Probably, we have heard and have used the word God millions of times. But, when you hear or use that word, what image or understanding do you conjure up. If I were a gambler, I would bet that for every human brain that has ever existed, a different idea would pertain. Why do you suppose that is. The reason is very simple and clear; no one before now has ever “defined” God. We all have, no doubt, been instilled with some version of an idea that God is a human-like figure dressed in startlingly brilliant robes, topped with a magnificent crown and sitting on a majestic throne. Jesus, His little boy, is sitting at His side but at a lower level; where the Holy Ghost is, no one seems to know.. Ponder that for a moment and see how it stacks up with you. Now consider what we know scientifically to be factual and irrefutable about our universe (very little in comparison with what is to be known,”what God knows”). However, we do know enough to begin to get an inkling into the real nature of God. Some things we know: the universe is so vast that no human mind can picture it (we have no reference points); there are more suns in our universe than there are grains of sand on all the earths beaches (can you comprehend such a number?); the nuclear fusion reactions going on in every sun would make our largest hydrogen bomb look like a tiny toy; light that has been traveling for 13.7 billion years at the rate of 186,000 miles/second is just now reaching our earth (the suns that produced that light have been burned out for billions of years already); everything in this universe is made of identical small particles of energy generically known as quanta (each of its kind perfect in form and function to its counterparts). Those are just a few of the known facts. What kind of being could possibly be creator and manager of such a machine (universe) ? That knowledge and that question compelled me to do something never before done in irrefutable terms; define God. We never have been given a specific essential definition of God. What is essence? It is the basic attribute that makes something what it is. So with that in mind, I was compelled to define God so as to answer all the seemingly imponderable “mysteries” in our lives (God Himself, the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, God’s Will and many more. My definition is simple, uncomplicated, and irrefutable. Simply put, I define God as A PERFECT RATIONAL BEING. From that definition flow all the imponderables like water flowing over a rapids. The only FAITH we need is to accept the concept of God; some don’t and that’s their privilege. You must read my book WILDERNESS CRY to fully grasp and understand all these simple concepts.

LOVE- We hear and use this word in various ways, but I suspect few know its’ real basic meaning. I believe its’ most basic meaning is acceptance. Other meanings could include desire, wish, will, choice, enjoy etc. Jesus suggested that we love one another as we love ourselves. We know that to be humanly impossible in most instances, but that knowledge does not preclude our being ever aware of the idea and constantly trying. Feeding the hungry is one of a million ways we can do and show that attitude. However any and all efforts come with a price of selfishness; we get a sense of self satisfaction. Everything in this universe is intrinsically evil by that basic necessity of selfishness. In order to understand that and many, many more concepts related to love and selfishness, you must read my little book, WILDERNESS CRY; Amazon, Kindle, and all major on-line book retailers.

We hear and use the word science often, but do you know what it means and the source of its’ derivation ? The word science comes from the Latin word scientia which means ” knowledge”. Knowledge means “truth”. There is only one TRUTH and that is God. So when we speak of science, we , wittingly or unwittingly, are speaking of our discovery or our attempted discovery of some of God’s TRUTH (Perfection). For a clearer understanding of how science enables us to better understand God and His creation, you must read my book Wilderness Cry; Amazon, Kindle, and all major on-line book retailers.

How many faces did Jesus have? According to the World Christian Encyclopedia, He had 33,000; that’s how many Christian denominations there are in the world as of 2014. Each of those denominations paint a different picture of Jesus. I mention that fact to point out that religion pits us against one another (I”m right and you”re wrong). Religion is a divider rather than a uniter. Jesus gave is two dicta to live by; Love God with your all and love your neighbor as yourself. Those concepts are uniting rather than separating; sadly they have generally been ignored by organized religion because they are too simple; there’s no  money to be made preaching such simplicity. I show clearly in my book that Christianity and indeed the entire living earth will not survive much longer because of that division. Sooner or later some irrational person will pull the nuclear trigger and forever change the genetic structure of any surviving entity. Christians must unite under that one universal banner if we are to survive; likely, that will never happen because of power, money and control. My book is a “must read”.  NB: all comments and questions welcome.

My philosophy explained: there is God; He exists as Trinity; He is perfect and unchangeable; He created a 100% evil (selfish) universe so He could be Perfect Love by dying in atonement. You must read my book to grasp full meaning of this concept.

Almost all so-called understanding of God and our universe comes from the bible. However, biblical scholars know it is terribly corrupted and not a reliable source of information. It is a general reference at best. Knowing that compelled me to develop a philosophy based on known history and science. By defining God as “A Perfect Rational Being”, all of the so-called mysteries imposed by religion become crystal clear. You will be astonished at the clarity and validity of my philosophy.

I have been requested to post some of my research and idea generation for my book. I was raised a Catholic in a tiny west Ky. town of Fancy Farm which was 100% Catholic at the time. I was taught Roman Catholic doctrine with the scientific certainty of  math and physics. At age 7, when I made my first communion, the austerity was frightening. About age 12 I began to notice that nothing we, as a parish, or I individually, prayed for came to fruition. My priest told me it was God’s Will. I began right then to question the validity of prayers of petition. I was raised a pauper (6 boys and parents) in a 3 room shack with no electricity or facilities of any kind. In-spite of that I was valedictorian of my small class which earned me a scholarship to college. By the hardest, I was able to get through Med school and post grad training to become Orthopedic surgeon. I got married to my high school sweetheart after freshman year of med school. She was a great help with my studies and worked to support us. However the Church’s stance on artificial birth control brought more babies than we could handle. We managed by the hardest, but I realized the church’s stance was unreasonable. So I began my “journey of understanding”. I read and researched everything I could get my hands on. I could see all the problems but couldn’t find the answer. With advent of PC, research became easier. Suddenly, I realized the problem was in our concept of God; I had to define God. Once I did that, all the answers became instantly clear. All of my research made sense. I will try to post a list of my references asap. Hope this helps. If not satisfactory, let me know and I’ll respond in kind

Did you ever wonder about The Holy Spirit? If someone asked you to explain The Holy Spirit, what would you tell them explicitly? I suspect most of you, like I for years, would have a difficult time coming up with a clear-cut description. The bible describes Him many different and conflicting ways. In one place Jesus is said to tell His apostles that He will send the Paraclete to them. A Paraclete is someone outside you; a friendly side-kick, companion, maybe body-guard (someone who walks beside you). In other places Jesus is said to say to apostles “Receive The Holy Spirit”. that would seem to indicate something internal likened to an infusion. Luke describes the Holy Spirit descending upon the apostles in “tongues of fire” with great atmospheric upheaval. Paul says ‘we are temples of The Holy Spirit”. At Confirmation ceremonies, the bishop confers Him on people saying “Receive the Holy Spirit”. So, just who or what is this Holy Spirit? What does He do; how does He do it; and how long does He last? For a clearly rational and philosophically sound answer to all these questions and seeming contradictions, you must read my book, WILDERNESS CRY. I devote an entire chapter to this most important subject. Amazon hard-copy and Kindle. Log onto Amazon; read their description of my book and please read the reviews.

Do you understand what evil is? Simply stated, it is selfishness. Where did it come from? Some would have you believe it came from two mythical characters Adam and Eve. I’m here to tell you and explain to you the fallacy of that narrative.  Selfishness may be defined as any activity, desire, or attitude directed at self. Selfishness was instilled in every object in our universe by God, Himself. Oh. you shriek in horror; how you blaspheme!!! Do you not see and understand that every entity in any universe has selfish needs? All living things need fuel, combustant, and exhaust systems. All have self-directed needs. Likewise, every inanimate object from the smallest particle of sand to the largest sun are constantly vying fore more space. Meteors and meteorites are constantly bombarding suns and planets attempting to gain more space for themselves. The elements (wind, rain, lightening etc) are constantly attacking our environment creating more self-serving space. Black holes are devouring everything in their near vicinity nourishing their gravitational desires. Galaxies are devouring entire galaxies in the grandest exhibition of “bullying” yet. And why? Because God made it that way. And, in disbelief and astonishment you say WHY. The answer is very simple; to justify the death of His son Jesus in atonement. And again you say WHY? So He could be PERFECT LOVE. You must read my little classic science and philosophy book Wilderness Cry to gain full understanding. Amazon hard-copy $10.95, Kindle $4.99
