THE WORLD'S GREAT RELIGIONS

    Among the World's Great Religions the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is a belief that is found in nearly every all of them including Buddhism, the Baha'i Faith, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Humanism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Mohism, Sikhism, Shintoism, Taoism and Wicca.

  "Hear O' Israel, the LORD thy GOD is ONE LORD and beside him there is no other.

   Judaism teaches that our planet was created by a single, loving, all-knowing divinity, the one and ONLY GOD and that our lives are all part of a divine plan and a definite order. Sacred Jewish writings start at the very beginning of Creation and tell the story of God's earliest dealings with man, notably Abraham, "the father of many nations". According to the Torah, God's will for human behavior was first revealed to Moses and the Israelites at Mount Sinai. The Ten Commandments, which govern how humans are to live their lives, were a gift from God so that they might live in according to His will. They are, simply put: 1. Have no other gods. 2. Have no idols. 3. Honor God's name. 4. Honor the Sabbath day. 5. Honor your parents.  6. Do not murder.7. Do not commit adultery. 8. Do not steal. 9. Do not perjure yourself. 10. Do not crave other people's things.

    There are estimated to only be less than 14 million Jews worldwide today, some Orthodox, (traditional) some Conservative (more modern) and some non-religious. These ancient Hebrew teachings, traditions and examples laid a large part of the foundation of Western Civilization and still greatly influence our modern laws.

    In spite of the many outstanding contributions to world culture and science, one of the most amazing things about the Jewish people, the Jewish Religion and the Jewish Nation- is that they still exist today. This tiny nation is only nine miles wide and welcomes pilgrims of all faiths.  Jerusalem was the Holy City of the Hebrews long before it became a Holy City to three of the world's great religions. Since the times of the ancient Persian kings massive systematic efforts have been made to exterminate the Jewish people down to the last babe in arms...  but the light of this people has not gone out... this is what Hanukah, the festival of lights celebrated by Jews the world over symbolizes...

"If their teaching is of men, it will come to nothing, if it be from GOD nothing can stop it." ~ Gamaliel    

CHRISTIANITY - Sacred writings: The Old Testament & The New Testament

"Behold, the Lamb of GOD, Who taketh on the sins of the world". ~ John the Baptist

     Christianity is the World's largest religion with nearly two billion five hundred thousand. Christians believe the Bible is the protected and living Word of God Almighty and Jesus was divine as his only begotten son, that he lived a sinless life and rose from the dead on the third day and will come again to judge the world at the great harvest of souls. The Christian religion claims to be an offshoot of Judaism designed by the God of Abraham to reach the Gentiles (Non-Jews) and places its primary emphasis on love, forgiveness, and faith.

     " The keys of the kingdom of Heaven Jesus gave Peter: "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is for you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off... even as many as our Lord our God shall call."

    In Jerusalem, Holy City of the Christians the most famous Roman execution in history took place, Jesus Christ, ( 34 A.D.) who was only one of three thousand Jews crucified by the Romans  in Jerusalem that year alone. They were nailing Jews to the walls of the city because there were not enough scaffolds to satisfy the Romans lust for blood. Will Durant, secular humanist historian was troubled by the resurrection of Christ but still had to say: "...if we challenge the historicity of Jesus Christ, then Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and other notables of history would fade into legend because there is so much less evidence of their existence..."

The early Christians suffered 300 years of brutal and systematic persecution under the Pagan Roman Emperors. The ideal of martyrdom represented a new concept of suffering that inverted and subverted Roman ideals of honor, civic duty, and justice. The martyrs' willingness to fearlessly embrace a cause that led to brutal deaths were perceived as heroic and victorious. Like most of the other Great Religions of the World, it has numerous denominations and sub-groups and no central authority today.

ISLAM - Sacred writings: The Holy Koran ( Q'ran ) and The Hadith ( Sayings of the prophet )

"There is only ONE GOD and Mohammed is his prophet." ( peace be on him )

    A revival of the Abrahamic Covenant of promise in the 7th century in Saudi Arabia, Islam now reaches the entire world. The Koran ( Q'ran ) is actually the most tolerant of all the world's great religion's sacred texts regarding other faiths, explaining that the Jewish and Christian prophets were also valid and inspired by the same one true GOD of Abraham.

THE FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM
     According to the Holy Koran, faith without works is dead, and these are the five pillars of Islam: The declaration of faith: Professing that there is none worthy of worship except the GOD of Abraham, and that Mohammad (Peace Be on Him) is His Messenger to all the world and his life is to be a model. Prayers: Daily, prayers are offered five times a day as a duty towards Allah. Fasting the month of Ramadan. The Muslims during the month of Ramadan abstaining from feeding the flesh in any way from dawn to sunset. Zakkah: The literal meaning of Zakkah is purity, but strongly includes charity. Hajj : A Pilgrimage to the holy site of Makkah (Mecca) is to be performed once in a lifetime, if one can endure it physically or afford it financially.

      Islam, like Judaism, denies the divinity of Christ and believes in Angels. True Muslims believe in the Angels of Allah. They are purely spiritual and splendid beings made from fire as we were made from the Earth. They spend their days and nights in the worship of God. Islam, like Judaism and Christianity teaches that Lucifer, once chief of God's angels before the Earth was formed led a third of  them in a rebellion and were cast down. They are called demons today and any religion of any other than the ONE GOD of Abraham is the worship of demons or simply vain. Islam is the world's second largest religion with over one billion three hundred thousand and also among the world's fastest growing religions with large followings in Europe, all over Asia, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas as well as it's Arabian lands of origin. Illustrating Islam proved to be a bit limiting since heroic equestrian poses of Muhammad, (peace be on him) would offend the faithful. Instead, I elected to depict the "Call to Prayer" at the holy shrine in Jerusalem, one of the many important sacred sites of the Muslims being visited by pilgrims..."The Dome of the Rock" is built directly on top of the original Hebrew Temple.

  INTOLERANCE: If something does not irritate you, you cannot be tolerating it. Tolerance takes great strength. These, the monotheistic faiths of the World's Great Religions all worship the ONE GOD of Abraham; whose beautiful teachings lead not to grudges, war, and hate... but to forgiveness, peace, and love...

SECTION TWO: POLYTHEISM:

And now for our 2nd major grouping, the worship of, or belief in more than one god.

Ask 100 Pagans: "What is Paganism?" and you're likely to get 100  different answers. Through the ages it has often been characterized by Animism, Polytheism, the worship of Nature Spirits & or the practice of Demon Worship. This includes the massive numbers who follow Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Shamanism, & many other religions today.  

 Hinduism is the world's third largest organized religion, after Christianity and Islam estimated to have at least one billion one hundred thousand followers, ninety percent of which are estimated to live in India, its place of origin. It is a very ancient belief system like Judaism dating into "pre-history" and has no single founder. Hinduism calls for the belief in multiple deities and according to some Hindu literature, there are more than 330 million of them.  One of the greatest of their practices is Vaishnavism, and the worship of Krishna is an important part of it. Khrishna is looked upon to be the full manifestation of Vishnu, the supreme God, not too terribly unlike the Christian's concept of Christ as the Earthly manifestation of Jehovah.

A SHINTO KAMI (A Kami is a Shinto or Buddhist revered spirit or god) "The Love Spell of the Tengu" MMX from Japanese traditional beliefs. The Tengu was sometimes a very angel-like nature spirit with dark wings that often appeared as a woman and cast diverse kinds of spells.

Hinduism has many sub-groups and important sacred texts like The Vedas, The Upanishads and The Bhagavad Gita but basically teaches these things: That the  world is one large family and is devoid of the concepts of heresy, apostasy, and blasphemy. Hindus believe that the soul is reincarnated, in a cycle of rebirth. It teaches that a soul is able to undergo numerous lifetimes even as animals. This belief in Animism, or the belief that divinity is in everything causes many Hindus to embrace vegetarianism. The past actions in lives that you have led, determine the person, or animal you are and even the situation you are in today. (Karma)  Hindus follow paths leading to love and devotion, right actions, and wisdom. They practice many rituals, enjoin pilgrimage and observe many societal traditions and  religious festivals.  Karma is a very important belief and deals with our free will. It stands for the cause and effect of an individual’s choices and the belief that "what comes around goes around", whether it is a positive or negative act and should never be confused with fate. ~ The person whose mind is always free from attachment, who has subdued the mind and senses, and who is free from desires, attains the supreme perfection of freedom from Karma through renunciation. ~ Bhagavad Gita  The Four Noble Truths of Buddhism:  1.) Life as we know it ultimately is suffering. 2.) Suffering is caused by our desires. 3.) This suffering ends when the desires stop. This is achieved by overcoming delusion and desire and entering the enlightened state. 4.) freedom and enlightenment are attained by following the path laid out by the Buddha.

Buddhism is another great religion of the World with over 350 million followers and has a variety of traditions, beliefs and practices, and worships deities, bodhisattvas, and demons. It shares the belief in re-incarnation and paths to love and devotion, right living and wisdom with Hinduism and others. Some Buddhists also believe in a goddess, a symbol of compassion, called Kwan Yin in China and Kwannon in Japan.  Buddhists share some beliefs in common with Shinto, the ancient religion of Japan like the Kami. (An example of one Kami, a Tengu is shown above left).    Taoism or Daoism is also a major world religion, dating back at least two millennia with around 220 million followers today and includes many branches and folk religions. Taoist deities, like the Buddhist or Hindu pantheons, represented many characteristics and had diverse ceremonies. The Three Jewels of the Tao are moderation, humility, and compassion. Western Neo-Pagan Religions are estimated to have over 90 million followers. Like Neo- Paganism today, Religions of Ancient times... the Egyptians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, Celts, Vikings and others then and now (excluding human sacrifice) share amazingly similar beliefs the world over springing up without contact with one another...

   

STRIKING SIMILARITIES AND INFLUENCES OF WORLD PAGAN RELIGIONS

Are these all basically subdivisions of one abiding faith all over the world?

    A striking characteristic of these pagan religions is the belief in Animism, that all things are inhabited by spirits such as fairies. The spirits are believed to surround mankind in all aspects of life and death. This all pervading spiritual presence is a feature common to many polytheistic religions; another is that these spirits are both male and female. This concept of divine partnership is a prominent aspect in many polytheistic religions from ancient times to this very day. Like all faiths, Pagans have been  persecuted, notably in Europe during the middle ages, as well as other times in history, even in the Americas. In closing let me say this: I have had teachers treat folks as though believing in God made you automatically stupid. If you encounter this, Remember: Believing in God does not make you stupid; Galileo believed, Newton believed, Einstein believed. So can you.

"I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won;
there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible,
but in the end they always fall."
~ Mahatma Gandhi

With respect to its great contributions to society, I think it is important to make a case that science is really affecting society more like a religion now than a field of study or a resource base of useful information. Many everyday people do not understand it at all and accept ALL its teachings on faith. 

Science is supposed to be a tool and a path of study for the benefit of mankind and it is. I love Science and greatly appreciate it's benefits. I feel strongly that many scientists are heroes and deserve honorable mention and some truly deserve places of great honor in the hallowed halls of history. Breakthroughs in medical science are saving lives everyday in ways undreamed of just to name only one of so many valuable fields. These are great men and women.

Unfortunately some scientists and academic professionals are not so noble and have perpetrated deliberate frauds and cover-ups of important discoveries. Some have even been criminals or have brought things into the world we all know about that we would have been better off without such as thermonuclear weapons and pollution. I believe it has also become things it should never have become.

 I shall briefly examine these frauds and cover-ups and try to explain what I have seen that has made me feel that science is really affecting society more like a religion now than a field of study.

Since most of the attacks on religion by the scientific and academic communities have been directed at The Bible and Judeo- Christianity rather than Islam or World Paganism and they have had an impact on the respectability of all the world's great religions, I shall examine and de-bunk these attacks with scientific and academic methods. The major criticism of science with regards to The Bible has been that it requires a leap of faith to believe that GOD created the world, yet Science also has several leaps of faith of it's own. The Big Bang theory cannot be proven as world renowned cosmologist Steven Hawking has stated and, if it cannot be proven - believing in it - in Hawking's own words requires a "Leap of Faith". 

Until a theory is proven in a lab or in the field, it is Philosophy, not Physics. 

           EVOLUTION IS NOT A LAW OF SCIENCE. Darwin's Theory of Evolution was proposed in 1859 and almost a hundred and fifty years later it has still never achieved the status of a Law of Science. This is because of the Missing Link. There is no proof of a link between man and ape, hence the term "The missing link". This blind faith in Evolution has been taught with religious dogmatism in the public schools for generations and is still merely a theory. The Theory of Evolution, not the Law of Evolution  is a mere UNPROVEN hypothesis, which the dictionary defines as "a mere assumption or guess or a proposition, or a group of proposals, offered as an explanation for the occurrence of some specified group of phenomena."

          Yet this "mere assumption or guess" is taught to children in public schools and young adults in colleges as if it HAD been proven beyond any doubt.  It was once a Law of Science that the atom was the irreducible particle of matter. At Alamogordo, New Mexico in 1945 the atom was split and the atomic bomb explosion in the desert blasted that Law of Science out of existence.

             Now, if a Law of Science is so unreliable, I ask you, why is a mere theory like Evolution regarded so highly? Simple. It is about political control, not about truth. 

The Missing Link between Man and Ape

In 1912 A.D. a respectable geologist named Arthur S. Woodward and a lawyer named Charles Dawson offered their new “fossil discovery” to the London Geological Society. The “artifacts” included a thick portion of a human skull, a fragment of an ape-like jaw, some animal remains and some primitive stone tools. These items found in southern England in a place called Piltdown were estimated to be 500,000 years old.

For 40 years the remains were accepted by the academic community as an important part of our evolutionary development. Piltdown Man was declared genuine and called the “missing link” between apes and man by important scientists of the time. Because of this newfound “proof” men of God were openly ridiculed as ignorant and improperly educated. Piltdown man was debunked four decades later by chemical tests proving the jaw and skull were not the same age, nor very old. It was a DELIBERATE fake. The bones had been chemically treated and thoroughly stained to make them appear prehistoric. Recognizable anatomical features were broken off and filed down.

Why did this fraud by lawyer Charles Dawson fool the experts? For many reasons, but it was never seriously questioned because the scientists of the time were delighted by the way it validated their evolutionist beliefs. For more details of the debunking read: ”The Piltdown Forgery” by Joseph S. Weiner, the classic account of the most famous and successful hoax in science. The new and revised 2002 edition is commonly available. Today, the term “Piltdown” is a term of ridicule, used to label fraudulent research, but the impact on the lives of billions of trusting people has had powerful political implications to this day.

The prover proves what the thinker thinks and prejudice and political power seem more important than the truth or the consistent practice of the scientific method. If truth were important to them, they would use the scientific method when criticizing The Bible but they do not. The scientific method requires going to the source. Yet for these famous disparagements they use the King James version instead of the original Hebrew. Translated in 1611 by non-Christian King James of England for political reasons the K.J.V. is one of the Colossal monuments of English Prose. The King James Translation is not at all accurate enough to use as the sole source for the defense of the Biblical Text. 

         Consider this example: One of the greatest conflicts between Science and the Bible is the teaching that the world was created in six solar days of 24 hours each. The word " yom" in the source, the original Hebrew text, which was translated as "Solar Day" had 56 other choices. Modern English has more than 60,000 words. Biblical Hebrew had 3,000. The average English vocabulary has 6,000. My favorite choice of the 56 other options:" an unimaginably long but complete period of time" harmonizes with science perfectly. Another choice is: "time itself". So as we can see, going to the source and using the Scientific Method brings very different results than not going to the source.

           Getting past this, the order in which life appeared was identical to the theory of evolution's claims in the Book of Genesis, leaving us to discuss the stars, the next main source of conflict between Science and the Bible. The Hebrew text says "a swaddling band around the Earth dissolved, revealing the stars. The Prover proves what the thinker thinks. Here's a fun thought - What if GOD is in control of evolution? What if it's his hobby? What if there is really no conflict between Science and Religion? The scientists cannot disprove the existence of GOD any more than they can prove the Big Bang happened. 

   Albert Einstein saw no conflict between science and religion. Like Galileo, Newton and other immortal greats of science before him, Einstein believed in GOD.

        Therefore, I present to you this idea: Modern Scientific beliefs are based upon a leap of faith in the big bang theory. It has become a belief system based on faith and therefore another form of religion. Scientists, like priests can explain their beliefs but the everyday people accept it all on faith. Scientists and doctors are the priests of this new religion, getting angry and crying "heresy" when anyone respectfully disagrees with them. I once had one of my supervisors in the UT anthropology department explain to me for three hours on a research expedition in mathematical terms how something could have ALWAYS existed, needing no beginning point. When we agreed that the math was good he then made a COLOSSAL leap of faith, saying "This proves the Universe has always existed and there is no GOD." In one second I countered;" I could just as easily jump to the conclusion that this proves the existence of an eternal GOD." It is this "jumping to conclusions" or  as Steven Hawking put it; "making leaps of faith." that infuses philosophy with their physics. Then there is the infusion of politics; a perfect example is 

The Myth of Carbon 14 dating: 

Educated people know that carbon 14 dating is totally irrelevant to the theory of evolution. Scientists never state that carbon 14 dating offers proof for the theory of evolution. Ignorant evolutionists, however, believe carbon 14 dating proves the theory of evolution, and stubbornly make that claim based on faith in what they were told in our learning institutions. They were DELIBERATELY lied to to gain and maintain POLITICAL POWER. I will explain; Carbon 14 dating is ONLY reliable for five thousand years as even its creator himself admitted in 1972. Carbon 14 or Radiocarbon Dating was first devised in 1949 by Dr. Willard Libby. It is based on the rate of decay of carbon 14 or its "half-life" of 5730 years. This method offers reliable dates up to 5,000 years ago, but its results require correction since Dr. Libby's belief that the levels of carbon-14 in the atmosphere were identical through the ages has long since been disproved. Volcanoes and floods for example skew the results to the point where guesswork or leaps of faith are required even in dating organic material from historic times. Dr. Libby once expressed his shock when he found that radio carbon dates for human artifacts extended back only 5000 years and older dates were found to be unreliable. [W.F.Libby, `Radiocarbon Dating', (Chicago, 1952), pp. 4-9]  [CRSQ, 1972, 9:3, p. 157] By this time tens of thousands of C-14 dates had been published from tests in laboratories around the world. The textbooks and curriculums have yet to be revised. Instead, a MYTH is being taught in our schools.  There are exciting new methods but wild guesses about the amount of Carbon 14 in the atmosphere do not PROVE anything. Believers in GOD are called foolish and ignorant on the political strength of this deliberate lie that Carbon 14 dating proves evolution.

       The gross disrespect and intolerance I have seen of certain members of the scientific and academic communities and their disciples toward anyone who disagrees with them is just as arrogant and abusive as racial, sexual, religious, or any other kind of prejudice. 

 After the newspapers reported the missing link fraud (The Piltdown Man) to the world as fact, around 1912 and for decades afterward in educated circles it was considered a mark of ignorance to believe the Biblical record. There was little scientific evidence available then to support the Bible's claims and academic circles decided that was the end of the matter and as the decades moved on, the scientific and academic communities stubbornly ignored tidal waves of new SCIENTIFIC evidence. 

One excellent example of cover-up that still has tremendous political implications is in what the Bible says about Abraham.  In the early 20th century experts in the field of archaeology insisted that no civilization even existed in UR of the Chaldeans when the Bible records that Abraham lived there. On the basis that no evidence was currently available they declared Abraham a mythical character. 

        20th century evidence however has proven beyond any question the existence of an advanced civilization in UR of the Chaldeans during the 21st and 20th centuries B.C.-That was Abraham's day! Abraham's historicity is also confirmed by ancient inscriptions that bear the names of almost very town mentioned in Ch. 12-14 of Genesis and one even has his father's name. Archeological discoveries also show these towns were in existence until about 2,000 B.C.- but not later! 

No longer can the Bible's or Koran's critics get away with accusing believers of being naive or foolish today when they believe what the Bible says about Abraham like they used to in the 20th century. 

This is critical to the belief systems of the world's great monotheistic religions Islam, Judaism and Christianity who all claim ascendancy from Abraham. Why isn't this commonly taught in schools? Many scientific professionals openly abuse the authority of their positions to push their personal beliefs and ignore the confirmed scientific data to hold on to political power. Other Biblical confirmations from modern Archaeology include: Date and manner of Jericho's fall, The exodus from Egypt, Major characters from the book of Daniel and many others. The SCIENTIFIC proof is all there waiting for you if you take the time to look it up. 

           Certain scientists and academics like to act like they know everything about the origins of the Earth. They don't. Many of our long taught ideas about planetary science have recently been proven completely wrong. Did you know that The Gas Giants on the outside of our solar system and the surface of the Planet Venus are DRASTICALLY different than what I was authoritatively taught about them as a boy in school?  If they can't even tell us reliably how the solar system is today how can we rely on their ideas about its distant unobservable origins? Yet even in the face of constantly changing SCIENTIFIC evidence most scientists are prone to UTTER DOGMATISM about their belief system. Science is supposed to be the sum of the best knowledge we have at the time - incomplete but always learning, always growing- but sometimes making serious mistakes. Why admit things were COMPLETELY wrong about planetary science within the solar system but NEVER MENTION the discovery of the unreliability of Carbon 14 dating or the discovery of archaeological evidence of Abraham being a historical figure? Simple. There is no danger to the foundation of the belief system of this new religion or it's social and political power base. 

         Mankind's only hope for continued survival on this planet is to learn to tolerate each others differences and live in peace with one another and in harmony with the environment. We're all in the same boat...

   I do not believe that scientists should be exempt from this challenge to be tolerant, since they created the very things that could well destroy us, such as thermonuclear weapons & pollution.

We all have a lot of work to do if we are to survive. I write this in defense of my faith and of the faiths of others which have been disparaged by these attacks on the sacred writings of the  world's great religions...If we're going to have a better world we're going to need both better leaders and better citizens.

 I personally believe that any belief in a higher power that must be answered to makes us better citizens than if we believed that we are the ultimate life form in the Universe.
