Panentheism Addressing Validation by Science, Religion, Philosophy and Prophecy (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "Panentheism Addressing Validation by Science, Religion, Philosophy and Prophecy (en Inglés)"
Validating panentheism through science, religion, philosophy and prophecy. Why utilize the question format for the work? First, as a teacher, I am most familiar and comfortable with the question format. Second, it provides a means of maneuvering easily within the text. How do we build a model of the relationship between a Causative Force, the universe, and life? We do this by building a model of a universal philosophy and examining it against what we've been told; what we believe; what we see; what we reason; social problems we cannot resolve; social problems we think will not be solvable; and the impact the model would have had, would have or will have on society. We examine the significance of this model against the ideas of beginning/end concepts and against the idea of creation/destruction of the very universe within which we are located. We do this by starting from where we are and using what we have learned of the universe through science, what we believe through religion, and what we reason through philosophy. We then construct a model which seems to encompass and fuse together all this information without destroying any of it. We have worked long and suffered much to gain this information. We do not want to destroy it. We must respect the effort, the pain, and the blood that was spilled to gain it. How do we know this model will be the correct model? As strange as this may sound, we don't. Then why do it? In science, we try to understand what is taking place in the world around us. We do so by building models that we think explain what is taking place. This helps develop what is called a reference point. This is a point from which we do further investigation. As we continue to investigate a phenomenon, we either find the new information we gather: supports the model, creates a need to slightly modify the model, creates a need to greatly modify the model or creates a need to scrap the model and start over. Whatever the case, the original model we created acts as a means of understanding what we had at the moment. The original model is not what is to be protected. What is to be protected is the idea that the original model is only a starting point. Its purpose is to allow growth in understanding as new knowledge is gained. The whole point of the model is to explain what we know presently. We must allow the model to become obsolete as we move into the future and gain a better understanding of what is taking place around us. Once the system had been developed, the impact examined, and the practicality tested, the Universal System needed to be formalized, expanded, and validated against what it is we believe - religion, what it is we observe - science, what is we reason - philosophy, and what it is we've been told about change - prophecy. The work takes on a three-dimensional matrix format. The matrix format was used to help the reader move in and out of the 900 various topics and levels of difficulty
