A Snippet of Torah Examined as a Science Book

Pondering Genesis ch. 1; density is the primary reason for the separation of matter. Dawkins suggested discarding Holy Books.
I don’t agree. Choose what helps, Torah and/or science. Torah suggests getting dirty as if there is no Gd to heal.

This is what I ponder; when the sun isn’t shining, naturally darkness falls. Likewise, darkness is radiated from our enclosed universe, except where light dispels.
When closing a box, the matter causes the inside to radiate darkness, in the same way darkness results when the sun passes from view. Hashem divides light and darkness, and the dense and the less dense. Matter usually darks, especially if energy does not make it such as a lightbulb; it radiates darkness when off. Outer-space is thus a place of balance between darking matter of the outer universe and lights like the sun. This balance makes it a place of less gravity; outer space is in between, at the primary area of mixing, and why satellites don’t fall back to earth.

Ubiquitous Cosmological Evidence of G-d Still Not Enough for Some Atheists

Acceptance of Gd, as He is on His terms, and not on your opinion of how G-d should be, is one of most important acts anyone can do. That is what religionists refer to as faith.

Richard Dawkins, probably the foremost atheist in this time concludes that in atheism he has found remarkable Darwinian “grandeur,”

Charles Darwin was not known as a poet, but he produced a lyrical crescendo in the last paragraph of On the Origin of Species.

"Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death,[i] the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved." - Charles Darwin

but then Dawkins deems those same acts of nature to be too horrible for him to consider a deity's involvement.

“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”

― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

That is a verifiable contradiction.

Can anyone see the error of Dawkins' logic?  Logic such that if Hashem creates it, then according to Dawkins, no matter what, it is as if it were created by a hateful, devilish, hideous being, like the picture.



Yet, if there is no Gd, and something becomes created, then according to Dawkins this is surely worthy of remarkable praise, such as in the case of this woman. this:

My Collected Thoughts to the Chabad.org Article, “Why Don't You Spell Out G-d's Name?” By Aron Moss

Dramatic Pause, Then Thought, and Least of All Execution

If I ever wrote about Gd when I didn't know Him; that is when I used God. However, because of that I have this wonderful neural pathway where first I think of The Blessed Be He, as God, but then I pause to think about how I will communicate my idea about G_d to an audience. That pause is crucial to paying respect to G:d, such that I give Him His due respect. The actual way G-d appears in my writing has very little to do with the personal respect I attribute to Him, but rather through permutations of God, anticipating them, and trying for slight randomness before writing Gd with variability gives my brain the kick it needs to continue treating God with the utmost respect. Thus, the written form is not as important as the thought behind it. However, for someone reading this the cryptic nature of my post may cause additional thoughts for the reader that are also beneficial, as it should be clear far beyond a reasonable doubt that I'm trying to show the utmost respect.

I have a second opinion about vowels. I believe Hebrew was originally spoken without vowels and thus none are written. There is ample evidence to show that the hominid ancestors of humans could speak on only using consonants. If you need a reference that confirms that hominids at one time could speak only with consonants, then I suggest the book, “The Ancestor’s Tale” by Richard Dawkins.

Goad

I no longer use God or G-d, but Goad. Goad is much more descriptive than G-d. Everyone that conceives of G-d has his or her own idea of what G-d is, and they not only vary from religion to religion, but even among followers of particular religions. Let's be frank. Goad is an Almighty and Universal motivator. Goad motivated the universe into being. Goad motivates us to be ethical and Goad rewards us and punishes us according to the Goading we receive from Goad. We could even consider ourselves to be imitating Goad if we do some of the motivating ourselves.

Judgement

That the author attempted to show respect shows good intent. He has greater righteousness than that person that paid attention to spell check. It is likely that any attempt to show respect to the divine Name that gains popularity is likely to receive recognition by a computer program. However, I would say that since we now know that G-d is in some spell checkers, I would say, “Spell check should be ignored when considering respect to the Name.” Upon analysis of writing, we will simply know the meanings of various forms of respect.

I think you misunderstood. I do not understand how what you write beyond your third sentence refutes me. 
My suggestion is that people worshiped Odin after his death when polytheistic mythologies were generated in Norway. In fact, several people in my line had the same deification lie generated, such as Beowulf, Thor, and Zeus. Likewise, I want no generation of a lie that I am a deity either, as it is possible people are already calling me "Lord Chaos" in internet mythologies, as "chaos Craig" was my nickname years ago (Internet Book of Shadows).

Note 10/25/2013:  Never mind this post.  It is crud.  See craig-ancestry.blogspot.com for more.

I count Odin and Thor in my direct paternal ancestry and I suggest posthumous deification occurred. Does Paul Bunyan ring a bell? King Wittekind son of Odin, another of my paternal ancestors was a Norse Pagan and forced into Christian conversion after Charlemagne executed possibly 4,000 of his men at Verdun. Anyone who has studied mythologies of other cultures understands that most "gods," were actual people, having an actual day of birth and a day of death. King worship is common to Jewish history as well. It may be an area of confusion in popular thought. Check out the book Antiquities of the Jews (Flavius Josephus) for examples of king worship of David son of Boaz.

Faith is Logical!

Driving Force = Matter / Decay

If God is "Driving Force," then Driving Force is one, while matter and decay describes the cycle of reality.
If a human is "Driving Force," then decay is variable, while matter is the flesh. The driving force of a human is the soul. The goal is for humane Driving Force, such that freewill connects us in harmony; otherwise stated for a human to be of God. Reworded, the goal of freewill is to find the meaning of God, and not only know this meaning, but to act in accordance to the will of God. Thus, decay of human flesh always perverts the meaning of God, the Collective Singular that we live in. To disbelieve in God is to deny Torah, or literally to believe that there is no consequence for action.

Utopian Atheism: A Threat to an Age of Peace

One of the greatest threats I see to entry to the Messianic age, what is referred to as the 1,000 years, in the book of Revelation, is the idea of the noble atheist.  “Noble atheists” don’t believe in Gd because they see everything that is bad that has happened in history as the result of human faith; things such as the Crusades, the Inquisition, and more recently the Holocaust.  IMHO these horrors have everything to do with Gd, and that there are winners and losers.  The righteous receive rewards.  The wicked are eventually punished or cut off.

The concept “noble atheist” is the idea that if we could just rid humanity of god or God in every way, because there is not Gd according to atheists, then we could achieve some sort of utopia.  This is the ideal to atheists that is unlike other utopias in that it is more like what atheists might term normal living through not associating Gd to life’s ups and downs.

My fellow friends, this is not what Gd wants for us and I don’t believe that He will tolerate all noble atheists, as some of these people, like Christopher Hitchens, will probably just grow angrier and angrier at Gd until their punishments become unbearable, leading them to death.  They won’t even know that the stones thrown from the heavens, nor their followers know that the stones thrown at them from the heavens are due to their deeds because they have wronged the Almighty.

Eventually, Gd will not tolerate the idea of the noble atheist, except for maybe the secular humanist, because these people are cut off from Gd’s word, the Bible.  As Ravi Zacharias said, “Without the Bible, the world would be without a compass.”  Now I know he, Ravi, is a Christian.  However, there are a lot of Christians that do a lot right, and just a little wrong.  I know that I have associated Christianity as being one of the great evils of our world, and that Hashem is the only answer to Christianity, but that is not to say nothing good ever came from Christianity.  Hopefully, Christians will come to see that Judaism is the only way, and that Jesus does not represent, “The way, the truth and the life,” at all for Talmud includes, “Jesus is in hell where he is boiling in hot excrement.”

Why Many Scientists Are Atheists

According to my religion, doctors are supposed to act as if there is no Gd when it is time to heal.  This action, suspension of belief for the sake of administering healing, is fundamental to the way modern medicine is currently practiced.  When doctors find suspension of belief in the practice of medicine works, this is often when pride becomes puffed up, such that they take their job disbelief home with them, and IMO miss out on the joys of faith.

Cyanobacteria, Trees, the Sun, and the Day Age Creation Theory

This image is of cyanobacteria.  Cyanobacteria existed, and they still exist as one of the most essential species ever- otherwise known as blue green algae as the seeds (ancestors) of trees before the sun was created.  Like trees cyanobacteria can process sunlight, although unlike trees, they do not need it.  This is because in science a species can acquire a trait without immediate use for it. 

I happen to be a day age theorist with respect to science and with respect to the Bible that the days of creation where not literal 24hr days. I have written on this subject elsewhere, with other conflicts in the Genesis creation account resolved without deviation from what most scientists teach with respect to how the universe and our world came into being.

In the Genesis creation week, I translate the Hebrew word, “Yom,” which is usually used to mean a literal 24 hour day, to mean an age. Though this is not the usual translation of yom, sometimes yom is translated to mean an age in other biblical literature. For example, one Psalm writes that, “A day (yom) of Gd’s time is like 1,000 years of man’s time, or a watch in the night.”

This theory, the day age theory often has criticisms that I resolve. In support of this theory, Cyanobacteria, the cells that evolved to have chloroplasts existed for before the Cretaeous extinction. The Cretacious extinction that blotted out the sun and caused an estimated 95% of species to become extinct is the period.

How can this be? I believe that the Hebrew creation week should rather be translated that seeds of what would evolve as trees, specifically cyanobacteria, where created before the sun came into existence. Thus, this explains why the "trees" did not die for lack of sun. The primitive chloroplasts existed while the sun was blotted out. Thus, I suggest that on age 3 of creation, these cyanobacteria evolved.

As a part of evolution, it has been proven that cells can evolve. Richard Dawkins mentions this in his book, “The Greatest Show On Earth.”

In conclusion, according to the fossil record shows the Genesis creation account to be true. The chronological period, age 3, where in the Bible seeds of trees, cyanobacteria where created - complete with a chloroplast serving no purpose - occur before the creation of the Sun, but not before Day, or Light.

On the Age of the Universe: I haven’t a clue as to the age of the universe, but…

We can extrapolate from science that there is a created order.  This is not a world of which miracle chaos has no part, and yet there is a periodic table and various physical equations where we feeble humans can gain grandiose opinions of ourselves, especially if we have an aptitude for such things.

From the perspective of some it is uncertain whether something intelligent created that order (or not), or if that order was created intentionally by an Intelligent Being.

I believe the universe was created by Gd, as it would be odd for humanities obsession to with Gd to be accident, if there was no Gd.  If the universe is indeed ordered, as the scientists say, then naturally worship is part of that order, as what else could it be?

Thus, my opinion: Gd grants grace to scientists like Richard Dawkins despite their atheism, as they still approach their work in the way that is pleasing to Gd, emulating Him voraciously in their discipline they resemble an all consuming fire, giving purpose to an atheist.

Craig Hamilton I believe in the Jewish Gd, and have studied Judaism for some time. The Rabbi whom I have been in communication with had an answer for that question Hitch spoke of. In fact, I was addressing the Rabbi with Hitch's argument for sometime. I had been furious that he, the Rabbi, had asked me whether or not I was a Jew because of what that means with respect to the Bible. Essentially, it felt like he was asking me if he could treat me like shit or not. Meaning, if I was not a Jew, then it would give him the right to do what Hitch describes. However, seeing that this was indeed a problem, the Rabbi did tell me that he felt the Bible must be being misinterpreted if those consequences where to be allowed, meaning that misinterpretation of the Bible must have occurred if it were true that I could be treated like shit if I am not a Jew, and that he said that in my case, as one whom has studied with the Jews for several years, though I have not gone through a ritual conversion, that my affiliation with the Jews would be reason to not do these abhorrent things that are in the Torah. I would also like to mention that the USA has been outsourcing work for some time now. Our industrialists are taking advantage of people in other countries through paying substandard wages to them. Most of these businesses might as well be atheistic, and that slaps Hitches answer for without Gd, the USA seems to feel that it is only natural to enslave other nations. One question that I would like to ask Hitch is, what sustains the universe if there is no Gd. That is, whether it be good or bad, the universe is sustained as the result of something that would appear to be so mystical that it seems most reasonable to label the Sustainer of the universe as Gd. That is for example, we know of things such as atoms, but what we do not know why they are sustained as atoms except through rather flimsy scientific brouhaha. Maybe Mr. Dawkins would like to answer that one.

**** Review of The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins

I fall into the category of one of those believers that Dawkin's says deserve respect. That is Dawkins is not criticizing all believers in God. He is criticizing the believers in God that are delusional.
