A Worldview in 72 Phrases

After outlining my worldview, and writing well over 200 pages on the subject matter, It occurred to me that I could convey much of the same set of ideas using a set of short phrases drawn from the effort.
While it turned out to be 72 phrases, not a simple few, I believe these phrases do the job. Many of the phrases are mere introductions to quite complex subjects that ordinarily would take extensive development to do them justice; such development I will reserve for my full worldview, and will use the phrases as placeholders for the ultimate treatment.

An amusing thought occurred to me: this list treats much of what President Trump faces and appears to agree with.

Radiance3

================
This is a bundle of wealth, knowledge, and information.
I suggest the 3 branches of government(Executive, Legislative, and Judicial System (SC) must have this list.

Individually, no matter how great and willing a citizen to adhere his obligations for the right and just, an enforcement is needed to make it happen to all.

**Number One reformation is returning to belief in God, our Christian God of love and truth.

Fact of the matter is, the number one enemy right now is that, our country is populated with so many elements destroying Christianity. The 3rd Secret of Fatima in 1917, had revealed this destruction of Christianity by the year 2000.

These are the leftists, democrats, socialists, communists, Marxists, Muslims, Muslim terrorists, illegal aliens, BLM's, MSM'S, LGBT, Atheists, the Deep State of Obama. These are the groups of people multiplied by Obama, to transform the United States, replacing our Constitution to his "Hope and Change" for realizing his goal for the US, to Islam, his religion of peace. Europe is underway now.

There are two most powerful forces of our government today, pulling back and forth.
* The 1st one is the Federal Government under the Executive Br, Congress, and the SC.

*The second one is the DEEP STATE, set up by Obama, which appears to be very powerful dismantling our democratic republic under the Christian-Judeo principles. Before the US could reform, they need to be taken out. This task is very difficult to achieve.

US could not reform the system, unless these underground forces of Obama is taken out. Right now Obama's tentacles have embedded in every agency of the Federal Government.

Radiance, I agree with your assessment, and it is one reason I published my worldview in the hope that others would do likewise so we could assemble a recognized counterforce here of likeminded posters, or at least closely similar. I believe few would agree with each and every one of the 72 items I posted. Thanks for your post.

bahmer

I believe that Trump is trying to dismantle the deep state but it will take help and we have to vote in more senators and congressmen to help him. It's a big job but could you imagine if Hillary would have won.

Radiance3

===============
I have been supporting our Congressmen and Senators. I donate money for their campaign what ever I could afford, and reach out to families and friends all over the country.

Most of all I worry that if this country goes to the democrats and liberals, our Christian faith will be severely persecuted, and dismantled just like Europe. That has been my most concern.

bahmer

It is already a big concern in all of the liberal states like CA and IL as well as NY and others. Abortion is very big in these states as well. All we can do is keep praying and asking the Lord for help.

maryjane

Enjoyed your post and agree with your list. I do believe, though, that one of the most critical issues for our country's survival and successful future is the immigration issue, ALL aspects of it. These two aspects are very worrisome: 1. The quick willingness of so many American leaders, from local to federal, to treat Muslims in our country as some very special group of people that must be catered to, pleased, and appeased. And this occurs no matter what they do, no matter what they say, no matter what they demand. 2. The very fact that we have/allow between 2 and 3 million new people into our country annually, with about a million of them illegal aliens and our leaders make no effort to do anything but increase the numbers while ignoring the inevitable result and the needs of our own citizens. But the fact that the USA has well over 50 million Mexican citizens (at least 20 million illegal), a number expected to reach over 100 million in a few years is plain SCARY. One must assume Mexico has long-term plans for our nation once their citizens are the majority people in our country; yet our congresses just aid and abet all of this. America, as we know her, as she was meant to be, simply cannot survive this onslaught of total change of everything we have always been and stood for.

Radiance3

================
maryjane, please be thankful that president Trump was elected. Had Hillary won, she could have continued Obama's policies especially on immigration, and rapid influx of Muslims.

The democrats want illegal aliens because these are the people who will fraudulently elect them to victory every election. Hillary promised 550% increase of Muslims entry into the US, a quid-pro-quo from the Arab countries who donated to her hundreds of millions of dollars.

President Trump has controlled the illegal entry to 70%. Illegal convicts have routed and deported. President Trump reduced the MS13 gangsters.

But democrat officials wants to keep the Sanctuary Cities like Gov. Brown of California. NY, Oregon, Washington State. These are all democrat states run be democrat governors. Every year, taxpayers spend $116 billion for these illegals, aside from the fraud of about $6.4 billion committed against the IRS.

Our public schools now are mostly populated by foreign nationals, illegal aliens, from Mexico and Hispanic countries, Muslim refugees. Then they demand that we obey them like learning their language. Muslims demand to remove Christian symbols because they offend them. Mexicans women make so many babies for more welfare money.

Because most of the Mexicans and Hispanics could not speak English, we the taxpayers spend hiring Spanish speaking teachers to teach these kids in schools.

They must learn how to speak English, instead of us to learn their language.

[quote=Manning345]A Worldview in 72 Phrases

I have a question about your Item #4, Manning

,
because it appears to be quite a challenge.

Personally, I'm "scientifically challenged," so I queried the internet, and came up with the following information, which reads like an oxymoron:

"It is the biggest of problems, it is the smallest of problems. At present physicists have two separate rulebooks explaining how nature works. There is general relativity, which beautifully accounts for gravity and all of the things it dominates: orbiting planets, colliding galaxies, the dynamics of the expanding universe as a whole. That’s big.

"Then there is quantum mechanics, which handles the other three forces – electromagnetism and the two nuclear forces. Quantum theory is extremely adept at describing what happens when a uranium atom decays, or when individual particles of light hit a solar cell. That’s small.

"Now for the problem: relativity and quantum mechanics are fundamentally different theories that have different formulations. It is not just a matter of scientific terminology; it is a clash of genuinely incompatible descriptions of reality.

"Relativity gives nonsensical answers when you try to scale it down to quantum size, eventually descending to infinite values in its description of gravity. Likewise, quantum mechanics runs into serious trouble when you blow it up to cosmic dimensions. Quantum fields carry a certain amount of energy, even in seemingly empty space, and the amount of energy gets bigger as the fields get bigger.

"According to Einstein, energy and mass are equivalent (that’s the message of E=mc2), so piling up energy is exactly like piling up mass. Go big enough, and the amount of energy in the quantum fields becomes so great that it creates a black hole that causes the universe to fold in on itself. Oops."

/relativity-quantum-mechanics-universe-physicists


It is very likely that I would be unable to comprehend it, but , I have no doubt that you have an approximation as to how the joining of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics would come about? - something on which you base your belief?

In a far away time, I majored in Accounting and Business Management, and the only thing I could relate to this is the distance between Macro and Micro Economics.

bahmer

Very interesting I look forward to the answer but my answer is God handles it and we try and figure out how God does it.

Zemirah Loc: Sojourner En Route...

My second point of inquiry is your second entry:

2. Big Bang Cosmology, 14.7 Billion Years Ago

Of the 150 or so popular beliefs/theories about the earth's creation/formation, this one goes back the farthest in time (14.7 Billion years) thus, has the biggest divergence from the Bible's stated 6,000 or so years since God's creation took place...

In contrast, the youngest "scientific" age theory is 150,000 years, or so I have been told, based on the measured sediment on the bottom of the ocean which has washed off the continents since their creation/formation...

so, I assume you believe the Big Bang theory is more scientifically viable than all other theories?

bahmer

There is one Bible apologist that has constantly gone against the big bang theory and a lot of what he writes debunks the others because they refuse to take into account the great flood. He says that the flood is what everybody is missing because of the upheaval of the earth and unleashing of the wells of water that were released and how that would change even the carbon dating. I wished that I could remember his name but age is catching up with me faster than I anticipated.

Zemirah Loc: Sojourner En Route...

It wouldn't be Chuck Missler would it? He was a graduate of the Naval Academy, and after service in the armed forces and leading edge technology ventures, had become an Evangelist?

bahmer

I don't really remember Zemirah it has been way to many years ago but he had a couple of videos and I'm trying to remember if he was AG or not. Could have been but not sure.

Manning345 Loc: Richmond, Virginia

I have no proper scientific key to just how the two major scientific realities can be merged, rather I have faith that God gave us the intellect to understand the world we live in, indeed the universe we are in. So I have faith that scientists will discover a form of union, a mathematical form, between these realities that satisfies the scientific mind. This is foreshadowed by Max Tegmark in his work at MIT, where he is evolving a mathematical definition of the universe, and from several other theoretical physicists, largely centered on M-Theory/String Theory mathematics, which I simply cannot follow. So I end up as I said up front: I have faith that the two realities will be joined, how, I have no idea. Do any of you?
