Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unfortunately, modern evolutionary thinking in astronomy has caused many people to disconnect from the Bible's view of history, as they are taught that the universe is millions or even billions of years old. This book shows that the billions of evolutionary years taught in public schools are unnecessary and that one need only to look to the Creator of the Bible to explain the origin of the stars and the universe. Dr. Jason Lisle discusses and debunks popular evolutionary concepts such as the big bang and answers biblical questions like how the speed of light affects the Bible's account of history.

Download or read book Vedic Creationism written by Ashish Dalela and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-12 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that the universe was created by God often meets hostile opposition from proponents of rationality and science because unlike science that creates empirical laws, religious theories seem to make no verifiable predictions. But in Vedic Creationism, author Ashish K. Dalela shows that a personal theistic account of creation given in the Vedas has radical implications for the study of matter and questions of creation, including new verifiable predictions based upon a different conception of reality. An expansive examination of the meaning of the universe by comparing and contrasting varying philosophical vantages, Vedic Creationism covers the journey from Vedic notions on God's personality and conscious mind to the implication these ideas have for the origins of life and the attainment of quantum gravity. Dalela relates the ideas in Vedic philosophy with the current state of affairs in modern science including the mind-body problem, the unification of quantum and relativity theories, and the question of evolution and origins of life. Presenting new, forward-looking ideas, Vedic Creationism will help put the age-old wisdom of Vedas in a modern light and open new areas of dialogue.
Download or read book Six Causes written by Ashish Dalela and published by Shabda Press. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Journey from Consciousness to Matter In Vedic philosophy, creation is modeled as the creative activity of consciousness. Just as an artist creates a painting by first thinking about it and then embedding his ideas into matter, so the creator of the universe creates the world of objects by expressing meanings in His consciousness into undifferentiated matter. Creation Has Six Causes Creation in the Vedic view proceeds from the unconscious, to conscious experience, to material objects. Each of these three features has a subjective and objective aspect, thereby creating the six causes for which the author dedicates a chapter, as follows: The Personal Cause of Creation explores the properties of consciousness, its quest for meaning and self-knowledge and how that quest forms the basis for the creation of the universe. The Efficient Cause of Creation describes the mechanism by which the quest for meaning gradually becomes thoughts, desires, judgments, plans and actions, thereby creating various experiences. The Instrumental Cause of Creation discusses the Vedic view on the senses, mind, intelligence and ego as the instruments that experience meanings, and embed meanings into matter. The Formal Cause of Creation describes the nature of meanings and how these meanings are created as subtle information and then embedded into space-time to create differentiated objects. The Systemic Cause of Creation explains how information in the mind is transformed into energy which is then represented into matter as sound vibrations denoting meanings. The Material Cause of Creation describes how information is encoded as vibrations in space-time, and how modifications of these vibrations create other observable physical properties. The six causes are prefaced by a chapter discussing basic difficulties in knowing the past, the problem of meaning, how this changes our outlook about space and time, and how the solution requires consciousness to create the fundamental distinctions in terms of which everything is known. In the process, the book touches upon issues of intelligent design, creationism, the creation vs evolution debate and the unique Vedic view on it. The last two chapters treat the nature of God and His power, the nature of free will and how it interacts with matter, which creates karma and leads to repeated births and deaths (also known as reincarnation). How You Will Benefit from Six Causes Presented in lay person's language, and written for those who don't have any background in Vedic philosophy, Six Causes will allow you to assimilate a profound understanding of matter, conscious experience, the unconscious, God, philosophy of religion, morality, reincarnation, karma and time. In the process, you will also see many common misconceptions about Vedic philosophy such as impersonalism, polytheism and fatalism overturned. How Is This Book Different? Currently, the majority of the New Age books dealing in Vedic philosophy or Hinduism start from an impersonal interpretation of the Vedic texts. Not only does this negate the personal character of the soul and God but also fails to authentically describe the Vedic view of matter and the mind. While these books do point out deficiencies in modern materialism, they don't offer a concrete alternative that can be scientifically meaningful.There is no clear explanation of how conscious activity leads to karma and how consciousness itself is covered by the unconscious history of past experiences. This prevents many people from fully grasping the philosophical depth of the Vedas. Six Causes: The Vedic Theory of Creation tries to fill that gap.
Download or read book God and the History of the Universe written by Jarvis Streeter and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popular belief that a scientific understanding of reality is incompatible with a Christian one is simply wrong. Some Christian understandings of reality do conflict with some scientific understandings. But a thoroughly rational Christian understanding of the origin and history of the universe will be informed by the best scientific theories and the "facts" founded on them. This book weaves a narrative of the origin and history of the universe from the perspective of contemporary science with a Christian understanding of God and of God's role in the origin and history of the universe. At the center of this integrated narrative is the view that God, who is pure, unbounded Love, is Creator: the zest for life in the universe comes from God, and God is the source of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness in the universe. God is amazed and delighted at what God-and-the-world has created; God is saddened by ways creatures have fallen short of pure, unbounded Love, Truth, Beauty, and Goodness; and God's pure, unbounded Love keeps on trying to persuade all creatures toward Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.

Book excerpt: What is the origin of the universe? Inquiring readers will find compelling answers awaiting them in this book. Since the subject of the origin of the universe lies at the interface of science and religion, the author believes that we can get closer to the truth if we combine the unequivocal testimony of the Bible with the irrefutable evidences of science. This subject is elucidated in this profound, scholarly work, informed by scientific knowledge and biblical insight. The scientific perspective is explained in detail on the basis of the best ideas in cosmology. The biblical perspective is based on the interpretations of Genesis that are consistent both with other portions of Scripture and the best scientific evidence and thinking. An epilogue providing a masterful summary of the salient ideas in this book is also included. Author Emerson A. Cooper is a graduate of Oakwood College (B.A.), the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn (M.S. in Chemistry), and Michigan State University (Ph.D.). For forty-four years he has taught chemistry at a small liberal arts Christian college.

Download or read book Our Vibrating Universe written by Mary E Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-31 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do Bible and Science agree about the formation of our heavens and earth? How do ancient observations and descriptions correlate with modern knowledge? The ancients didn't express their knowledge of science in the same way we do today; however, there are phrases in the Bible that do correlate with scientific understanding of our universe, such as light and life. In the Bible, the heavens are expressed as water or a sea. Water is in constant motion and the sea's movement is seen in waves. Was this their way of expressing the vibratory nature of their existence? I am certain the phenomena of static electricity and other such oddities were experienced by the ancients. How did they describe these experiences? If we described static electricity to the ancients, would they understand what it is or would they have a different description that we could not understand? "Our Vibrating Universe" is a step in the direction of bringing the ancient and modern together within the content and context of Bible and science derived by observations from many years of Bible study and research.

Download or read book Creation Relativity written by J. Palmer Douglas and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All too often the believer's trust in the Bible is challenged by what scientists tell us about the universe. This is especially true regarding the age of the earth and the universe. If we follow the genealogies in the Bible, we find that the earth and the universe were formed something over 6,100 years ago. However, secular astronomers and cosmologists tell us the universe is approximately 13.2 billion years old. The Bible tells us that the celestial bodies were formed on the fourth day of Creation. Yet, astronomers can identify regions within galaxies where hundreds of stars are being formed each year. With countless visible galaxies billions of light years away from us, the evidence provided by modern day cosmology appears to give strong credence to the old earth and universe claim. That is until we take into account Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Creation Relativity: Einstein and the Bible reveals how the Theory of Relativity reconciles the claims of the Bible to modern cosmological evidence to conclusively and scientifically demonstrate that the Bible is correct in its claims regarding the age of the earth and the universe. J. Palmer Douglas, author of Why We Believe in Creationism, is a career science educator and an ordained pastor who is accustomed to presenting complex scientific and theological information in a simple, easy to understand manner. Written with the reader in mind, Creation Relativity: Einstein and the Bible explains in a plain, easy to understand conversational style the science and theology involved in determining how old the universe actually is, why light from galaxies billions of light years away needs only short periods of time to reach us, and how it is that we can see star-forming regions within galaxies, when the celestial bodies were all created on the fourth day. Additionally, Creation Relativity: Einstein and the Bible reveals the profound impact of Einstein's theories on our understanding of some of the most essential truths in the Bible. Creation Relativity: Einstein and the Bible will give the reader a new confidence in the Creation account presented in Genesis, as well as a renewed and greatly deepened appreciation of who we are to God and Who God is to us. Creation Relativity: Einstein and the Bible provides great support to the faith of the believer, and a powerful challenge to unbelievers to place their trust in God and the Bible.

Download or read book The Advaita Worldview written by Anantanand Rambachan and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2007 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title In this book, Anantanand Rambachan offers a fresh and detailed perspective on Advaita Vedanta, Hinduism's most influential and revered religious tradition. Rambachan, who is both a scholar and an Advaitin, attends closely to the Upanisads and authentic commentaries of Sankara to challenge the tradition and to reconsider central aspects of its current teachings. His reconstruction and reinterpretation of Advaita focuses in particular on the nature of brahman, the status of the world in relation to brahman, and the meaning and relevance of liberation. Rambachan queries contemporary representations of an impersonal brahman and the need for popular, hierarchical distinctions such as those between a higher (para) and lower (apara) brahman. Such distinctions, Rambachan argues, are inconsistent with the non-dual nature of brahman and are unnecessary when brahman's relationship with the world is correctly understood. Questioning Advaita's traditional emphasis on renunciation and world-denial, Rambachan expands the understanding of suffering (duhkha) and liberation (moksa) and addresses socioeconomic as well as gender and caste inequalities. Positing that the world is a celebrative expression of God's fullness, this book advances Advaita as a universal and uninhibited path to a liberated life committed to compassion, equality, and justice.
Download or read book The Cognitive Theoretic Model of the Universe A New Kind of Reality Theory written by Christopher Michael Langan and published by Mega Foundation Press. This book was released on 2002-06-01 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paperback version of the 2002 paper published in the journal Progress in Information, Complexity, and Design (PCID). ABSTRACT Inasmuch as science is observational or perceptual in nature, the goal of providing a scientific model and mechanism for the evolution of complex systems ultimately requires a supporting theory of reality of which perception itself is the model (or theory-to-universe mapping). Where information is the abstract currency of perception, such a theory must incorporate the theory of information while extending the information concept to incorporate reflexive self-processing in order to achieve an intrinsic (self-contained) description of reality. This extension is associated with a limiting formulation of model theory identifying mental and physical reality, resulting in a reflexively self-generating, self-modeling theory of reality identical to its universe on the syntactic level. By the nature of its derivation, this theory, the Cognitive Theoretic Model of the Universe or CTMU, can be regarded as a supertautological reality-theoretic extension of logic. Uniting the theory of reality with an advanced form of computational language theory, the CTMU describes reality as a Self Configuring Self-Processing Language or SCSPL, a reflexive intrinsic language characterized not only by self-reference and recursive self-definition, but full self-configuration and self-execution (reflexive read-write functionality). SCSPL reality embodies a dual-aspect monism consisting of infocognition, self-transducing information residing in self-recognizing SCSPL elements called syntactic operators. The CTMU identifies itself with the structure of these operators and thus with the distributive syntax of its self-modeling SCSPL universe, including the reflexive grammar by which the universe refines itself from unbound telesis or UBT, a primordial realm of infocognitive potential free of informational constraint. Under the guidance of a limiting (intrinsic) form of anthropic principle called the Telic Principle, SCSPL evolves by telic recursion, jointly configuring syntax and state while maximizing a generalized self-selection parameter and adjusting on the fly to freely-changing internal conditions. SCSPL relates space, time and object by means of conspansive duality and conspansion, an SCSPL-grammatical process featuring an alternation between dual phases of existence associated with design and actualization and related to the familiar wave-particle duality of quantum mechanics. By distributing the design phase of reality over the actualization phase, conspansive spacetime also provides a distributed mechanism for Intelligent Design, adjoining to the restrictive principle of natural selection a basic means of generating information and complexity. Addressing physical evolution on not only the biological but cosmic level, the CTMU addresses the most evident deficiencies and paradoxes associated with conventional discrete and continuum models of reality, including temporal directionality and accelerating cosmic expansion, while preserving virtually all of the major benefits of current scientific and mathematical paradigms.
