GOD AND UNIVERSE (41)

GOD’s UNIVERSE IS UNIQUE AND LIFE ORIENTED

As stated before in FDTP Papers (www.FromDivinityToParadise.com) and LTP Papers (www.LightToParadise.com) evolution is about the spiritual ascension of planetary life culminating with human ascension and attaining the universe eternal life.

In the below Nightline article Nebadonia, The Local Universe Mother of Nebadon, talks about life oriented God’s universe where each human life is unique. (Nebadonia Lightline October 26, 2017, T/R Jerry Lane nytrayn@msn.com).

Nebadonia – “The greatest hallmark of God’s creativity are trillions and trillions of personal beings in participating in creation: each one is unique. And each one has a certain autonomy, a certain freedom due to their own spiritual nature of being co-creative. Personality is co-creative. In your day-to-day, minute-to-minute life you are co-creating everything you experience. This is your spiritual nature”.

On the other hand, planetary scientists still question the existence of God, His universe creation and life oriented universe. (http://www.newsweek.com/science-prove-god-doesnt-exist-vastness-space-indicates-700688)

Two articles mentioned here are far apart in statements about existence of God, universe, life and life’s purpose.

Secular scientists, when questioning the existence of God as Creator of universe and life are basing their theories on Hubble telescope pictures and data. Hubble telescope, as a piece of hardware, is not alive and has no insight into the universe spiritual and creative aspects and its life and therefore cannot provide any information about God and His living universe. So, atheistic scientific physical theories are strictly human secular postulates.   

Secular science has never accepted The Urantia Book and its revelation of Paradise, the God Supreme of time-space universe, the Local Universe of Nebadon Sovereigns (Michael and Nebadonia/Michaela), and (Christ) Michael’s of Nebadon incarnation on this planet Urantia as Jesus (Joshua Ben Joseph) as the closest anthropomorphic manifestation of God incarnated on earth two thousand years ago. (www.UrantiaBook.org)

Human mind has been and is over-controlled by secular material mammon system through which the Urantia’s secularists over-control human mind and its orientation in order to realize their mostly selfish material goals and purposes.

In the below article the author admits that Urantia planet is just a grain of sand in the vast universe but still questions the existence of God as creator of universe and its life.

CAN SCIENCE PROVE GOD DOESN’T EXIST? VASTNESS OF SPACE SUGGESTS THERE IS NO ALMIGHTY CREATOR (edit/ modif.)

By Emily Thomas  on 11/3/17

Scientists “now know” (!?) that the universe contains at least two trillion galaxies. It’s a mind-scrunchingly big place, very different to the conception of the universe we had when the world’s major religions were founded. So do the astronomical discoveries of the last few centuries have implications for religion?

Over the last few decades, a new way of arguing for atheism has emerged. Philosophers of religion such as Michael Martin and Nicholas Everitt have asked us to consider the kind of universe we would expect the Christian God to have created, and compare it with the universe we actually live in. They argue there is a mismatch. Everitt focuses on how big the universe is, and argues this gives us reason to believe the God of classical Christianity doesn’t exist.

To explain why, we need a little theology. Traditionally, the Christian God is held to be deeply concerned with human beings. Genesis (1:27) states: “God created mankind in his own image.” Psalms (8:1-5) says: “O Lord … What is man that You take thought of him…Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with glory and majesty!” And, of course, John (3:16) explains God gave humans his son out of love for us.

These texts show that God is human-oriented: human beings are like God, and he values us highly. Although we’re focusing on Christianity, these claims can be found in other monotheistic religions, too.

Not a human-oriented universe

If God is human-oriented, wouldn’t you expect him to create a universe in which humans feature prominently? You’d expect humans to occupy most of the universe, existing across time. Yet that isn’t the kind of universe we live in. Humans are very small, and space, as Douglas Adams once put it, “is big, really really big.”

Scientists estimate that the observable universe, the part of it we can see, is around 93 billion light years across. The whole universe is at least 250 times as large as the observable universe.

Our own planet is 93 million miles away from the sun. Earth’s nearest stars, the Alpha Centauri system, are four light years away (that’s around 25 trillion miles). Our galaxy, the Milky Way, contains anywhere from 100 to 400 billion stars. The observable universe contains around 300 sextillion stars. Humans occupy the tiniest fraction of it. The landmass of planet Earth is a drop in this ocean of space.

To paraphrase Adams, the universe is also really, really old. Perhaps over 13 billion years old. Earth is around four billion years old, and humans evolved around 200,000 years ago. Temporally speaking, humans have been around for an eye-blink.

Clearly, there is a discrepancy between the kind of universe we would expect a human-oriented God to create, and the universe we live in. How can we explain it? Surely the simplest explanation is that God doesn’t exist. The spatial and temporal size of the universe gives us reason to be atheists.

As Everitt puts it:

The findings of modern science significantly reduce the probability that theism is true, because the universe is turning out to be very unlike the sort of universe which we would have expected, had theism been true.

Other explanations?

The fact that atheism is the simplest reply to the mismatch doesn’t mean that other explanations aren’t possible. Perhaps God exists but his motives for not creating humans sooner, or on a bigger scale, are unknowable. The divine is, after all, mysterious.

Perhaps the swathes of space strung with gossamer nebulae serve some aesthetic purpose, beauty wrought on an inhuman scale. Or, perhaps, God exists but isn’t as human-oriented as we thought. Perhaps God values rocks and cosmic dust more highly than humans.

The problem with these rival explanations is that, as they stand, they are unsatisfying. They hint at reasons why God might create tiny humans in a gargantuan place but are a million miles away from fully explaining why. The weight of galaxies, and the press of years, seem to sweep us towards atheism.

*Those who are capable of moving beyond what they think is certain and can surrender to the evidence provided by their spiritual experiences, are better equipped to continue on their path of spiritual growth. These are the ones who after belonging to institutional mind over-control start questioning its dogma and decide to continue on their own journey of spiritual exploration. This is not some simple thing, because it often means for them to break ties with others who accept their peers only if they think the same way*

In the upcoming FDTP Papers Nebadonia’s transmission about the spirit, mind and uniqueness of life and everything in universe will be discussed further.
