Glossary & Keyterms

Glossary Page 119 Glossary........Meaning of key words use Definitions of key terms  Acceptance—embracing people for who they are, not necessarily for what they say or do. (Not the postmodern definition: Endorsing and even praising others for their beliefs and lifestyle choices.)1  Addiction—a strong and harmful need to regularly have something (such as a drug) or engage in a specific behavior (such as gambling),due to an overwhelming biochemical drive, which cannot be controlled by behavioral restraint. Agape—Greek for self-sacrificing love. The love a husband is to have for his wife, willing to die for her and to give up what is important to him for her. Notice love is not a “mere feeling” but actions. The kind of love Creator God has for man in giving up the life of His only- begotten Son (Himself) so that man can live forever by accepting this incredible gift. Christ’s love for His Bride, the Ecclesia (church). Once you understand the agape Creator God has for you, you will agape Him and become a child of the “most high God.”  AGE—Advanced glycation end product, result of the Maillard reaction either in the food or body. (ie. HbA1c)  AI, Artificial Intelligence, Neural Net, Robotics.-- AI redefines intelligence as a primitive operation AI is trained to find what people like and hate and market it so make $$. It is programmed neural Network with what people like as long as it has a vote button so add to what you like or like to see. (ie.A sensory masturba.... device. )Think like training and “AGENT”, like Seri or Google Assistant being trained for something for you (for $$$). The device becomes yours and you pay for it. Wish fulfillment machine or co-piloting or augmenting something away from you.. AI can be used for good and (if carefully controlled by the teacher) for education. It must include moral values that the student understands and that represent our society. What’s to stop AI from deciding Humans are not needed and to inefficient. Simple rules such as Isaac Asimov’s 3 laws of Robotics: (with no playing with the definition of the words or their meanings. AI is a robot, so it must be aware of what it can do, ie. Cause..). For example there are many of Talmudic Jews who would define most humans as Goyim 1.A robot may not injure a human being or through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.  Amygdala—Part of the stress-fear-memory pathway. The walnut-size area of brain that generates feelings of fear and stress, which tells the hypothalamus to tell the adrenal glands to make extra cortisol. [Lustig p384]  Angels—angelic creatures individually created by God for His service.  Arian controversy—first occurred when the theological teaching of Arius of Alexandria, Egypt, claimed that Jesus was not God but a created being. Resolved at the Council of Nicaea in AD 325, which affirmed that Jesus is God of the Father-Son-Holy Spirit Trinity. All Glossary Page 120 religions that deny this (i.e., Unitarian, Islam, etc.), therefore, are worshipping an idol that is not the one true Creator God but a god man has invented.  Babylonianism—involves a seeking of earthly power or status gained by religious authority. That is Babylonianism. That is what first arose in the city by the Euphrates—a search for earthly power and glory by religious means. The Tower of Babel was built unto heaven, and the people said, “We will make a name for ourselves.” That is Babylonianism (Ray Steadman).  Caesarea Phillippi (Ancient Panin).---Sitting just below and part of the Mountain rock formation of 7,000 ft Mt Hermon ( the tallest mountain in Syria and Israel) upper mountain part of the Rock that housed the entrance to Hell that Alexander the Great camped at for 2 weeks and couldn’t find enough rope to sound it’s bottom. Also the location of the hell hole that 2,000 Jewish solders bodies were thrown down who had been captured by Titus after the capture of Jerusalem and the destruction of the 2nd temple by the Romans about 40 years later. The very rock that Jesus took his disciples to and declared that “....This is the rock on which I will put together my church (Ecclesia), a church so expansive with energy that not even the gates of hell will be able to keep it out.”. [Matthew 16:18]MSG Our LORD and Master charged the gates of hell to teach his disciples the future plan God would put into place. That rock was connected to the Mountain that the Watchers (who forsook their first estate) landed on when they fell from Heaven [Book of Enoch 6:6-8] and though somewhat controversial, the very “Mount of Transfiguration” where Jesus was transfigured in front of 3 of his disciples. Therefore a very important demonic place taken over and completely(conquered) by Jesus Christ.  Christianity—begins with a relationship with Creator-God and with those He has created through their acceptance of His gift of Himself, His Son, Jesus Christ, who sacrificed for their sin (missed the mark) against Him. His Word is the Bible that is God-breathed through the forty writers of these sixty-six books that are an integrated message system from outside of time published in more than 5 billion copies throughout the world. We are without excuse when we walk away from His gift of Himself for our redemption. Christians recognize that Jesus Christ is Creator God, a Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit... The One and Only God. He would that all would be saved.  Cortisol—The stress hormone released from the adrenal glands, which acutely mobilizes sugar for use, but which chronically lays down visceral fat.[Lustig p387]  Cosmos—organized system, a cosmos is an orderly or harmonious system. It originates from the Greek term κόσμος (kosmos), meaning “order.”  Creator God—the One who created time, space, the heavens, the earth, and all things. Who loves us so much that He has written the Bible as “God-breathed” through forty authors to describe Himself to us. He validates His word by telling us what will happen before it happens, showing us He exists outside of time. He has published His Word throughout a dark world 5 billion times at least. He tells us we are in three parts, a body, spirit, and soul, and His Word is food for our spirit. We are here for knowledge and understanding, His good pleasure, realizing we must turn from our self-centered wicked ways and worship Him in spirit and in truth....to be redeemed from death by the complete work of His only Son Jesus (the one called the Hebrew Messiah). He demands we turn from our wicked ways, accept the incredible gift He has given us for complete payment for our sins by Messiah, and worship and serve no other gods. He said He has searched heaven and found no other God. (If we could completely understand Him with our water-based brains, He would not be Creator Glossary Page 121 God.) If we don’t know why we weigh anything or what an electron and a photon are, we are most likely at the early beginning of understanding what he has created.  Culture—a meaning system that tells us what to do. Science does not give value systems or tell us what to do, so beliefs are central...explicit value system. Once we wake up and put our feet on the floor, the grand descriptive science has nothing to say to tell us what to do, while our cultural beliefs do.  Cytokine—a protein made by one cell that travels elsewhere and leads to inflammation.  Deconstructionism—a philosophy that has infected most of our institutions. It teaches that words have no objective content and, therefore, words have no truth. Therefore, if truth cannot be assigned to words, then we can make words mean anything we want them to. We no longer have to be concerned with objective truth, with true truth. Each of us can invent our own truth, our own reality; I can lie and call it truth if it gets me what I want. We can deconstruct the Word or Logos of Creator God (the Bible) and empty it of all truth...so the words of Jesus would make no sense to deconstructionists; they say the wisdom of this world cancels out the Logos of God, portraying the Word of God as empty and meaningless. “You have your truth,” says the wisdom of this world, “And I have my truth...so don’t you dare impose your truth on me!”2  Deduction (general to specific reasoning)—starts with a general conclusion and forces specific examples to fit it. If the premise is true, the conclusion must be true. A deductive argument is one whose premises are claimed to provide conclusive grounds for the truth of its conclusion. Used to allow discrimination between valid and invalid deductions. (See “Induction.”)  Devolution—negative evolution seems to be occurring in which many species are losing in their fitness. There is no evidence that mankind is not losing some of its smarts either. Notice how few Newtons and Einsteins are appearing. It now seems it takes a group, not an individual, to see new things that others have not seen. If, as some speculate, we have 200 errors/generation in the human genome, one can wonder how long the devolution will continue. It is obvious to a Christian that our Creator God would not allow things to continue that long...the point where we could no longer comprehend Him with our water-based brain.  Demon—behind every false god is a demon, one of the third of the angels of heaven who fell with the Father of Lies, Lucifer. Part of the principalities and powers mankind is at war with that the Jewish Messiah will remove at His coming.  Demonic Catechism--- 1.To thy own self be true! (Polonius in Shakespeare is a blowhard and a fool, and everyone gets killed) How to divide a culture into a bunch of narcissists! 2.You must do whatever makes you happy!(The hedonists didn’t survive either) 3.You can’t tell anybody else what is right for them! Nobody can. (a child is always right....?) (cognitive neuroscientists show us we are especially bad judges of our own character and desire)  Dewey, John—rejected both Creator God and the Bible in favor of Darwinian evolution and pragmatic humanism. He may have written a significant part of the humanist manifesto. Many (and the NEA) see him as the father of public education in the USA. He did all he could to Glossary Page 122 remove the idea of the “good and moral” behavior prescribed by Creator God for an experimental method that treats norms as hypothesis to be tested in light of their widest consequences for everyone. (See http:plato.stanford.edu/entries/dewey-moral/.) Refusing to recognize that man and Dewey himself had a black heart with dark intent against the Word of Creator God, he opened up American society to such totally bogus works as the “Kinsey Report of the Sexual Practices” (disseminated by Playboy Magazine) of what he claimed was the American population when Kinsey had in fact studied a most bizarre and non- representative population. One is reminded of Dave Kerouac’s On The Road: The Beat Generation of the late fifties, where we were encouraged to experiment to find the path. However, experimental education never finds peace any more than discontent. Dewey can be quoted on both sides of key educational arguments. For him, nothing was constant, given, or finally true (an enemy of true science). Instead, “all things were pragmatic, adaptable, and subject to whatever reinterpretation seemed appropriate for the day and the hour” (Breese, Dave. Seven Men Who Ruled the World from the Grave. Moody publishers, Chicago, 1990, p. 157). Dewey said schools were for the production of “social change.” They have obviously adopted his teaching! He implied he would move the world away from the supernatural or Creator God. Dewey, the preacher of this strange religion, has indeed done that.  Dopamine—a neurotransmitter that when released acutely can cause feelings of reward, but when released chronically reduces the number of its receptors, leading to tolerance.  Electron—a negatively charged elementary particle with a finite size and an internal structure that gives rise to its quantum properties. It is a physical spinning toroidal ring model, not an imaginary point particle, as in the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. The toroid is there only to see the charged fiber spiraling. The Charles and Joseph toroidal Ring Model of the electron is able to explain the extreme ultraviolet spectrum of hydrogen from 80 to 650 Angstroms accurately within experimental error. Which is not possible in the point particle wave mechanics of the Dirac quantum theory.  Epigenetics—modifications in DNA without changes in the DNA gnetic sequence, usually occurring prior to birth. [Lustig 388]  Eugenics ---is the scientifically erroneous and immoral theory of ”racial improvement” and “planned breeding”, which gained popularity during the 20th century. Eugenicists worldwide believed that they could “perfect” human beings and eliminate so-called social ills through genetics and heredity......and gain control for their “Elite Cabal”, which claimed superior knowledge and power to carry our their evil directives. They lie, that is their main resource.  Evolution—unstable theory or, better, an unsubstantiated conjecture about the past treated incorrectly as a theory of everything best characterized as containing two hidden terms: 1) genetic adaptation, which best fits the data as slow changes over time within species, and 2) speciation, the creation of all species from one species after the spontaneous generation of life from dead matter, requiring the contradiction that random equals information, which cannot be understood by anybody and is, therefore, the basis of many belief systems or religions invented by humans since the time of Nimrod in Babylon.  Evolutionary conservation—about 200 genetic errors occur spontaneously in each generation, randomly changing the amino acid sequences of proteins. Individuals with mutations that impair critical functions of proteins may have resulting problems that make them less able to reproduce. Harmful mutations are lost from the gene pool because the individuals carrying them reproduce less effectively. Over time, only harmless (or very rare beneficial) mutations are maintained in the gene pool. This is evolution (actually devolution). Glossary Page 123 However, the frequency of beneficial mutations has always been observed to be 0 or negative, creating a very big problem for nineteenth-century humanistic theory. Truth is slain in the streets! Glossary Page 124  Epistemology of truth—the concern regards truth and lies or something masquerading as truth that is not. We must begin with the identification of truth to have any truth at all. Truth had a beginning, as did lies. Beginning of truth Beginning of lies Verifiable, Time Unverifiable and error, doesn’t works work and can’t create can create in reality in reality Fig. 9 Today  False gods—idols that steal the honor and glory due Creator God, causing us to face the destruction of both our souls and bodies. Will find their fate in the bottomless pit and the lake of fire.  Fallen angels—about one-third of Creator God’s individually created angels chose to follow Lucifer-Satan. They are angels of the darkness, demonic forces in ranks called principalities and powers directed by their leader Satan and behind all false gods and idols. Will find the fate in the bottomless pit and the lake of fire.  Final reality—either 1. an infinite Creator God or 2. material and energy that has always existed, shaped into their present form only by pure chance. Where there is no meaning for life, no value system, and no basis for law, and therefore, man must be the measure of all things leading to humanist idolatry.  First cause—what initiated the beginning. First motion of creation.  Freedom—being free to do what you know you ought to do. (Not the postmodern definition: Being able to do anything you want to do.)1  Fructose—a monosaccharide, half of dietary sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, the molecule that makes sugar taste sweet, causes the reward system to activate, and is the addictive component. [Lustig 388]  Gene regulatory sequence—a part of a DNA molecule that binds a gene regulatory protein.  Genetic adaptation—long-term within species genetic changes in response to the environment. Complete agreement with the data exists. The accepted half of the theory of evolution. See speciation.  Genotype—the fundamental genetic constitution of an organism comprising genes from both parents.  Global warming—an unscientific theory prediction from a “scenario analysis” that, when it failed to materialize, was changed to “climate change,” charging the people of the planet many, many trillions of dollars in carbon taxes needlessly.  Glucose—a monosaccharide, half of dietary sugar or high-fructose corn syrup; also the molecule found in starch, the molecule that every cell on the planet burns to liberate energy. [Lustig 388] Glossary Page 125  HFCS—high-fructose corn syrup, isolated from corn, which has undergone enzymatic reaction with glucose oxidase, converting some of the glucose into fructose, so the product contains varying amounts of fructose and glucose. [Lustig 389]  Highly conserved—term used to characterize proteins with little differences within the animal kingdom, presumably because of their fundamental importance for the life of cells.  Hippocampus—part of the stress-fear-memory pathway. The part of the brain where memories are housed, and which exerts influences on the amygdala and prefrontal cortex. [Lustig 389]  Homeostasis—the maintenance of uniformity or stability in the organism by coordinated physiological processes (usually negative feedback control systems). It appears 800 or more constants and parameters are operating here.  Humanism—the man is the measure of all things. If the final reality is “material and energy” always existing, shaped into its present form only by pure chance. Contrast with a final reality in which there is an infinite Creator God (as in Christianity). (Francis A. Schaeffer.)  Humanist idolatry—where the final Reality is material and energy which has always existed, shaped into its present form only by pure chance. Where there is no meaning for life, no value system, and no basis for law, and therefore, man must be the measure of all things.  Hypothalamus—the area at the base of the brain that controls hormones of the body, particularly cortisol. [Lustig 389]  Idolatry—anything that removes or detracts from the glory of the one true God—the Creator of everything. More specifically, Paying obeisance to or worshipping in any way or attributing to something else that is due God.  Induction—specific to general reasoning. You look at specific examples; then you form conclusions. Premises supply some evidence for truth of a conclusion. The conclusion follows with probability, not certainty. ie., generalize from a sample to a whole population. John Stuart Mill gives us five methods of induction (Copi, “Intro. To Logic” p. 434). See Deduction. Bayesian analysis (likelihood ratios) begins with a belief about something first. All induction leads only to a probability, not certainty, in contrast to deduction.  Information—something that people can learn, know about, and understand. It does not occupy space or weigh anything and is thus outside of time, yet may be time-stamped or time- limited somehow. The key to the value of information is its veracity or truth. Note that an empty DVD and a DVD with gigabytes of information weigh the same, yet the information has changed the disk. Creator God tells us that heaven and earth will pass away, but His (Jesus’) Word will exist forever (Matthew 24:35). Indicating the staying power of the Truth.  Insulin—a hormone made in the pancreas that tells fat cells to store energy, and interferes with the leptin signal to increase food intake. [Lustig p389]  Insulin Secretion—the process of insulin release in response to both rising blood glucose and the firing of the vagus nerve.  Junk DNA—an evolutionary term referring to a region of DNA for which no known function has been found. However, embryologically active segments are starting to be discovered, raising doubts on the empty evolutionary term.  Kinsey, Alfred---The single-handed leader of America’s sexual revolution entirely based on false data and conclusions. Bug expert in 1920, became a self-made sexologist following his hard evolutionary thinking to a complete even amoral teaching and Glossary Page 126 practice with babies and children. Is the best example of bias sampling. His work has not generally been able to be reproduced yet the mores he projected still stand. He was funded by Rockefeller, NSF, and Playboy inc. see: https://www.nasonline.org/about- nas/history/archives/collections/crps-1920-1965.html  Leptin—a hormone released form fat cells that travels in the bloodstream to the hypothalamus to report on peripheral energy stores.[Lustig 389]  Leptin resistance—the state where the leptin signal is dampened, leading to the hypothalamus interpreting staravation. [Lustig 389]  Lie—a known falsehood, usually given to deceive.  Love—the word love, as taught usually, has a deceptive meaning similar to that described by the Oxford Universal Dictionary (1933); in the US, a frequent vulgarism for “like.” That we should use the same word for ice cream that we use for our wife or child or Creator God demonstrates a major weakness in the English language. Look at the definition above of “agape” and see what we mean. Jesus taught us that the entire law is based on two “loves.” The love of Creator God and the love of our neighbor. However, the word is best represented by the Greek word agape. That love is not “feelings” but actions.  Mallard reaction—the non-enzymatic binding of a simple sugar (glucose or fructose) to a protein, making the protein less flexible and generating oxygen radicals in the process.  Materialism—the doctrine that material reality is the only reality. As defined by California’s Willie Brown, “If I can’t eat it, wear it, drive it, or make love to it, I’m not interested in it.” In essence, noting that if I can’t actually see it, touch it, or make use of it in some way, then it doesn’t exist. It’s all just neurons firing in your cortex and spinal column, and there is no “mystery” to life, “it’s all basic and scientific.” A manner of expression indicating a total lack of spiritual understanding or concern. The doctrine of materialism cannot be proven. Unfortunately, it is not a scientific conclusion but a scientific presupposition not discovered in nature but imposed upon nature and, therefore, an article of faith! Apparently, because there is no math yet invented to represent something non-material, scientists are afraid to address it. Yet most humans believe non-material exists.  Metabolic syndrome—a cluster of chronic metabolic diseases characterized by energy overload of the mitochondria. [Lustig 390]  Mitochondria—subcellular organelles specialized to burn either fat or carbohydrate for energy.  Moral judgments—certain things are morally right and wrong as determined by Creator God. (Not the postmodern definition: We have no right to judge another person’s view or behavior.)1  mTOR—mammilian target of rapamycin, an enzyme that controls cell survival vs. cell death.[Lustig 390]  Nature—the physical component of Creator God’s creation comprising the entire universe and its physical makeup and the laws that govern its physical operation along with its imbedded control systems. It is below or inferior to His spiritual creation, which is not immediately discernible by our water-based brains.  Natural selection—implying a “selector” as a deception designed to replace the creationists’ “divine watchmaker” with what is supposed to be an impersonal force like a ghost that is an external agency of some type that disintegrates under scrutiny...unless Darwin gave “selection” omnipotent power embarrassing evolutionists in the process. Glossary Page 127  Naturalism—the doctrine that nature is all there is. The doctrine of naturalism cannot be proven. Unfortunately, it is not a scientific conclusion but a scientific presupposition not discovered in nature but imposed upon nature and, therefore, an article of faith! Apparently, because there is no math yet invented to represent something non-material, scientists are afraid to address it. Yet most humans believe non-material exists.  Neurotransmitter—a chemical in the brain made in one nerve cell, which when released causes other nerve cells to fire or stop firing. [Lustig p390]  Nimrod—Noah’s grandson, Ham’s son. First man given the title king or Moleck and deified as Marduk, which degenerated into many pagan god names, i.e., Enki, Apsu, Astalluhii, Acsculapius, Chinon/Centar, Tital/Atlas, Bel/Baal, Nabul/Nebo, Apollo/Nabul, Hermes, Mars, Orion, Ninus, was claimed to be reincarnated in Astarte’s (Semiramis) womb to Tammuz.  Noah—a man who, along with his wife and three sons and their wives, are the progenitors of all living today. Chosen by Creator God to perpetuate mankind and witness to those that follow His marvelous work. The world no doubt had many millions, perhaps billions of people, and a culture that had willfully walked away from their Creator, filling the earth with “violence.” Creator God hit the reset button, and the enormous reserves of water hidden in the earth as well as forty days of deluge flooded the entire earth such that we find sea shells on Mount Everest. The mass of water greatly interacted with plate tectonics and magnetic phenomena to change the world to the form we see today. Google John Baumgardner, PhD, noted in the US News and World Report as “the world’s preeminent expert in the design of computer models for geophysical convection.” (Burr, Chandler; 8 June, 1997, “The geophysics of God: a scientist embraces plate tectonics and Noah’s flood.” pp. 55–58.)  Nucleus accumbens (NAc)—the area of the brain that receives the dopamine signal and interprets the feeling as reward. [Lustig 390]  Obesity-=- excess body fat deposition.  Obesogen—a chemical that increases the amount of fat stored, to a greater extent than the calories released when it is burned.[Lustig 390]  Pantheism—the belief that God is everything or all things are God! Identified as a heresy and contrary to the Bible.  Personal Preference—preferences of color, food, clothing style, hobbies, etc., are personally determined. (Not the postmodern definition: Preferences of sexual behaviors, value systems, and beliefs are personally determined.)1  Personal rights—everyone has the right to be treated justly under the law. (Not the postmodern definition: Everyone has the right to do what he or she believes is best for himself.)1  Plasma—is an ionized gas consisting of positively and negatively charged particles with approximately equal charge densities. The deviation from charge neutrality must be very small, but deviations from local charge neutrality can occur. Most of the material of the visible universe (99 percent by some estimates) is plasma. A complete mathematical model of plasma is difficult, consisting of three basic elements: “....first, the motion of all particles must be determined for some assumed electric and magnetic field configuration; second, the current and charge densities must be computed from the particle trajectories; and third, the electric and magnetic fields must be self-consistently determined from the currents and charges, taking into account both internal and external sources.” The electric and magnetic fields used in last step must be the same as those used in the first step.129 Glossary Page 128  Progress—(A) Improved quality of life through scientific discovery and application. Does not involve and may indeed interfere with soul and spirit progress and peace. Wealth can possibly cause a person mistakenly to rely upon his resources rather than commune with his maker, leading to his complete destruction in the end. (B) In terms of evolutionary progress, falsely labeled scientific progress, a humanistic religious belief that organisms trend toward improvement or “better” above their given genetic capacity to adapt to an environment through “evolution.” That mankind is getting “better and better” is not supported on moral terms at all. War, strife, and conflict are not changing since the beginning of time. If a man or woman finds himself with Creator God at the end of time, then he/she has indeed progressed toward eternal life, something that can be known assuredly in this life if He becomes “born again” by the action of the Holy Spirit of Creator God (John 3:5).  Question of science—a question that is or can be falsifiable by objective evidence, observable, with non-contradiction in its logic of inquiry. True science describes reality and is not a part of the description of the creation by Creator God. These questions are limited to physical reality, with no tools to describe non-physical reality or unobservable events. If events are unobservable, then only “best guess” or abduction, the lowest level of logic, can be applied, and testing will be nonexistent, leading to error or a high probability of misleading statements and descriptions.  Question of theology—inquiring about Creator God (Theos) or the study of His writings. Christianity describes the Word or the Logos as the Christ. For the Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:1). The Creator of the universe can get the ink on the page correct. ie., the original writing of the Bible is without error and is timeless, for “He comes in the volume of a book” and is not to be taken lightly.  Random—without informational content. Helpful in working with probability as a reference for no relationship, pattern, predictability, or purpose. In random selection, equal probability of being selected is considered random assignment. Used in sampling to represent a population. Never used by Kinsey in his sex research. Not a creative mechanism because it has no informational content.(as used in Darwinian Evolution/beginnings.)  Reality—things as they actually exist. Especially as described by one in a position to describe things as they are, namely Creator God.  Respect—giving due consideration to others’ beliefs and lifestyle choices without necessarily approving them. (Not the postmodern definition: Wholeheartedly approving of others’ beliefs or lifestyle choices.) 1  Relative truth—denies that the human mind has the capacity to arrive at real truth or absolute truth. Since Jesus Christ said He “was the Truth,” relative truth denies Him and thereby prevents accepting Him and His gift of eternal life. A fatal flaw in life...a very fatal flaw in thinking leading to moral relativism and the acceptance of things that are an abomination to Creator God, who defines what is right and good and moral for all mankind. Relative truth is given many descriptors by anthropologists and sociologists in a blind attempt to remain neutral when describing a culture, leading to the false conclusion that what is true depends on the culture or the person, a fatal flaw in logic. An individual believing he can make up his own good and morality believes himself a god.  Religion—a set of beliefs, actions, and emotions, both personal and corporate, organized around the concept of an ultimate reality. This reality may be understood as a unity or a plurality, personal or non-personal, divine or not, and so forth, differing from religion to religion (Peterson, Michael, William Hasker, Bruce Reichenbach, and David Basinger. Glossary Page 129 Reason and Religious Belief: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion, NY: Oxford University Press, 1991, p. 4; italics removed).  Satan -Lucifer—Lucifer, the name given to the angel second only to Creator God, and initially head angel “light-bearer,” son of the morning in Isaiah 14:12, who said he would be “like the Most High.” Endowed with the privilege and responsibility of self-determination— Creator God’s gift of “free will” changed through pride in himself by centering his wisdom and understanding on himself and not Creator God... is called Satan and the devil (and forty other titles) becoming Creator God’s adversary who will face final judgment and be destroyed in the end along with about one-third of the angels created initially. .What seems to have happened to his beautiful body is mentioned in Ezekiel 28:6-19NKJV” It appears there is a demon, a servant of Satan’s, behind each idol. In contrast, “holy” angles are “ministering spirits to the Heirs of Salvation” (Hebrews 1:14) of Creator God that interact so wonderfully with man and the children. Much of this operation in the spiritual realm is veiled to us, but the fact is that Satan endeavors to defeat Christ’s earthly ministry, but Jesus triumphed over him, and over the darkness of this world will play out as we come to the end of time or end of the age. When we live our lives in pain and suffering, and what seems with few gifts from Creator God, yet still honor and love Him, we are like Job, executing the greatest honor of our Maker and proving Satan a liar and his resources are stacks of lies. (so be careful how you read history).  Secular—(A) of this world (not of Creator God); (B) excluding religion. If religion refers to all theology in which the god worshipped requires man to do acts and rituals to gain his/her favor and thereby win heaven as a consolation, but if it includes Christianity as a non-religion but a “relationship” with Creator God, then this form of secular has value to mankind! Originally a religious word, “secular” priests lived outside the convent.  Secret Societies----Professor Quigley captured the very essence of secret societies and their control of world history, exactly like a neighborhood criminal gang but on a massive scale. We are talking about the control of media, government agencies, and private foundations. Are they operating under proper scrutiny or honest criticism? With the power of enormous wealth behind them. The greatest corrupting influence of a free society.  Serotonin—part of the contentment pathway. A neurotransmitter made from the amino acid tryptophan, which when it binds to its 1a receptor on neurons, transmits feelings of contentment; and when it binds to its 2a receptor, evokes the mystical or psychedelic experience. [Lustig 392]  Son of Destruction. Perdition see: John 17:12  Speciation—generation of new species from an original species. No agreement on this process exists. No observations and no convincing data to support. An unsubstantiated conjecture about the past. The first half of the so-called theory of evolution. See genetic adaptation.  Stress—an uncomfortable state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or demanding circumstances. Accompanied by neural output from the amygdala, which tells the hypothalamus to signal the adrenal glands to make the hormone cortisol; [Lustig 392]  Subcutaneous fat—the fat outside of the abdomen, which is a storehouse of extra energy, but which does not signify an increased risk for metabolic syndrome. [Lustig 392] Glossary Page 130  Talmud.-- (Instruction and Learning) the central text of Rabbinic Judaism. Containing the oral law . Recorded starting with Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai, core text of the Mishnah and the writings of Maimonides (Rambam)and Namonides, followed by reference to at least 1,000 Jewish priests/scholars discourses and debates referring to the oral law consisting of 63 tractates. To be distinguished from the Torah and the Old Testament which contained the written law and the Prophets and the Writings. The (Mishnah is often cited as containing the oral Torah.

It could be that it is misclassified as a religion intentionally by those misdirecting their students or as an administrative convenience  Tolerance—accepting others without agreeing with or sharing their belief or lifestyle choices. (Not the postmodern definition: Accepting that each individual’s beliefs, values, lifestyles, and truth claims are equal.) 1  Truth—an absolute standard of right and wrong, correct and incorrect. (Not the postmodern definition: Whatever is right for you.) 1  Type 1 diabetes—a disease of high blood sugar due to inadequate insulin production by the beta cells of the pancreas.[Lustig p392]  Type 2 diabetes—a disease of high blood sugar due to defective insulin action on tissues. [ Lustig 393]  Tryptophan—the rarest dietary amino acid in the diet, which is converted into serotonin.  Tyrosine—a dietary amine acid that is converted to dopamine.  Uric acid—a breakdown product of nucleic acids, which causes gout and is a contributor to high blood pressure, and is sensitive to sugar and meat consumption. {Lustig 393]  Vagus nerve—the part of the autonomic nervous system that promotes food digestion, absorption, and energy storage, and slows heart rate.  Ventral tegmental area (VTA)—part of the reward pathway; the area of the brain that sends the dopamine reward signal of signifying reward to the nucleus accumbens.  Ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH)—the area of the hypothalamus that receives hormonal information from the body to regulate energy balance. [Lustig 393]  Violence of today and Noah’s day—Genesis 6:11, the Hebrew word for “violence” refers elsewhere to a broad range of crimes that include unjust treatment, injurious legal testimony, cruelty, cruel hatred, deadly assault, murder, and rape.  Visceral fat—the fat around the organs in the abdomen, which is a risk factor for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, and a marker for metabolic syndrome.  Worldview—consists of our most basic assumptions or presuppositions about reality.

Suggested by Richard Feynman as equal to the energy density within an atom 1098 -10114 ergs per cubic centimeter. Say our sun radiates energy at the rate of 3.8 x 1020 watts. Our galaxy has > 100 billion stars that may average the size of our sun, so the total radiant energy expended by our galaxy for 1 million years is the energy somehow locked up in 1cc of space. Continuously input into the 1 cc of space from what source? How many cc’s do you occupy? Here we are operating before the face of Creator God.
