Debunking of the Big Bang Theory leads to questions about God’s role in creation of the universe

It appears the universe may not have started with a BANG! That is if the latest science challenging the notion of the Big Bang Theory is correct.

This revelation has gotten members of our ‘Underground Knowledge’ discussion group on Goodreads.com fairly worked up, with those of an atheistic or scientific bent butting heads with those of a religious persuasion as members debate the role of God in the creation of the universe.

It (the discussion that is) all began with a comment by a group moderator. He drew attention to a news item that quotes a theoretical physicist as declaring new research suggests the age of the universe could be infinite. That same article quotes another scientist as declaring “We (scientists) really have no right to say that the universe begins with a big bang.”

The news item referred to is at: https://au.news.yahoo.com/technology/…

The research referred to, incidentally, pertains to a paper published Feb. 4 in the journal Physical Letters B, and another paper that is currently under peer review, which was published in the preprint journal arXiv.

One of our members responded by quoting Genesis 1:1 – In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. She adds, “It’s the simple truth that I believe in.”

Another member countered by saying, “Unfortunately it’s not a simple truth: it is not simple and may not be the truth. E.g. who or what created god? According to Genesis, the universe was created about 6500 BC or something, whereas we know the Universe to be 13.8 billion years old. So Genesis is wrong anyway. “Who or what is god” is equivalent to the question to which Physics is seeking an answer. The big bang hypothesis assumes quantum mechanics is equivalent to god… With the big bang, there is a better explanation for reality and god isn’t needed. By the Occam’s razor principle we can therefore do without him.

To which the first member answered, “To answer the question, “who or what created god?” Nothing and no one created God. God has simply always existed. He was. He is. And He will be.”

 

Members’ (further) comments follow. (Names withheld):

At the risk of again being laughed at; the paths to god encompass the pre-destined pursuits of failing “knowledge” and the beauty of faith.

 

Other hypotheses such as a recycling universe, which is certainly not a new idea, may have a different role for quantum mechanics. Something that goes on forever (a recycling universe) is unsatisfactory as it doesn’t explain how it got there in the first place. Why is there something rather than nothing?

 

How does the new proposal handle the background radiation issue? Some sites worth reading: http://www.big-bang-theory.com/ … http://news.nationalgeographic.com/ne…

 

I believe the Big Bang Theory is very ridiculous and requires EVEN MORE FAITH than believing that a loving God created the universe in six days (which is totally the truth, and very simple to accept.)

 

Keep in mind most modern Christians do not state the world is 4-6,000 years old anymore. Most accept that the Earth is billions of years old as per science’s findings. The belief that it’s only a few thousand years old is now about as popular a Christian belief as the old Biblical viewpoint that the Earth is the center of the Universe. Certainly some Christian sects and other minority offshoots (e.g. Seventh Day Adventists) push the old 4,000 year old Biblical belief, but not mainstream Christianity as a whole…FYI, the Aboriginal (native) people in Australia are estimated to go back to around 50,000 years.

 

The bottom line is the Bible was written by men (not any supernatural entity) and written in a time when people had little scientific understanding…

 

The Bible was Not written by men. It was spoken through men but God-breathed (God spoke it it to them or supernaturally showed them what to write).

 

Any Christian scholar will inform you the Bible was most certainly written by men. Afterall, nobody is saying the books that formed the Bible fell out of the sky already written. Each book in the Bible had authors – hence the Book of Job, the Gospel of Mark, the Gospel of Matthew etc. Furthermore, it’s historically proven many or all of these books were edited at later dates (e.g. the Council of Nicea biblical edits in 353AD conducted by the Romans).

 

There are actually various other scientific theories that have been proposed regarding the background radiation. For example, Japanese scientist and member of this group Takaaki Musha has proposed that the cosmic background radiation is not due to the after-glow of a Big Bang, but rather it’s due to the Cherenkov radiation from tachyon pairs created from a ZPF vacuum.

 

Back to the point about the universe possibly recycling. Didn’t Hubble himself have that idea? Wasn’t he the one who thought up the phrase “big bang” as a frustrated way of saying how silly the whole idea was? Of course science is full of silly ideas that ultimately survive the full test of scientific enquiry, such as evolution itself. It will probably take a long time to dismiss the “big bang” theory [no pun intended!]. We can get very close to the point when the current universe began — a tiny fraction of a second. After this point the laws of physics as currently known can work to produce the universe as it is. However close we can get we may never know for sure how the universe began.

 

There may indeed be a few ideas going around such as parallel universes and/or holographic loop, but these don’t seem testable. This makes it unsatisfactory. I can’t possibly see how the universe could be physically infinite. Closed, certainly. In other words if we keep racing for the exit then we can’t get out, even after an infinite time. This is because ultimately space curves in on itself according to principles of general relativity.

Poll asks if Bobby Kennedy’s killer acted alone…Most say No!

In the latest poll in our ‘Underground Knowledge’ discussion group on Goodreads.com we ask members if they believe Robert (Bobby) F. Kennedy (RFK) was solely killed by the “lone gunman” Sirhan Sirhan?

RFK (above) after the fateful shooting. Sirhan Sirhan (below) under arrest.

Interim results show 62% of poll respondents say No (he wasn’t killed by the lone gunman), 18% say Yes (he was) and 20% indicate they’re Undecided.

A random selection of poll respondents’ comments follow. (Names withheld):

I think there’s as much evidence to show Sirhan Sirhan could not possibly have been the only killer of RFK as there is to prove that Oswald couldn’t have acted alone in JFK’s murder. However, the RFK assassination is much more complicated as it likely involved mind control (MK-Ultra) and people need to research wider to understand it.

Some key points for me are…Sirhan Sirhan has no memory of the event at all. There were many more bullets fired at the crime scene than Sirhan’s gun could hold. Sirhan was mixing in circles of MK-Ultra scientists before the killing and was recorded as being “easily hypnotized”.

I recall watching this happen and there was so much confusion. These “single” assassins probably didn’t just spring up on their own. To have both Jack and Bobby gunned down is probably statistically improbable. And Martin too, without outside input from those who feared them…just doesn’t add up to lone assassins. So many “truths” then and now just don’t add up to any kind of “normal” reality.

I voted undecided…My instincts always said that the event was much too convenient for the powers that be. Imagine what might have been if RFK became the next US president. This is not to reject any notion of conspiracy. The martyred shooter is likely just the tip of the iceberg.

Poll results show many convinced Hurricane Katrina was an ‘inside job’

Posted: February 17, 2015 in Underground Knowledge

In the latest poll on our ‘Underground Knowledge’ discussion group on Goodreads.com  we ask members if they believe Hurricane Katrina was a purely natural disaster; some of the responses make for interesting reading…

chapter iv and katrina

Katrina batters New Orleans. 

The full question posed in this (continuing) poll reads: Do you believe Hurricane Katrina was a purely natural disaster or do you think it was an ‘inside job’ on some level (e.g. HAARP, eugenics-style racial attack, blowing up levees or general weather modification)?

Thus far, 43% of poll respondents have opted for natural disaster, 20% are unsure and the balance (37%) opted for inside job.

 

A random selection of comments from those who believe Hurricane Katrina was an inside job follows. (Names withheld):

I sense it was an Inside Job and voted that way. Declassified documents seem to indicate weather modification may be very advanced. Not just HAARP but general weather modification technologies that the military industrial complex has in its possession.

 

I strongly feel that Katrina was either orchestrated event or else a natural disaster that was used in an opportunist fashion to attack impoverished African American communities. Unfortunately, when you study the history of eugenics it is impossible to dismiss such sinister racial experiments.

 

Total inside job. I’ve talked to people that lived through it, swimming from house to house, and they said the levies were intentionally tampered with, although I can’t remember the specifics. Either way, it’s self-evident. All you have to do is look at how many people profited off the cleanup and by how much.

 

While I am unsure about the cause; I am sure that the authorities did everything in their power afterward to make more of a mess.

 

Indeed it was orchestrated. There was an emergency planning scenario drill exercise held in New Orleans which commenced one week ahead of the storm called Hurricane Pam. It is believed that this granted FEMA the cover it needed to plant the explosives in the levee wall of Lake Portchartrain.

 

The slow government response to this huge disaster was very unusual. Somehow, things didn’t make sense from a rescue point of view. Why did it take so long for the government to do something? This is not a normal response, in the U.S., anyway.

 

Although I cannot be 100% sure that it was a manmade inside job, I still voted that way, because if Katrina wasn’t, then certainly other things of the same ilk were. Weather modification, eugenics and associated things are those areas that can be backed up with some hard facts, and yet it’s still routinely ignored in mainstream press (even the weather modification we’ve been told has been employed).

 

And here’s some links relating to Katrina that poll respondents have provided:

Claims of brainwashed sex slaves and satanic abuse prompted by discussion on fracturing of the psyche

Posted: February 13, 2015 in Underground Knowledge
Tags: , , , , , , ,

One of the most popular (and disturbing) threads on our ‘Underground Knowledge’ discussion group on the literary site Goodreads.com was sparked by a comment on the somewhat seedy topic of mind control and brainwashed slaves.

Goodreads: Book reviews, recommendations, and discussion

Posted by James, one of the group’s moderators, the comment reads:

Although unproven, the fracturing of the psyche is said to be used by either intelligence agencies or sinister shadowy groups to create Manchurian Candidates and/or sex slaves.

It has been claimed that by conducting various forms of abuse on certain individuals, including verbal and sexual abuse, split personalities occur in victims which make mind control much easier.

Although such conspiracy theories seem outlandish, they perhaps cannot be instantly dismissed as the fact remains that the first psychiatrists employed to master mind control studied mental patients who had been diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder (which medical science has since renamed Dissociative Identity Disorder).

Many of those psychiatrists are said to have been Paperclip Nazi doctors who were brought to the US after conducting radical psychiatric experiments on patients during the Holocaust – the same doctors whose victims not only included Jews, Gyspies, political agitators and homosexuals, but also the mentally ill.

 

That post prompted an outpouring of comments – some from members who claim to be the victims of both satanic and sexual abuse.

A random sample of those comments (names withheld) follows:

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Charities claim that the satanic abuse of children is rife.’…CHILDREN have been the victims of satanic abuse including rape, murder and even the production of so-called snuff films which depict killings, two leading charities claimed last night. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/5330…

 

This sort of article makes naysayers who haunt the autobiographies of survivors with statements like “It’s all a hoax you idiot!” and “Satanic Panic” verbiage, say things like “liars!” They would like us all to go back to sleep and stop causing them trouble. Although they do like getting paid so well to harass survivors.

 

The idea that many establishment figures are organised criminal paedophiles, as put forward by conspiracy theorists years ago, who often named the same names, is coming out more and more here in the mainstream U.K press. See this story in today’s The Independent: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/…

 

Damn…I find this stuff really, really scary…Especially when you consider they are probably just uncovering the tip of the iceberg. Who the hell are these “people” in power? The other question I have is how come this is only being uncovered or reported in the UK? When will similar revelations come to light in the US?

 

Here in the US, snuff films have been around since the early 70’s at least. When we said; “Do your own thing,” we had no idea of the sickness of some peoples things.

 

This investigation says that Satanic ritual abuse not proven and likely to be only isolated cases usually involving insane individuals https://www.goodreads.com/videos/7557… Not saying I believe that theory necessarily, but I wanted to present the argument against the mass ritual abuse theories. So don’t shoot the messenger!!

 

There is plenty of absolute solid proof that Satanic abuse groups do exist. To say they don’t is like saying the KKK don’t exist. There’s lesser proof that they are all connected in a larger conspiracy.

 

The current U.K organised paedophilia groups are not being presented as anything to do with Satanism. But when mainstream media is starting to agree about the high level organisation of it and how many important and well known people are involved with it, just as conspiracy theorists stated years ago. So surely that then gives more credence to those investigations of Satanic abuse that’s been mentioned by many of the same conspiracy researchers, especially when different branches of Satanism have had many close links to other known and secret organisations.

 

…Either way: ‘organised paedophilia’ or ‘organised Satanic paedophilia’, it’s as equally disturbing of course.

 

I think the consistency of survivor accounts is evidence that it is an organized ring of the same religion or mind set. Symbols used in their organized mind “programming” are consistent. Survivors talk about the use of Masonic symbols, and lines from fairy tales, children’s stories and biblical passages (Oz programming, Tower of Babble programming). This would be used to create consistency as a sort of “programming language” regardless of whether the users believed in the same religious jargon.

 

Ritual Abuse occurs with many different groups. I would be mistaken not to acknowledge this. I have a personal focus on the abuse linked to ramblings about the Illuminati, Masonic rites and MK-Ultra, but of course there are other groups who get caught up in the power trip of torture and murder in the name of their dark side.

Prince Charles not alone when it comes to communicating with plants

Posted: February 11, 2015 in Underground Knowledge
Tags: , , , , , , , ,

Seems Prince Charles ain’t the only one who communicates with plants if the comments being made by members of our ‘Underground Knowledge’ discussion group on Goodreads.com are anything to go by. The comments have been prompted by one member, a former Intelligence soldier with the US Army, who raised the possibility of telepathic communication between plants and humans on one of the group’s discussion threads.

 Prince Charles

Charlie not only talks to plants…he swears they respond!

The member concerned (name withheld) says he recently came across several studies that have identified a telepathic (or energetic) communication between plants and humans. “In multiple studies, plants have presented a measurable response to human thoughts of harming the plants. If plants can indeed read human thoughts, what does this say about nature and our relationship to it. Are we capable of an avatar-like communication with the natural world. If so, why do you think this information is not being taught in every single school around the world?”

The member concerned left the following link for anyone interested: http://www.serviceofchange.com/plants/

His comments sparked a variety of responses from other members – some skeptical, some receptive. A sample of these comments (names withheld) follow:

I believe it, but tend to think the phrase “energetic communication” would be more apt than “telepathic communication”.

 

Perhaps “energetic immagination” would be even more apt…

 

I think there’s a fair amount of scientific research to validate it or at least make it very hard to dismiss.

 

Perhaps we should consult Prince Charles on this one. He doesn’t just talk to his plants, he instructs them and swears they respond…as per this Daily Mail article – http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2286883/Prince-Charles-revealed-instructs-plants.html

 

Does this mean vegetarians should immediately become meat-eaters?

 

I just sense there must be a way for all living things to create some form of communication…even if just very basic communication…I mean, only half a century ago people would have said it’s impossible for humans and dolphins to communicate.

 

If you’ve ever listened to Gregg Braden, he does a great job explaining how all matter communicates on a quantum level; how consciousness can influence particles.

 

Come on people, we all know Prince Charles is crackers: it’s all that aristocratic inbreeding! Similar to your plants/communication hypothesis I have a generic issue for you all to discuss which can be phrased abstractly as follows:

Given any event X and any unrelated event Y

Discuss evidence for X affecting Y

Waste hours of your time looking at the connections. Then conclude that the “jury is still out”, which of course it would be as there is no evidence. This is basically what you’ve done above.

 

Not all phenomenon can be squeezed into your X and Y equations.

 

Must away. There’s a lettuce in my garden looking a little forlon. I best go and cheer him up with a few kind words…

Muslim viewpoint adds value to our ‘Underground Knowledge’ poll

Our latest ‘Underground Knowledge’ group poll on the popular literary site Goodreads.com has taken an interesting turn with one of our Muslim members adding to the discussion.

Goodreads: Book reviews, recommendations, and discussion

The poll simply asks: Do you believe in God? Results remain largely unchanged since our last poll update with 71% of poll respondents saying Yes (I believe in God); 16% saying No (I am an atheist); and 13% saying Undecided (I am an agnostic).

Our Muslim member, whom we shall call “Aabid” for the sake of this post, comments as follows:

 I am a believer, I believr in God, Allah, and I would like to point out that Muhammad Peace be upon him, is the a prophet and messenger of God, he’s a person just like all human beings, and in Islam, he’s Not considered a God, God is the Great Creator of the universe, the ultimate power and mighty of all, so please if you’re not a believer don’t be offensive to other religions, Islam Christianity Judasim Pagan or all, please dig things up before you say anything, just like I respect all of your opinions.  

Further random comments follow from other poll respondents (names withheld):

Aabid, finally! It’s nice to have a Muslim member commenting as there have been a lot of ill-informed comments about Islam in various posts (just as there are a lot of ill-informed comments in the media about your religion) so it’s great that you have joined the group. I look forward to reading more of your comments.

.

I actually find it incredible that the media has managed to blur people’s opinions, and logic, of Islam and Islamic State etc. We’re on dangerous ground when it comes to confusing someone’s religion with others’ terrorist political religious views. (Especially when Islam and Christianity, along with Judaism of course, are from the same root)…And, oh…. how many examples there have been throughout history, especially with Christianity…

.

Stop tarring all with the same brush. Think it through. It’s pretty damn easy to see that terrorism and Islam are two completely different things. And yet, I still feel the need to point it out because people are being brainwashed by the media. Look at who funds both sides of this new world war. That’s who the enemy is. Look at your own governments and ask: “Was it something we did?” You’ll soon find out, hell yes, it was. They’re fighting the West for a reason. You wanna stop the increasing war? Start by changing your own country’s philosophy and start asking: “What can we do to HELP this situation?”

.

There are also elements of Islam I disagree with. But I just feel Muslims are being misrepresented in Western media. And moderate Muslims (the vast majority) are paying the price for extreme zealots (small minority).

 

Aabid summarizes the sentiments of most poll respondents to date with the following comment:

…Loving the spirit in this poll by the way.

Strong customer response to Amazon’s unlimited book borrows initiative

Posted: January 18, 2015 in Books in general
Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) team announced this week they continue to see strong response from customers to the Kindle Unlimited (KU) book borrows scheme and are adding a bonus of $4.25 million to the previously announced base fund amount of $3 million. This brings the total fund to $7.25 million for the month of December.

KDP released the following report “to share some initial results from the first few months of Kindle Unlimited” with its stable of participating authors and independent publishers:

• Renewal Rates – Authors have chosen to renew their titles in KDP Select at rates in excess of 95% in each month of 2014.
• A La Carte Sales Growth – During the 5 full months since KU launch (August to December 2014), royalties to KDPS authors from a la carte sales have grown faster than a la carte sales on KDP overall or Kindle overall.
• Adding in the payments for KOLL and KU over that time, total royalties to KDPS authors more than doubled when compared to the same period in 2013.
• Total earnings on titles priced $2.99 or greater are growing faster than the overall average. The same is true for titles 150+ pages in length.

A KDP spokesperson says, “To further highlight the KDP Select books that are most popular with customers, we will again award “KDP Select All-Stars” for December to the most-read authors and titles in the U.S., U.K. and Germany. We’ll spotlight each All-Star author and title on applicable detail pages.

“These awards will come with financial bonuses and recipients will be contacted in the next few days. For more information on All-Stars, visit https://kdp.amazon.com/help?topicId=A2X66QXB12WV2. Anyone with a title in KDP Select—even a debut author with a single title—can qualify if their work becomes a customer favorite. We will also pay a separate bonus for Kindle Owners’ Lending Library loans in Japan.”

The spokesperson says, “We’ve gotten lots of great feedback in the past weeks and months, including a bunch of ideas on how to further improve the structure of the program and make it work better for authors and readers alike. Like everything we do, we’re looking hard at all your feedback and we expect to keep tweaking and improving the program in the future.”

Membership of our new ‘Underground Knowledge’ discussion group on the popular literary site Goodreads.com has now topped 500 and has opened up debates on a wide range of topics spanning current events, 21st Century history, conspiracy theories, media studies and more.

Goodreads: Book reviews, recommendations, and discussion

Popular discussion threads range from Big Pharma and the $ickness Industry, ISIS and the war on terror, Project Monarch and ritual abuse, antigravity propulsion, Area 51 and aliens to suppressed science and technology, genius intelligence, the Queen’s invisible riches, and Operation Northwoods and the US Military’s proposal to kill Americans.

Links follow to some of the ‘Underground Knowledge’ group’s more popular discussion threads:

Does the Illuminati even exist anymore? https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/…

Operation Northwoods – the US Military’s (declassified) proposal to kill American citizens on American soil using ‘acts of terrorism’. Some investigators believe the Northwoods documents (which were signed by the US Joint Chiefs of Staff) provide an historical precedence to support the possibility that 9/11 may have been an inside job: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/…

Is Queen Elizabeth II richer and more powerful than anyone else on Earth? https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/

Are those who claim they have been Eyes Wide Shut-style sex slaves under mind control their entire lives deluded or insane or telling the truth? Share your opinion in this thread on the much talked about yet still unproven ‘Project Monarch’: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/…

 

‘Underground Knowledge’ group polls popular

Our polls are proving popular with members. We recently asked: Do you believe 9/11 was an ‘inside job?

9/11 Pictures

9/11…A terrorist event or an ‘inside job’?

The results of that poll roughly reflect various polls conducted by mainstream media outlets like Newsday, CNN & CBS, which have repeatedly shown about 50% of Americans believe the US Government had something to do it.

In the latest poll in our ‘Underground Knowledge’ group on the popular literary site Goodreads.com we ask members: Do you believe in God? Given the number of declared atheists in the group, the interim results are surprising.

To date, 72% of poll respondents say Yes (I believe in God); 16% say No (I am an atheist); and 12% say Undecided (I am an agnostic).

It should be pointed out, the question (Do you believe in God) asked in the poll is qualified by the following: “This word doesn’t just include the Christian deity or other religious versions but any concept of God such as non-religious ‘spiritual’, New Age definitions or quantum physics/scientific theories of God).”

Comments received by poll respondents make for interesting reading. Here’s a random sample. (Names withheld)…

Yep….believe in God. BUT…..I’d sure as hell, (oops, sorry God) believe even more if I’d hit the damn lottery after praying sooooo hard. Just sayin.’ 

.

Yes, I believe in the Lord God Creator, Maker of Heaven and Earth, unlike the author of the previous post, who prefers to sell his soul to Lucifer, the Fallen Angel. Many people do not believe in intelligent design, but several of my articles point not only to intelligent design and cosmology but a timetable to world events.

.

Yes, I am a believer, but I don’t believe on that simple description of the Great Engineer, like it is depicted in the Big Books. 

.

Best description would be that I believe in a Mathematical Entity, void of any mental abilities or identity. Completely non Anthropomorphic.

.

If you are to consider a fruit bearing tree, you would have a good idea of how I perceive life, and the universe. Interesting, that a single bud of an early spring, may lead to a great tree, hundreds of years old, which produces many fruits, is it not? All is fractal, Brahman is everything.

.

My God’s name is NOT Muhammad. My God spreads love and allows me to live my life to it’s fullest. 

.

But what about the Islamic members of this group, Xxxxxx? Do you love them too? 🙂
