I recently listened to this biologist/scientist, Richard Dawkins, on his perceptions of reality. Richard is an atheist, from England, who says that there is NO EVIDENCE of a Higher Intelligence (God). He claims that we should not posit a Creator God when we think about reality. For him this is much to 'complex'. But is Richard aware of real-time reality? For example: where do my/your ideas originally come from? Where does an 'idea' originate from? Who produced the 'first' idea? Let's think on this issue (the origin of 'words') as it totally refutes the thinking of scientists who say there is NO EVIDENCE of a Higher Intelligence!
Let's ask this question to start with: where did the thinking 'words' of Adam/Eve come from (originally derive from)? Our Creator God formed the first human (Adam) and then he breathed his spirit (life) into this creation (man). Life emerged from the spirit of our Creator God. This spirit also must have given Adam his first set of 'ideas' (words). How could Adam 'name' all the animals without an idea that produced each NAME? It's impossible! Names come from prior ideas which must first be DERIVED from our Creator. Names/words/ideas are spiritual phenomena! Today, we call this part of human 'consciousness'!
It's axiomatic that Adam (later Eve) did not originate their own ideas. Ideas are 'derived'. Ideas come from a prior 'source'. Ideas (words) arrive in the MIND and then I/You construct our thinking from these ideas/words. Adam and Eve were our first parents on this planet. They were created by this spiritual SOURCE that we call God. They did not create themselves. They did not choose their original thinking. They did not create their behavior without having prior IDEAS (words) to construct their behavior from. Impossible! Behavior derives from words (thinking) which comes from a SOURCE (outside ourselves).
Real-time reality is obvious...in that we are all BORN without any knowledge of our destiny. We come into this world with life (being) which mostly involves a BLANK slate (mind) at the time of birth. Our mind's are not capable to clear thinking until we get new 'ideas' (words) to construct into reality. Ma ma starts the game of life as she helps us with new 'ideas' (words). We then produce our behavior (action) from these ideas/words (all derived). But who is the ultimate SOURCE of an 'idea'? Where did the FIRST 'idea' come from? Who was the source? Our world works via 'cause' and 'effect'. We need a 'cause' prior to an 'effect'.
What my atheist friends miss in their thinking is their OWN lack of understanding on the origin of 'ideas' (words). Where did the FIRST 'idea' come from? If Adam was the first man created, then his WORDS must have come from his CREATOR (who else). God must of been the FIRST cause/source. God infused his thinking (plan) into the MIND of Adam so that he could then 'name' all the animals. Each animal was brought before Adam to 'name'. He chose the 'name' LION for a specific animal. He chose the 'name' BEAR for a specific animal. He chose the 'name' EAGLE for a specific bird. All of our animal kingdom has 'names' which started with Adam (via God). The spiritual realm must be the ultimate SOURCE of ideas?
My worldview is based on the idea that I/You operate in real-time 'AT EFFECT'. We do not originate our ideas or our thinking (from ourselves). We are not the first CAUSE. What happens is that we are BORN (with no ideas of significance) and we then DERIVE new ideas (and language) so as to construct our thinking. If I am born in America, I generally will develop my thinking with the English language. If I am born in Sweden (as my parents were) I develop the language of Swedish. The ideas (culture) of America and/or Sweden develop over time as I construct my 'ideas' and 'words' into reality. It all happens spontaneously and without any real understanding of the ORIGIN.
What my atheist thinkers are unable to DISCERN (so it seems) is their own inner thinking. Who or what is the SOURCE of their 'ideas' and 'thinking'? Are they robots of their thinking? Are we all robots of our thinking (to some degree)? Is it possible that our spiritual Source for all this thinking is GOD (our Creator)? If so, then is it also possible that this Source is responsible for our entire DESTINY (outcome on this planet)? Are we all operating AT EFFECT without knowing it? I think so! We discern a BIRD in the tree but we can not discern the origin of the first 'name' for this bird. Adam was the first person on this planet. Scripture says he 'named' the first animals. Who provided the 'names'?
If Adam got his first 'ideas' from his Source (our Creator/Potter) then it seems logical that you and I also get our destiny (set of ideas) from this same Creator (via parents/friends) within our family. Ma ma came from (say) my/your mother. But where did Adam and Eve get their first ideas? Our first parents had no prior 'parents' (other than God). My logic says that it was God (our Creator) who supplied Adam/Eve with their FIRST words. They then developed as human beings as more 'ideas' (words) were provided. Am I and/or You any different? Do not our 'ideas' and 'words' produce our continuing behavior (ultimately our destiny)? I think so!
Richard Dawkins and similar scientists who dismiss the reality of a CREATOR are missing their own inner self. They are not discerning their own inner thinking as key to their behavior. We all live in TWO realms of reality (the realm of matter/material) and the realm of spirit (life). LIFE derives from the spiritual realm. Our 'consciousness' is part of this spiritual realm. Matter derives from the material realm. Get to know yourself to discern these realities. Our future is obviously pre-destined. Our Creator's thinking (plan/goal) will determine our ultimate DESTINY. That is my perception. Mr. Dawkins has an invalid understanding IMO. Have a great day!
