TESTING ART

Three artists whom I admire more than most are  Stanley Kubrick, Gustav Klimt and Michael Parkes.  Art, like every other opinion about Life, Universes and Other Stuff is a personal opinion.   Since I write a Blog, I express my personal opinions here.  You may not agree with me, but you may also have affection for the work of these artists.
ART TEST
“Wien”, (above) is  a Stone Lithograph by Michael Parkes (born in 1944)  is an American-born artist living in Spain who is best known for work in the areas of fantasy art and magic realism.  (Visit the website for Michael Parkes here:  http://www.theworldofmichaelparkes.com/cm/Home.html

“( Gustav Klimt) most definitely he has, along with the entire Viennese Secessionist movement, influenced my work. If my spirit is based in the Renaissance, my heart is based in the designs of the Viennese at the turn of the 19th century”. — Michael Parkes, 2013.  Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) who was an Austrian symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement.

Stanley Kubrick (July 26, 1928 – March 7, 1999) was an American film director, screenwriter, producer and cinematographer.

REINCARNATION PROOF

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

For most people living in the West the idea of reincarnation is virtually forbidden by christian “culture”. Here is a very credible scientific evidence that reincarnation is a reality. Understanding this reality opens the door to understanding ourselves as immortal spiritual beings.

The link below reveals the research of Dr. Ian Stevenson who has devoted the last forty years to the scientific documentation of past life memories of children from all over the world. He has over 3,000 cases in his files. Many people, including skeptics and scholars, agree that these cases offer the best evidence yet for reincarnation.

Dr. Stevenson’s credentials are impeccable. He is a medical doctor and had many scholarly papers to his credit before he began paranormal research. He is the former head of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Virginia, and now is Director of the Division of Personality Studies at the University of Virginia.

EDGE OF EVOLUTION

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

As I revealed in my book THE OZ FACTORS in 1999, the “theory of evolution” is essentially a bunch of bunk.  Darwin based his THEORY largely on geology, rather than biology.  During the intervening decades the new religion of “science”, as well as old religion (The Pope) have accepted and championed the unfounded THEORY that life on Earth spontaneously “evolves” to create new and unique species of life.  The problem is that all the EVIDENCE demonstrates this has never happened, without the intervention of “intelligent design”, i.e. people, aliens, gods, etc..  The theory of evolution another of the fundamental lies (false information) that trap and enslave the minds human beings on Earth.

Here is a brief description of a new book published recently by the brilliant biologist and writer. Michael Behe,  that I referenced in THE OZ FACTORS:

When Michael J. Behe’s first book, Darwin’s Black Box, was published in 1996, it launched the intelligent design movement. Critics howled, yet hundreds of thousands of readers — and a growing number of scientists — were intrigued by Behe’s claim that Darwinism could not explain the complex machinery of the cell.

Now, in his long-awaited follow-up, Behe presents far more than a challenge to Darwinism: He presents the evidence of the genetics revolution — the first direct evidence of nature’s mutational pathways — to radically redefine the debate about Darwinism.

How much of life does Darwin’s theory explain? Most scientists believe it accounts for everything from the machinery of the cell to the history of life on earth. Darwin’s ideas have been applied to law, culture, and politics.

But Darwin’s theory has been proven only in one sense: There is little question that all species on earth descended from a common ancestor. Overwhelming anatomical, genetic, and fossil evidence exists for that claim. But the crucial question remains: How did it happen? Darwin’s proposed mechanism — random mutation and natural selection — has been accepted largely as a matter of faith and deduction or, at best, circumstantial evidence. Only now, thanks to genetics, does science allow us to seek direct evidence. The genomes of many organisms have been sequenced, and the machinery of the cell has been analyzed in great detail. The evolutionary responses of microorganisms to antibiotics and humans to parasitic infections have been traced over tens of thousands of generations.

As a result, for the first time in history Darwin’s theory can be rigorously evaluated. The results are shocking. Although it can explain marginal changes in evolutionary history, random mutation and natural selection explain very little of the basic machinery of life. The “edge” of evolution, a line that defines the border between random and nonrandom mutation, lies very far from where Darwin pointed. Behe argues convincingly that most of the mutations that have defined the history of life on earth have been nonrandom.

Although it will be controversial and stunning, this finding actually fits a general pattern discovered by other branches of science in recent decades: The universe as a whole was fine-tuned for life. From physics to cosmology to chemistry to biology, life on earth stands revealed as depending upon an endless series of unlikely events. The clear conclusion: The universe was designed for life.
