It all starts from so long ago, the question has always been there but never answered to a degree of certainty, thus still leaving the decision of two choices in limbo. Please be aware that I do not claim that this blog will be the answer to the burning question, as like many others I am searching for answers on a spiritual journey.
Some of the areas I will be looking at in this blog are as follows
- In The Beginning
- Magic And Illusions of The Years - Man vs Miracle
- Theory's And Theorists Over The Years
- Facts And Evidence
- Predictions And Prophecies
- Spirits!!! Are They Guides? Do They Exist?
- Legends And Myths
In The Beginning Part 1
Their is a part in the bible (Genesis 1) claiming of how the world and its everything upon it was created in six days and the day of rest being the Sabbath day which in many places falls on a Sunday.
- Day 1
God created the Earth and Sky, Light and Day.
- Day 2
God created the division of water by commanding the water to become water above "sky" and water below "Ocean", both being separated by what was called "air".
- Day 3
God commanded the water to gather together "seas" so that land could emerge "earth", God then commanded the Earth to produce plantation that would reproduce themselves.
- Day 4
God commanded the "sun" to rule the day and the "moon" to rule the night to separate the day from night.
- Day 5
God created life in the seas and life in the skies. Each of these life's created more of its own kind.
- Day 6
God created animals and creatures to walk or crawl the earth. Each of these was able to produce more of their own kind. Next God created "man" to rule over everything he had created before finally creating "woman" from the rib bone of Adam.
- Day 7
God was pleased with everything he had created, This was to be his day of rest and a "Holy Day" as it was on this day that God had decided he had finished.
In The Beginning Part 2
On the first day, two particles of nothing "Dark Matter" and nothing "Dark Energy" collided together to create a "Something" called "The Big Bang", which was to become the existence of the "Very Early Universe" One of these nothing particles is commonly known in this day in age as "The God Particle".
Upon this "Early Universe" the timeline goes as follows
Planck epoch, Grand unification epoch, Electroweak epoch, Inflationary epoch, Reheating, Early universe, Supersymmetry breaking, Quark epoch, Hadron epoch, Lepton epoch, Photon epoch, Nucleosynthesis, Matter domination: 70,000 years, Recombination: ca 377,000 years, Dark ages, Structure formation, Reionization: 150 million to 1 billion years, Formation of stars, Formation of galaxies, Formation of groups, clusters and superclusters, Formation of our solar system: 8 billion years, Today: 13.7 billion years.
Planck epoch
In the "Beginning," there was no beginning. Before the Planck time, there was no time and there was no space yet somehow from this emptiness there would emerge a time and space that would eventually conceive the universe.
Planck epoch
In the "Beginning," there was no beginning. Before the Planck time, there was no time and there was no space yet somehow from this emptiness there would emerge a time and space that would eventually conceive the universe.
Grand unification epoch
The universe during this epoch is between 10-43 and 10-35 seconds old.
The universe is just cool enough to allow a phase transition in which the force of gravity separates from the other three fundamental forces which at this point are still unified into one force called the electronuclear force.
Electroweak epoch
At around 10-36 seconds, The Higgs field may be making its first appearance, setting into place a framework in which all matter can come into existence.
Inflationary epoch
This phase transition is thought to have happened about 10-35 seconds after the creation of the Universe. It filled the Universe with something called "vacuum energy", As a consequence of this vacuum energy density, Gravitation effectively became repulsive for a period of about 10-32 seconds. During this period the Universe expanded at an astonishing rate, increasing its size scale by about a factor of 1050. Then, when the phase transition was complete the universe settled down into the big bang evolution.
Reheating
During reheating, the exponential expansion that occurred during inflation ceases and the potential energy of the inflation field decays into a hot, relativistic plasma of particles. At this point, the universe is suspected to have been dominated by radiation; quarks, electrons and neutrinos.
Early universe
Light, at this stage was free to pass through the universe as the expansion of the universe changes it from opaque to transparent. In the "Very early universe" (when temperature was 10 billion K) Due to the high temperature, photons had enough energy to create electron-positron pairs. It is now that great numbers of electrons and positrons exist in thermal equilibrium with the radiation. As the universe expanded, it cooled and because of this cooling Photons now have too little energy to create pairs, so electrons and positrons are no longer in thermal equilibrium.
Now without doing all the work, I will leave the rest of the list to research yourselves if you are curious. If we take a moment to stop and think, lots of this information is like information provided in the holy book. It is not the details that I am referring to but the fact that the details are both wrote by man and at no point was man ever their at the beginning. Their is what scientists claim to be proof, but most of what is being said is either theoretical or their is no way to prove which therefor only leaves them to assume.
Now when it comes to religion or religions their seems to be some strong similarity's as to what they stand for
- Live A Good Life The Best Way You Can
- Believe Wholeheartedly In A Force That Is Not Visible To The Human Eye
- Fight For Your Belief And Have Faith
- Each Faith Or Partition Of Religion Other Than Ones Own Belief Is Incorrect
If a person does a good deed for another does that mean that the individual is one step closer to the gates of heaven, or is the feeling of heaven already within the person as the good deed that was acted upon felt right or was the right thing to do?
Was Jesus sacrificed on good Friday and resurrected on Easter Sunday? or are these days just for commercialism? and a similar question stands for the idea of Christmas and the birth of Jesus Christ and also the dates around these celebrations.
The Birth Of Religion
Upon my research into the subject "The Birth Of Religion" it seems apparent that the first religion was possibly introduced by the caveman. It is proposed that they may have worshiped the sun and moon for their prosperity, hunting and gathering and also their well-being. The emerging field of the anthropology of consciousness suggests that religion is an evolutionary adaptation. The hypothesis is, that with the power of suggestion and the ability to apply faith--the capacity to "believe,"--our ancestors were able to induce vast and at least relatively effective placebo effects. Those without the power to believe died off from the Family Tree, and the ones that were left over continued to repopulate. In short, those better able to believe in something, open themselves up to the "unknown," make themselves suggestible, alter their state of consciousness (i.e. trance, ecstasy, possession, prayer and meditation, ritualized concentration, force of will, so on so forth) were predisposed to survival. The medicine of the time was rooted in shamanic practices and tribal religions. So, perhaps, with the development of group histories, or even coherent and "Selfed" groups of people in general "The Birth Of Religion" was upon mankind.
Some people believe that religion originated in the Near East, perhaps with the Hindu who believed in many gods who fell beneath the supreme god Brahma. Advanced civilizations like the Assyrians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans believed that there was a pantheon of gods. Christian religion, though an offspring of Judaism, did not form from any of the great currents that are dominant in the Jewish beliefs that are known under the names of Pharisee, Sadducee and Essene, instead It sprang from small eccentric circles of people and also it stood out so little in the history of Palestinian Judaism.
A great deal of debate exists over the origin of religion. Some prehistoric finds suggest that religion of some sort may have been a part of mankind since the very beginning. To the primitive man everything is living in the first place, and to him death in the sense of annihilation has no meaning at all. One theory is that Religion, was the conscious manifestation of the human desire to return to the unity and harmony which was once present at the very beginning. Another theory is that in actuality religion was around at the birth of humanity as a response the spiritual void that material association in daily life provided, but I will discuss various theory's later on in this documentation.
Magic And Illusions of The Years - Man vs Miracle
Magic versus Miracles, This is a spiritual subject that has caused more arguments and misunderstandings than just about any other subject. I am going to start by using a familiar story for this area of my discussion.
Moses who performed God-assisted miracles such as casting a staff and turning it into a snake. However, to the dismay of Moses, he discovered that the Pharaoh's magicians could match his feat.
An illusionist called "Criss Angel" has publicly walked on water, leading unsuspecting or religiously unsure people, to believe that their is a possibility that he is Jesus reborn "the second coming".
In a public place, during a marriage celebration, Jesus turned water into wine, showing everyone that he could alter the outer world with his inner being. It was a huge test to see if what he knew could actually be manifested. And his success at turning water into wine was also the birth of his ministry.

Their is two two basic types of miracle, We have nature miracles (that is, calming seas, withering trees, and so on) and we have healing miracles. And healing miracles tend to be one of three basic types: real diseases, standard diseases; exorcisms, where the disease is demon possession (and they thought of demons like we think of germs; you expel them, you get rid of them); and then resuscitation's (that is, raising from the dead, where the disease is basically death). And these are various forms of miracles.
A woman had a hemorrhage for 12 years, which is presumably some sort of menstrual disorder. She would have gone to the Asclepius temple and dedicated her uterus to the god, had she been able to. While Jesus was going through the crowds, he feels a tug on his robes, and this dirty old woman with the menstrual disorder (which in most of the ancient world, and especially in Jewish purity laws, would have made her an untouchable, an impure person, something that no self-respecting man would ever touch or allow to touch him; that's the way they're thinking of it), she comes up secretly and tugs on his robe. In Mark, interestingly enough, that's when she's healed, immediately. In Matthew, Matthew makes Jesus turn around and take note of her, and then she gets healed. Matthew reverses the sequence. In Mark, interestingly enough, she basically heals herself, by showing her faith in Jesus. This nameless marginal character becomes a witness to the real identity and power of Jesus.
Here is a miracle of Apollonius: a young girl seemed to have died in the very hour of her marriage, and the bridegroom was following the bier, weeping over his unfulfilled marriage. Rome mourned also, for it happened that the dead girl was from one of the best families. Apollonius happened to be present while they were mourning, and said, "Put down the bier, for I will end your weeping for this girl." And at that same time, he asked what her name was. The bystanders thought he was going to give a speech like those people give at burials to heighten everyone's sorrow, kind of a paid mourner. But he didn't. Instead, he touched her and, saying something no one could hear, awakened the girl who seemed to be dead. And the girl spoke and went back to her father's house, just like Alcestis, who was brought back to her life by Heracles. And when the relatives of the girl offered Apollonius 150,000 silver pieces as a reward, he replied that he would return it to the child as a gift for her dowry. Miracle sound familiar to you? Raising a young girl? It's the miracle from Mark 5, in fact, called the miracle of Jairus' daughter. A very, very similar miracle. In fact, it follows the pattern of the gospel miracle almost exactly.
