Pissed

I can always give my best anytime. I can always give extra service if I want to. But if a company abuses my confidence and my kindness, there’s a limit to everything.

this is what’s happening with the company i am working for right now. To be honest, I really want to resign for four reasons. One, they gave me empty promises. They promised to give us a tax-free salary. They reneged. Second, my commission has not been given. I’ve been waiting for more than 3 months already to a measly US$ 1,400. I have already made four events and my last events have been blockbusters and they still have’nt given it. Kinikitaan ka ng mga bukang ina!

Kung ganoon pala ang polisiya nila, na pera-pera lang, bakit hindi ganun ang ginagawa nila sa mga empleyado nila? Mga buwaya! Malapit na talaga akong sumabog at pag ako nabanas na talaga, ipapasara ko ang kumpanyang ito sa Pilipinas. Huwag nila akong hamunin at talagang abusado na talaga ang kumpanyang ito.

The Giants in the Bible

I remember one scene in the epic trilogy “ The Lord of the Rings”, where the main heroes of the film battled giants of enormous sizes. The question is— do giants existed sometime in the history of men?

The bible tells of a time when giants lived among men. In Genesis 6:4, we find that there was a time when the “sons of God” slept with the “daughters of men”. This union between flesh and holy, spiritual beings bore offsprings described as “mighty men which were of old, men of renown”. Why are they men of renown? Because they were of enormous height, “giants in the earth.” And how big are they?

In Amos 2:9, we find that these giants were of the height as the cedars of Lebanon[1] and as “strong as an oak”. (What the prophet was trying to describe was the height of the inhabitants of heaven, which, in the bible was described as “cedars of Lebanon”. What is meant by `strong as an oak’? It means that these giants were hard to kill. They cannot be smitten) They probably have an average height of “six cubits and a span”, which in 1 Samuel 17:4 was written as the height of Goliath, a Philistine from Gath. They were probably clothed in warriors clothes, being described as warriors of old in the bible. One cubit is equivalent to about 3 feet, so the average height of a biblical giant could be about 18 feet “and a span”, meaning about 18.5 feet.

Armaments

Anakims were warriors of old. As warriors, they were equipped with sophisticated weaponry of the time such as a sword, a shield and a spear or staff. (1 Samuel 17:45). The sword probably was the choice weapon, for in battle at the valley of Elah, Goliath had a sword which was made “like no other,” as what David said (1 Sam 21:9). It seems that these giants from Gath where Goliath lived had weaponry like no other they seen before. One example was the spear of the brother of Goliath named Lahmi (1 Chro 20:5) which was described with “staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam”.

And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. (2 Samuel 21:19)

The common weight of these spears could be between 300-400 shekels of brass. (2 Samuel 21:16). No other reference can be found in the bible about their physical attributes, except that they have six toes in each foot and six fingers in each hand. (1 Chro. 20:6). Probably, they looked human, but with this anomaly in their hands and feet.

 

These gigantuan beings caused havoc and violence on the earth, leading God to decide to annihilate all flesh. In the Great flood, these anakins were destroyed along with all flesh (Gen. 7:12). But were they?

Giants after the flood

 

Apparently after the great flood, these giants called the sons of Anak (Deut 9:2), probably referring to them as the children of a son of God named “Anak” lived, suggesting that the union between the sons of God and the daughters of men continued even after the time of Noah. The last reference to these giants was in the book of Samuel, at the time of David, suggesting that, probably all of these giants were annihilated at that time? Or were they?

The Giants at the wilderness of Paran

Moses and the Israelites encountered giants known as Amalekites, in Numbers 13:33 in the wilderness of Paran. When the the Israelites went out and journeyed outside Egypt, they found that all the cities of the plain, in Gilead, and all of Bashan were part of the Kingdom of Og, the land of the giants (Deut 3:13). This kingdom is ruled by a giant, said to be one of the children of Ammon with a height of nine cubits (about 27 feet tall)  and with a girth of about four cubits (12 feet in girth). He sleeps in a bedstead of iron. (Deut 3:10-11). This king lives in Ashtaroth and at Edrei (Joshua 12:4). Moses destroyed this kingdom (Joshua 13:12)

Aside from this kingdom, there’s a valley of the giants which is located at the valley of Hinnom (Joshua 15:8, 18:16). There were also giants in the land occupied by the Perizzites (Joshua 17:15). These giants, the bible say, were all annihilated by the Israelites, first by Moses, and then of Joshua. A few generations later, the last of these giants were slain by David and his army.

Amorites

These sons of anak were of three kinds. The first kind of giants called themselves Amorites (Deut 1:28). In Amos 2:9, we find a reference to the Amorites where it was said that they have a height “like the height of the cedars (the average height of a cedar is 40 meters or about 120 feet)  and he was as strong as a oak”, referring of course to the Amorites as giants. Before the occupation of the Israelites of Palestine, Amorite territory extended to Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon (Joshua 10:5). They were all destroyed (Joshua 9:10).

Some remnants of the Anakims were also destroyed by Joshua’s army. In Joshua 11:21-22, it says that Joshua’s hordes cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, the mountains of Judah, and Israel. However, Joshua was unable to defeat those living in Gaza, Gath and in Ashdod. Hebron, which was called Kirjatharba (the land of the great anakim warrior named Arba) was also spared and given to Caleb, a lieutenant of Joshua (Joshua 14:15)

The Emims and the Zamzummims

In the land of Moab, there lived the Effims who dwelt with the children of Esau in the wilderness (Deut 2:10-11). They were described as “tall and mighty” but possibly different from the anakims in physical forms. It’s not clear whether they were destroyed by God or allowed to live in Moab. They were probably killed when the armies of Joshua routed the Moabites.

Another kind of giant, the Zamzummims, lived in the land being occupied at that time by the Ammonites. They were destroyed by God (Deut. 2:20-21).

The Battle of David with the Four Giants of Gath

After Joshua, the bible narrated four great battles waged by King David. The first of these battles occurred in an undisclosed place, possibly in the territory of the Philistines where Isbhibenob, a son of a giant was killed by Abishai the son of Zeruiah (2 Samuel 21:16-17). This giant nearly killed David with his new sword, but apparently the king lived (2 Samuel 21:16).

Another battle at Gob saw another giant, Saph, killed by Sibbechai the Hushathite (2 Samuel 21:180 in the battle at Gezer (1 Chro 20:4). These battles extended at the heart of Gath, where the armies of David encountered and killed a giant with six fingers and six toes, also born to a giant (verse 20 of 2 Samuel 21). The last battle, again at Gob, saw the death of Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite, who has a staff “of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam (2 Samuel 21:19, 1 Chro 20:5). It seems that these giants were brothers of Goliath the Gittite and were all born to “the giant in Gath” (2 Samuel 21:22). No reference were given as to the name of this giant who sired these giants in Gath.

Giants in our midst?

Is it possible for these giants to still exist among us? Yes. The bible did not say that they were annihilated altogether. So, is it possible for us to meet or see giants like this one in the Middle East? Not entirely sure. One thing though– they might be lurking somewhere in the plains and valleys of Mount Horeb or Sinai. Or probably other than those places.


[1] This reference to “cedars of Lebanon” has a mystical meaning. It refers to the inhabitants of heaven, those who reside in the garden of God, in Eden. In Ezekiel 31:8, we find a description of these cedars “The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.” Likewise in Ezekiel 31:16: “ I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth. “

A New Theory of Creation

In the beginning before time, there is God. Described as an Eternal Spirit, God dwells the vastness of a realm of pure light. This realm, called Eternity, is a limitless universe of the purest of the pure, crystal-clear life-giving energies. These energies exist as waves. It has no boundaries and no beginning. [1]God inhabits this entire universe, filling it with His glory.

At one point, God decided to create the heavens. He created a mirror-image of Himself which He called Wisdom (or some call it the Spirit). God ordered Wisdom to go out of His realm and create another universe, smaller than Eternity.

Wisdom then set out to create the heavens. Multiple versions suddenly emerged with God choosing just one. [2]God planned this universe to become the country of spiritual beings, another pure dimension. It was to be a spiritual Kingdom, to be administered by Wisdom and peopled with pure spirits.

From an everlasting fire emanating from God’s glory, heaven’s denizens were created: angels, cherubims and heavenly beasts who were created to worship the Eternal Spirit. Their purpose is simple: worship the Eternal God forever.

At the northernmost of this Kingdom, Wisdom created Mount Zion. On top of this mountain, Wisdom created the House of God with seven pillars. At the center of this House, we see a fountain of water. Described as waters of life, the source of this fountain can be seen to be directly above it, from the realm of God Himself. A throne can also be seen at the midst of the House. Four powerful Spirits guard this throne. From the House, the water flows down the mountain to a river.

Along the river, we see a shining City. Called the True Jerusalem, this city is the true City of God. Its inhabitants are lesser gods, called angels and cherubims.

At some point in heaven’s time, one of the lesser gods, whom God previously favored among His creations, rebelled. Lucifer, which Wisdom named as the son of the Morning, was so engrossed with his beauty, plotted to dislodge Wisdom as heaven’s appointed administrator. With his cunning tongue, he deceived many of heaven’s citizens to rebel against Wisdom. Leading an army of angels, Lucifer tried to ascend the House of God and occupy the throne as heaven’s king. They were repulsed by an army led by the archangel Michael. The defeated heavenly beings were gathered in one place.

 

Their sin reached God in His realm. An angry God ordered their deportment from heaven, which was out of God’s pure glory. Since the heavens cannot be filled with these rebellious creatures, God ordered Wisdom to create an antiverse—a material universe which Lucifer and his minions would inhabit until the time it contracts or dies. Time was created, signifying a definitive death of creation as punishment of sin. [3]

 

Thus, the concept of the material or known universe was born.

 

Dropping a small atom the size of a pebble[4] some 13.6 billion earth years ago in heaven, this atom violently collided with light, creating seven ripples (or now what we call `dimensions’). Wisdom then chose one circle (or dimension) which became the known universe. The resultant circle in heaven caused a cosmic collision of light and atoms, creating electrons and positrons. Science called this event the “Big Bang”. The Universe is about 1000 times smaller than its present size. Light can propagate without hindrance: the Universe suddenly becomes transparent. The Cosmic Microwave Background radiation that we detect today is that ‘first light’.

 

The cosmic collision created multiple versions of one universe, like waves.[5] Within just a few seconds after the Big Bang, a single history had already come to dominate the Universe. This early quantum mixture came from a superposition of ever more different versions of the known universe, instead of a unique history.

 

In a second, this universe grew to a thousand times the size of our Solar system and the temperature drops to 1 MeV, equal to 10,000 million degrees. Neutrons and protons combine to form the first nuclei: first deuterium, then helium and other helium. This event is called in physics as the primordial nucleosynthesis, lasting several minutes.

 

Three minutes past after the Big Bang, the temperature of the universe remained in the thousand million degrees, still too hot for atomic nuclei to capture electrons and form real elements.

 

The Universe keeps expanding. It is too hot yet for electrons to be captured by the atomic nuclei. Electrons wander freely and are therefore able to interact with the photons (light ‘particles’) as a result, light is trapped and cannot propagate more than a very short distance before encountering an electron. Therefore the Universe is opaque.

 

But about 300 000 years later, the Universe has cooled enough (to some 3000°C) to allow protons to capture electrons, and form neutral hydrogen atoms (in a phenomenon called ‘recombination’ or ‘decoupling’).

 

Three billion earth years past and we see the universe still expanding yet dropping its temperature. This allowed the elementary particles to suddenly merged together in one gaseous state with high-temperature fluidity. A fraction of a second, these elementary particles formed into fermionic matter or what scientists called a soup of quark-gluon plasma. This soup lasted for mere microseconds as the quarks and gluons joined in various combinations while the universe expanded and cooled.

 

As everything is created in pairs, the resulting mixture created matter and its mirror-image, the antimatter, in equal amounts. Wisdom then intervened to cause matter and antimatter to annihilate each other. The resultant Charge Parity (CP) violation produced dark energy, expanding the known universe as we see today.

 

During this period, the inflation process began and in an infinitesimal fraction of a second, this cosmos becomes extremely large. Dark energy caused the dissymmetry in relativity. Wisdom then allowed the physical quantum laws to expand the universe at the rate we see today. It directed dark energy to maintain equilibrium between celestial elements.

 

Wisdom then stretched the universe by allowing its mean energy density to equal its critical density. This is equivalent to a mass density of 9.9 x 10-30 g/cm3, which is equivalent to only 5.9 protons per cubic meter. Of this total density, we now know the breakdown to be:

 

·        4% Atoms, 23% Cold Dark Matter, 73% Dark Energy. Thus 96% of the energy density in the universe is in a form that has never been directly detected in the laboratory. The actual density of atoms is equivalent to roughly 1 proton per 4 cubic meters.

·        Fast moving neutrinos do not play any major role in the evolution of structure in the universe. They would have prevented the early clumping of gas in the universe, delaying the emergence of the first stars, in conflict with the new WMAP data.

·        The data places new constraints on the Dark Energy. It seems more like a “cosmological constant” than a negative-pressure energy field called “quintessence”. But quintessence is not ruled out.

 

When it is at a temperature of 1000 GeV (about 10 million million degrees), the forces of nature assume their present properties (such as gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak forces) and the ‘quarks’, the elementary particles that are the building blocks of matter, wander freely.

 

The Universe is roughly the size of our Solar System today, and the temperature drops to 1 GeV (10 thousand million degrees). It is cool enough for quarks to combine and make the particles in the atomic nucleus, protons and neutrons. These particles are called hadrons, so this period is often called the ‘quark-hadron transition’.

 

The rapid expansion of the universe after the big bang magnified these tiny imbalances, said Bertschinger, with gravity causing matter — both dark and bright — to congeal around the unbalanced areas.

 

The dark matter condensed first because its intangible nature makes it frictionless. Ordinary matter was slower to congeal because its momentum was dampened by colliding with itself and with particles of cosmic radiation. But the gravity of dark matter eventually pulled the bright matter along in its wake.

 

“The normal matter flows gravitationally into this sort of dark matter scaffolding,” said Massey, “and is constructed within that into the galaxy and the stars we see today.”

 

The dark matter and its gravity shaped bright matter in a manner loosely reminiscent of how the texture of the ground shapes puddles of rainwater. As the “puddles” started to form in the early universe, they began to exert gravity themselves, making for bigger puddles.

 

“Gravity is an attractive force. It builds little things into medium-sized things, medium-sized things into big things, and over time it builds up the structures,” said Eric Linder, an astrophysicist at the University of California, Berkeley.

 

Over time, the gravity from the medium-sized and large structures that formed first began pulling on matter from every direction. Since dark matter is frictionless, it was twisted and shaped by gravity alone into increasingly ornate and complex shapes — clumps, clusters, and what Massey calls “filaments.”

 

The Universe is about 1000 times smaller than its present size. Light can propagate without hindrance: the Universe suddenly becomes transparent. The Cosmic Microwave Background radiation that we detect today is that ‘first light’.

 

Soon after recombination (The Dark Age)

 

The matter is now cool and luminous. Initial ‘clots’ of matter start to grow by gravitational attraction. This process is still unknown, but involves both the matter that we can see (’baryons’) and so-called ‘Dark Matter’.

 

The first stars form when the lumps of matter grow to about 10 million times the mass of our Sun, when the Universe is about one thirtieth of its current size. The lumps of matter (containing stars) coalesce to form galaxies and clusters of galaxies.

 

The first stars produce lots of ultraviolet radiation which ionises most of the neutral hydrogen (that is, liberating the electrons from the protons), thereby ending the so-called ‘Dark age’ of the Universe.

 

1000 million years after the Big Bang

 

The Universe is a fifth of its present size. Observations indicate that there are already fully formed galaxies. Therefore galaxy formation must have started much earlier. When the Universe is half its present size, the nuclear reactions inside the stars have already produced most of the chemical elements that are needed to make Earth-like planets.

 

10 000 million years after the Big Bang

 

About 5000 million years ago, our Sun was formed from the collapse of a cloud of dust and gas, producing a very average- looking star.

 

The remnants from the formation of the Sun, swirling in a disk around our infant star, gradually coalesce into the planets that form part of our Solar System. 4500 million years ago, the Earth and the inner planets form with rocky mantles and molten interiors, while more distant planets become gaseous giants.

 

Around 700 million years ago, one of the worlds created, the earth, was chosen for unknown reasons. Formless and unoccupied (void), earth was a veritable soup of hazardous elements yet with water. From above the circle of the earth, Wisdom came down riding in the heights of the heavens. Seeing the earth without form and void, Wisdom’s glorious light merged with elementary particles existing in the earth. Since wisdom’s glory is life-giving, it merged in the atmosphere creating bacteria. This bacteria produced carbon dioxide, effectively shielding the earth from harmful radioactivity. Afterwards, oxygen was created. Bacteria then merged with water. Millions of microscopic creatures were produced from the resultant mixture of bacteria and water. After 3,800 million years, these microscopic creatures form the islands and developed into multicelled creatures.

Meanwhile, Wisdom created the winds. The winds caused the waters to converged into some places, the resultant action leading to the creation of mountains. With the emergence of dry land, these multicelled creatures then inhabited the land, creating terrestrial creatures. Millions of years more, and we see the development of creatures.

From the ground, which teems with life, Wisdom scooped up a lump of earth and formed man. What this means is that it could mean that Wisdom saw a creature existing in the earth (since all creatures came from the ground, scientifically). Like a potter, Wisdom shaped the wondrous body of man, and breathe life into its nostrils from his sleeves.

 




[1] Is it possible for this universe to have no beginning? Yes. Stephen Hawking, who has perhaps come closer than anyone to answering it, the question doesn’t in fact even exist. Hawking, based at the University of Cambridge, UK, and his colleague Thomas Hertog of the European Laboratory for Particle Physics at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, are about to publish a paper claiming that the Universe had no unique beginning. Instead, they argue, it began in just about every way imaginable (and maybe some that aren’t).

[2] Remember that the realm which God dwells is akin to water. The Ancients described this realm with the characteristics of water, meaning with waves acting freely. If there is a violation in the waves, ripples are created right?

[3] When God decided to design the material universe, He also created Time. Time has a beginning and a definitive end, or death.

[4] Notice that the heaven is composed of light, all light. Light behaves as a wave and a particle. However, in the beginning, light behaves as a wave. We theorize that the atom that Wisdom drops was sin, formed like matter.

[5] This is according to a new theory by Hawking and Herzog to solve the anomaly presented by String Theory.

The Biblical Cosmological Model–1st Installment

Where is the dwelling place of God?

By Richard Rivera

Whenever we ask ourselves where is God, readily we answer, He is in the heavens. But where in the heavens? And are we sure that, indeed, he lives in the heavens?

A study of the bible gives us the answer; no, God does not live in the heavens nor in the heavens of the heavens! He lives in a realm which is quite different from the heavens of the heavens and can be described as a universe by itself which has no boundaries of space and time!

The dimensions of the heavens

The biblical cosmological model describes the heavens with three dimensions (2 Cor 12:2). It is clear that these dimensions follow a hierarchical order:

  • “The ends of the heavens” (God lives in the ends of the heaven, in the uppermost heavens. This heaven of heaven was created by God (Deut 10:14).
  • “The heaven of the heavens”—the realm where angels and cherubims live
  • “the heaven” (the physical or known universe)

 
“ Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee. (Neh. 9:6)”

What’s surprising in this study is, all dimensions being described in the bible, are universes by themselves, or self-contained realms but are mirror-images of the same universe originally created by God from the beginning. Only the ends of the heavens have a different description, signifying its special character.

Notice that the heaven and the heavens of heavens have boundaries because the writer in Nehemiah 9:6 says that “the heavens of heavens” cannot contain the Spirit of God.

“The ends of the heavens”

If we are to describe where God lives, He lives at the ends of the heavens. It is clear that this ends of the heavens does not have boundaries, because, in 2 Chronicles 2:6, the passage says that “the heaven and the heavens of the heavens” cannot contain God. In Psalm 57:5, 11) and Psalm  113:4, we find that, indeed God lives “above the heavens”. So, God, in truth, does not live in the “heavens of the heavens”, but somewhere above it. It implies that God has His own realm, high above the heavens, in the ends of it (Deut 10:14). Do we have a hint as to the composition of this ends of heaven?

Yes. In Psalm 148:4, we find a description of the ends of heavens. The biblical writer says that above the heavens of heavens, is water. But, does the bible have the same concept as ours of water? What kind of substance do the ends of the heavens really contain— ordinary water— as what we see here on earth?

No. God is Spirit. Being a spirit, He cannot dwell in water which is matter, a thing which He himself created.  If this is the case, it implies that God lives within a created thing, hence, by implication, possibly, the origin of His own creation.

It is possible though that this concept of “water” is actually, a description of a place teeming with life. Both Revelations 22:1 and 21:6, describes water as a source of life, everlasting life. So, this realm that God lives, teems with abundant life. This realm though, remember, is located high above the heavens of the heavens.

“The True Israel: Heavens of the heavens”

Below this realm lies the “heavens of the heavens”. Do we have evidence that God lives here in the “heaven of the heavens”

We contend that God does not live in the heaven of the heavens, but only His mirror image occupy this realm.

 In the bible, the heavens of the heavens is described as a kingdom. In this kingdom, we find a place in the northernmost part, the House of God, which sits atop the Holy Mount of Zion. This is the highest part of this kingdom.

 Inside this House, we find the throne of God, which is at the center of it. Beside it lies the ark. God or His mirror image, is being attended by four spirits.

The whole House is a tabernacle. From this house, we find the Fountain of Life which gives crystal-clear water of life. This water flows down from the mountain towards a river where the city of God can be found.

And where does this “water” comes from? We find that this water emanates from the very realm where God truly lives— in the ends of heaven!

more on this in the next installment…next article, “The Holy City of God”

The thing that tipped the balance

Scientists say, there is asymmetry in the universe. That, in the beginning of time, matter and antimatter (the mirror image of matter)have been locked in a cosmic battle, trying to undo each other. In their first battle, matter won over antimatter. It just took a sizeable amount of matter to create the imbalance.  In our known universe, matter predominates. Antimatter occurs in super high-speed situations. However, matter annihilates antimatter upon contact.

Technological advances have enabled some truths to be unravelled. However, despite best efforts by scientists, they have’nt explained what caused the Charge Partity (CP) violation that caused the matter-antimatter coalition. What they admit though that the CP violation is not enough to cause such a monumental event. There must be something, an extraneous thing that tipped the balance.

Quantum physics is one of my favorite subjects. One of its branches, Quantum cosmology, looks at the origins of the universe. More than the mundane or controversial concerns, scientists are interested in Quantum cosmology for just one reason—to discover new sources of energy. The Universe is a bundle of energy, enormous energy. By discovering its composition and the forces at work in it, we can tap into it and possibly use it to power our world. In 2002, a solar flare produced a kilo of antimatter which could power the energy requirements of the US for 2 days.
So, all these quests about the “origins of the Universe” its just a ploy to hide the real reason behind this rush to unlock the mysteries of the elementary particles. But, what really tipped the balance between matter and antimatter? Prof. Ting of MIT, has created the AMS which could provide some clues as to what really caused the imbalance. If that happens, then, expect the dawning of the galactic age in this world.

The question that matters to me is—are we ready for this new kind of power? Is Man ready to be God?

An Interesting Twist

I did’nt go to Pangasinan. Yup. I just stayed in my condominium for two days and never left. Why? I don’t know. Maybe I’m just procrastinating or probably I’m too lazy to get up from my bed. The mere thought that I’ll be traversing 5 hours of road makes me just…too…lazy.

What’s the real reason? Well, Anna has just had a change of mind. She now says that she’s amenable to get married (again!). She now says that if the Church will tell her to marry, she will abide.

This is not interesting news for me. Its not lovely neither. I don’t want to marry someone who constantly changes her mind. I also don’t need someone whom I cannot trust. What if she suddenly stabs me in the middle of the night? Or, chokes me with a pillow? I cannot trust somebody who does these things.

These are confusing times. I want to marry, yes. But, I cannot, for the love of God, be with someone as crazy, fickled minded and confusing as this girl.

Where was God Before He Created Everything?

 

Three years ago, I wrote a book on religion. Then, I want to know where God was before He created the universe.  I also wanted to know how the proto-universe looked like and what are the philosophical constructs which the early biblical writers wrote or explained about God.

I was successful. I wrote the Book, ” The Holy Way Towards the City of God”. In the next couple of weeks, I’ll share my findings with you. If you believe it, then, support my idea of distributing it for free to other people.

The God Particle

Physicists are racing against time, trying to unlock the Higgs boson or what some call “the God particle”. This particle is believe to bestow mass on other particles. What is so important about unlocking or proving the existence of the Higss boson, it would definitely prove the existence of what physicists call “super symmetry”—the relationship of matter with all the forces of the universe.  If it exists, then, all the existing laws of physics about matters and elementary particles are correct. If it does not exists, then, it indicates that there are other forces and particles at work in the universe not yet imagined or “discovered” by mathematics and physics, paving the way for a totally new set of laws.

“The Higgs boson is interesting because it is the only reasonable explanation we have for the origin of mass,” says Dave Rainwater, a researcher at FermiLab. “Without the Higgs, all fundamental particles would be massless, and the universe would be very different. The weak nuclear forces wouldn’t be weak at all, for instance, so the elemental composition of the cosmos would be radically different, stars would shine differently, and we probably wouldn’t exist.”

“Probably would’nt exist” is a heavy word. I don’t know where he got this idea. Being in existence or not is the realm of philosophy, not of physics. Maybe Rainwater is constructing what he calls philosophical physics (there’s actually a theoretical physics which uses mathematical explanations)

I pose a philsophical question—what if the boson does not exist? Does it prove that there is a God? If there is a God, then, these laws which scientists have discovered already proves him. But, what if the boson does’nt exist? Does it mean that God does not exists or there are other laws and forces at work in the universe which men has’nt been able to unlock?

Marx was right—irrationality proves the existence of God. Since man has not been able to explain some laws, they attribute it to God. But the Higgs boson is not a “god” particle. Yes, it bestows mass to other particles. But, does it prove its godhead? No.

Anyway, its interesting to read other stuff about the Higgs boson. I’ll be writing other stuff about the Boson later on.

If I die

Dear Friends, especially Geo,

If something bad happens to me in the future, the murderers are Mr. Soriano Fernandez and his brother, Mario. Mario is allegedly a soldier assigned in Pangasinan. While Mr. Soriano Fernandez lives in Matalava Lingayen Pangasinan. These two people have threatened me with bodily harm before. And this is not gossip. This is the truth. They have said it before and they are determined to kill me once they have a chance.

They hate me because of what I did with Anna Liza Rovillos Fernandez. Yes, this girl is supposed to get married with me. However, circumstances prevented me from doing so. I went to Singapore and just came back some months ago. Indications point that they have something against me. They are plotting my assassination. That’s why I am writing this to protect myself from these people.

Anna Liza also threatened me with death. She’s still texting me a lot of things. She’s still angry with me. And I believe my assassin is just around the corner, waiting for me to let my guard down. Well, I am not afraid of them. Yet, I am doing all precautions to protect myself from these evil people.

They want me to go to Matalava, Lingayen Pangasinan. Well, today, I decided to just call them and talk over the phone.
