“Who can learn anything new and
not find it a shock?” John Wheeler
“I am persuaded that the future is not as
undetermined, and the past is not as determined as
commonly thought. Ultimately, history is as God
now remembers it to be. When we sincerely repent,
God forgives us and completely forgets our sins. We,
with God’s help, can repent and actually change our
past. This in turn changes our present, and our
future. Our future can be, but does not have to be.
The one that God intents for us. We are always
within God’s will. We may also do His will, being in
His will; being as He wills, is optional.”¹

IN OPPOSITION OR
IN HARMONY?
“Religion and science are
opposed…but only in the same sense
as that in which my thumb and
forefinger are opposed- and between
the two, one can grasp everything.”
Sir William Bragg

IN OPPOSITION OR
IN HARMONY?
The Quantum electrodynamics, Quantum
electrodynamics, q.e.d. describes exactly how photons
interact with electrons in our physical world; such as
light sometimes shinning through a glass window &
sometimes reflecting back off of the glass.
The Quantum electrodynamics, q.e.d. of the
Atonement describes exactly how the love of God
interacts with human sin through the Atonement of
Jesus Christ.
Both are physically real. Both describe physical reality
as anyone/everyone may personally, directly
experience it.

Religion and Science:
Two Sides Of One Coin
Warm summer evenings in Greece in the 4th century B.C.
Democritus¹: 460-370 B.C. “Atomic system” wandering
lights in the night sky, (GK. “planetes”, “wanderers”).
Stationary grains of sand on the sea shore, (“atomos”,
“atoms” meaning “indivisible” or “unbreakable).
Aristotle: 384-322 B.C. The father of science. Knowing
the physical world inexorable leads to knowing the
existence of God & His qualities. (“physika”, “physics”, Gk.
“of nature”, “to bring forth”). Four elements, each with
their unique place & duty in the universe² Everything held
in it’s place, whether fixed or in motion, by eternal
natural laws, ordained by God.

Religion and Science:

Canon, (Authority¹) & it’s limits.
2. William of Occam²: 1285-1349 Occam's two edged
Razor, (scalpel) : Canon + reason.

Religion and Science:
Two Sides Of One Coin
A warm summer evening in Woolsthorpe,
Lincolnshire, England, 1665. Isaac Newton Jr. (1642 1727, noticed an apple fall from a tree. At arms length
the apple appeared about as big as the moon appeared
that evening¹. Newton wondered why the moon was not
also falling². His discoveries changed the world in many
ways! His discovery of the Gravitational Force ended the
age of materialism³ & randomness. There was more than
“atoms and the void.” God did not need myriad angels to
push the moon & planets around⁴. Similar natural laws
might govern everything, including mankind⁵.
Religion and Science:
Two Sides Of One Coin
1. 57 centuries vs. 3 centuries.
2. Special & Natural revelation*.
3. An apparent conflict between them about
“what and how” is resolved by Newton,
(1642-1727) before it became popular:
• The Principia: The Mathematical Principles of
Natural Philosophy, 1687: Discovering God’s
Laws neither limits Him, nor eliminates Him,
It gives us deep, profound insight into Him.
11
Religion and Science:
Two Sides Of One Coin
The division between physical objects & laws
and spiritual objects & laws is a myth,
unrecognized by God, & great scientists
throughout history! Notice how often symbols
of spiritual laws, i.e. “π”,(the compass) “²“, ”³”,
“r²”, etc. appear alone, and in combination,
within so many, so called “physical” laws,
“discovered” millennia after the “spiritual”
symbols and laws had been revealed!
12
Epistemology
What is Knowable?
• There are eternal, universal, unchanging,
objective Truths¹, (Facts)! Everywhere! Always!
• Three very different types of Truth (Facts):
1. Definitional: Bachelors are single because that is
how we define the word. Everywhere! Always!
2. Logical/Mathematical: 2 + 2 = 4! Everywhere!
Always!
3. Empirical/Existential: Water is H² O¹ & it’s triple
point is 0° C at one atmosphere of pressure!
Everywhere! Always!
13
Things aren't always
what they seem:
1. What goes up must come down?
2. The Bigger they are, the harder & faster they
fall?
3. Does the sun rise in the East & set in the
West?
4. Is the chair you are sitting on solid & still?
5. Are you sitting on it at all?
6. Are your feet on the floor?
7. Is grass green?
But there are eternal, universal, unchanging,
objective Truths, (Facts)! Everywhere! Always!
14
Objective vs. subjective truth:
Thinking, speaking & writing on this subject is often
muddled and/or unreasonable. Truth is not subjective if it
meets the criteria of slide # 11. Subjective truth arguments
are often the victim of circular reasoning. If Relativists claim
that all truth is subjective and therefore personal & relative,
than this set, “all truth” includes their own claims of universal
“subjective relativity” and the rest of humanity has no reason
to give any heed to it. Their arguments concerning their
universe being without objective truth says nothing at all
about my universe! If they have an argument about my
universe, (or our universe) that argument would need to be
objectively true. If they can objectively know this,
(Inductively reasoning from their subjectivity, first to mine,
then to universal subjectivity) at least one truth is objectively
15
knowable and other truth may also be knowable.
Objective vs. subjective truth:
This would defeat their argument of universal subjectivity! This
assertion is also demonstrably false! (see slide # 11) What I
know & how sure I am that I know it is the object as well as the
subject of epistemology. It is silly nonsense to dismiss as
“subjective truth,” truth claims that one has not yet subjected to
rigorous tests of epistemological responsibility: “Your belief that
a man walked on the moon is only your subjective truth because
I don’t know that it’s true? The Nazi holocaust was immoral is
only your subjective truth because not everyone agrees?” The
whole purpose of epistemology is to rigorously test and
determine if one can know things and how certain one can be.
To dismiss something as “subjective truth” is to beg the
question and to deprive oneself of both the process & the
product of knowing! This is surely one of the defining qualities
16
and one of the noblest attributes of humanity!
Epistemology
How can I know Truth?
“Some ideas are so bad, they are not even wrong.”
Enrico Fermi. “It is better to be wrong, than to be
vague.” Freeman Dyson.
1. Sense & Non Sense¹: “Canoes, pancake covered dog
houses, and ice cream that doesn’t have legs.”
2. Dogmatism & sorcery: Repeating things
authoritatively doesn’t make them true.
3. Magical/wishful thinking¹: Much of atheism and
materialism is magical and\or wishful thinking.
4. If you call a dog’s tail his leg²… your thoughts and
your words are muddled and wrong.
• Falsifiability: The truth claims of Christianity ³are
completely factual, testable, provable (Falsifiable).
17
Epistemology
How can I know Truth?
1. Can I appeal to authority? Relying on a source
that we trust is the oldest and still by far the
most common way of knowing or making sure.
2. Can I reason through it? Does 2+2=4?
3. Can I observe it?
4. Can I experiment and test it? (Can I make
certain it is true?)
5. Can I “feel it” or “know it in my heart”?
6. Can God tell me it is true? (Can He make me
certain It is true?)
18
Epistemology
How can I know Truth?
Can God tell me it is true?
Can I “feel it” or “know it
in my heart”?
Can I experiment and test
it? (Can I make certain it is
true?)
Can I observe it?
Can I reason through it?
Does 2+2=4?
Can I appeal to authority¹?
19
Epistemology
How certain can I be?
Degrees of Certainty: Faith, Emotion, & Evidence.
1. Probable cause¹:
2. Preponderance of the evidence²:
3. Clear & Convincing:
4. Beyond a Reasonable doubt:
5. Beyond any doubt:
6. No genuine question of fact exists (Judicial notice):
Faith is not believing something or trusting some authority
against common sense or without evidence or some degree
of certainty. Faith is sticking to your evidence based
convictions, even when you are emotionally tempted to20
Epistemology
How certain can I be?
“Any measurement that you make (decision
that you come to) without knowledge of its
uncertainty is completely meaningless.” “A
measurement that doesn’t also indicate its
degree of accuracy is meaningless.”
“Knowing degrees of accuracy is critical to
so many things in our lives.” Dr. Walter

Seeing through a glass darkly
Knowing how to do something and actually doing it
are very different things. Many people use & benefit
from technologies & medicines that they do not
understand. Others understand many things that
they neither use nor benefit from!
One can think of obedience as benefiting from useful
things. One can be obedient out of faith or
knowledge, usually it is a combination of the two.
One can have faith or even knowledge that
something is useful even without knowing how or
why it works!
Seeing through a glass clearly
The ideal situation is “all of the above”, Knowing &
doing. The scriptures make it clear that the very
essence of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is “knowing” &
doing the will of the Father. (The “medicine” & the
“technology”)
AMAZON RIVER ANALOGY
Imagine a society of indigenous people living along a very
rapidly flowing portion of the Amazon river. They know
that certain laws determine travel on the river.
• The river always flows in the same direction, down
stream.
• The rate of flow is always the same for different people
or different boats at the same spot on the river at the
same time.
• No one can change the direction or rate of flow of the
river either generally nor just for themselves.
• Imagine their shock to see a motorized boat that stood
still in rapidly flowing waters & even moved upstream!
MY PROBLEM
• My eyes are capable of seeing a single photon.
• My mind is capable of being both absolutely attentive
and infinitely patient as well as calculating the
relevant equations in real time.
• My spirit, with God’s help, is capable of adjusting the
magnetic attraction & other physical parameters of
my body so that I am neither blocked, nor struck, nor
otherwise hindered by physical objects, time & space.
• YET,
• I AM SO INATTENTIVE that I cannot watch individual
photons interacting with individual electrons in a glass
window.
• I AM SO IMPATIENT that I cannot watch glass in a
window flow.
DID AN APLE FALL ON NEWTON’S HEAD? DID
WASHINGTON CUT DOWN A CHERRY TREE?
There are many disputed assertions of fact in human
history. Many are merely ordinal, was some particular
act the 1st time it had happened? Others are
extremely complex, nuanced & moralistic. Many
others are absolutely factual. One can always dispute
exact time, location, & minute details, but ultimately,
either an alleged event occurred or it did not.
• When human accounts of history conflicts with
God’s memory of history, whose is the more
reliable?
• When your account of history conflicts with God’s
memory of history, whose is the more reliable?
THE PHISICALY NATURE OF TIME
It is very helpful to think of time as any other
dimension, because it is. Think of an appointment.
We usually take altitude for granted, unless we are
meeting somewhere in a tall building, then we specify
altitude by floor level. We always specify longitude &
latitude, usually by street address or familiar
landmarks. WE ALWAYS SPECIFY THE TIME! THAT IS
THE MOST IMPORTANT DIMENSION IN WESTERN
SOCIETY! People often assume the altitude.
Sometimes they are vague as to the exact location
assuming parties will somehow find each other in
space. No one wishes to wander through time not
knowing where in the past or future they might meet!
“RECONING” & “ELOGISTHE or LOGIZETAI”
• The Greek words which Paul frequently uses to
describe his calculations & God’s calculations, ”
‘Ελογίσθη or λογίζεται“ does not mean to
estimate. It means a final & exact computation.
• Frequently the things that he is calculating are not
subject to common or even algebraic calculation.
• Frequently only the calculus would allow Paul to
calculate as he testifies in holy scripture that he
has!
• Paul testifies that God, Abraham & Moses also
calculated with certainty things that required
calculus.
“IMPUTING” & “ELOGISTHE or LOGIZETAI”
• These same Greek words, ‘Ελογίσθη or λογίζεται“
are also translated “imputed”. These words
describe both the calculations that lead to the
Quantum electrodynamics, q.e.d. of the
Atonement & to the Quantum electrodynamics,
q.e.d. of the Atonement itself.

Paul makes it perfectly clear that Christ
substituted His Righteous thoughts, actions, being,
His Righteousness for the thoughts, actions, being
of Abraham and Moses. This is the entirety of
Paul’s point! Their pasts, presents & futures were
exchanged for those of Christ! This transformed
them into the express image of Christ. Think

FORGIVENESS IS DICHOTOMOUS. TRUTH
& QUANTUM WAVE FUNCTIONS OPERATE
INDEPENTENDLY IN THEIR OWN SPHERES.
Therefore the degree to which we may chose to
allow God to bless us, including through Christ’s
Atonement is actually infinite.
The Quantum electrodynamics, q.e.d. of
the Atonement for Abraham
• Jesus has traveled backwards into the past and
actually literally, physically changed his history,
many times. He did this frequently, routinely!
• He removed units of space time from his recent
past and took them forward in time to Nisen 14, 33
C.E. in Palestine. There he Atoned for his sins!
• He filled those units of space time with his
perfection, His Holiness & Righteousness!
• He returned to his recent past and substituted His
history for Abraham’s!
• This changed his past, his present & his future!
The Quantum electrodynamics, q.e.d. of

• He removes units of space time from my recent
past and takes them back in time to Nisen 14,
33 C.E. in Palestine. There he Atones for my

• He fills those units of space time with his

• He returns to my recent past and substitutes His

• One crucial truth to recognize is that reality is not a
running average of the qwfs of our histories.
• Two very real & very opposite beings, (God & Satan)
are striving to transform us exactly & completely into
their likeness & image. One or the other of them will
ultimately succeed.
• We choose every moment of every day who we will
allow to transform us, changing our past, our present,
& our future.
• Once we allow one of them to complete Their work
within us. The work of the other will not be and will
have never been in our past, present, or future!
QUANTUM WAVE FUNCTIONS & INERTIA
Inertia is a very real & powerful force. It literally
takes no effort or energy to continue qwfs in their
present pattern regardless of whether they are
naturally transforming us into the nature of a devil or
through the Atonement they are transforming us into
the nature of God.
However, both sides in this great war over our eternal
destiny, both Beings aided by innumerable hosts of
helpers will continue to exert influence upon us until
we are whole-hearted in our commitment to one
Being or the other.
THE TESTIMONY OF SCIENCE
Let me be clear that this presentation is not about
feelings or faith. It is just the opposite. As A positivist I
am one who seeks knowledge through the direct
experience of himself & others. This is exactly what I
have done. Nothing more & nothing less. The
experiments that I have conducted & replicated
repeatedly have been replicated thousands of times by
thousands of people over thousands of years!
“Who can learn anything new and not find it a shock?”
John Wheeler
It is helpful to regularly review even our most
fundamental understandings in light of our most recent
discoveries.
THE TESTIMONY OF SCRIPTURE
• I know that these things are true because the
Holy Scriptures testify of them completely &
repeatedly!
• This is the subject of all of the prophesies of
the Old Testament!
• This is the subject of the New Testament: all
of the testimonies. All of the prophesies of
the Old Testament fulfilled. All of the
prophesies!
• This is the major theme of Scripture!
MY TESTIMONY AS A THEORITIAN
• I know that these things are true because they are
mathematically true.
• I know that these things are true because these
equations are beautiful & elegant.
• I know that these things are true because only they
explain the history of our universe.
• I know that these things are true because only they
explain the reality of our present.
• I know that these things are true because the Holy
Scriptures testify of them completely & repeatedly.
This is the major theme of Scripture!
MY TESTIMONY AS AN EXPERIMENTALIST¹
• I know these things to be true because I have
personally repeatedly experimentally
verified them.
• I have slowed time, not just the perception
of time, but actually literally, physically
slowed time.
• Jesus has traveled backwards into the past
and actually literally, physically changed my
history, many times. He does this frequently,
routinely!
