How Climate Change Effect Earth Life

A core goal in climate research today is the determination of climate sensitivity. That is, how sensitive is Earth’s climate to changes in energy inputs and outputs? Is the planet’s equilibrium temperature alarmingly sensitive or relatively insensitive to the additions of greenhouse gases in particular and other warming factors in general? What controls Earth’s climate sensitivity? Might these factors suggest something about the design of the Earth?

****

Several articles in the popular news hit last week in anticipation of the September 27 release of the Fifth Assessment Report from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). There’s little doubt that these reports will continue to reinvigorate the discussion about climate change. In that light, this article will discuss scientists’ efforts to determine the global climate’s sensitivity to changes in energy inputs and outputs.

Equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) is here defined as the response in global-mean (average) near-surface temperature to a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) from preindustrial levels (280 parts per million [ppm] to 560 ppm).1 Although the average CO2 level has not yet doubled from preindustrial values, ECS helps scientists estimate expected warming into the future. Some researchers use a similar measure known as transient climate response (TSR) to measure global sensitivity with respect to changes in radiative forcing (in this case, defined as the excess energy received by the Earth’s climate system) caused by greenhouse gases and other factors. TSR may be defined as the climate response after 70 years of 1 percent annual rises in CO2 concentration.2

Climate Sensitivity Uncertainty

Many factors, both manmade and natural, complicate the measurement of climate sensitivity. An accurate value involves many climate feedbacks, both positive (warming) and negative (cooling). In addition, variations in these factors imply that climate sensitivity itself may not be constant over time.

Global temperature depends on differences between the incoming and outgoing energy balance (known as radiative forcing). Climate sensitivity is a measure of the strength of this dependency.3 However, this relationship is highly complex and not entirely understood. In particular, changes in ocean circulation and accompanying modifications to regional atmospheric circulations complicate climate sensitivity analyses. The uncertainty of various feedback factors—such as regional atmospheric circulation, clouds, water vapor, land cover, and others—probably explains why little change in the range of climate sensitivity with respect to global climate models (GCMs) has occurred since the 1979 Charney Report.4 That research established an average of 3°C for the value of climate sensitivity. Scientists who monitor such factors as (1) the climate of the past 1,000 years, (2) climatic response to volcanic eruptions, (3) global temperature change since the ice age, and (4) geological relationships between CO2 and climate, have attempted to constrain the value of climate sensitivity. Such unresolved internally variable climate feedbacks appear to play a key role in climate sensitivity uncertainty.5

The Range of Earth’s Climate Sensitivity

Scientists have estimated that actual global average surface temperatures have risen by 0.8°C during the last 125 years.6 Climatologist Michael J. Ring and his research team7 attribute most early twentieth century warming and mid-twentieth century cooling to natural variability; but they assign most late twentieth century warming to anthropogenic (manmade) causes. Regardless of the causes of such changes, controversy over the value of climate sensitivity continues to create problems for public planners and policy makers. Natural climate change has significantly affected human civilization throughout recorded history, but the perceived degree of future climate change—whether natural, anthropogenic, or both—greatly impacts the implementation of mitigation and/or adaptation policies.

A number of recent studies have attempted to address the range of Earth’s climate sensitivity. The Fifth IPCC Assessment Report (2013) puts climate sensitivity in the wide range of 1.5C to 4.5°C (in the Fourth Assessment of 2007, the lower bound was 2°C). More recent estimates of climate sensitivity cluster both within the high end and low end of the given IPCC ranges.

  • John Fasullo and Kevin Trenberth8 of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, predict an ECS value near the high end of the IPCC estimate of about 4°C––meaning they believe the globe will warm by four degrees after a doubling of CO2 starting from the industrial revolution. They based their estimate on computer models with good track records in simulating humidity in the subtropics over a recent 10-year period.
  • Climate researcher James Hansen and his colleagues9 provided another relatively high estimate suggesting 3°C+/-1°C based on 4 W/m2 (four watts per square meter) of CO2-related radiative forcing (energy imbalance) since the last glacial maximum (compared to the present warm interglacial climate).

However, uncertainties about feedbacks during the last glacial maximum (dust, clouds, etc.) create potentially significant errors for this approach. Hansen has also suggested a 3 to 4°C climate sensitivity based on the Eemian, the last interglacial warm period (which began 130,000 years ago and ended about 115,000 years ago). Another study, based on radiation patterns in climate models, agreed closely with Hansen’s estimates (3.3°C).10

A Weaker Climate Response?

However, other researchers, such as Michael Schlesinger of the Climate Research Group (University of Illinois), predict a weaker climate response.11 The Schlesinger study (which formed a part of Ring’s report12) applied an in-house computer model to analyze historic temperatures changes as a means of narrowing future predictions. This method yielded a 1.5 to 2°C ECS, based on a doubling of CO2 since preindustrial times. Schlesinger’s conclusions are particularly interesting because only a decade ago he concluded that there was a 70 percent chance that climate sensitivity would exceed the high range of the Fourth IPCC Assessment Report value of 4.5°C.

Several additional researchers have recently concluded that ECS may be less than the Fourth IPCC Assessment’s mean value (3°C):

  • Researchers led by Sydney Levitus13 suggest an ECS value of 1.5°C for a doubling of CO2 based on increases in ocean heat content.
  • Climatologist Nicholas Lewis’ work14 produced a value of 1.6°C within a 90 percent confidence interval of 1.2 to 2.2°C.
  • Additionally, another study, published in the journal Climate Dynamics,15 revealed a climate sensitivity of 1.9°C (1.5 to 2.9°C range) based on ocean heat content estimates (using temperatures at depths of 0 to 2,000 meters) and surface temperature observations from 1951–2010.

This last study considered the relationship between ocean heat uptake and long-term climate sensitivity using 32 CMIP (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project) climate model configurations.

Possible Reduced Sensitivity

Other earlier studies have suggested a reduced climate sensitivity compared to estimates provided by the IPCC. In a 2010 Journal of Climate paper, entitled “Why Hasn’t Earth Warmed as Much as Expected?,” researchers led by Stephen Schwartz noted that the 0.8°C increase that has been observed since the late nineteenth century is much less than the 2.1 to 2.4°C increase that might have been expected given previously assumed values of climate sensitivity.16 They concluded that, over the industrial era, the climate has warmed by about 40 percent of the value expected based on estimates from the 2007 IPCC climate assessment.

Schwartz’s group calculated that natural factors explained only 15 percent of this discrepancy and that thermal imbalances in the Earth’s climate system might account for an additional 25 percent of the difference. Inaccurate estimates of climate sensitivity and uncertainties related to aerosols were identified as possible sources of error. As a result of these findings, Schwartz’s team suggested a possible planetary heating imbalance of 0.37 W/m2 or about 2°C of warming by the end of twenty-first century (about half of what has been assumed by high-end ESC estimates).17 Petr Chylek and his associates (2007) seem to broadly agree with these conclusions, saying that the Earth’s climate sensitivity produces a 0.2 to 0.48 W/m2 (watts per square meter) heating rate.

What does this mean? Scientists are not yet able to determine with any unanimity how Earth will respond to an increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that began with the industrial revolution and may double by the end of the twenty-first century. Research continues, but prudence would dictate neither an overreaction to nor a dismissal of the data surrounding Earth’s climate sensitivity. (RTB)

10 Mind-Blowing Theories That Will Change Your Perception of the World

 

change perception of the world

Reality is not as obvious and simple as we like to think. Some of the things that we accept as true at face value are notoriously wrong. Scientists and philosophers have made every effort to change our common perceptions of it. The 10 examples below will show you what I mean.

1. Great glaciation.

Great glaciation is the theory of the final state that our universe is heading toward. The universe has a limited supply of energy. According to this theory, when that energy finally runs out, the universe will devolve into a frozen state. Heat energy produced by the motion of the particles, heat loss, a natural law of the universe, means that eventually this particle motion will slow down and, presumably, one day everything will stop.

2. Solipsism.

Solipsism is a philosophical theory, which asserts that nothing exists but the individual’s consciousness. At first it seems silly – and who generally got it into his head completely deny the existence of the world around us? Except when you put your mind to it, it really is impossible to verify anything but your own consciousness.

Don’t you believe me? Think a moment and think of all the possible dreams that you have experienced in your life. Is it not possible that everything around you is nothing but an incredibly intricate dream? But we have people and things around us that we cannot doubt, because we can hear, see, smell, taste and feel them, right? Yes, and no. People who take LSD, for example, say that they can touch the most convincing hallucinations, but we do not claim that their visions are “reality”. Your dreams simulate sensations as well, after all, what you perceive is what different sections of your brain tell you to.

As a result, which parts of existence can we not doubt? None. Not the chicken we ate for dinner or the keyboard beneath our fingers. Each of us can only be sure in his own thoughts.

3. Idealist Philosophy

George Berkeley, the father of Idealism, argued that everything exists as an idea in someone’s mind. Berkley discovered that some of his comrades considered his theory stupid. The story goes that one of his detractors kicked a stone with his eyes closed and said, “There I’ve disproved it!”

The idea being that if the stone really only exists in his imagination, he could not have kicked it with his eyes closed. Refutation of Berkeley is hard to understand, especially in these days. He argued that there is an omnipotent and omnipresent God, who sees all and all at once. Realistic, or not?

4. Plato and Logos.

reality illusionEverybody has heard of Plato. He is the world’s most famous philosopher. Like all philosophers he had a few things to say about reality. He argued that beyond our perceived reality there lies a world of “perfect” forms. Everything that we see is just a shade, an imitation of how things truly are. He argued that by studying philosophy we have a chance of catching a glimpse of how things truly are, of discovering the perfect forms of everything we perceive.

In addition to this stunning statement, Plato, being a monist, said that everything is made of a single substance. Which means (according to him) that diamonds, gold and dog feces all consist of the same basic material, but in a different form, which, with science’s discovery of atoms and molecules, has been proven true to an extent.

5. Presentism.

Time is something that we perceive as a matter of course, if we view it at the moment, we usually divide it into past, present and future. Presentism argues that the past and the future are imagined concepts, while only the present is real.

In other words, today’s breakfast and every word of this article will cease to exist after you have read it, until you open it again. The future is just as imaginary, because time cannot exist before and after it happened, as claimed by St. Augustine.

6. Eternalism.

Enternalism is the exact opposite of presentism. This is a philosophical theory that says that time is multi-layered. It can be compared to a pound cake (however, unlike the time, a biscuit is not up for philosophical debate). All time exists simultaneously, but the measurement is determined by the observer. What he sees depends on which point he is looking at.

Thus dinosaurs, World War II and Justin Bieber all exist simultaneously but can only be observed from a specific location. If one takes this view of reality then the future is hopeless and the deterministic free will is illusory.

7. The Brain in a Jar

The “brain in a jar” thought experiment is a question discussed by thinkers and scientists, who, like most people, believe that human’s understanding of reality depends solely on his subjective feelings.

So, what is the debate? Imagine that you are just a brain in a jar that is run by aliens or mad scientists. How would you know? And can you truly deny the possibility that this is your reality?

This is a modern interpretation of the Cartesian evil demon problem. This thought experiment leads to the same conclusion: we cannot confirm the actual existence of anything except our consciousness. If this seems to sound reminiscent of the movie “The Matrix“, it is only because this idea was part of the very basis of the story. Unfortunately, in reality we have no red pills…

8. The Multiverse Theory

multiverse realityAnyone who has not spent the last ten years on a desert island, has at least once heard of “the multiverse”, or parallel universes. As many of us have seen, parallel words, in theory, are worlds very similar to ours, with little (or in some cases, large) changes or differences. The multiverse theory speculates that there could exist an infinite number of these alternate realities.

What’s the point? In a parallel reality you have already killed the dinosaurs, and you are lying under the ground at a depth of eight feet (because that’s what happened there.) In the other you might be a powerful dictator. In another you might never have even been born since your parents never met. Now that’s a memorable image.

9. Fictional realism.

This is the most fascinating branch of multiverse theory. Superman is real. Yes, some of you would probably choose a different story, for argument’s sake, Harry Potter might be real too. This branch of the theory argues that given an infinite number of universes, everything must exist somewhere. So, all of our favorite fiction and fantasy may be descriptive of an alternate universe, one where all the right pieces came in to place to make it happen.

10. Phenomenalism.

Everyone is interested in what happens to things when we aren’t looking at them. Scientists have carefully studied this problem and some of them came to a simple conclusion – they disappear. Well, not quite like this. Phenomenalist philosophers believe that objects only exist as a phenomenon of consciousness. So, your laptop is only here while you are aware of, and believe in its existence, but when you turn away from it, it ceases to exist until you or someone else interacts with it. There is no existence without perception. This is the root of phenomenalism.

The above thoughts challenges the New Age Movement stand on Atheism and faith. Above thoughts reveals that the New Age Movement must depend on Faith also. Their propositions are not the absolute truth, and certainly not a proof that there is no God. As a matter of fact,  our Absolute God is the foundation of reality in which all things are created. My Faith.

Isaiah 28:16

Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
 
(NLT)
  1. Isaiah 28:16
    So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic.
  2. Romans 9:33
    As it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”1 Peter 2:6
  3. For in Scripture it says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”

Search For Life On Earth Twin Planet

The discovery of numerous exoplanets (planets outside of our solar system) has narrowed the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) to those exoplanets thought likely to support life. Part 1 of this series laid out the parameters and methodology of a recent search for ETI by members of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute, SETI at Berkeley, and several radio astronomers.1 The team attempted to detect narrow band radio signals from a technological civilization. The search returned a null result—which should not be surprising for two reasons.

First, even if radio-transmitting civilizations inhabited one or more of the target planetary systems, the methods of detection used in the study would encounter severe technological challenges. For example, the orbital and rotational motions of an ETI transmitter would be unknown, thereby severely complicating corrections for Doppler frequency shifts. In addition, solar wind and the interstellar medium2 can cause significant spectral broadening on transiting narrow band signals. And, of course, the data analysis must discriminate against copious narrow band signals of terrestrial origins.

Then there is the power required for ETI to transmit a signal detectable by the equipment used in the study. The researchers generally assumed a transmitting power about eight times (or more) than that of the Arecibo Planetary Radar, the most powerful radio transmitter on Earth—but there’s no guarantee that would be the case. Finally, if the transmitter has a typical Earth-like duty cycle (on/off times), the overall probability of being in the radar beam during an observation is approximately 2 x 10-8. From these considerations, we can appreciate the enormous technological challenges that confronted these SETI investigations.

Second, it is now known that for a planet to host a technological civilization, it along with its moon, star, and planetary system, must meet a long list of prerequisites. This list goes far beyond the simple criteria used in the SETI study. For example, the planet must have finely tuned plate tectonics, the just-right amount of surface water, a unique moon that stabilizes the planet’s rotation, a magnetic field that protects the planet’s atmosphere, a star with the just-right metallicity,3 a planetary system that is stable over billions of years and a history of microbial activity that also spans billions of years. Even then, there is a high likelihood that astronomical or terrestrial catastrophes will wipe out any advanced life on the planet.

In his book Alone in the Universe, physicist John Gribbin spells out the details of why it is extremely unlikely that another technological civilization exists in the Milky Way Galaxy. He concludes:

The reasons why we are here form a chain so improbable that the chance of any other technological civilization existing in the Milky Galaxy at the present time is vanishingly small. We are alone, and we had better get used to the idea.4

If we are looking for galactic neighbors, as the SETI researchers are doing, we will increasingly feel alone in the cosmos. In his book Why the Universe is the Way It Is, Hugh Ross writes, “it seems doubly certain that the humanity of Earth is the only intelligent physical species in the observable universe.”5 At some point the advocates of SETI will have to acknowledge the realities of the universe that we live in. They are searching for something that recent scientific discoveries give us little reason to believe exists—unless there has been divine intervention.

Conclusions

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence will continue because its adherents believe human civilization is mediocre and unexceptional. They cling to that belief in the face of scientific discoveries that have dramatically diminished the realm of possible habitats for technological life in the Galaxy.

It is a great irony that, if naturalism is true then there is little hope for SETI’s success, no matter the degree of sophistication in detection technology. In the naturalist’s worldview, the universe has no purpose, no meaning, and no direction. Every outcome is the result of a combination of undirected natural laws and stochastic processes. Naturalism cannot explain why we are here, much less why there should also be human-like extraterrestrials. A supernatural Creator is the best explanation for what we observe (or don’t observe) in our galaxy. (OG,RTB)

God’s Design For His Toyspace

God Equation Supplement 4

In the beginning of creation above diagram depicts states.

Toyspace (collection of qv’s) is created in a manner that when human brains are exposed to its environment learning takes place. The most precious knowledge are the immutable, constants, principles,  and neo-absolutes that may be called precepts of an Absolute God. Toyspace is truly a manifestation of the Kingdom of God.  The Lord’s Prayer states “…let thy Kingdom come…”

Scientist study the world seeking for the immutable, constants, or principles. I collectively call all of above sorties as qua variant (qv) which means that a phenomenon can be observed over and over with only an insignificant varying observation. Christians believe in toyspace in the sense of “Do everything unto the Lord.” This is what genuinely constitutes toyspace.

The set of the collection of qv’s exist in its wholeness as QV. Therefore, qv is part of QV which also means “The way God made things to work.” Since my goal is to relate science to religion showing that science supports religion. Religion and science are from the same Creator.

I can safely say that QV testifies of Christ Jesus, the Son of God; our Lord and Savior. The Spirit of Truth Who God put in the world testifies of the Son Of God, and brings to memory what Jesus taught.

  • Romans 1:20
    For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
  • Colossians 2:9
    For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;
  • The whole set of immutables can be represented abstractly as the God Equation which also states that God created everything, and nothing created exist that is not created by God:
  •           QV(S(1))qv(m) + QV(S(2))qv(n) = QV(S(3))[qv(m) + qv(n)], the vehicle of existence which imposes, binds, and creates all things; can represent any point in existence even in the mind. This is a representive of the stone that God laid in Zion ( the essence of things); the Jesus, Son of God,  stone.

Isaiah 28:16

Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
 
Romans 9:33

As it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”

Equipping Message for Believers

Practicing social skills, building rapport, and then discerning when and how to reveal my identity as a follower of Christ is often a challenge for me. Prevalent stereotypes and preconceptions about Christians, especially Evangelicals, can make this moment of self-revelation difficult. I understand why Christians feel tempted to avoid it in nearly all circumstances. The range of responses is wide and unpredictable, from instant detachment to awkward silence to verbal assault. Having experienced all these and more, including a range of positive responses, I thought you might like to consider how Kathy and I prepare for these encounters.

First, we ask God to lead us to the people He has prepared for us to meet, people who need a nudge toward faith in Him, whether it be a new or renewed faith, and toward trust in the reliability of His word.

Second, we remind each other that our role is to “infuse nutrients” and watch for the response. By this I’m referring to what an ER surgeon once told us about determining whether injured tissues are alive and treatable or dead. He said, “if the tissue responds to infused nutrients, it’s alive and treatable.” This seems to be a wonderful analogy for interacting with people whose spiritual condition is unknown to us. If we infuse spiritual truth into the conversation and the individual responds, we can gently offer more, as much as the person is ready to receive.

Third, we mention some recent or intriguing discoveries we think people might be eager to hear about. We also practice describing our interests in ways that spark curiosity and invite questions.

I’m glad to report that these simple preparations paid off once again during our late summer travels, including the Burgess Shale Adventure you’ve read about in our various publications and e-communications. One encounter in particular stands out, in part because it came unexpectedly and involved many people through various circumstances.

The encounter began with a friend and RTB chapter leader who could not come with our group but was able to visit the Cambrian fossils on his own a few weeks before we arrived. His gracious demeanor and familiarity with life’s history made a favorable impression on the young geologists who guide visitors along the trails of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our friend paved the way for their interactions with Fuz and me.

When we arrived, these guides were ready for us—ready to raise questions about how we, as scientists and science enthusiasts, view the data and connect it with our biblically based beliefs. I only wish you could have heard the conversations along the trail between each of them—self-described atheistic naturalists—and various members of our group, not just Fuz and me.

I cannot relay them all in this brief letter, but I’d like to share with you a few of the guides’ comments at day’s end. “We’ve never met people like you,” they said, “except for that friend of yours who came a few weeks ago.” They observed not only our group’s eagerness to learn but also our “enthusiastic and confident faith.” They said Fuz and I gave them perspectives they had never heard, and they were amazed to see how well our biblical model for life’s history, based largely on Genesis 1 and Psalm 104, fits the known data. Their encounter with RTB made them excited to hear more.

You and I have all the more reason to prepare ourselves to share about the joy and hope that is ours, as 1 Peter 3:15–16 tells us. Every day I see the value of each word in these verses, which exhort us to honor Christ above all else in life and to approach nonbelievers with gentleness, respect, and a clear conscience. (HR,TBN)

Targeted Searches For Life Only Recently Possible

 Past searches for ETI have consisted of star surveys using instruments like the Allen Telescope Array and other radio telescopes. With the discovery of almost 1,000 exoplanets, things have begun to change. Now, searches can target specified exoplanets and the 2009 launch of the Kepler satellite has been the biggest boon to enabling these targeted investigations. Prior to Kepler, exoplanet detection technology tended to favor gas giant planets. Thus, it is no surprise that most of the first exoplanets discovered are not suitable hosts for any life, much less sentient beings. However, the transit method used by Kepler is designed to detect Earth-size planets that are in or near the habitable zone of their host star. A recent update of NASA’s Exoplanet Archive listed another 119 Kepler-discovered planets around 59 stars; many are in multiple planet systems. In addition, there are stars termed “Kepler Objects of Interest” (KOI) from which there are over 3,000 detections that have not yet been verified as planets.2 These exoplanet “candidates” are also available as possible targets for SETI searches.

Selected Targets Most Amenable for Earth-like Life

Eighty-six Kepler-observed stars (those having confirmed exoplanets and KOIs with detections still classified as candidates) were selected as targets for the SETI survey. These stars were selected because they satisfied one or more of the following criteria:

  • Star and planetary system have a cursory similarity to Earth and the solar system
  • Star hosted one or more planet candidates that were in or near the traditional habitable zone3
  • Star hosted five or more planet candidates total
  • Star hosted a “super-Earth”4 in an orbit with a period of more than 50 days

The SETI project later found that one of the 86 targets is a false positive; so it was deleted from the list. However, 19 other KOIs were serendipitously located close enough to the beam width of a primary target such that these stars were also observed, giving a total of 104 possible planetary systems under observation for evidence of ETI.

The Unique Earth-based View of Kepler Objects

The SETI team’s strategy was to look for narrow band (<5 Hz) radio emissions from a civilization communicating with other planets in its home system. In the case of human civilization, this would be analogous to radio transmissions to/from spacecraft or occupied stations in orbit around or on the surface of our sister planets. Additionally, Earth-based radar imaging of solar system bodies and radar mapping of debris from artificial Earth satellites would produce narrow band radio frequency transmissions of interest. Similar activities would be expected of extraterrestrial civilizations. Transmissions of this type would be directed in the plane of the planet’s orbit around its host star.5

The Kepler satellite’s transit detection method works best when a planet’s orbit is seen nearly edge-on from Earth’s vicinity. Thus, the Kepler objects were ideal for this ETI search strategy. Each of the exoplanets in a system observed by Kepler orbited their host star in nearly the same plane, with Earth currently passing approximately through that plane. So it should be possible, in principle, for an Earth-based receiver to intercept any narrow band communications between exoplanets in one of those systems.

The research team explained why narrow band radio emissions would be a good indicator of ETI:

Radio emission less than 5 Hz in spectral extent is currently known to only arise from artificial sources…Natural astrophysical electromagnetic emissions are inherently spectrally broadened by the random processes underlying natural emission physics…Emission no more than a few Hz in spectral width is, as far as we know, an unmistakable indicator of engineering by an intelligent civilization.6

Yet in spite of the leaps in our technology and knowledge of exoplanets, these research efforts have not detected any signs of intelligent life. Finding intelligent life in the cosmos is very optimistic for the near future.

Actually, scientist are looking for civilizations in outer space. The government have captured UFO’s and alien bodies, and is aware that they have been visiting Earth for centuries. Interestingly, the bodies of aliens appear that they could be androids, manufactured by an advance civilization. While being millions of years older than our society, they are living in a higher conscientious supported by these androids possibly. So, we know that they exist somewhere.  We have never been alone in  the cosmos. (OG,RTB)

SON OF GOD; ULTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

Every sane human has powdered the subject of what is the truth in this world. I feel that I can safely assume that caveman stared into the heavens and wondered the same. Science states that it’s wasn’t the look into infinite space and it’s configurations, but it was when cavemen began to have affection for each other to the extend that they began powdering  life after death. The God concept came from the latter rather than the formal. In comparison, caveman’s newly developing love beyond themself was the beginning of theology. Ironically, most Theologians believe that “God is love” is the most important scripture in the bible today.

The human is designed by God to love only one higher power; if duel higher powers exist, then the mind begin to voluntarily and involuntarily by nature observes both critically, and after comparing over time the mind involuntarily drift toward one. Furthermore, the human mind can only love what is a unity, and have no affection for what is diverging; we have a wait and see what solidifies. This can be call a natural progression as designed by God with the sole purpose to seek and find Him.

The Greeks are noted for developing and expanding upon the term of the Creator, the One Who created All.  The Jews added that God was a benevolent God which could exercise wrath upon ones that disobeyed Him. appeasing God and winning His affection without warranting His wrath is emphasised in the Old Testament. God had began to reveal His personality to mankind.

The Jews arrived at the term Messiah; One who would come to Earth, and create a community among the Jews approaching that of a utopia. The Jews to this day are still looking for their Messiah, and refusing to accept Christ Jesus as their Messiah. I mentioned all of the above in order to bring us to Jesus, the Son of God.

No one really imagined that God’s Holy Spirit would Father a child in the womb of  a woman, but this was the beginning.

Jesus grew in statue and waxed strong in the Spirit. When entering adulthood He began to work miracles; bring the dead to life again, healing the sick, and testifying about His Heavenly Father.

Jesus was crucified, and was resurrected three days later by God, His Heavenly Father, which revealed that God’s Holy Spirit was life, and could not be destroyed by man, and establish that all things of God shall last forever as the grass and flowers revive each year.

Christianity has had its ups and downs, but also has grown in magnitude and depth. During its evolution the clergymen claimed that only they could give the meaning of the Word of God. This placed the clergy between God and the common man. It was common to charge fees to mediate between a commoner and God. But this all changed when Martin Luther of Germany and Calvin of England began a movement posing that any soul that could read could read the scriptures and have a relationship with God. This was revolutionary and almost got the two mentioned above killed, but they were imprisoned for teaching such.

This movement brought into being the true meaning of Christianity; a relationship with God available to each soul. This was the beginning of a “Personal Relationship with God.” This was what Jesus desired as He said “…power comes by fasting and prayer…for any soul” The Day Of Pentecostal when a group of believers meet to receive the promise of Christ Jesus which was the receiving of the Holy Spirit. The book of Acts describes this event in detail when the believers did as Jesus promised, received God’s Spirit and came into the presence of God. This was Earth shaking and absolutely profound. Man had found God.

Jesus, the Son of God, is the conduit in the Spirit in order to received from our Heavenly Father. Through the Son of God we receive all the promises of God with abundance and joy.

  • Matthew 8:29
    And suddenly they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”
  • Matthew 14:33
    Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.”
  • Matthew 16:16
    Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
  • Matthew 26:63
    But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, “I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!”
  • Matthew 27:40
    and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”
  • Matthew 27:43
    He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
  • Matthew 27:54
    So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”

Christianity Exist As A Resistance To Evil Acts Among The People

Although Christianity is a minority part of American society, it has always acted as an impedance to evil acts. Christianity has always helped to establish and maintain buffers between evil acts and good acts.

We are losing this resistive force and catalyst for positive actions in our American society. The boundaries against evil deeds are breaking down as evidenced by the mass shootings of the past 24 months with many killings per day in America.

The Secular Humanist has been attempting to harness the human potential without acknowledging God, but this is like creating an atomic bomb awaiting to explode.

The Word Of God brings peace and works patience while calming the beast.

The Word Of God gives hope that is conducive for peace.

The Word Of God Saves, and verifies that God is a  loving God.

Begin to comprehend the Word Of God, and the understanding of life shall begin. Seek God and His Righteousness, and all shall be added unto you. Contentment and satisfaction of each person shall bring goodness to all.

The Devil; Hidden In Normalcy

It’s ashamed that every time that I drive from my house I see one or two police cars. This can not be communicated as an exception to anyone. A  cashier can service it’s money till every time I am in line for two straight years in Los Angeles, but this can not be communicated to anyone as an exception. It has become obvious to me that the devil can easily control our lives; living under the cover of normalcy. We are ignoramuses; blind to the devil.

The devil is running to and fro in the normalcy of our  affairs.  The devil is in the details. The most profound deception by the devil is that he doesn’t exist. This is most facilitated under the hood of normalcy in which prevents the targeted person from communicating their problems to others even the authorities who should be aware of such activities.

SIG (special interests that target private citizens) can operate with anonymity, destroying lives and inciting atrocities such as the mass killings by disturbed shooter. If SIG wouldn’t have targeted  them, than many love ones would be alive today. SIG is a bitch!

To experience a free democracy one must not be harassed by SIG who turns lives rotten which is worst than living in any communist country. These special interests destroys any and all life pleasantries. They destroy the first two options which would lead unto a pleasant outcome away from the targeted person. A poor soul targeted by SIG lives on 3rd and 4th options if they even exist.  In Hell!

Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you. Spread  the love of Jesus. Please remember that the potentiality of normal things when increased in frequency is no longer normal to the targeted person.

“Sleep with the devil, and wake up in hell.”

Joshua 7:11: “Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. For they have even taken some of the accursed things, and have both stolen and deceived; and they have also put it among their own stuff.”

Matthew 25:41:   “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.”

  1. Matthew 8:31:  “So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.”

THY KINGDOM COME

God has founded the universe, and the Earth came into being. Scientist have been discovering how precise the parameters are that led to the present Earth which also was formed to cultivate the evolving development of life. If the value of the five forces of nature would have varied by only one ten thousandth of a degree than we would not be here.

As man accrued knowledge, he began to ponder the afterlife. This led to the concept of a God(s) who was responsible for the nature of all things.

The concept of a Messiah who would solve all problems was a belief to give hope to the heavily burdened people. Man had learned to look into the future and have faith.

Jesus, the Son of God, was a seed from God who sent a Savior into the world that grew to be recognized by some men as the Messiah.

The Lord Prayer ask that God’s Kingdom come to Earth in the name of Jesus. It appears that the scripture that says “Seek God and His Righteousness, and all shall be added unto you” really mean find Jesus in this world; Jesus being God among us in the flesh. A personal relationship with Jesus is a personal relationship with God, our Heavenly Father.

  1. Matthew 3:2
    and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”

    From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”

    As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’

     

  6. Matthew 12:28
    But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

     

  7. Matthew 13:19
    When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path.

     

  8. Matthew 19:14
    Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

     

  9. Matthew 24:14
    And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

     

  10. Matthew 25:34
    “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.

     

  11. Mark 1:15
    “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”

     

  12. Mark 9:1
    And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.”

     

  13. Mark 10:14
    When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

     

  14. Luke 10:9
    Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’

     

  15. Luke 10:11
    ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’

     

  16. Luke 11:2
    He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.

     

  17. Luke 11:20
    But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

     

  1. Luke 13:29
    People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God.

     

  2. Luke 17:20
    [ The Coming of the Kingdom of God ] Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed,

    Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

     

  8. 1 Corinthians 15:24
    Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.

     

  9. Revelation 12:10
    Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
