On olemassa hyvia kirjailijoita, jotka kirjoittavat hyvia kirjoja. Sitten on niita, joilla on kyky kirjoittaa siten, etta ihmiset pitavat heita hyvina kirjailijoina.

Filosofi Thomas Nagel näkee älykkään suunnittelun samanlaisena tieteen anomaliana tällä hetkellä kuin on kysymys tietoisuuden olemassaolosta: Mikä on tietoisuus, henki, "minuus" ja mikä on sen suhde aivoihin ja muutenkin ruumiiseen sekä ympäröivään todellisuuteen. "Kuinka pelkkä aine synnytti tietoisuuden?" Kari Enqvist sanoi äskettäin eräässä tv-haastattelussa, että tämä kysymys on eräs suurimpia tieteen haasteita tällä hetkellä. Joku saattaa tämän keskustelun muistaakin.

Jyrkän materialismin mukaan tietoisuus ei "saa olla" muuta kuin elektronien liikettä aivoissa, jos halutaan pysyä tieteellisinä. Muuten mennään jo huuhaan, uskonnon tai pahimmassa tapauksessa peräti kreationisminkin puolelle. Silti tiedemaailmassa on nykyisin yhä enemmän tilaa myös keskustelulle, että tietoisuuden olemuksen selittämiseksi tarvittaisiin jokin aivan uusi, toistaiseksi tuntematon tieteenala. Moni tietoisuustutkija ennustaakin, että esim. kvanttimekaniikka voisi tulevaisuudessa tuoda lisävaloa tähän ongelmaan. Nagel toteaa, ettei nykytiede pysty elämän ja sen mahdollistaman geneettisen informaation alkuperää selittämään tuntemiemme fysiikan ja kemian lakien pohjalta, kuten se ei kykene selittämään tietoisuudenkaan olemusta.

Vaikka Nagel onkin ateisti, hänen mielestään Stephen C. Meyerin Signature in the Cell-kirjassa
http://www.amazon.com/Signature-Cell-Evidence-Intelligent-Design/dp/0061472786/ref=sr_1_1/187-9123401-0956702?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1261522183&sr=8-1

esittämää aineistoa ei voida hylätä tai pitää naurettavina. Se ei hänen mielestään edistä tieteen eteenpäinmenoa, päinvastoin. Hän peräänkuuluttaakin asennemuutosta, mitä tulee tieteen anomalioihin suhtautumiseen.

"Human beings are under the control of a strange force that bends them in absurd ways, forcing them to play a role in a bizarre game of deception."-Dr. Jacques Vallee, Messengers of Deception, p. 20

"We are dealing with a multidimensional paraphysical phenomenon which is largely indigenous to planet earth."-Brad Steiger, [cited in] Blue Book Files Released in Canadian UFO Report, Vol. 4, No. 4, 1977, p. 20


"A large part of the available UFO literature is closely linked with mysticism and the metaphysical. It deals with subjects like mental telepathy, automatic writing and invisible entities as well as phenomena like poltergeist [ghost] manifestation and 'possession.' Many of the UFO reports now being published in the popular press recount alleged incidents that are strikingly similar to demonic possession and psychic phenomena."-Lynn E.

1952-Washington, D. C. UFOs on Radar
UFOs buzzed the White House, the Capitol building, and the Pentagon. Seemingly the unknown objects were defying the very governmental agencies sworn to protect the United States from foreign powers. Washington National Airport and Andrews Air Force Base picked up a number of UFOs on their radar screens on July 19, 1952, beginning a wave of sightings still unexplained to this day. Numerous photographs were taken of the unknown objects.

1959-The Papua, New Guinea UFO Event
Father William Gill, Anglican priest, would relate a series of remarkable sightings above his church. UFOs with occupants in the clouds who waved back at witnesses highlight this case. Called "one of the best" documented cases of a close encounter of the second kind by J. Allen Hynek.
1961-Betty & Barney Hill Abduction
The best known case of alien abduction. While driving home from vacation, Betty and husband Barney Hill would lose two hours of time during an alien encounter. They would undergo physical exams at the hands of their alien captors. This case was the subject of a book and a movie.
1964-UFO Lands in Socorro, New Mexico
Policeman Lonnie Zamora would see an unusual object landed in the desert of New Mexico while racing to what he thought was an explosion. Two occupants of the craft were visible. Zamora could make out an insignia on the front of the craft before it flew away. Investigated by Dr. J. Allen Hynek.
1965-Exeter, New Hampshire UFO Sightings
A series of UFO sightings took place which gained vast media attention, and became the subject of the book, "Incident at Exeter," by John G. Fuller. The sensational happenings were also featured in a two-part article in "Look" magazine. Many eyewitness accounts by respected community members make this one of the best cases.
1965-The Kecksburg, Pennsylvania Crash
What exactly soared through the late afternoon skies of Canada, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania on December 5, 1965? Eye witnesses described the unknown object as a "fireball," but it seemed to be under some type of intelligent control, as it veered somewhat in Ohio toward the Quaker State. The fiery object crashed into a wooded area near Westmoreland County.

While prospecting for silver near Falcon Lake, Steven Michalak was astonished to see several strange objects in the sky. One hovered, and then landed. Michalak ventured close enough to touch the landed craft, and look inside. He was subsequently burned on the chest by an exhaust vent.
1967-UFO Crash at Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia
Eyewitnesses see several unknown objects in the sky, and soon they crash into the sea. Rescue workers, fearing a plane crash, rush to the area, only to find bright, yellow foam on the ocean. Several days of search find nothing. Investigators believe the object, still intact, has left the area.

1976-Tehran, Iran UFO / Jet Incident
The Iranian UFO chase is one of the premier UFO encounters in the history of the subject. A highly advanced vehicle, performing well beyond present-day capabilities, created fits for the American-equipped Iranian Air Force. Blackouts of the missile firing control panel, just before the pilot was about to launch his air-to-air missile, could be attributed to a mechanical fault seems beyond what sheer odds would allow.
1976-Allagash Waterway Abductions

1981-The Trans en Provence UFO Incident
A man's attention is attracted by a slight noise, a sort of faint whistling. He sees a device in the air at the height of a big pine tree at the edge of the property. The device was coming lower toward the ground. He clearly sees the device resting on the ground. Right away it lifted off, still emitting a slight whistling sound. Reaching a point above the trees, it left at high speed toward the forest of Trans.
1981-The Hudson Valley Sightings
The Hudson Valley UFO account is made up of many sightings, all similar, and all pointing to one conclusion. There was something "unexplained" going on only an hour's drive north of New York City. The UFO lights were a brilliant red, green, and white. What was the strange craft? This would be the question that many would try to answer.
1987-The Gulf Breeze Sightings

Meneekö pääsi pyörälle erilaisten kirkollisten liikkeiden paljoudesta? Ei hätää. Seuraavan listan avulla olet taas kartalla. ;-)

Syökää kaikki: Roomalaisten leijonien liike ensimmäisinä kristillisinä vuosisatoina. Nykyisin liikettä vastaa Haastakaa oikeuteen kaikki-liike.

Ottakaa ja juokaa kaikki: Korkeakirkollinen liike, joka kannattaa mm. jälkikonsekraatiota sekä ehtoollisaineiden loppuunnauttimista ehtoollisen vieton jälkeen.

Ottakaa ja juokaa kaikki: Äärikansankirkollinen liike, jonka mukaan ehtoolliselle pääsyyn riittää se, että kuuluu ihmislajiin.

Haastakaa oikeuteen kaikki: Suvaitsevaisten ja edistyksellisten liike, joka etsii seurakunnista vanhauskoisia pastoreita haastaakseen heidät oikeuteen suvaitsemattomuudesta ja liian vähäisestä edistyksellisyydestä.

Uudistakaa kaikki: Ns. "Spongilaisten" liike, joka haluaa uudistaa kaiken maalla, merellä ja ilmassa, ettei kristinusko vain osoittautuisi vanhanaikaiseksi.

Porsaita äidin oomme kaikki: Aikanaan ns. nauruherätyksen liepeille syntynyt liike, jossa korostettiin Pyhän Hengen manifestaatioita, joiden vallassa ihmiset alkoivat käyttäytyä kuin eläimet.

Hyvin on kaikki: Kirkon hallintokoneistoon kuuluva liike, jonka tarkoitus on löytää kaikesta negatiivisuudesta uutisoinnista aina jokin positiivinen pointti ja vakuuttaa, että kirkolla menee oikeasti tosi hyvin.

Erotkaa kaikki: Vapaa-ajattelijoiden aggressiivista käännytystyötä tekevä liike, jonka tarkoituksena on saada kaikki eroamaan kirkosta ja liittymään heidän riveihinsä.

Nolatkaa kaikki: Taho, joka suunnittelee kirkon julkisuuskuvaa "parantavat" kampanjat.

Antakaa kaikki: Amerikkalaisten tv-evankelistojen liike. "Raha on pahaa, antakaa kaikki rahanne siis minulle."

Suvaitkaa kaikki: Haastakaa oikeuteen kaikki-liikkeen sisarjärjestö. Haluaa antaa kirkosta lempeän ja pehmoisen kuvan suvaitsemalla kaikkea paitsi niitä, jotka ovat eri mieltä heidän kanssaan.

Aiemmin oletettiin, että biologisen elämä olisi pohjimmiltaan hyvin yksinkertaista.
Tämä oletus on kumoutunut. Näkeminen, liikkuminen ja muut biologiset toiminnot
ovat osoittautuneet vähintään yhtä monimutkaisiksi toiminnoiksi kuin televisiokamerat
ja autot. Biokemian tutkimuksen kumulatiiviset tulokset osoittavat selvästi, että
elämän mahdollistava perustus on joukko koneita – molekyyleistä tehtyjä koneita!
Molekyylikoneet vievät lastejaan paikasta toiseen solussa valtateillä, jotka on tehty
toisista molekyyleistä. Samaan aikaan toiset toimivat kaapeleina, köysinä ja rakenteina,
jotka pitävät solun koossa. Koneet aktivoivat solun eri toimintoja. Joskus toimintojen
tarkoituksena on saada solu kasvamaan, toisinaan lopettaa se. Aurinkovoimalla
toimivat koneet nappaavat valohiukkasten energian ja varastoivat sen
kemikaaleihin. Sähköiset koneet sallivat virran kulkemisen hermoston kautta. Rakennuskoneet
valmistavat toisia molekyylikoneita ja itsensä. Solut uivat koneita
käyttäen, kopioivat itsensä koneellisesti, sulattavat ruuan koneita käyttäen. Lyhyesti
sanottuna äärimmäisen hienostuneet molekyylikoneet ovat vastuussa kaikista solun
prosesseista. Elämän yksityiskohdat ovat hienosäädettyjä, ja sen koneisto on suunnattoman
monimutkainen.

-Michael Behe: Darwin`s Black Box (1996) s.4-5

"Useimmat ihmiset pitävät parempana uskoa johtajiensa olevan oikeudenmukaisia ja reiluja, myös silloin kun todisteet puhuvat päinvastaisesta, koska kun ihminen kerran myöntää itselleen että hallitus valehtelee ja on korruptoitunut, hänen on tehtävä valinta sen suhteen mitä hän itse aikoo asian suhteen tehdä. Ryhtyminen toimiin korruptoituneen hallituksen suhteen sisältää riskejä omassa ja läheisten elämässä. Valinta ettei tee mitään tarkoittaa taas luopumista omakuvassaan periaatteiden puolustamisesta. Useimmilla ihmisillä ei ole rohkeutta kohdata tuota valintaa.

Siksi suurinta osaa propagandasta ei ole suunniteltu huijaamaan kriittistä ajattelijaa, vaan ainoastaan antamaan moraalisille pelkureille tekosyy olla ajattelematta lainkaan."

- Michael Rivero

"Ironically, we live in a
time when many claim that
everything is relative.
Yet they believe they have
rights."
-Paul Copan

Mieltäni pedot piirittää
ne saartavat satimeen hiljalleen
Kuiskaten korvaani lorut nää
vie valheiden ruhtinas pimeyteen

Saitko sittenkään anteeksi syntisi sun?
Eikö olekin myöhäistä kääntyä, kun
ei enää ole paitasi puhtoinen
vaan likainen, limainen, saastainen?`

Ei kukaan kai tuollaista huolia voi
Päässäni lause tuo karmiva soi
Oi Herrani Jeesus, sä ethän mua jätä
On minulla kuoleman tuska ja hätä

Soimaavan, syvän syytöksen
hän vaimensi Sanallaan, voimalla sen
Kynsistä kiusojen pettävien
Hän vei minut vuorille vapauden

Siispä pedot ja pimeys pauhatkoon
mä elävän Jumalan lapsi nyt oon
kaikki syntini anteeksi antoi Hän
kun Hän ristillä nujersi syyttäjän

Laulusta: syytös

Suurin osa ihmisistä ajattelee, että heikompien yksilöiden syrjiminen saati murhaaminen on epäeettistä. Vahvemmat ja elinkelpoisemmat kansat eivät ole oikeutettuja hyväksikäyttämään saati kaasuttamaan vähemmän kehittyneitä kansoja. Se on vain väärin.

Mutta miten kauan toisten lajimme yksilöiden eliminointi on ollut eettisesti väärin? Oliko heikompien laiminlyönti ja hyväksikäyttö moraalitonta kun lajimme ei vielä kulkenut kahdella jalalla ja eleli Afrikassa. Olisiko se, mitä Stalin, Hitler ja Pol Pot tekivät ollut "pahaa", jos se olisi tapahtunut 500.000 tai vain 50.000 vuotta sitten. Joku voi sanoa, että tuolloin lajimme ei ollut vielä eettisesti niin korkealla tasolla kuin nykyään.

Mutta kuka asettaa sen rajan, jolloin jokin laji on tarpeeksi "kehittynyt", jotta sen voidaan sanoa olevan vastuussa teoistaan.Ateistisesta näkökulmasta ei ole olemassa objektiivista moraalilakia, jonka pohjalta kansanjohtajia voitaisiin syyttää "rikoksista ihmisyyttä vastaan" Mitä on ihmisyys, koska se syntyi? Eivätkö kaikki keinot ole sallittuja, jotka edistävät elinkelpoisten säilymistä kussakin ekologisessa lokerossa? Ateistin olisi johdonmukaisesti ajateltava, että kaikki mikä ehkäisee luonnonvalintaa ja eliöiden kehitystä on rikos luonnonjärjestystä vastaan.
