to the Cambridge library where Newton’s writings have been archived and he, his wife Lezlee, and their daughter copied down significant portions of Newton’s religious writings. Steve prepared a power-point presentation and shared it in a fireside in our home. I took copious notes and Steve let me borrow his slides. I have used these significantly in preparing an Isaac Newton religion Principia in Chapter 3 of my new book, Time & Eternity: The End-Times & Beyond Revealed. Steve’s material has been most helpful in writing the Chapter in that book on, “Where We are in God’s Time.”

Louis Agassiz

Louis Agassiz (1807-1873), considered the greatest natural scientist in his day, declared, “It is the job of prophets and scientists alike to proclaim the glories of God.” He was greatly respected by his contemporary, Charles Darwin. In fact, Darwin shared his feelings with the poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, “What a set of men you have at Harvard! Both universities put together cannot furnish the like. Why, there is Agassiz — he counts for three.” All of Agassiz’s peers knew he was a giant intellectually and spiritually, and he had proven Darwin’s concept of natural selection invalid at the time based on fossil data, showing that there was direct evidence of intelligent design behind the “explosion” of the several different species coming forth, which could not have evolved. Agassiz’s goal was to understand the mind of the Divine–to have faith.

W. H. Murray

W. H. Murray profoundly stated:

Until one is committed
There is hesitancy, the chance to draw back,
Always ineffectiveness.
Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation),
There is one elementary truth,
The ignorance of which kills countless ideas
And splendid plans:
That the moment one definitely commits oneself,
Then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one
That would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision
Raising in one’s favor all manner
Of unforeseen incidents and meetings
And material assistance,
Which no man could have dreamt
Would have come his way.

God is in the details for those who have eyes to see and who have faith.

When powered by faith Goethe’s couplet can bring forth exciting results:

 “Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.”

I have seven major inventions the Lord has given me powered by faith that have been a blessing to many and have affected the world community for good.

Gustaf Stromberg

In 1961, Gustaf Stromberg of the Franklin Institute proposed a fifth dimension based on some experiential information. He suggests that this fifth dimension called the “eternity domain” gives to time elasticity while maintaining sequence. He further explains that this eternity domain can…

“...be described as an Almighty, Wise and Living Person, the Creator of all things, physical, mental, and spiritual. In our mind, we have an “image” of this Person and an idea of His existence and nature. We are created in His image,… We can also understand that this Person in His wisdom may select one or more souls to carry important messages and admonitions to other human souls,… Some of these messages we can also hear directly when we listen to the voice of the “Cosmic Conscience.” They tell us unequivocally that the essence of Divine law can be expressed in the simple admonition: “Love ye one another!”

In our Unified Field Theory research, we discovered a fifth dimension and we used Stromberg’s name for it–the Eternity Domain–and learned about diallel-field lines. This is how prayer works. We each have a diallel-field line connection to God. Not limited by time and space, the Eternity Domain is where God and His angels do their Divine orchestration where the Kingdom of Heaven is perfectly organized and each of us have been given angels to help us in our mortal journey. It is up to us to have faith and to pray; God loves you and is there for you (Matt. 7:7-8).

Truth Against the World

With eight billion people on this planet, we have eight billion world views. Living the Law of Love means that we respect each view. Be humble and love and learn from others as the opportunity arrives. My goal is like the Druids, “TRUTH against the world”–exposing Satanic deceits and finding and enjoying the glories of God’s infinite goodness. Life gives us challenges and choices to follow our conscience, which is the Spirit of Christ to do good, or not.

Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 

I love the French translation from this verse: ‘les met en pratique’–be a wise person and put His sayings into practice. Be a doer of His Word. In our day, we have the extremely important prophecy: “they who would not hear his voice should be cut off from among the people.” (JS-H 40) The logical equivalent of that prophecy is: “If you want to be with Him at His coming, hearken to His voice.”

The Book of Mormon – Lehi

The Prophet Lehi said it most profoundly in Second Nephi Chapter 2:25 – 27 “Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.

“And the Messiah cometh in the fulness of time, that he may redeem the children of men from the fall. And because they are redeemed from the fall they have become free forever, knowing good from evil; to act for themselves and not to be acted upon, save it be by the punishment of the law at the great and last day, according to the commandments which God hath given.

“Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.”

Regarding faith in the Book of Mormon–Alma shares:

Alma gives us his fundamental definition of faith, “faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.” (Alma 31:21) Hence, you cannot have faith in something which is not true. All things that are true come from Christ. Christ is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). As we ask, seek, and knock, (Mt. 7:7-8) He is there for us to find the TRUTH. Then He gives us the great promise in John 8:12, 32, 36: If we follow Him we will not walk in darkness, and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free; then when He sets you free, ye are free indeed. But, it is our choice.

Whether the world wants to believe it or not, all truth is found this way, and religious truths cannot contradict scientific truths. We move to a grand harmony between true science and true religion as we come to Christ, who is the author of and knows all truth. This is my experience. God is the grand Creator; He created us to be creators also. In so doing, as we look to Him who is the Way, (John 14:6) we find joy in fulfilling our missions in mortality.

Validity of Prayer Is Proven by Science

Spirituality,

Is it possible that the validity of prayer and answers to prayer can be proven by science?  Yes, a prayer channel can be opened and is proven through physics.  The “Fifth Dimension” is real.

We know that prayer is the most often repeated commandment in the scriptures. Prayer is our pathway to heaven. I learned some exciting dimensions regarding the physics of how prayer works when we were doing some research in the Unified Field Theory (UFT), which Einstein didn’t finish before he passed over. To keep it simple, Albert Einstein’s theories of relativity are built around four dimensions. We can think of them as longitude, latitude, altitude, and time. In our UFT research, we learned of a new insight in physics—called diallel-field lines—that includes a fifth dimension, which we call the Eternity Domain.

The Eternity-Domain

Unbeknownst to most, we learned that these diallel-field lines permeate the universe. The fascinating thing we have learned from the Lord’s physics is that when we were born as spirit offspring of our Heavenly Parents, we were given a diallel-field-line umbilical cord, as it were, that is always available to us to communicate with our infinitely loving God 24/7! This is so exciting to know that God is always there for us in a way that will be for our eternal best good, and when we have burdens, He will help us carry them (Matt. 11:28-30)

Seven is the Number of Completion or Perfection

Seven is the number of completion or perfection in God’s arithmetic: seven days in the week; seven thousand years to bring the earth to perfection; seven electron shells around the nuclei of all the elements with nominal spherical symmetry, and we learned that there are seven cylindrical shells associated with the diallel-field lines carrying all the energy fields and there are seven energy bands in these diallel-field lines.

These Seven Bands Permeate the Universe

These seven spectral bands with these diallel-field lines permeate the universe. They may be divided up in generic terms as follows:

1. The communication band (TV, radio, satellite, etc.)

2. The molecular band (coming from quantum transitions outside the nucleus); most of the visible light from the sun is in this band.

3. The nuclear band (coming from quantum transitions inside the nucleus) — a nuclear blast is a manifestation of this band.

4. The creation and/or annihilation band (where E = mc2 as matter and light convert with the emission and/or absorption of cosmic rays).

5. This is nominally the gravitational-field band.

6. This is the band used for mind-to-mind, mind-to-plant or animal or another object, mind-to, and from-God (our prayer channel), ESP, etc.; and lastly,

7. This is the band used by our great-loving Creator to bring about the grand harmony we see in the heavens and the Earth. Bands five, six and seven are not limited by space and time and the velocity of light.

Prayer, Our Communication Energy Frequency

So, prayer is our communication energy frequency in band 6. When we pray, we reach into the 5th dimension (Eternity-Domain) which defies time and space. Prayer is our umbilical cord to God. In prayer, science and religion come together. This is why God can hear all prayers at once. God is not restricted by time and space.

Validating  Experiments

I asked the Lord to give me some experiments to share with colleagues and the world to validate this new physics, which is really old physics because it is the Lord’s. He flooded my mind with experiments, and we have done seven to date. These are described in detail on my website www.allanstime.com and in Chapter 21 of my book www.ItsAboutTimeBook.com. One of the simple ones that anyone can do—showing evidence of these diallel-field lines–is why an egg can stand up on its end, experiment.

 The Fifth Dimension

This fifth dimension opens up some extremely important understandings about how the universe works – validating not only the existence of God but also our relationship to God. This new UFT theory has come as a result of opening ourselves up to a very different paradigm – providing harmony between all of the force fields in nature as well as with this new, fifth dimension beyond Einstein’s relativity theory. This new UFT has provided consistencies to heretofore unexplained inconsistencies as well as providing potential solutions to previously unsolvable problems. We feel like our seven experiments are like baby steps into the giant woods of God’s infinitely-extending physics by which, motivated by pure and perfect love, He brings about His work of bringing to pass the immortality and eternal life of His precious sons and daughters, who we are.

God’s Goal

His goal is eternal lives for all who choose to repent and come unto His Beloved Son, who is the way, and the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Because Christ is perfect and worked out a perfect atonement — fulfilling the will of the Father — He can perfect us — in spite of our imperfections. His grace and mercy are offered to all. The only ones excluded from receiving a fullness of joy in His perfect plan in eternal realms of joy are those who choose to not repent and to not come unto Him and to not partake of all that He offers to give. Our choices and desires make all the difference.

Let Us Examine the Hard Question and Give Answers

“Why do people not get answers to prayer?” And give answers to how we can better communicate with God.  He has promised: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” (Matt. 7:7-8) The Savior further admonished, “…ye must watch and pray always, lest ye be tempted by the devil, and ye be led away captive by him.” (3 Nephi 18:15

Some Reasons Why People Don’t Pray

  • Pride: I don’t need the Lord; I can do it; Look at me and what I have accomplished! The opposite of pride is humility: Ps. 34:2, “My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.”
  • Sin: So we don’t feel like praying. He won’t answer me; I am a sinner. God knows, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). “Pray always, that you may come off conqueror; yea, that you may conquer Satan, and that you may escape the hands of the servants of Satan that do uphold his work.” (D&C 10:5)
  • Ingratitude: Not being grateful for all things — both the good and bad in our lives. “And in nothing doth man offend God,… save those who confess not his hand in all things, and obey not his commandments. (D&C 59:21) One of his commandments is to pray always and to always have a prayer in our hearts. (3 Nephi 20:1)
  • Idolatry: We put other things before God — worshipping the works of men’s hands. We must put God first and know that He hears every sincere prayer. (The solution is keeping the First and Second of the Ten Commandments, Exodus 20:3-6)
  •  Selfishness: focus on personal welfare and advantage and disregarding others. The solution is unselfishness. “…he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.” (Matt. 10:39) Unselfish service is one of the great rewards of life—to do things altruistically. My websites are altruistic. My goal is to bring people to Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life. (John 14:6)
  • Competition: rather than cooperation. (New English Bible Gal. 6:1-5: “Each man should examine his own conduct for himself; then he can measure his achievement by comparing himself with himself and not with anyone else.”)
  • Unrighteous entertainment rather than having wholesome joy in the journey—seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness, then all else will be added. (Matt. 6:33)
  • Resentments: Holding grudges and feeling offended; inability to forgive all. We must forgive all that we may be forgiven of all, “…of you, it is required to forgive all men.” (D&C 64:10) How can we offer a sincere prayer, if we are holding resentments in our hearts?
  • Too Busy: Caught up with life; no time for the Lord to pray and ponder His goodness. Put God first before everything; and the solution, again, is living the first two of the Ten Commandments. (Exo. 20:3-6) The problem is: “They seek not the Lord to establish his righteousness, but every man walketh in his own way, and after the image of his own god, whose image is in the likeness of the world, and whose substance is that of an idol, which waxeth old and shall perish in Babylon, even Babylon the great, which shall fall.” (D&C 1:16)
  • Lack of Faith: Seeing the evil, pain, and suffering. Many doubt that God is there. I have a blog article: https://itsabouttimebook.com/how-to-increase-your-faith-in-god/ and Chapter 2 of my book, www.ItsAboutTimeBook.com explains why there is evil in God’s perfect plan of salvation. It seems a contradiction, but there is a profound explanation.
  • Not Living “The Law of Love:” We ignore the first and great commandment to “Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” (Matt. 23:36-40) Realizing the Savior said that on these two commandments, “hang all the law and the prophets.” Living these two commandments not only opens up our prayer channel to God, if everyone lived these first two great commandments, but it would also remarkably solve all the world’s problems.  How important is that?

The Ideal Channel To Him

So, we have in God’s physics, this ideal prayer channel to Him. And we have experimental evidence of the same. for the existence of a fifth dimension — the Eternity-Domain — the domain where God and His angels do their work — the work of helping us fulfill our life’s missions, our relationship with God can grow and grow and the blessings of life will flow and flow, and eternal life is the promise. Nephi explains it beautifully: (2 Nephi 31:20-21)

“Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.

“And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen.”

Opening our prayer channel brings us into oneness with God, which is eternal life—bringing the greatest happiness in this life and a fullness of joy in the life to come and with our loved ones. (John Chapter 17) We cannot imagine a more perfect plan.

Conspiracy Theory or Conspiracy Fact

Science, ,

Science Versus God

Many believe in science more than God. As a scientist, I have an advantage over most in the field of science, because I know God, and that true science and true religion harmonize.

We live in times of conflicting information. Many are convinced, that those who believe in conspiracy theories don’t have the facts.  Let us look at the facts.  What does the data tell us?  As a scientist, that is what I have been trained to do.

Human Knowing

The best article I know of on “Human Knowing” is by my good friend, Chauncey C. Riddle, emeritus professor of philosophy of religion at BrighamYoung University.  He discusses “Ways of Human Knowing:” Perception; Reason; Experimentation; Authoritarianism; Imagination; Knowledge of good and evil; and Personal Revelation.  We should all take advantage of Prof. Riddle’s profound insights on how to know the truth.

The Savior said, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”  (John 8:32)  This should give us great motivation to seek truth.  The Pilgrims placed a covenant on this land as did President George Washington.  As long as the people of this nation repent and live the commandments, we as a nation will remain free and will have the Lord’s protecting hand.  The American Revolutionary War is an attestation of that; we should not have won, but we did.  And George Washington succinctly summarized why, “Divine Intervention.”

Dangerous Times

On September 11th, 2001, the world was shocked as two airplanes plowed into the sides of the two Twin Towers, and then shortly thereafter both collapsed into their own footprint, as did Building 7 without and airplane impact.

I have been following the physics of 9/11 closely over the years. My good friend, Steven E. Jones, Emeritus Professor of Physics from BYU, was one of the earliest whistleblowers on the truth of this horrendous atrocity. His groundbreaking paper showed direct evidence of controlled demolition which took down the three world trade center buildings.  I helped peer review that paper.  The data and facts are totally consistent with controlled demolition, documenting a “conspiracy fact!”  In an article I wrote,  I list 22 reasons why this is a “conspiracy fact.” These reasons are based on data, and not on media hype.  It contradicts information told to the public by the press. It seems much of the media are “in bed” with the deception.

On October 15th, 2020, the Lawyer’s Committee For 9/11 Inquiry submitted a petition to the US Congress formally requesting a “redress of grievances regarding Federal Government misconduct related to the post-9/11 anthrax attacks of 2001,” showing Americans, that not only has the evidence presented been suppressed, but it has also been disregarded all this time. There is a great possibility, to this very day, that the same entities and interests involved with the anthrax deception and its coverup may be the same ones building the new biosecurity state, apparently using the current iteration of the ongoing anthrax agenda, COVID-19.

On 21 November 2020, David Meiswinkle, President Executive Director of Lawyer’s Committee For 9/11 Inquiry, was interviewed, and their information going forward has led them to “Anthrax to COVID – the ongoing anthrax deception,” and we have this video. Thanks to The Last American Vagabond for permission to post the video.

We Have Been Warned

For those who believe the scriptures, Moroni warns us: “Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you;”  (Ether 8:24}  Notice Moroni says, “When” not “If.  In vs 25, he discusses how these “secret combinations” are designed, “to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries…”

Wake Up Call

As a believing scientist, this calls for a major wake-up call – to be true watchmen on the tower – because if we don’t, “And behold, the watchman upon the tower would have seen the enemy while he was yet afar off; and then ye could have made ready and kept the enemy from breaking down the hedge thereof, and saved my vineyard from the hands of the destroyer.” (D&C 101:45-46, 53-54)

If you don’t know the enemy, then he will deceive you with the goal of control us and destroying our liberty.  We know who we can trust, and it is not the “arm of flesh,” but the Lord.  We know who wins in the end, but in the meantime, let us be wide awake and do what we can for the cause of liberty and truth.  The battle with Satan is real; let us be aware and valiant; repent of all our sins and turn totally to the Lord for the truths that will save us individually and as a nation.

COVID-19 Facts and Cures

Science, ,

In this blog article, I share Ten Salient Insights on COVID-19  and some Unique Remedies.

This was originally posted 1 May 2020.  A year later, I find the facts are still salient.  COVID-19 is one of many different types of Coronaviruses.  All the world knows of COVID-19 as it has caused a pandemic outbreak of illnesses and deaths. Because this disease has been unknown until now, there have been many speculations and theories — and much of it contradictory — about where and how it started and how it can be contained, avoided, and treated.

Relevant Facts in Science

A not very well-known fact is, that in science, you cannot prove a theory true because you have no way of knowing everything. Only God knows everything, but you can prove a theory false if you have valid falsification data.  For instance, there once was a theory that the world was flat.  It was proven false.  Data that correlate with a theory do not provide validation.  Data may yet be found to prove otherwise. “Line upon line” so to speak.   So, if you have reliable falsification data, you can prove a theory not true; in other words, you can know what is not true!  This allows one to uncover deceits and gain significant insights, if reliable falsification data exist

Let us use these facts to examine the COVID-19 situation.  We also need to ask as health guidelines are given for dealing with COVID-19, do those giving them have an agenda that points towards life and freedom or do they have an agenda that points towards death or enslavement? Do they have an agenda motivated by control, money, or status? Or, is their data honest, based on solid facts and evidence, for no personal gain but only for the greater good.

Based on my research of many who are involved with this new disease, I have found that some individuals have less than honest histories and have agendas that do not promote health, well-being, and freedom as given to us by God, as stated in our inspired USA Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Fortunately, now that enough time has elapsed, there are many that are coming forward with sound data, with no agenda other than honest concern and caring.    It seems in measure to be a battle of the “elite” wanting to make the state sovereign and in control versus having the individual be sovereign as God designed – allowing “free choice” to be paramount in our lives. (2 Nephi 2:25-27) Continue reading COVID-19 Facts and Cures →

Intelligence Squared Debates – Science Refutes God

Science, ,

Intelligence Squared is an organization that stages Oxford like debates around the world.  How do you know the truth?  Do we rely on “Intelligence Squared?”

Most people trust in science to bring forth truth.  But scientists know their truths are with a lower case “t,” and may well be modified or abandoned over time.

Many believe the Bible is the standard of truth.  But, most scientists believe the Bible is a myth, and tend to worship the human mind.  That is called idolatry.  As Steven Hawkins says, we can figure out how the universe came into existence without God.  I find many atheists don’t want God in their lives so that they don’t need to feel guilty for their sins.  Richard Dawkins finds it absurd to believe that if there is a God, God would care about what he does with his genitals.

Truth cannot contradict truth.  Scientific truths must harmonize with religious truths if they are, indeed, both TRUE!  So, how do we know?

Standing an Egg on Its End – Exciting Science With an Egg

Science, ,

standing-egg-on-endStanding an egg on it’s end is an good example of the UFT (United Field Theory) you can experiment with. You can be a scientist in your own kitchen and improve on Einstein.

About a hundred years ago, Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves. Einstein was working on the UFT before he died, but did not finish the work. Many have been working on it since, and there has been major progress with no actual proof….that is until now!
