I know there will be many people who will object to this statement, but their objections do not change the truth of my assertion:

It is a fact that science cannot prove anything.

This is why Steven Hawking made a huge mistake in judgment when, in his book, “The Grand Design,” he boasts that science has rendered philosophy obsolete.  The ignorance that Dr. Hawking exhibits in this claim is apparently exceed only by his arrogance.  One need but look to the definition of philosophy to know it is the foundation upon which the ‘scientific method‘ is built.  But, more than this, it is the rudder by which science is guided — lest ‘science’ cease to be the search for knowledge and understanding and become a religion instead.  Sadly, this is what ‘science’ has become for far too many of us.

For those of you who follow The OYL, I just wanted to post a quick note to let you know I have been adding additional posts under the headers at the top of the page.  These posts will not be posted to the main blog.  This is so I do not overwhelm people with too many posts to quickly.  It is also so I can start building each of the headers into a form of mini class or tutorial on each of the titled subjects.  I hope this will make it easier to refer back to the material I post at a later date.  The purpose is not only to share what I am learning with others, but to help others share the material with their friends and family, as well.  So, if you have time, you may want to keep an eye on the headers whenever you visit.  I won’t announce it often, but I will be adding to them as frequently as possible.  There is a lot to do.

If you have any thoughts, comments or suggestions as to additional headers, or how I could better present my material, please fell free to post a comment or send an email.

Recently, a friend of mine announced he was leaving face book because he was tired of the negative and destructive nature of the commentary that seems to dominate social media.  He lamented that people seem to have chosen sides and were more interested in trying to ‘beat’ their opponents than they were in trying to understand and build them up.  My friend is a Christian, so I know that what is really bothering him is the lack of love (agape love) in our society as a whole, but I wonder whether or not he is even aware that this division has been intentionally manufactured?

A change is coming to The OYL and I want to explain it to those of you who follow my blog.

Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.

—Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Yesterday, a Face Book friend of mine caused me to confront the message in Bonhoeffer’s words.  My friend announced he was leaving Face Book because all people do on there is complain, and complaining only serves to divide us and tear us apart rather than unite and build us up.  I understand his position, but I’m conflicted as to whether or not I can agree with his decision.  You see, there have been times when the things my friend posted on his Face Book page did help me.  Sometimes they caused me to examine the intentions behind my actions; other times, they gave me comfort and inspiration.  Now, i my friend helped me, how many more has he helped without ever knowing it?  This is what brought me face-to-face with Bonhoeffer’s warning.  I have realized that, if my friend leaves Face Book, the voices of unrest will still be causing division, but there will be one less voice to counter those voices of division and unrest.  In other words, if my friend leaves Face Book because he sees evil, then he will be silent in the face of evil.  I pray he changes his mind, but — if nothing else — my friend has caused me to make some changes in how I will act.  He has convinced me to stop adding my voice to the chorus of division, and he has changed my motivation for blogging.  Continue reading “A New Purpose; A New Attitude; A New Direction” →

For years, I have been trying to show people that we — modern America — are following a parallel path to that traveled by the Germans in the 1930’s.  And for years, people have attacked me for trying to warn them about the path we are traveling.  I do not blame them: it is very difficult to see history unfolding in our own times.  But for those of us who have studied history — and more so for those who have learned to see history through the lens of Scripture — the signs are as clear as the noses on our faces.  So, if we see the danger coming, what would you rather we do: remain silent and allow you to be comfortable in your ignorance until you perish, or warn you in spite of the backlash we know you will aim at us?  Well, I know what Scripture tells me about the watchman who sees danger coming and does not sound the warning, and I will not have another’s blood on my hands.  So I am trying to warn those who will listen so that I will be held blameless for the blood of those who will not.  It is for this reason — to warn you — that I tell you the spirit of NAZI Germany now rules our land!

If you have struggled to see the things people have been trying to warn America about in our government and corporate America.  If you have never been able to understand the connections that are supposed to illustrate these warnings.  If you are one of those who listens, but still believe that people such as myself are getting all worked up about nothing.  Then I want you to do yourself a favor.  Find a copy of ‘Atlas Shrugged’ by Ayn Rand and read it.  But don’t just read it.  Read it as though you were reading an internal document describing how ‘they’ plan to take over the country, and when you do, every time you read about the rail roads in the book, think about Internet providers instead.  If you do this, then you may finally see how our nation is being destroyed.  You will see what the government and big business are trying to do, why they want to do it and how they plan to do it.  You will see how they convince themselves that their actions are ‘good’ because they are working for ‘fairness’ and ‘justice.’  What’s more, you will see and — with luck — understand the other side of this conflict: the business owner.  You will understand what really motivates the people who build and create and who actually make the nation work.  Continue reading “PIECES OF THE PUZZLE: ‘Atlas Shrugged’ in Net Neutrality” →

Who is truly ignorant?  Those who accept the actions of others as truth?  Those who accept the words of others as truth?  When words are contradicted by actions taken, what should one believe is truth?

Answer:  When actions conflict with words, then actions are Truth. When words are confirmed with action, then those words become Truth.  It is ignorant to choose to believe words which are contradicted by actions.  It is also ignorant to disbelieve words that are confirmed with actions. Continue reading “Ignorance: words, actions, and truth” →

There is a lot of doubt as to what — if any — religious convictions Obama may have.  I, however, have no doubt.  I believe Obama is a Muslim.  I believe this because I understand Islam, and have seen Obama give public clues to others who know and understand Islam that are meant to affirm that he has not left Islam.  However, for those who still may question whether or not Obama is a Muslim, let me make my case.  Then, if nothing else, you will be more informed, and thus, better able to form your own opinion.

ISIS Posts Price List for Sex with Captured Infants, Women Listed as ‘Merchandise’

Bill Neigh is known as ‘the science guy,’ even though he is an engineer, not a scientist.  Well, let’s play that game and see how ‘fair’ the ‘other side’ wants to be when it comes to ‘science’ and Islam.  This video was brought to my attention by a reader of The OYL.  It is about 45 minutes  long, and the Dr. can be a little dry in his delivery, but he uses more ‘science’ to prove that Islamic Jihad caused the Dark Ages than Bill Neigh uses to prove ‘climate change.’  Only, in this video, historical fact, as well as archeology and economics, back-up the argument against Islam.  Bill Neigh cannot claim the same.  In fact, the data is against Bill Neigh and the climate-gate hoaxers.  We know they have had to force what data they have to fit their narrative and fake much more to support their agenda.  Dr. Warner does not have to do that.  All he does is present the facts we have forgotten or were never taught and then ask you to re-consider another understanding of history that is anything but kind to Islam. It also puts the Crusades in proper context to world history.  All-in-all, this is a ‘must see’ for anyone who honestly wants to understand Islam.  So, get yourself a drink, sit back and watch the following video.

 

[FOR THE RECORD: I am being extremely sarcastic toward the climate-change crowed, as well as those who think ‘science’ can prove anything.  Anyone who thinks science can ‘prove’ anything only ‘proves’ they do not understand ‘science.’  So, if you detect a sarcastic attitude in the way I address the scoffers in my opening paragraph, it is because I intended to sound that way 🙂 ]

How do I convey the depth of my pain to you?  The written word cannot show you the pain on my face nor let you hear the anguish in my voice.  All I can do is tell you that my heart is melting within me for fear of where this nation’s people are heading.  We like to think we are smarter than others, but many nations before us have believed the same thing.  Before God destroyed Israel and sent them into Babylonian captivity, He warned Israel, through the prophet Jeremiah, that they were not as smart as they thought they were.  Actually, in the book of Jeremiah alone, God calls Israel stupid five times, and says they are going to come to ruin because they have no understanding.  In Isaiah 5:20-21, God condemns people who turn reality and truth on their heads.  We may think this all ancient history, and some may even think it little more than myth, but one thing remains true: we have not ‘progressed’ a single step since the ancient times of Israel and her prophets.  The only thing that has changed is the people and places and the lies we tell ourselves, but we are still putting good for evil and evil for good and telling ourselves that those who do not understand this inverting of reality ares imply too stupid to understand our nuance.  It is when a people actually start to believe this sort of madness that insanity rules.  Insanity such as this: Continue reading “At What Point Does Insanity Rule?” →

“What is the Islamic State?  Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers.”

If you are different.  If you are not one of those who is content to accept the propaganda fed to you by our media.  If you would rather know and understand the truth — no matter how ugly it may be.  Then you need to read this post.  It has a direct bearing on your future, as well as the future of our entire society and the world.

Let me ask you a question.  How often have you heard the term ‘fascist’ being used to attack someone?  In our society, this is a very powerful attack.  In many ways, it is akin to being called a racist or a ‘homophobe.’  This term is not the property of any one political orientation; it is used by people on all sides of the political spectrum.  So, please, let’s set aside any political emotions that we may feel in connection to this word.  In fact, let’s grant that everyone we have ever heard using it mean well.  Let’s just assume they are trying to protect individual rights and liberty.  Now let me ask you another question.  Of the people you can remember using the term ‘fascist,’ how many of them actually understand what the term means?  How often have you thought about it?  Do you know what it is or how it manifests itself in the ‘real world?’  Well, in the event that you have never really thought about it, let me explain what fascism is and how it works by using a very clear example that just happens to be in the news today: Net Neutrality.

In recent days, I have been very harsh on Glenn Beck concerning Islam.  In my opinion, Beck has failed to properly educate himself as to what Islam is and what it teaches.  To the extent Beck has researched Islam, I have been even more critical of him for not being honest with his audience.  Well, it may be that an apology is in order as it seems Beck may have finally started down the path to Truth in regard to Islam.  Unfortunately, it took the establishment of the first official Islamic tribunal being announced in Texas to finally get Beck to start down this path.  Yesterday, 9 February 2015, Beck aired an interview with two of the judges from this Islamic tribunal on his TV program (it is essential you read this story and watch the video, as this post assumes you have done so).  For once, Beck seems to be admitting that the problem is Islam (not individual Muslims, but Islam, itself).  However, Beck still has not gone far enough in helping his audience understand the threat of Islam or Shari’a law.  I hope this post will explain why I feel it is essential that everyone in the West know and understand Shari’a law.

Many of you who follow my blog may be wondering why I am many other Christians say that Glenn Beck (and Mormons in general) are not Christian.  I can assure you, it is not because I think I can enforce my opinion upon another.  It is because Scripture tells me Mormons are not Christians.  If I were to accept Beck’s reasoning, then I would have to accept the argument that Muslims are Christians as well.  Mormons and Christians both claim to believe in Jesus as the Messiah, so, by this definition, they are ‘Christian.’  But this is no different from any of the attacks Beck has made against ‘Progressives’ for perverting the language to deceive the uniformed listener.  I do not want you to be uniformed, so, if you want to know why I know I am correct when I say Beck is not a Christian, please read the rest of this post.

When I first encountered Glenn Beck, I thought the man was a fool.  At the time, he was still mixing his brand of humor in with the ‘news’ he presented on his show.  I’m sure this had something to do with my opinion of him, but I did pay attention to what he was saying.  Many people miss this about me: I pay more attention than they realize, I am just quick to dismiss most of what I hear or read.  But I couldn’t just dismiss the information Beck was presenting, so I set out to find the ‘proof’ I needed to disprove him.  Long story short, I couldn’t find that ‘proof’ because it doesn’t exist.  Instead, I discovered Beck is not sharing the scariest parts of what he knows with his audience.  This is why I came to respect Glenn Beck: because he pushed me into actually applying my education to investigate things for myself.  In short, he got me up off my lazy butt.  Unfortunately for Beck, it also put me on a path that would eventually lead me to discover that he is hiding a secret message or ‘code’ in the things he is telling his audience.

If you follow my posts, then you know I disagree with Glenn Beck on matters of faith and the true nature of God.  You will also know that I believe this is the reason Beck does not understand Islam.  Well, today may have been the last straw for me.  Beck continues to tell his audience that those Muslims who are killing in the name of Allah have perverted Islam.  OK, Mr. Beck, I have a reply to you.  You are not going to get to heaven through your works.  You will never become a god.  In fact, everything you believe is false.  It is just your interpretation of what Joseph Smith said.  Now, if we had Mr. beck here, I know he would disagree with this, he would say I am perverting his religion.  But this is exactly what Beck is doing to those Muslims who are following Muhammad’s commands.  So, if Mr. Beck is going to be a Progressive in terms of religion — especially Islam — then I no longer have reason to trust he can see the difference in any other aspect of this world. Continue reading “I May have to Stop Listening to Beck” →

I know that there are many who think I ‘hate’ Mormons and Muslims.  Glenn Beck is one of these people.  This is not my ‘opinion,’ but Glenn’s own words.  He has spent several long segments on his various shows explaining that anyone who disagrees with him as to what is and is not true about God ‘hates’ him.  He has said pretty much the same thing about anyone who disagrees with Islam: if I do not accept those Beck calls ‘good’ Muslims (i.e. not actively engaged in jihad), then I ‘hate’ Muslims.  Neither is true.  I love both Mormons and Muslims, but it is an agape love.  This means I do not agree with someone if I believe they are wrong; I try to offer correction.  To this end, I was going to write a post about the many historic similarities between Muhammad/Islam and Joseph Smith/Mormonism.  However, I found a post that has already done this, and — in my opinion — did it better than I could have.  So, for those who want to educate themselves, I highly recommend you read: Continue reading “AGENDAS: The Similarities between Islam and Mormonism” →

On his radio show, on Feb 2, 2015, at 0949 EST (the first hour of his show), Glenn Beck said that all of God’s people need to stand together — then went on to say that all religions belong to God’s people.  THIS IS EVIL BECAUSE THIS IS A LIE!  Do not listen to him. Reject anyone and everyone who tells you that all gods of the world are the same.  This means reject Glenn Beck, too — at least on this issue.  Beck is excellent at teaching history, but he is extremely dangerous on matters of God and faith.  No matter what faith you are, DO NOT LISTEN TO GLENN BECK ON MATTERS OF GOD AND FAITH!  Now, I understand this is a harsh stance, and that many will reject me for taking it, so let me explain why I am trying to warn you away from anyone who claims all gods are the same.
