Predators: Evidence of Morality

In the animal world, predation is a normal, useful, necessary function, to keep a balance in nature.

When a lion takes down a gazelle, she is doing what her nature instinctively calls her to do. She is not evil. She is not bad.

When a shark eats a victim, it is just acting on natural instincts, to live.

Even a domestic cat, fully fed, will catch, torment, and kill a mouse.

Male lions will kill cubs.. even their own, if the female does not protect them. 

The top predators are killing machines, and excel at what they do, with no sting of conscience. 

Human beings are the most feared and vicious predators in the natural world. Hunters in every society are honored for their skill in providing sustenance for their families, or taking out a predator that eats us.

We even kill each other..  not for food, but for turf, tribal loyalty, dominance, or philosophical reasons. Humans are the most vicious, cunning, and efficient killing machines out there, even harnessing tools and technology to aid us in our goal of killing others.

But for some reason, we have a moral sense.. a conscience that restrains us from whimsically killing just anyone. Other natural predators do not seem to have this phenomenon of conscience. Just us.

If this were a godless universe of jungle law, where 'might makes right!', and the fittest survive, Humans would not only approve of predation for advancement, but it would be the Highest Virtue. The more ruthless and cunning would be elevated as Human role models, advancing the human race to survive and prosper above all other animals. We'd take out any competition, man or beast, in our natural quest to be the best. There would be no sting of conscience.  Conscience would be a human construct, to weaken and manipulate others. A godless universe has no will or moral standards to embed in us, if it could.

But the Creator could, and evidently, did, infuse within us a conscience.. a moral compass to guide our choices.  We can violate it (and do!), but it is still there,  reminding us, with some discomfort, that we fall short of those inner moral standards we feel instinctively. 

Even in a justifiable situation of killing: war, criminal deterrence, justice.. we take no pleasure in it. Soldiers do their duty, but many are scarred by the process.

Even killing other animals for no reason is considered 'bad!', and some societies have laws to prevent the wanton killing of animals. 

Human beings are not just animal predators. There is something else in them, suggesting a Higher Call.. a Higher Purpose. There is a Soul, linked to the conscience, that reminds us we are not just beasts, to kill and be killed, but we reflect the Divine. We were created for a Higher Purpose. 

The evidence of a moral compass and the conscience are compelling facts that can only suggest the Creator. These (and hundreds of other such facts) overwhelmingly suggest a creation event, not atheistic naturalism,  as our origins.

Only by constant propaganda and state indoctrination has the obvious reality of the Creator been doubted. Deceivers and agenda driven ideologues pound the drum of atheistic naturalism,  until the hapless dupes of indoctrination close their minds, nod like bobbleheads, and gullibly believe the lie, that divides us from our Maker. 

Don't be a fool. Don't be deceived by the lies from this world. Your Creator IS. Seek Him and be reconciled, while you can.

"Naturalism is Science! The Creator is Religion!"

"Naturalism is Science! The Creator is Religion!"

This is the assumption behind all the laws banning creationism in public schools, and the state establishment of Naturalism as The Official Religious Belief. Since the 1960s, courts have become increasingly hostile toward religious liberty and freedom of conscience,  and have mandated Naturalism as the ONLY POSSIBILITY, for origins.

There are two, and ONLY TWO possibilities for origins:

1. Naturalism 

2. Intelligent Design 

Every possibility for origins is covered by this dichotomy. I have summarized them with a pop jeer commonly used by naturalists:

1. Goddidit!

2. Nuthindidit!

Science is a method of discovery, but it makes no conclusions or extrapolations about the data it presents. Humans do that; ..biased, agenda driven, proselytizing humans, eager to control and manipulate others, or profit in some way by religious chicanery. 

Using pseudoscience, techno babble, and bluff, these religious zealots have used human institutions to promote THEIR religious beliefs about the nature of the universe, AND used the power of the state to bully, censor, and ban the only competing ideology to Naturalism:

 Creationism

They promote the belief, often and loudly, like typical propagandists:

"Naturalism is Science! The Creator is Religion!"

This phrase has become The Mantra, chanted by indoctrinees of state propaganda. But it is bad science, bad logic, and bad theology, all blended together to promote the greatest deception of the modern age:

Naturalism

There are three pillars of naturalistic origins: 

1. The Big Bang: Origin of the cosmos

2. Abiogenesis: Origin of life

3. Common Ancestry: Origin of species 

All three of these form the Trinity of Naturalism, the 3 tenets of faith that True Believers must accept, to avoid the wrath of the High Priests, and other Enforcers of the Sacred Tenets of Faith.

But all 3 of these beliefs have NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE, that they can occur, or did occur. They are speculations.. tribal origins myths, with no empirical basis. 

Most people are shocked..  SHOCKED, i say, when the religious belief of naturalism is exposed.  It is because the Mantra is ringing in their memory, and the triggers installed by state ideologues immediately begin the chant:

"Naturalism is Science! A Creator is Religion!"

..until the doubts settle, and the comforting assurance of submission to the High Priests of naturalism returns them to the fold.

Naturalism is NOT SCIENCE. It is a belief..  a religious belief about the nature of the universe. It is only by redefinition, not logic or actual science,  that these absurd conjectures are labeled, 'Science!'  

Positing a Creator.. Intelligent Design,  is no more 'religious!', than positing naturalism. The actual facts support the model of Creationism much better than the model of naturalism. You heard that right. The opposite is 'taught' by state indoctrination centers, but it is a lie, to divide you from your money, your freedom, and your Maker. 

Don't take my word for it.  Research the facts..  not in naturalism echo chambers or propaganda reinforcement venues..  you will only get repetition of the Mantra, there.

Venues like this still allow alternate ideas..  open inquiry.. into alternate beliefs censored by state bureaucrats. 

Why be a dupe to state sponsored propaganda? Why risk your eternal soul for a lie? Open your mind. Seek Truth, not confirmation. Recognize the triggers of anger, hatred, and outrage, used to frighten you back to the intellectual wasteland of naturalism. 

The Creator IS. There is not a more obvious Truth in this universe.  All the facts.. ALL the data..  ALL the SCIENCE, screams, 'CREATOR!!'

Don't be a fool. Brain dead lemmings follow lies over a logical cliff. Use your mind for something other than storing state propaganda.

Symptoms of Indoctrination: Engineered Stupidity

 Engineered Stupidity 


Indoctrination is when ideologues ingrain lies, half truths, spin, and conjecture into people. The propagandists prefer young people, as they are easier to mold and shape into the lumps they desire. Propaganda is repeated loudly and often, forming irrational concepts with ear tickling possibility, dazzling techno babble, and mystical claims of 'deep insight!'


Historically and currently, indoctrination is used by power hungry controllers. They need the loyalty, fealty, devotion, and self sacrifice of people, to kill and die for the manipulator's beliefs. Jihadists are promised guaranteed paradise, if they die in a holy war against infidels. Kamikaze pilots also believed that they would receive great honor in the afterlife, aligning themselves with the 'Divine Wind' of self sacrifice. 


State devotion and Nationalism is more than loyalty to a geographic location. An ideology.. a religion.. is also used to pump up the faithful to kill and die for the 'Cause'.


The prevailing religious belief that is indoctrinated now, in the post Christian West, is Naturalism. A combination of Marxism and Darwinism form the basis of this belief, which is indoctrinated by agenda driven ideologues. Almost every state institution is controlled by these ideologues, who pound the drum of naturalism, censoring and banning any mention of the diametrically opposed ideology:


The Creator 


Marxism advanced throughout the 20th century, indoctrinating the belief that self sacrifice for the collective was the Highest Virtue. A 'New Man!' was the goal, that Party leaders could help evolve, by rewarding loyalty to the Party, and ..eliminating.. inferior throwbacks of bourgeois capitalism. A purely materialistic worldview formed the basis for this ideology. No God. No afterlife. No purpose other that self sacrifice for the collective. The 'Divine Wind' that True Believers can kill and die for is Naturalism. The jihad is for a collective utopia, that Naturalism will produce, if the remnants of superstition and the 'opiate of the masses!' can be eliminated. 


Millions of people were ..purged.. by marxist ideologues.. Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro, Guevara, and many more tried with deadly seriousness to evolve this 'new man!'


This same marxist ideology, combined with the naturalistic beliefs in Darwinism, form the basis for state indoctrination,  now. Loyalty to the state is the primary goal, not acknowledging the Creator.. not Natural Law.. not the American Ideal born in the Enlightenment. 


Young and old are indoctrinated by a constant propaganda stream from state controlled institutions. They are ingrained with triggered hatred for anything relating to the Creator, and especially Christianity, which is their mortal enemy. 


Violent acts are increasing, as the hatred for traditional Christian values, devotion to God, and a Spiritual worldview are demonized and blamed for the evils caused by naturalism. 


I have called this naturalistic worldview 'Atheistic Naturalism', but it is redundant.  Godlessness is assumed, under the banner of naturalism. Oh, you can believe in a god, if you want, but it is a toothless god, not the Almighty Creator of the universe. The gods of naturalism are impotent, sadistic, powerless, and mostly just pace about in some cosmic dimension, wringing their hands, wishing people would believe in them, and be nice.  That is all the gods of Naturalism expect, if you need a god to believe in.


State indoctrination has been part of the human experience for millennia. Every generation; Every State; Every power hungry manipulator makes nationalistic, ideological, and religious appeals, to build a loyal base of followers who will kill and die for the Cause.


Atheistic Naturalism is the majority worldview, that state controllers indoctrinate, now. Almost every country, now, has naturalism as the mandated belief, established by law, and pounded into young people from infancy. 


Western civilization,  especially,  has abandoned its Judeo/Christian roots, born of the reformation, igniting the Enlightenment and the scientific revolution, and forming the basis of the American Experiment. 


Loyalty to the State is the Highest Virtue, in the naturalistic worldview. Submission and obedience are demanded, not Reason; not critical thinking; not scientific methodology; not skepticism.


Could you be a victim, or product of State indoctrination? 


How could you NOT be?


Do you think that the propaganda from state ideologues may be lies? Perhaps it is designed to divide you from your Maker,  not build a utopia on earth?  Perhaps it is a continuation of defiance toward the Creator, with man as his own god?


Don't be a dupe to State indoctrination. Don't be fooled by the propaganda and lies, streaming constantly from these manipulators. Your Creator IS. Break free from the fog of state manipulation, anti-Creator propaganda, and seek reconciliation with your Maker. Wake up! Your soul is in mortal danger! Why should you die in ignorance and engineered stupidity? Seek your Creator. Get to know Him, through the Mediator He has provided.  There is nothing more important.

Symptoms of Indoctrination: Censorship

 Censorship 


One of the great principles that was championed during the Reformation was freedom of conscience.  Human beings should be free, the reformer's argued, to follow their consciences. The Enlightenment philosophers carried that principle through until it was codified into the American Experiment. 


Freedom.. ..of thought, expression, belief.  The American state was NOT tasked with promoting, defending or establishing ANY particular worldview, but was tasked with PROTECTING the freedoms of the citizens to believe and express themselves without fear of retribution.


That is no longer in effect. The state,  in most of western civilization, now establishes the religious belief of atheistic naturalism, and censors any public suggestion of Christianity and the Creator. Bullying, banning, and retribution is what any who dare challenge this evil of humanity face.


There is a war against Christianity raging in the world's systems. The state is all in to bully the citizens to divert any acknowledgment of God to them. THEY are the source of freedom, morality, and justice, not God.  Worship the State, not some ancient superstition.


Indoctrinees of the State are programmed to attack any people or worldview that threatens their monopoly. 


"Christians should be seen, not heard!"


"Christians who speak their beliefs are proselytizing,  and should be silenced!"


"Christians should let their actions speak, not their voices.  Be nice, and shut up!"


"You can believe whatever you want..  but you can only express it if it aligns with the Approved State Belief.. you know, science!"


These are current memes burning through the current public discourse, but they are only expressions of bullying and censorship.


The indoctrination of the state mandated belief in atheistic naturalism is THE most deadly lie in human history. It divides people from their money, their countrymen, and their Maker. It is a deadly poison to your soul.


Agenda driven ideologues wormed their way into positions of power, and used that power to promote this anti-human worldview, and CENSOR any expression of acknowledging the Creator. 


Don't be a dupe to this deception!  Use you mind, and ask the Creator to free you from the snares of this world's deceptions.  This is not some mental exercise of amusement, or benign choice of harmless opinions, but is The Most Important decision you could ever make.

Evidence for the Creator: Birth

 "We are born wet, naked, and hungry. Then things get worse." ~unknown 

Few people can remember the trauma of birth.  There you were:  Warm. Comfortable. Safe. The rhythmic beating of your mother's heart keeping you protected and secure. You were fed well, and there was nothing to do but grow.


Then, for no reason, your own mother, who had cared for you selflessly to that point, starts pushing you out.. rejected for no reason, pushed, pulled, things attached to your head, and strange voices disturbing the calm security that had been home these many months. There were cold hands groping you, pulling your limbs, dashing the environment you thought was safe.


Its no wonder we block that out! Traumatized at such a tender age, unable to reason or process this new information, we are gripped with terror and anguish, at this unsettling turn of events. 


Why is this happening? What is going on?  Strange sensations overwhelm us. Air fills our lungs, and we cry out, involuntarily, at this rude disturbance of our peaceful existence.


For most of us, there was the comfortable reassurance of that heart.. beating rhythmically. Familiar. Soothing. Something good was put near our lips, and an instinctive action, that no one taught us, brought something else good, to our ever hungry stomachs.


This was our origin..  our beginning.. our first encounter with the material universe. It was confusing, traumatic, terrifying. It takes most of us years..  decades..  to recover from this trauma, and some never do.


Why did this happen? Where were we? How did we suddenly come to be, unaware of ourselves from eternity past?


Years go by. Our questions get glib, unsatisfactory answers. Some people claim to know, with dogmatic certainty, how and why we are. Some of us are grilled and browbeaten with fantastic stories, called 'science!', or 'religion!', or 'philosophy!' We learn to not ask questions, as a barrage of questionable information spews forth.  Shrieking witch doctors,  waving their arms, and chanting gibberish, frightened and bully us to believe the origins myth that belongs to our tribe.


But there is something in our roots.. something or Someone, that calls to us, in the quiet of reflection.  We can't quite remember.. we can't quite perceive it, or reason it out, but an ..inkling.. a primal awareness haunts us.. calling.. drawing.. beckoning us, to return to our Source.


We long to reunite with eternity, and a hole in our souls belies the bravado and smug confidence we project to others.. (mostly so we don't have to listen to their boring diatribes!)


But there is an ache.. an enduring emptiness, that no thing can fill. Oh, we try.. toys, sensory pleasures, mind altering substances.. mind bending ideas.   ANYTHING, to tittlate the senses, and distract us from the unknown, but they don't reacquaint us with our Source. A gnawing hunger stays with us, in spite of our self assurance or the wishful thinking of familiar propaganda. 


For a few.. a very few, it seems, there is Contact. The Source is revealed. The darkness of confusion and uncertainty explodes with blinding Light. Our Maker appears to us, and the spiritual dimension we had an inkling of suddenly unfolds before us.  Our souls are reborn, and our minds are blown by this dramatic encounter with the Almighty Creator of the universe. 


We were born to live in harmony with our Maker. He is our Source, and the reason for existence. In this world, there is constant Noise.. conflicting ideas, lies, propaganda, agenda driven ideologues pushing a narrative.. but in the quiet of eternity.. in the still, small voice we almost remember from birth, a Remembrance occurs. The inkling is affirmed. The Creator reveals Himself. 


Don't let the noise of this world distract you from your eternal soul. Draw near to your Creator, and seek Him in quietness and sober reflection. He has provided a Way.. a pathway to return to Him, your Maker. The Savior, the God/man Jesus, has atoned for your sins, and opened the doorway to reconciliation. 


Don't take my word for it. Don't believe anything second or third hand. You must engage your Maker yourself.. you cannot ride the coattails of another.  But don't be deceived by the lies and spin in this world. They are designed to deceive and separate you from your Creator. 


The Creator IS. Seek Him while you can.

Fallacies of Naturalism: Shrieking Witch Doctors

There is a phenomenon in the human experience,  where a class of people set themselves apart from others due to 'Heightened Awareness!', 'Divine Appointment!', or 'Elevated Knowledge and Intelligence!'  Every human group has these people, who claim exclusive insight into the mysteries of the universe.  The rest of society is supposed to fear and revere these spokespersons of Metaphysical Mystery.


They may have bones through their noses, wear lab coats, or have other specific identifiers, that distinguish them as part of this elite class.  Gifts and support are expected, for these guardians of universal mystery. 


Every tribe. Every people group. Every ethnicity has these Shamen, Gurus, Witch Doctors, Priests, Medicine men, Professors, Scientists, and Holy men. They live apart from the unwashed masses, in ivory towers, or someplace conducive to the air of mystery and privilege they present. They are entitled, and expect to be lavished with luxury.


They prefer flowing robes, to identify them as the elite, and to emphasize the distinction between them and the common man. They pursue advancement through whatever system is in effect, whether governmental, academic, or religious.


The current Witch Doctors,  that demand our reverence and support, are entrenched in academia, or taxpayer funded research. They still wave their arms, shriek out impending doom, and intimidate the citizens through Dreads and Ominous warnings. They present confident omniscience, and pretend Special Insight, masking it in techno babble gibberish. 


They co-opt the language of 'science!', but they do not follow scientific methodology. They rule by decree, and claim Authority, not Reason.


Do not be fooled by shrieking witch doctors, and their quivering enablers. They want your worship, your devotion, and your money. They will only divide you from your Maker.  They are agenda driven ideologues, and enemies of your soul. Don't be deceived by their mystical and ominous presence.


“Little science takes you away from God but more of it takes you to Him.” ~Louis Pasteur


“I believe that the more thoroughly science is studied, the further does it take us from anything comparable to atheism.”

“If you study science deep enough and long enough, it will force you to believe in God.” —Lord William Kelvin

Evidence for the Creator: Gullible Fools

The existence of gullible fools is evidence of the Creator, and a spiritual realm.


This world is full of con men, scammers, charlatans,  and fakes, eager to fool people for some agenda or advantage. Some live in ivory towers and wear flowing robes, others wear funny hats, frightening masks, or have bones through their noses. Throughout history,  they have made up wild stories, to explain our origins, with highly imaginative, but plausible scenarios that follow, logically, if you accept their assumptions. 


The current tribal origins myth, promoted by modern day witch doctors, is no exception. They spin fantastic tales, with made up terminology that dazzles the hearers with tittlating possibility.


'Expansion!' 

'Primordial ooze!'

'Allele Frequency!'

'Spontaneous Order!'

'Cosmic Microwave Background!'

'Millions and billions of years!'


..and many other techno babble terms are tossed about, undefined and unevidenced, yet asserted with Absolute Certainty, to grip the hearer with awe and reverence at the amazing Knowledge and insight these Shamen possess. 


Gullible fools, eager to evade their Creator,  eat it like candy. Nodding like bobbleheads, they buy everything these shrieking witch doctors sell, abandoning Reason, Science,  and common sense. 


'A massive cosmic explosion made the stars, orbits, and precision that you can set your watch by!'


'Life spontaneously began when rocks got bombarded by spectral waves!'


'Living things evolve in increasing complexity! An amoeba became a man, spontaneously!'


The absurdity of atheistic naturalism exposes the mass deception that has defined this age.  Gullible fools, descend to madness and folly, their minds twisted until the most absurd assertions are embraced without question.


Skepticism dies.

Reason is lost.

Science is abandoned for superstition. 


They accuse the very thing that hold them in it's grip: Delusion


This is the unfortunate consequence of rejecting the Creator. 'Professing to be wise, they become fools.'  Sanity and critical thinking begins to fade, when you try to evade your Maker.


Reason  turns to Madness. Lies becomes facts.


Don't be a dupe to the lies and deceptions that fill this world. Listen. Hear the still, small voice of your Creator, beconing you back to Him. Wake up!  The lies of this world have gripped you in a delusion, and you need Divine Assistance to escape!  Call on your Maker. Plead for deliverance. Don't follow these charlatans and quacks down the highway to hell,  but turn away, repent, and find Peace in your Creator. 


There is NOTHING  more important. Your eternal soul needs your mind to think.. to choose life. Do it. NOW.
