Things Are Not as They Seem: How science, philosophy, and history, particularly modern physics, are leading us back to the Bible in our search for ultimate truth

Description:In the interest of brevity, please allow me to state the premises and some of the conclusions of this book as though they are proven. Christianity is intellectually sound and logical and is the Answer to our ultimate questions. Faith in the God of the Bible is a crucial entity which one can have for entirely rational reasons. It can be defined in several valid ways, e.g. it's being a sense with which one can see beyond space-time and the only sense we will possess after death. Humanity has no knowledge other than math and ethical axioms, such that even scientists must depend upon belief, essentially indistinguishable from faith (necessary for highway travel). The Gospel of Jesus Christ is beautiful and simple; such elegance is nearly synonymous with truth, and simplicity and correctness are almost inseparable. Science, particularly Relativity and quantum mechanics, along with cosmology, philosophy, and history, are disciplines which support the validity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Mind is primary in our universe and beyond, subordinating matter, force, space and time. Matter is no more substantial than is mathematics, and math is a product of mind. Christianity is unique among religions and much easier to defend than they in terms of apologetics. We have nothing without eternal life, and no other faith offers this as convincingly as does Christianity. Jesus also uniquely emphasized love, the strongest force in the world, through which Christianity conquered the Roman Empire. Stupendous odds militate against the views that everything came into being by chance and that evolution could have taken place without intelligent direction. Science cannot rule out the existence of a timeless realm, and modern physics makes its reality easy to feature. Relativity renders both space and time illusory, and quantum electrodynamics suggests that elemental particles are continually popping in and out of space-time. Relativity also emphasizes the unique nature of light (and other electromagnetic waves), suggesting that it is not confined by space-time, and the New Testament characterizes Jesus as "the Light." (It also refers to Jesus as the Word of God, the "Logos," and this word in ancient Greek meant "rational accounting." He is wisdom itself.) Cosmology posits the existence of parallel universes, which are no less fantastic than thoughts of heaven. Because it would have to desert its main premise, causation, in order to do so, science can never find the Prime Mover, and attempts to explain the origin of the universe without resort to God are much more fantastic than are those of theology/the Bible. Scientific deliberations inevitably arrive at the existence of God. The characteristics we would expect an ideal God to have are those of the God of the Bible, particularly as He appears in the New Testament. Jesus is He whose personality and teachings best fit our ideas concerning what God would most likely be like as a human, and He had more influence on the history of western civilization than any other person of all times; even entire peoples and cultures cannot rival Him in this respect. This is of course just what we would expect to be the case if the true God came to us as a man. The history of the Jews is utterly unique, as we would expect re God's chosen people, and our newspaper headlines often reflect their validity as such as well as the truth of their prophets. In seeking the most profound truths, we must think big and timelessly because the answers to the deepest questions we can ask lie beyond space-time. Socrates and Plato realized that things are not as they seem and that it is our minds, not our senses, that are capable of revealing ultimate reality. They also believed in a purposeful universe and an absolute code of ethics established by God.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
