Mr Tenacity

I think you will find that in most cases you have been sold a lie by "alternative" authors who hook up with a natural distrust those of us who have connected to spiritual reality have for the modern idea that science has replaced religion in credibility. These people propogate (mostly in their own minds its benign) things that make us excited because we know reality is far richer than this hum drum "if I don't see it then its not there" thing. You believe in the credibility of the bible and so you should realise it talks of a time where the 'number' of man will take pre-eminence. Secular humanism. Just because you know in your heart that there is something deeply wrong with man making himself like god (and I admit I'm assuming that is your conclusion), is no reason to cling to the writers of mystery who continually ignore facts and spice things up for those desperate to recapture some of the beauty of mystery that is one of the things symbolised by the garden of eden.

People like Philip Gardiner, Robert Bruce Baird and even youself, let alone the big names in alternative novels, are expressing some need in our society to find meaning behind the dross of modern living which is so disconected from reality, despite its great advantages over past ages. There is truth in the bible and there is very little truth in these theories, even less than the amount of truth in science (which at least doesn't claim to be the truth even though it is accepted by many as such).

The "broad horizon" that einstein spoke of with concern is no longer attainable, as it once was when philosophy, religion and science were one and the same. Even just in science, which is what Einstein was referring to, specialisation has degraded the investigator to a robot fullfilling his little part in the greater whole.

But that is no reason to accept weak rubbish theories that are just needy rather than reality. If you rest on truth you will see that these alternative writers care little for truth. In the latest Hancock/Bauval book Talisman they blame the catholic church for the worlds problems. In doing so they use an author who propoated nazi ideas which blame the jews for the worlds problems. Can you not see a pattern where evil knows it can play with us humans by ascribing all our problems to something external, whereas the bible tells us to look at how we ourselves are and remove the trouble we cause, before we go blaming some easy target. The search for truth is more difficult in our modern world than it has ever been. The knowledge of psychology has lead to significant powers being used for the benefit of consumer based bussiness. Rights are spoken of from the rooftops, whilst social guidance as to what generates the freedom to have rights in the first place is dismantled.

Don't become one of the mugs who resolve these issues by believing the bullshit of alternative writers. And don't accept science provides anything but partial guesses to deep mysteries. The force striving to persuade people in both cases knows full well that it would be defeated if truth and love in god were the only goals.
