Book Description
In a world filled with scientific explanations and theories, it can be easy to lose sight of the ultimate truth of our existence. The truth is that the universe, with all its intricate complexities, did not come into being by mere chance or a random explosion. It was carefully designed and orchestrated by a higher power, a Creator who holds everything together. When we look up at the night sky and see the countless stars and galaxies stretching out into infinity, we cannot help but be in awe of the sheer magnitude and beauty of it all. The heavens declare the glory of God, as it says in the Bible, and remind us of the greatness of the one who made it all. The theory of the Big Bang, which posits that the universe began as a singular point and expanded over billions of years, is a flawed explanation for the origin of the universe. It fails to account for the intricate design and order that we see in the cosmos, as well as the existence of life on earth. The marvel of our planet Earth, with its perfect conditions for sustaining life, points to a Creator who had a purpose and a plan in mind when he made it. The countless galaxies and stars that we observe in the universe are a testament to the power and creativity of God. They show us that we are part of a vast and wondrous creation, one that was made by an intelligent designer who had a vision for it all. The theory of evolution, put forth by Charles Darwin, is another flawed explanation for the diversity of life on earth. It fails to explain the intricate complexities of living organisms and their unique design, as well as the existence of the human soul. It is clear that we are not the product of blind chance or random mutations, but rather the handiwork of a loving and powerful Creator. “The truth of the origin of the universe” points to a Creator who holds everything together and has a purpose and a plan for it all. God stretches out the heavens and allows light to reach us here on earth, showing us his care and provision for his creation. We are not the product of random chance or blind evolution, but rather the cherished creation of a loving God who made us in his image. Let us never forget the marvel and wonder of the universe, and the greatness of the one who made it all.

Pages : 352
Book Description
The topic of undeserving credit given to the Big Bang and UFOs is a controversial one, with many people having strong opinions on the matter. While both the Big Bang theory and the existence of UFOs have been widely accepted, the author argues that they are given too much credit and recognition without sucient evidence to support their claims. The Big Bang theory is widely accepted as the most plausible explanation for the origin of the universe. Some critics argue that it is not the only possible explanation for the universe's origins. Some alternative theories, such as the steady-state theory or the oscillating universe theory, have been proposed as alternatives to the Big Bang theory. Similarly, the existence of UFOs is a topic that has been hotly debated for decades. While there have been countless reports of UFO sightings and encounters, there is a lack of concrete evidence to support the existence of extraterrestrial visitors. While the Big Bang theory and UFOs may be popular topics in popular culture, it is important to approach them with a critical eye and to consider the evidence before giving them undeserving credit.

Religion, Supernaturalism, the Paranormal and Pseudoscience
Author: Homayun Sidky
Publisher: Anthem Press
ISBN: 1785271636
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 520
Book Description
"Religion, Supernaturalism, the Paranormal, and Pseudoscience" provides a comprehensive rejoinder to the challenges posed to science, scientific anthropology, evolutionary theory and rationality by the advocates of supernatural, paranormal, and pseudoscientific perspectives and modes of thought associated with the current rise of irrationalism, antiintellectualism, and emboldened religious fundamentalism and violence. Drawing upon H. Sidky’s scientific anthropological background and ethnographic field research of supernatural and paranormal beliefs and practices in several cultures over three decades, the book answers several important questions: Why do humans have a proclivity for the supernatural and paranormal thinking? Why has humanity remained shackled to sets of ideas inherited from a violent past that have no basis in reality and which bestow an illusionary solace, promote bloodshed, endless cruelties and fervent hatreds, and have come at a high cost? Why have ancient superstitions been held as sacred, inviolate truths while other aspects of the archaic belief systems of which they were a part have long been discarded? Why have not humans outgrown religion and paranormal beliefs?

The Eye of Ra

Book Description
“…a large planet stood above the North Pole for a very long time.” That is what all the mythology throughout the world uniformly states. Mythology from every nation, region, tribe, and period, in thousands of languages, in hundreds of forms, from every continent; they all resound, “a large planet stood above the North Pole for a very long time.” Every country is accounted for except those located more than 10 degrees below the equator. The mythology of regions as far removed from each other as Siberia, North Africa, and Guatemala all agree. As others have indicated, I will also suggest that this planet was Saturn and that Saturn was initially a brown dwarf star that created Earth, Mars and later Venus. In order to put the story into context, I will make it abundantly clear that the framework will be based upon plasma physics and the existence of the aether. The Solvay Conference, founded by the Belgian industrialist Ernest Solvay in 1912, was considered a turning point in the world of physics. Located in Brussels, the conferences were devoted to outstanding open problems in both physics and chemistry. The most famous conference was the October 1927 Fifth Solvay International Conference on Electrons and Photons, where the world’s most so-called notable physicists met to discuss the newly formulated quantum theory. The leading figures were Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. “Settled Science” and “Consensus Science” began at this time and it is also the moment we stopped doing real physics in the 20th and 21st centuries. The bold theoretical and experimental era of physics, by the likes of Maxwell, at the very dawn of science, as we know it, ended abruptly at the start of the 20th Century. That was when our currently accepted, and very different, view of “physics”, everything from the “Big Bang” Expanding Universe Cosmology, to Relativistic limitations imposed by “flat” space and non-simultaneous time, complicated by a non-intuitive “Quantum Mechanics” of suddenly uncertain atomic “realities”, all took a very different turn from where they had been headed. The quantum theory discarded the basic physics principle of cause followed by effect. Einstein was disenchanted with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and created his own fatal damage when his “thought experiment” made-up the theory of relativity. He isolated his arbitrary observer from the rest of the universe, discarded the absolute standards of length and time, invented an imaginary proper clock that does not exist, removed the aether, and the effect of gravity became an illusion. Make sure you understand this was not done using any scientific method, i.e., observation, experimentation and replication, but by what became known as a “thought experiment”. Einstein should have kept his day job in the post office, as he has set physics, the so-called Queen of the Sciences back 100 years. This conference was also the culmination of the struggle between Einstein and the scientific realists, who wanted strict rules of scientific method as laid out by Charles Peirce and Karl Popper, versus Bohr and the instrumentalists, who wanted looser rules based on ‘expected’ outcomes, regardless of causes and effects. Starting at this point, the instrumentalists won, instrumentalism having been seen as the norm ever since. And that has been the insurmountable problem with science ever since, the loss of the scientific method and accepting causes without effects and conversely. These are all unforgivable losses to the great physicists of the past. We were propelled nearly 2,000 years into past to the Greek Ptolemaic era when geometric symmetry and mathematical beauty dictated that endless the ad-hoc epicycles be added to perfect circular planetary orbits in order to match appearances. That dogma lasted almost 1500 years. How long will we allow relativity dogma and its taboos to persist? It should be no surprise that since that fateful conference in 1927, science has failed to produce any fundamental breakthroughs anything like the 19th century, when some of the finest experimental physicists, such as Ampere, Gauss, Faraday, and Maxwell were discovering the secrets of electricity and electromagnetism. The electric universe and plasma physics and cosmology follows the lead of these experimenting electrical pioneers. According, I will also discard the “thought experiments” of Einstein and defer to real scientists, namely Tesla, Maxwell, Thornhill, and others, who long ago recognized that all perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, of a tenuity beyond conception and filling all space, the Akasha, or luminiferous aether, which is acted upon by the life-giving Prana or creative force, calling into existence, in never ending cycles, all things and phenomena. This primary substance, thrown into infinitesimal whirls of prodigious velocity, becomes gross matter; the force subsiding, the motion ceases and matter disappears, reverting to the primary substance. The structure and nature is most likely a vortex, appearing like a donut from above or below. What I will attempt to present to you in the book, is the real story of our history and the real fact that we, and the universe and everything in it, is electric in nature. I will present facts and evidence that demonstrate that all religions, mystery schools, the Bible, and other religious books are nothing more than a rewritten and edited story of a solar system wide cataclysm. A story that was written, rewritten and edited to make it appear that Jewish people were the ‘Chosen People of God’, We will see that all the pyramids, especially those on the Giza Plateau were built as an energy gathering, converting and storing machines to try to save the Earth and Mankind from the electromagnetic perturbations caused by the Sirius System (the Sun’s binary twin) that occurs approximately every 24,000 years. The Great Pyramid was not a weapon, and certainly not a death star used to explode planets. There has been no atomic wars on Earth and no landings by ‘alien’ beings on Earth, nor on any other planet in our solar system. There is no Planet X and there is no Nibiru. The so-called ‘Planet of the Crossing’ is actually the star Sirius, the Sun’s binary twin. We will see that all the five visible planets, Saturn, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus and the two luminaries, the Moon and our current Sun, became the Gods, with several of them, coming down to Earth from the Heavens to write our history only a few thousand years ago. We will also see and understand that the vast amount of cratering and channels on all of the planets in our solar system are not the result of random meteor or comet strikes, wind or water erosion, but are the results of electrical arcing between planets that has scarred the surface of the planets and has been demonstrated and replicated, in exact detail, in plasma laboratories. We will examine the Exodus, within the context of the Earth in upheaval from a natural solar system-wide cataclysm, and how Akhenaton, Moses and the Ark are main characters in the event. We will also examine Mount Sinai and its real identity and location, as well as, the Sacred Stone(s), its use, who stole them, and why. This story does not depend on miracles or faith, but is based upon evidence, both ancient and current. It is our genuine history that has been kept from us in order to maintain control by those in power. If you can not see the truth in this story and you want to believe in religions or the current false, consensus or settled ‘science’, you must believe them in one of three ways: by faith; by ignorance; or by indoctrination: by faith, because you cannot believe something which does not have adequate scientific evidence except as a philosophical viewpoint; by ignorance, because the only way to be certain in your mind that these theories could work, is because you do not have all the facts; or, if you have been so far indoctrinated you have not made a logical conclusion with your own rational mind, you may have never even tried to question what you have been told to believe. You must decide for yourself what you will believe. If you decide to believe in today’s biblical religious myths or “consensus and settled pseudoscience of the quackademics and media”, that is fine, just realize that none are supported by true science using the Scientific Method. They are myths, and not even good ones, at that. Just remember, believing this nonsense and everything else the ‘authorities’ say is just what they want, i.e., no change in the status quo and leave the thinking to them.

Alberta's Lower Athabasca Basin tells a fascinating story of how a catastrophic ice age flood left behind a unique landscape in the Lower Athabasca Basin, one that made deposits of bitumen available for surface mining. Less well known is the discovery that this flood also produced an environment that supported perhaps the most intensive use of boreal forest resources by prehistoric Native people yet recognized in Canada. Studies undertaken to meet the conservation requirements of the Alberta Historical Resources Act have yielded a rich and varied record of prehistoric habitation and activity in the oil sands area. Evidence from between 9,500 and 5,000 years ago—the result of several major excavations—has confirmed extensive human use of the region’s resources, while important contextual information provided by key geological and palaeoenvironmental studies has deepened our understanding of how the region’s early inhabitants interacted with the landscape. Touching on various elements of this rich environmental and archaeological record, the contributors to this volume use the evidence gained through research and compliance studies to offer new insights into human and natural history. They also examine the challenges of managing this irreplaceable heritage resource in the face of ongoing development. Contributors: Alwynne Beaudoin, Angela Younie, Brian O.K. Reeves, Duane Froese, Elizabeth Roberston, Eugene Gryba, Gloria Fedirchuk, Grant Clarke, John W. Ives, Janet Blakey, Jennifer Tischer, Jim Burns, Laura Roskowski, Luc Bouchet, Murray Lobb, Nancy Saxberg, Raymond LeBlanc, Robert R. Young, Robin Woywitka, Thomas V. Lowell, and Timothy Fisher
