    God Almighty is so powerful.. To the level that He is the source of all POWER exists in the seen and unseen universe. He is so powerful at the same time His attributes are perfect and free from all defects and error.

    The cat, I think, is much closer to the truth.. turns out our Universe didn't begin with a bang.. or begin at all.. it's the very definition of the word eternal... Richard Feynman won the Nobel Prize in 1965 for his Quantum Electrodynamics.. his work on A Einstein's photo electric effect.. Dr Feynman also believed the Universe began some finite time in the past.. despite much evidence to the contrary.. if one doesn't teach BB theory, one does not teach physics in America.. it's not government approved.. so.. my father taught reactor theory after trying to blow up evil east Germans and Poles.. and I started looking at Feynman's math.. one of the first stories I heard was that he had to "re-normalize" his dataset to make the math work.. whatever re- normalization is.. it's a little outside the standard practice for statistical analysis of data that appears to be skewed by having too many of one type, and not enough to different data to get accurate information.. I started wondering about that, and I pulled up the information and looked at his work.. and listened to all the lectures available on KZread.. his family publishes his lectures as a public service.. he was an outstanding teacher.. and I figured out why his numbers didn't work.. when we start from a premise that is absolutely wrong.. it skews the data.. like trying to balance a bb on a ball.. you can't determine which way it will fall.. so I have been using an infinite Universe as the starting point.. the unwanted infinities disappeared.. and the rest of his work became crystal clear.. one of the most ignored bit of science in the 50s and early 60s was a theory proposed in 57 I think.. that at the Planck length level. 10 - ³⁵.. many orders of magnitude smaller than a single proton.. .. when the guys before solid state electronics watched particles, they used a cloud chamber.. a mist of alcohol vapor in super cold closed container.. my brother built one for his 7th grade science project.. and we can see.. just sitting on the bench, stuff whizzing past.. big ones, small ones, curly ones, straight. Up down and sideways.. and it was a mystery where they came from.. because some came from the ground.. some from the sky.. which.. if you think about an explosion.. things don't go in all directions, except right in the middle... Feynman Diagrams help visualize these particles and their interactions.. but he doesn't actually explain why they do it.. and people said.. in 65.. we need a Unified Field theory... and they continue to chase after the BB theory, despite finding the expansion of our Universe is apparently accelerating.. which is exactly like throwing a ball and watching it accelerating away from your hand.. clearly impossible.. new science they cried.. I went back to a proposed "quantum foam" that was experimentally verified in 64.. at the Planck length level vacuum is not empty.. these sub quark particles pop in and out of existence continuously all around us all the time... but Feynman used spheres.. which is why he couldn't find out why they do what they do.. and the first electron microscope in 64 verified his conclusion.. he could see little spheres.. that's what he put in his calculations.. came up with an idea.. a hypothesis, that a hydrogen atom is composed of 2 up quarks and a down quark.. they were blasting protons down a linear particle accelerator and watching the result with a cloud chamber at the target end... so he mapped the demise of a proton and counted two larger bits and a much smaller bit.. .. but we figured out the atom has smaller units that have opposite charges.. and they created a complicated 3 part charge where the smallest bit balanced the 2 larger bits.. the additional mathematics of fractal mathematics did not come along until the late 70s.. and Feynman couldn't make it all fit together, he saw the similarities between galaxies and solar systems and atoms.. we all do, I think.. fractal mathematics describes our Universe, fractals are self similar shapes at all scales... Mandelbrot gave us fractal mathematics.. and along with the Fibonacci sequence.. it explains all of this stuff.. in a very Unified Field Theory.. no normalization.. and no doubts.. because this view allows me to make accurate predictions about the real world.. things like.. the Fibonacci sequence governs the growth of all populations.. including atoms.. and the Planck length.. our smallest measure of our Universe.. 1.6169 × 10 - ³⁵... 1.6169 is the number we use for the Golden Ratio.. the quotient of consecutive Fibonacci sequence numbers.. 00, 00, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.. ad Infinitum .. each number is the sum of the previous two.. a guy not named Fibonacci was asked by the pope in the 12th century to look into population growth.. definitely not new information at our level, the first element beyond U238 with 92 proton electron pairs. Neptunium 93.. very short half life, then Pu244.. plutonium.. 94 protons.. I have been working with the stuff so I didn't have to look up the numbers, and I divided 94/150. The number of neutrons.. 1.5 to 1.7.. 1.5 only occurs once 2/3.. = 1.5.. each iteration brings a slightly different ratio.. it varies between (> 1.5 & , then we start to make sense of everything.. the ratio for the growth of a plutonium atom is 1.5957446809 Neptunium is 93 proton electron pairs with 144 neutrons.. it's a nice round real Fibonacci sequence number.. (more later on the number) .. 1.5483870968.. 93/144.. lets look up the numbers Neptunium: Total life expectancy just over 31,000 years.. Plutonium has a half life of 80,000,000 years.. it's easier to compare in scientific notation 3.1 × 10³ 8 × 10⁷.. a lot more stable ☆☆ Top to bottom.. and that's just the beginning.. gravity and the various constituents of our Universe are also included.. it's not magic.. it's the way numbers, and things, fit together When you hear someone saying they have scientific information... if you don't see the math.. it's not science The most important part of this.. is we don't need "new" science.. we need to reexamine the old stuff to see what we missed.. it's not necessary that it be government approved.. it's science.. science is all about measuring the Universe we live in.. measuring means numbers.. numbers don't lie Our Universe grows along the Fibonacci sequence, as all populations do.. through the auspices of quantum foam.. which creates new hydrogen continuously... everywhere.. and the space between atoms and the space between stars is the same thing.. space is the distance between two things.. it is the absence of things... it doesn't require making.. nor a beginning and end.. as the BB universe would have us believe.. governed by entropy.. and scarcity of resources.. in that universe we only get what came out of a point the size of one of my dots... it's not possible to fit even the smallest stone in my collection into one, or even a gross of dots.. 12 dozen is a gross.. 12² = 144.. the 12th Fibonacci sequence number.. I use it in those guess a number games on FB.. out of a hundred tries.. I won once, from a good friend. Not that he could be biased towards his friends. But. It's living proof that.. there's no such thing as magic Peace ✌☮ Starfirediamondmines@gmail.com

    A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'... My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE... Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.

    Regarding the question at 10:00, the Vedas address this by describing the absolute as existing with three ways as Brahman, Paramātmā, and Bhagavān. Brahman is the omnipresent impersonal absolute, Paramātmā is the omnipresent personal form of the absolute, and Bhagavān is the personal form of the absolute, who stays at the center of reality while going wherever else He wants be. Bhagavān means Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who explains in Bhagavad-gītā that He is the source of Paramātmā and Brahman.

    The first guy that he talks to is a very very down-to-earth logical and intelligent man as far as Christians go in fact I am impressed by him and by his Common Sense attitude and answers. He says many things about God that I happen to believe myself because a lot of Christians would say that God can make 2 plus 2 equal 5 and stuff like that the one thing I tend to disagree with him with is the thing about changing the past because God does not exist within time time has no constraint upon God but at the same time since God does not exist within time all the creation happens at once for him so there is no changing it because he is creation basically. He's not something outside of creation he and she together are both all of creation the infinite and the nothing.

    you know. I think it is interesting to know where morality came from. Do you know that animals express moral behavior? This is the first clue that it is evolution based. The first rules that we find against immoral behavior are older than Judaism and Christianity by far. Moral behavior is avoiding pain. This is easy to understand. If moral behavior depended on the Bible we should look at the period when all morality was based on the Bible. That period of time was the middle ages in Europe. The dark ages. What did we have. Monarchs that could do whatever they wanted by Devine command. No freedom of speech. Oppression, slavery, Wich Hunt, no equal right for women and we can go on and on. The Bible did not provide a moral agenda against slavery, discrimination, genocide, selling your next of kin into slavery and a lot more idiotic things that where accepted as pretty normal. Christians may have been involved in some moral standards that we now hold, I will not deny so, but it's common sense that dictated morality not their Bible. The fundament of western morality comes from Athens 2500 years ago. Where laws of democracy and freedom of speech began to take shape. Moral behavior is behavior that avoids pain. It is important to understand this very well. Life in all it forms tent to avoid those things that are painful or destructive. That is what drives life. We are a socially interdependent species. If I want to avoid pain I must learn not to express behavior that may cause pain to others. This is the base of all morality. There is nothing Devine, supernatural or biblical about that. In fact it's an insult to human intelligence to even suggest that we need Devine command for this very principle. It is more logic to state that the Bible borrowed moral rules from society. That is why the Bible has really impossible rules like if you rape a woman you have to marry her. This rule is due to the fact that nobody wanted to marry a woman that wasn't a virgin. A sick habit that worked directly against the victim of violence instead of the violater. Also stoning people with different sexual preferences is deeply rooted in the biblical morality. Male superiority? The Bible! We can also argue that from a biblical standpoint it is not unacceptable to regard on race superior over another because this is what God does himself. The Bible did not even look at woman's right. Twelve year old children could be forced to marry older man which we now know is truly damaging for children that young. Thus the Bible endorsed one of the most immoral things a man can possibly do. God should have known better. Or he should have shaped us better. The Bible notoriously doesn't respect the right of the individual. It simply commands and supports undemocratic rules. Western morality therefore is absolutely not based on the Bible. We cannot deny history that shows that more people have been killed and mistreated in the name of gods than in the name of any devil ever.

    God is Almighty, which means his might is irresistible to all and before all. God has all power and even when he expends his power on creating he remains the Almighty. His power is inexhaustible, generates and expands at will. All power comes from God. God balances his use of his power with love, wisdom and justice. There are things God doesn't do and will not do. God does not use his power arbitrarily and on a whim. While God has limits on himself, compared to his creation he is all powerful, just not in the purest or absolute sense. But nothing in existence can resist his might.

    The God you are "supposed to believe in" will never be revealed to you by external sources. He is the God who is calling to you from within the core of your being. By trying to find Him though scientific means, you are missing the entire point. He can only be found, discovered, substantiated and understood through faith. Faith is the hope that He is real, and embarking on the path to find Him in spite of there being nothing outside of you to substantiate His existence. Once you have exhibited substantial faith (substantial by HIS standard) He will then begin to reveal Himself to you. That is when the world in which He exists begins to emerge and the physical world fades into the back drop. You still have access to it, like a professor can still add 2+2, but it will no longer be your "primary" (no pun intended) concern or interest because what you now have access to is much more enticing.

    2 + 2 can be 5 --- Examples; If I have 2 apples that weight 200 grams each one + 2 apples that weight 300 grams each one ... then, If I take the first 2 apples as my units for apples, then the sum of those 4 apples is equal to 5 apples ... 1 + 1 = 0 If I have a fresh tomato and add to it a rotten tomato ... after a while,I get 2 rotten tomatoes but 0 fresh tomatoes ... the Precision in mathematics as a language is what makes it 'powerful' for engineering stuff but that precision is what makes of mathematics a language disable to represent experiences as experiences are ...

G-d is everything existing that we're aware or unaware of and thus is everywhere. He can be known by people to the level that He wants to be known. Apparently He is interested in certain level of ambiguity and thus His existence can be denied by some, which clearly doesn't bother Him. Generally speaking, the reality is far too complicated for us to know the truth.

I would've been very reserved and careful around a person claiming such "full understanding". At our stage of evolution we are still incomparably smaller than Him. It doesn't mean that we cannot provide a useful service to Him or in the other words - are completely useless.

    If God made two and two make five He would simply be changing the value of two from what we now call two to what we now call two and a half or changing the value of what we now call five to what we now call four. They are just words to which we humans assign mathematical values. God presumably does not have to use words, so any values we presume them to have do not apply. The mathematical values underlying them, however, still do.

    Watching the credulous struggle with the definition of omnipotence as well as the problem of evil is like watching a meal being prepared by a python. Ever struggle against the premise only brings their demise in the rational world that much closer. This is why I still identify as an agnostic atheist. The faithful have more problems than a one armed man trying to row a sinking boat to shore in the pitch black of my night. It would be comical if it weren’t so tragic to watch the struggle to make sense of their ridiculous premise.
