How are we to make sense of the unending political chaos and disorder?
The endless lies of governments and the so-called new world order, for example, as detailed in these books. Political chaos, hardship, distress, happiness, etc., it seems are all part of the ever-changing material nature – like waves crashing on a beach. The material world and, in fact, the entire material universe is temporary and ever-changing; cycling through creation, maintenance and toward eventual destruction. After the cold of winter, spring, and then summer comes to warm us up again.
In this world of political chaos, enforced political ideologies, and fake science it seems many people are thrown by circumstances beyond our control. Akin to straws in a stream, the flow of events may move/affect us. The stream keeping flowing, sometimes there is happiness, sometimes sorrow, sometime extreme hardship, death and even war.
We all have such experiences. Examples are all around us. I recently spoke with a man whose house had blown up in war. Last week, a fourteen-year-old girl was raped by migrants in Ballymena, Northern Ireland. As usual, the increasingly common violent crimes of criminal migrants received no coverage in mainstream media; and hordes of government police arrived to actually protect the migrants. Riots ensued as in response hundreds of local people sought justice, and burned the houses of the migrants, see a report in this video here (watch below). I have no doubt karma is real – sooner or later it kicks in. There is a line in an ancient scripture describing that a person’s bad actions find them the way a lost calf eventually find its mother in a herd of cows.
Yet, there is also the beauty of God’s creation in nature; and in the righteous actions of good people. Once while hiking Mount Blanc I saw an incredible sunrise, with the shadow of the mountain in the sky. Another example, I took this video of sunlight shining onto a river in Ireland. I had never seen this type of sunlight effect before.
Our minds cannot take in the immense complexity of it all. Many of the greatest scientists throughout history have been struck with amazement whilst attempting to analyze the design, complexity, and perfect arrangements in the natural world. Clearly, at least it appears to me, there must be an intelligent designer.
Quotations from Renowned Scientists that Realised the Existence of God
The following are quotes from some of the many renowned scientists throughout history that concluded “God exists”, that a designer of supreme intelligence must exist. See also the books Godless Fake Science and Inspiring Quotes on Creativity, Wisdom, and Spirituality
“Overwhelming strong proofs of intelligent and benevolent design lie around us. The atheistic idea is so nonsensical that I cannot put it into word” – Lord Kelvin, the scientific father of thermodynamics
“Those who say that the study of science makes a man an atheist must be rather silly people” – Physics Noble laurate Max Born
“We ought to value the privilege of knowing God’s truth far beyond anything we can have in this world” – Michael Faraday, Scientist
“There is no incompatibility between science and religion. Science proves that God exists. “ – Chemistry Noble Laurate Derek Barton
“When I examine the orderliness, understandability, and beauty of the universe, I am led to the conclusion that a higher intelligence designed what I see. My scientific appreciation of the coherence, the delightful simplicity, of physics strengthens my belief in God… a God who is both the creator of the universe and is ultimately concerned with the welfare of the creatures of that universe…. I believe that scientific research is a deeply religious calling” – William D. Phillips, Nobel Laureate in Physics, University of Maryland
“An equation for me has no meaning, unless it represents a thought of God.” – Ramanujan, Famous mathematics genius
“The universe has been brought for us by a supremely good and orderly creator” – Nicholas Copernicus
“For a person whose spiritual orientation is in the framework of a supreme benevolent entity, the world is the handiwork of that entity. The study of the intricacies and beauty of the world is an act of devotion. Pursuing science becomes an act of worship… Contemporary science looks at the world in terms of utility (technology and standard of life)… But never does it aim to see uninterrupted happiness as the aim of all disciplines… “ – E.C. G Sudarshan, Particle Physicist, University of Texas
“I saw in it (the atom) the key to the deepest secret of nature, and it revealed to me the greatness of the creation and the Creator.” – Max Born, one of the pioneers of quantum physics
“Although 2,000 years of Aristotelian worldview maintained that insects are devoid of any internal organs, Swammerdam showed that they are as complex as the large mammals. For him the source of this artistic design, complexity and natural order could only be divine, and his only response was rapture.” – Dr T. D. Singh PhD referring to the work of Dutch anatomist and pioneer microscopist Jan Swammerdam (1637-80)
“I find that existence can no more be separated from the essence of God than from the essence of a rectilinear triangle can be separated the equality of its three angles to two right angles, or, indeed, if you please, from the idea of a mountain the idea of a valley” – Descartes
“If we think deep enough, we can realize that there can be no one other than God who can (i) impart perfect order and majestic beauty in nature (ii) make the physical laws of nature, (iii) manifest the wonderful world of myriad of living beings.” – Dr T. D. Singh PhD
“I am convinced of the afterlife, independent of theology. If the world is rationally constructed, there must be an afterlife” – Kurt Gödel, Famous mathematician

“For me the idea of a creation is inconceivable without God. One cannot be exposed to the law and order of the universe without concluding that there must be a divine intent behind it all.” – Wemher Von Braun, Founder of Astronautics
“We feed our bodies; our Souls are also to be fed: The Food of the Soul is Knowledge, especially Knowledge in the Things of God,” – John Ray, Founder of Modern Biology
“When I reflect on so many profoundly marvelous things that persons have grasped, sought, and done, I recognize even more clearly that human intelligence is a work of God, and one of the most excellent” – Galileo Galilei, Founder of Experimental Physics
“There are two books laid before us to study, to prevent our failing into error, the first, the volume of Scriptures, which reveal the will of God; then the volume of the creatures, which express His power.” – Sir Francis Bacon, Founder of the Scientific Inductive Method
“I believe in God. It makes no sense to me to assume that the Universe and our existence is just a cosmic accident, that life emerged due to random physical processes in an environment which simply happened to have the right properties.” – Antony Hewish, 1974 Nobel in Physics
“And thus, I very clearly see that the certitude and truth of all science depends on the knowledge alone of the true God, insomuch that, before I knew him, I could have no perfect knowledge of any other thing.” – Rene Descartes, Founder of Analytical Geometry
“The more we learn about creation – the way it emerged – it just adds to the glory of God.” – Joseph Murray, Nobel Laureate in Medicine and Physiology

The Temporary Nature of the Material Reality, and the Eternal Nature of the Soul
How incredibly amazing God must be to have created this world, this universe, that provides life and resources for us all.
“Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” – Judeo-Christian Bible – John 1:3
“This material nature, which is one of My energies, is working under My direction… producing all moving and non-moving beings. Under its rule this manifestation is created and annihilated again and again.” – Bhagavad Gita (9.10) Vedic scripture, written 5,000 years ago – Purport by Srila Prabhupada: “It is clearly stated here that the Supreme Lord, although aloof from all the activities of the material world, remains the supreme director. The Supreme Lord is the supreme will and the background of this material manifestation, but the management is being conducted by material nature.”
I detail my research of original Christianity in the book Original Christianity – Beyond Institutional Dogma. The 1980s rock band ‘The Police’ famously sang “We are spirits in the material world”. It appears to me that God gives us the opportunity to attain or enjoy what we want according to our desire. It could be wealth, family, a car, a house, music, hiking through beautiful mountains, surfing the beach breaks, sex, enough beer to make a horse drunk; or, indeed to live a spiritual life and develop a relationship with God. You name it, everything material or spiritual comes by the grace of God. Man proposes and God disposes. Yet our actions have consequences. Each of us has the opportunity to manifest our reality, by the grace of God, according to our desires; and (it appears to me there is an interplay involving karma and devotion to God). The human form of life is capable of understanding their eternal relationship with Him.
Yet, what happens when the material body expires? Many ancient texts describe the temporary nature of the human body, and the eternal nature of the soul. Whatever a man wants to do, or be; whether he is God-conscious or an atheist; the day will come when the body expires. In effect, scripture tells, when that happens the body is then dead, non-existent, yet the soul lives on.
The ancient Vedic wisdom encourages self-realization on the basis of this non-existence of the material body. If we see through the eyes of scripture rather than through the eyes of our desires, we may realise that we’re experiencing something temporary. The body will eventually pass just as the seasons change through winter to summer.
Just like a video game, this material experience is temporary. And on the basis of the words of Jesus Christ, or the even earlier Vedic scriptures; we all have a real existence outside of that, that is the experience of the eternal soul. Yet, we’re so absorbed in this current video game because it’s so much fun, or its so much pain. Sometimes it’s not fun (to say the least) and, perhaps, that starts the questioning – why is this happening?
Greed in the Material World
It appears to me the game of material life is like a monopoly board, you know, sometimes you become rich, and sometimes you go to jail, or lose your house. When we play that game, we think we are enjoying or suffering. The problem, of course, is that greedy demons also play the material game. They cheat, deceive, steal the monopoly money (the money creation process), and, thus, control the game, control governments, control natural resources (via funding of legal fictions called mega-corporations), and even control you from birth via the legal fiction of the birth registration process. For more information see the book Demonic Economics and the Tricks of the Bankers.
The eternality of the soul provides another perspective. While looking at the material game, you see it’s just a game like a monopoly board, and say “I have a spiritual existence separate from this game”. You can choose to keep playing the game, use the game in service of truth and righteousness, or even walk away from the board. It all depends on the desire of the individual. Easier said than done, of course, when there is a mortgage to pay.
After the moment of death the material body has no factual existence for any of us. Yet, God is always with us, he knows the heart of every man and is waiting for us to choose to come closer to Him, our Father. When the game is over, scriptures tell us, that God like any true friend is waiting for us. The connection is real. Jesus apparently said:
“I have much more to say to you, but right now you are not yet ready / it would be more than you could bear/understand.” – John 16:12
