THE GODS OF NATURALISM HAVE NO GO!
Moving from the Riddle of Unrealism
to the Reality of Creation
Published February 2011
Extended to March, June, September and October and December 2011
and to March 2013
ISBN 978-0-9870886-1-1
For Preface to this Volume, use this link.
These 6 volumes are
a specialised sub-set of the overall work now of some 230 volumes, and some 25 million words and 60,000 pages.In October-November 2010, there came the addition of the Chapters 56-57. The former is dealing with Genesis and creation, in a synthesis of considerations. The latter focuses on wisdom as given in Job, and covers a broad spectrum of creationist issues, in the light of the absolute wisdom of God, there revealed, in many fields and engages in some spiritual/intellectual experiment for expository purposes. Chapters 54-56 deal with matters of the wisdom of God and its exhibition and the fretful feebleness of man trying to invent creation with words that lack logic and power alike.
Chapters 57-59 continue to deal first with Genesis, generations and genes, the days, with more on dates, then the key to Christian Apologetic Method, amid the evidence situation the validity and the emplacements of God, before we meet with Job and wisdom, what it portends, requires and gives in Chapter 60. In Chapter 61, we have a spiritual-intellectual experiment, linked to Jeremiah 4, before we audit a dialogue in Chapter 62. Further is given as you come to these Chapters.
Chapters 61-62 deal with the dichotomy between dreams and reality, moving from this naturally to the dreams of Dawkins as he exposes a nightmare substitute for the Bible, in discussing the same, a matter duly corrected for his divagations, denunciations and the like. Ch. 63 looks at the exuberance and significance of vitality in Christian Apologetics. It places this in a composite with many other crucial features of life, and their implications.
Chapter 64 provides a dialogue with focus on suffering, design, disaster and deliverance with stress on caution and on our particular contribution, in terms of liberty and revolt.
Chapters 65-66
In the Chapter 65, we have The Area of Implacable Vitality
where an arraignment of specific follies is made, amid the barren postulates of an epically and indeed epochally dismal non-performing scientistic theory, dignified by its improper immigration visa into science. In Chapter 66, we look at a vast realm of design, physical, mental, spiritual, reaching to the heights and descending to the depths.
For positive and negative reasons, it is necessary to move from the riddles of unrealism to the reality of creation.
Accordingly, in Chapter 67, we come to the Dawn of Dawkins and the Prior Dawn of Creation, and gaze upon these infinitely diverse phenomena moving from the riddles of unrealism to the reality of creation.
What of Chapter 68 ? Here, first, are the lists of the unique facilities and functionalities of creation and life, from an institutive point of view are considered and made into one total list with new additions, set in the midst of freedom and its pre-conditions, while the texture of truth in what is before us is pondered amid the panorama of the created and desecrated, made bereft of reductionism and faced.
In the second reference linked here, for Chapter 68, we have the antithesis, that fluting music that knows no basis for its imagination, so that this becomes a satirical exposition on nothing as a mode of thought or basis.
In Chapter 69, in two sections, we see the unholy holocaust of children's minds on the one hand, and a coverage of the fantasies, illusions, invalidities, sophisms, antitheses, antinomy of modern befuddlements such as are made compulsory but certainly not compulsive sources for students of all ages!
Chapter 70 deals with a broad spectrum of antrrualistic dissavours, and links them to one source and one result, whilst its second reference brings to us a conversation with father and son on things ranging from the Middle East to the Supernatural God, in terms of power, performance and prediction such as science might JUSTLY long for. It is here.
In Chapter 71, we give major attention to considerations of command in things natural, personal and supernatural.
Chs. 72-73 (q.v. below) give broad coverage in matters of EDUCATION and POLITICS in the setting of the philosophic, the scientific, the scientistic, the political and the educational, considering recent developments in the News. Ch. 74 specialises in overview, both of faith and unbelief, and is of exceptionally broad coverage.
Chs. 75, 76 and 77 provide a broader coverage of the follies of begin-spin, romance physics, unscientific scientism, egregious inventions and inane contentions in the field of the ultimate, and provide a convenient list of predecessors of this genre.
Chapters from volume 210, Agitation, Cogitation, Aspiration and Conclusion, included in Chs. 76 and 77, are from a work covering dimensions of morals, metaphysics, Messiah and modern developments, with exposition from the Bible. The metaphysical however is a branch of logic, directed to certain fields, not the form of it which deals with delusions as if they had some standing and no need of the exacting pressure of rationality, verification and validation. Dialogue as a specialty is used in Ch. 8, The Clever Kid.
Chapters 78 and 79 deal with starting and stopping universes, and information.
The extent, in June 2012, of The gods of naturalism have no go! appears in excess of one million words, and to be expanding. In all things there is a reason, whether these be small or great, gracious or grating. It applies whether in the spreading of the heavens or of works in a set of books, and the propulsion is what is competent and disposed to or for the work. If formulation, needed is intellect and imagination, spirit and reflection; if formation, then needed are information and production of all resources used. God produces both kinds and is omni-competent, in the micro- and macro- realms alike, in spirit and in person, in concept and creation, in disposition and destining. Not for nothing is He termed the Almighty, though for nothing many sell their souls.
By February 2014, The gods of naturalism have no go! had progressed to Chapter 85, the 12 new Chapters appearing at the end of the list. Three Chapters on the topic of information may be found here.
Chapters 86-87 were later added, the last entry in July 2014, a pithy summary of major fault lines in naturalism, allowing verification at length.
Volume 7 meanwhile begins with Ch. 80.

THE DIVINE INITIATIVE
SEEING STARS,
WHEN THE IMAGINATION IS VEXED, AS IN AN ACCIDENT,
IS NO GROUND FOR SEEING WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY,
AS IF ONE WERE STILL SEEING
THAT KIND OF STARS.This Chapter is very wide-ranging and exceptionally extensive, includes consideration of Redeeming Science (Poythress), and the need for forthright clarity, and casting down imaginations as in II Cor. 10:5.
It surveys the wonder of the results when biblical perspective/propositions and empirical/rational realms are compared. These are exceedingly clear, both in the stricken and various realms of naturalism which cannot stand, and on the other side, in those of knowledge when it is NOT self-contradictory, but properly so-called, and indeed science, one aspect of it, when that is justly so-called. It is then that the triumphant standing of biblical revelation, in close partnership with reason, stands as clearly alone in impact and sustainability, as the testimony of the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbour.
A third contribution is added to this Chapter, so that we have these 3 emphases.
1) Genesis, generations, genes cohere to a marvel; whilst horrible hermeneutics are mere hindering mechanics, spoiling a good car.
2) Divine Initiative, a Key to the actions of God: Christ, more than spiritual entrepreneur, sent as Saviour, no less than the grand Prince of Wisdom, whose works speak as do no other's on earth, whose words attests His ways, whose actions were wrought both in heaven and on earth.
The key to Christian Apologetic Method discussed amid the evidence, its name, nature and place, the validity and the emplacements of God.
3) A spiritual/intellectual experiment
Ch. 9, Volume 9, Possess Your Possessions
Jeremiah 4 and Creating/Desecrating the Universe
This involves a spiritual/intellectual experiment to aid understanding and illustrate what must be realised in the field of the love, patience, power, industry and necessary bases in God. It looks to Jeremiah 4 for crucial input.

We thus have two emphases here, and in the next Chapter comes one in accord, the third. providing three collateral emphases.
1) Genesis, generations, genes cohere to a marvel; whilst horrible hermeneutics are mere hindering mechanics, spoiling a good car.
2) Divine Initiative, a Key to the actions of God: Christ, more than spiritual entrepreneur, sent as Saviour, no less than the grand Prince of Wisdom, whose works speak as do no other's on earth, whose words attests His ways, whose actions were wrought both in heaven and on earth.

This involves a spiritual/intellectual experiment to aid understanding and illustrate what must be realised in the field of the love, patience, power, industry and necessary bases in God. It looks to Jeremiah 4 for crucial input.
The key to Christian Apologetic Method is discussed amid the evidence, its name, nature and place, the validity and the emplacements of God.
It follows in Chapter 61, after Chapter 60 below.

Though closely allied to the two components of Ch. 59, this Chapter deserves a separate location, as its presentation is very particular in kind.

This involves a spiritual/intellectual experiment to aid understanding and illustrate what must be realised in the field of the love, patience, power, industry and necessary bases in God. It looks to Jeremiah 4 for crucial input.
Chapter 62
Here is a broad scope of suffering, design, disaster and deliverance, with stress on causation, its genus and our particular kind, liberty and revolt. It is taken from Possess Your Possessions Volume 12, Chapter 6.
Getting Up to Date
The source of this is TMR Ch. 7, Section E, which has been accumulating for many years as things have progressed in this field of science.
The current aspect, placed here in that Section, may also be found in
The Lie has a Limited Shelf Life Ch. 4, where it takes it place in a spread of considerations of a cumulative character. In particular, a point is made of the concept of point, and the disappointing and pointless results arising through the slippery slopes that lead to logical slide. While this Ch. 4 was written later than the following chapters, its topic fits it best here.

DEATH TO DESIGN OR LIFE THROUGH DESIGN
A Dialogue
Here is a broad scope of suffering, design, disaster and deliverance,
with stress on causation, its genus and our particular kind, liberty and revolt.
Chapter 65
The source of this is CHAPTER 1 THE VISION AND VIRTUE OF VITALITY
of THE VITALITY, THE PERSPICUITY AND THE WISDOM
OF THE GOD OF CREATION AND REDEMPTION
The Area of Implacable Vitality
where an arraignment of specific follies is made, amid the barren postulates of an epically and indeed epochally dismal non-performing scientistic theory, dignified by its improper immigration visa into science.
Chapter 66
This is partly taken from Ch. 7 of Redemption or Revolt.
DREAMS HAVE THEIR PLACE, BUT NOT IN REALITY
Here in conversation mode, we find a dream mode to introduce the escapades that never escape, as reality is seen to overthrow dark visions that never see the light.
Also linked here, is
Ch. 2 of Redemption or Revolt, in which a vast realm of design, physical, mental, spiritual is seen reaching to the heights and descending to the depths, conceived, conceptual, creative, created, the domain of the everlasting mind and designate purposes of the in eludible and ineluctable God.
Chapter 67
This is partly taken from Ch. 10 of REDEMPTION OR REVOLT
HUMAN Jealousy
The Dawn of Dawkins and the Prior Dawn of Creation
This is a composite on the lust-thrust of Dawkins' dreams in the realm of theology and associated topics, with consideration of his blight and burden.
Chapter 68
The source of the first section of this is CHAPTER 2
THE IRRESOLVABLE INTRICACIES OF THE UNREDEEMED
AND THE SINGULAR RESOLUTION OF SALVATION
It is found in:
THE DIVINE SUBLIMITY
OF THE ARDOUR
OF CHRIST AND HIS SALVATION
Here the lists of the unique facilities and functionalities of creation and life, from an institutive point of view are considered and made into one total list with new additions, set in the midst of freedom and its pre-conditions, while the texture of truth in what is before us is pondered amid the panorama of the created and desecrated, made bereft of reductionism and faced. Just as implacable vitality is seen in Ch. 63 above, so here we have new entrants, synthetic integrality, linguistic command, the cessation of the underlying directional dynamic with integral meaning and irresolvable intriacies of the unredeemed and the singular resolution of salvation. This makes 15 units of apprehension made ready for comprehension.
See also, Life, What is it definitive elements and aspects, and the investigatory perspective on a broader base in Repent or Perish Ch. 7.
The source of the second part of section of this is CHAPTER 4 of the same volume.
This specialises in the nullity of what disregards or even disdains empirical reality, drawing from first to last on nothing for everything. As such, it is the perfect contrast, in satire, to the diligent method shown in Ch. 2, coming first in this current Chapter 64.
Chapter 69
The source of the first section of this is
CHAPTER 6 and
CHAPTER 7
CHILDREN IN THE LION'S DEN
Errors and Terrors
of the volume,
THE DIVINE SUBLIMITY
OF THE ARDOUR
OF CHRIST AND HIS SALVATION
Of Chapter 6, there is this to be said. In this extensive coverage, a significant review of naturalistic fallacies in realms logical, empirical and educational is provided, with some up-to-date developments. Concerning Chapter 7, here is a broad, varied coverage of the fantasies, illusions, invalidities, sophisms, antitheses, antinomy, of modern befuddlements, passing as science on the part of many, though the scientific camp is strongly divided. New are seen in the light of old, and I Timothy 6:20 is given exegesis, in the midst of the considerations of the captivity of children by proponents of the naturalistic fallacies, teaching them at the same time, anti-empirical bases for philosophic posturing, dressed up as science.
The positive alternative is considered in its various logical facets, in marked contrast to these rapt wanderings, its biblical beneficence replacing the just curse put on man, its Christian confirmation, centred in Christ Himself, and not man, true not only for life, but in life. As once Israel of old was put in stark discipline, those whose non-innocent waywardness was nationally repetitive, socially and spiritually, morally and even in worship much corrupted (cf. Ezekiel 8, II Kings 16:8-14), now among the Gentiles, as formerly amid the Jews, just such things in modern dress, bring results in suffering to match the insufferable evil of the deeds, whether in mind, or matter's premises. The world writhes.
The way on and out is as delightful as creation, which is considered at some length, and as positive, having relief as well as restoration, and is part of the completion of coverage in validation of what reason finds in God and His word.
A third item placed in this Chapter 65, is Ch. 6 of Diamonds of Divine Divulgement in the Bible.
Chapter 70
This
is partly taken from Ch. 5 of
The Christian Prescription. It deals simultaneously with a broad
spectrum of naturalistic dissavours, and links them to one source and one
result, principially. With this in this Ch. 61, is placed Diamonds of
Divine Divulgement Ch. 8 (cf.
News 1), a conversation between father and son on things
ranging from geology to the Middle East, from the supernatural God in this and
that manifestation of power, performance and prediction, the attestation in the
very world of nature, including our own!
Chapter 71
CONSIDERATIONS OF CREATION
AT THE TRANSMISSION-RECEPTION LEVEL
CREATION BY COMMAND
This is from Chapter 1 of
The Lord of Longsuffering, Prince of Peace, Christ of Command
including,
Eternal Basis of Prescription, Inscription, Description but not Conscription
The Conspectus, Configuration and Competence of Command
The second item in this Chapter 71, is
The Christian Prescription
Ch. 8,
which deals with similar topics, surveying broadly.
Chapter 72
This is received from
Ch. 1 of The Word and Wisdom of God and the Ways of Man
This reviews matter, mind and spirit without suffering subjectivistic exploits, and considers functions in each, and results for all in creation and correlation.
The title of Ch. 1 is:
The Nature of the Cosmos and of the Character of Man
Elements of grace and place and race are considered in their actual and proper connections.
See also Ch. 2 of the same volume, *1 for further on the nature of liberty and the self-contradictory and mutually confrontational theories which show the error of foundation-free thought.
With this Chapter goes as partner Ch. 8 of THE GREAT DIVIDE, which deals with the utter division typified by the flood of Noah, with the distinguishing love (and not mere power or force or preference) of God, and with lessons implicit on the absurdities of naturalism.
This, having a hand-made universe without the means, and a mind-made deployment of logic, this world susceptible to it, without the logic, and invention of logic from nothing as well as a world for its deployment, and all this with a flick of the fingers of nothing which can never do anything, or with the import of everything by smuggling agencies, and brazenly planting it all in the field FOR NO REASON, has further reason for relegation to rubbish.
Thus, with a theory allegedly able to provide designs (under a suitable pseudonym), though never found to provide, let alone the underlying DNA in its elemental force for such, devoid of verisimulitude, divorced from sight, a major proponent laments the contrary facts, a point so mournfully noted by Professor Stephen Jay Gould, who considers it rather odd to account for the ACTUAL loss of some 90% of earlier design types, by a mode of gain! It is a jumble, and such problem types are acknowledged in their basic force by Professor Lewontin, for whom the results of ideology, though fractious, must be endured with quasi-religious disregard of simple things such as conformity to facts, and coverage with rationales which are heirs apparent to their domains. On the contrary, he is ready to endure astounding non-conformities. You often find this: a theory which founders on fact, changes the bases, and invents myths of ANY proportions. When they account for the opposite of what they acknowledge finding, however, we are moving in a certain dénouement!
In this Chapter, many elements of the position are presented with minimal formality, in the flood setting.
Chapter 73
This is received from
1) Christ not Culture, the Lord not Man, Truth not Mere Intractability Ch. 1,
linking curriculum in history and elsewhere with lordly and blindly misinformed culture, esp at History, Science, Curriculum and Country.2) Ch. 2 of the same, at Excursion on Scientistic Pre-Occupations, dealing with the realms of the scientific , the scientistic and their relationship to politics.
Jointly, these provide a broad coverage with useful references for the totality, and are relatively extensive.
Chapter 74
This chapter is received from
THE SPLENDOUR OF THE BIBLICAL COVERAGE
OF THE MEANING AND
MATRIX OF MAN Chs. 3, 5 and 6, which are really one whole.
These too cover broadly, and with some depth, the elements of disbelief and
faith,
from various perspectives, culminating in a biblical perspective simultaneously
a logical necessity.
LITTLE FAITH AND REBELLION
AND
LIVING FAITH IN THE LIVING GOD - THE WORKING COUPLE
This Chapter concerns the first item, and Ch. 6 moves on to the second.
In Ch. 4, one spoke of a spiritual singularity.
Here we come to its contemplation.
LIVING FAITH IN THE LIVING GOD - THE WORKING COUPLE
Chapter 75
This includes two
chapters from the volume No. 208 and one from No. 209.
Volume 208 is
entitled
NOT ONLY IS GOD GREAT, BUT GLORIOUS.
First comes Ch. 5, specialising on matters of information science, with extensive reference to Professor Werner Gitt's new volume, Without Excuse.
From the same
volume comes the Epilogue:
SOLEMN FARCES AND SACRED REALITIES. This pursues naturalism in a political,
Secret Service arena, where morals, national priorities, human degradations,
pompous self-assurance and irrational assumptions are disentangled in a
far-reaching analysis, and brought to their logical realities and
revelatory exposure.
This has two Chapters.
In Volume 209 is PROSPECT, RETROSPECT AND REALITY.
In this, Ch. 5, When Nothing got Fired Up by Nothing, deals with the ludicrous aspects of pre-occupation with nothing and its hideous realism in one point, namely that it is an essentialising of what has for generations now, been an escape clause to avoid God, making it, whether acknowledged or not, the basis of the evolutionism which craves nature to make itself, in the last logical analysis, before it is there to do it, and to do so by means found in it, after it has been made. The confusion deserves all it gets, and in this Chapter is a list of Chapters exposing this and allied features of this convenient philosophic pre-occupation, which stirs the revolutionary heart that so readily beats in man, activates the anti-God ways of Sodom and Nineveh, and leads to atrocities in the flesh resembling those in the spirit and the mind, as naturally as drought leads to shrivelling.
That list is reproduced here as well as in Ch. 5, for convenience, with its introduction..

In
Ch. 1
of this,
NOTHING HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH
THE BIG BANG,
A BIG NOISE ABOUT TRYING TO BE
BRAVE ABOUT BEING LOST,
there is added to this list, a parallel to the preceding Chapter, and a supplement in vivid form.
This has three Chapters.
Also in volume 210 is
AGITATION, COGITATION, ASPIRATION AND CONCLUSION,
Ch.
2. This is an general origination
prelude
to morals,
which comes in Ch. 3.
It is fond of fundamentals, and funding for function, and explores extensively,
with only one
logical result.
Ch. 8 of the same volume 210 in this set, adds dialogue. It can be seen in this setting, as an application of what is basic to this volume. What is its nature ?
This volume moves in dimensions of morals, metaphysics, Messiah and modern developments, with exposition from the Bible. The metaphysical however is a branch of logic, directed to certain fields, not the form of it which deals with delusions as if they had some standing and no need of the exacting pressure of rationality, verification and validation. Dialogue as a specialty is used in Ch. 8, The Clever Kid.
Ch. 3 of volume 211, The Original and Eventual Magnificence, surveys the scene from various viewpoints, with but one result, logically, but a legion of results psychologically and culturally, and indeed in terms of the eventual end of the line, both naturally and in judgment.
CHAPTER 78
This starts with The Original and Eventual Magnificence Ch. 3 and Ch. 4.
The former deals with the underlying logical realities and spurious superficiality which tries such blatantly perverse escapisms from it, as to engender either contempt concern, both in ultimate measure! Scheduled creation is not an option but a patent necessity that no squirming can seduce.
The latter specialises in STOPPING as distinct from starting in the production of life and its awnings. Excuses for thought fixations on different dimensions of life and matter, as if origins have to be self-contained in their outcomes, politicians had to be made by the laws they passed or cars by the parts they incorporate, or writing by the stroke marks they make, are becoming so saturated with shame as their confused lack of initiative and objectivity, reason and empirical confirmation that it is a wonder anyone even tries to put up with them. Hatred of God and his governance is the only feasible explanation of such delinquency relative to scientific method.
Following this realm of perspective, overview and emphasis, we add the Epilogue of The Original and Eventual Magnificence, because it tends to weave together the joint considerations of creation, predestination and divine initiative overall, enabling a broader understanding of many things in their places. In this respect, it is an important chapter.
CHAPTER 79
In this case, the major field is information, its meaning, essence, modality, origin, contrivances, background, labours, utilities and requirements.
Both the items are found in the volume 215, Now the Highway, Then the Heights.
Chapter 1 introduces some of the concepts, and
Chapter 3 pursues essences, utilities and purpose, labour with articulation and reticulation, and analysis of the components of information.
From Chapter 80, we come to Volume 7. See NOGOBOOK.
CHAPTER 80
The next two items are taken from The Way of Truth and the Way of Error, Chapter 8 and Appendix.
The Appendix is on the topic of time, seen in terms of the God of creation and institution of man, of imagination and brilliance, conception and survey, wisdom and truth, limitless and unique, source of all, directly or indirectly. Prophecy is seen within the dimensions of this feature, which includes Envisaged Time, Pondered Time, Real Time and the Texture of Time.
Ch. 8 surveys the scene of creativity, the creation of the universe, the reality and the modes of conception of the interface between the ending of this and the start of instituted time, at the physical and the connotational levels, and these in concert.
The third item in this Chapter
80, is found at
Logos Uncreated, Incorruptible, Inestimable
Ch. 4.
CREATION, DESIGN, PURPOSE,
EDUCATION AND ITS PURPOSE
AND THE FORGOTTEN STUDENT
The topic is origins and the coverage with
references is extensive and varied. As with the other chapters, it is also
discursive,
investigating common concepts and actualities together.
CHAPTER 81
The 'nothing' camp tries again. This presentation is found at:
Logos Uncreated, Incorruptible, Inestimable Ch. 6.
Its topic ?
It is this: Creation, creativity, modalities and messages, the full context and the replete revelation from God, millenia without change, but with applicabilities with changes in its target, man, some for the better, many for the worse: and the difference, a 'new creation' by the new Ministry of Jesus Christ, newly founding the old prediction, the Gospel of grace, now applicable direct.
CHAPTER 82
Here we move to the capture of human consciousness by manipulative mesmerism, and so proceed, with the use of a massive and prepared data bank, to consider this result, which led to perhaps 55 millions deaths. Evacuating all pretence of Hitler as an oddity in the organic evolutionary crowd of devotees, finding in him rather a speciallsed application. In fact, parallel to other tangents in Mao and Stalin, it is worthy of investigation in this aspect of implication.
We consider the disruption from this disabling theory which possessed them all. Instead of inane and irrational bifurcation, seeing double, as is the lot of many, passion as the cruel thumb of the layout of life, and compassion their preferred and contradictory contribution, you have a more consistent application of the irrationalism of the theory itself. It is just one form of reductio ab adsurdum.
The height of that absurdity, with even more tyranny already infesting 'democratic' education with a wantonry almost indescribable, is exposed further as a brazen world lurches further into the self-commanding abyss of desolatory judgment. It is almost as if free man wants to bind himself to the black hole follies of the dictators, by swallowing up light, empirically, logically, heuristically. There is an end.
This is found in Department of Bible and Spiritual Affairs Chs. 3 and 4.
CHAPTER 83
VIOLENCE, VILENESS
THE PLACE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN CREATION
AND VIGOUR IN ENVISIONMENT
1) In Department of Bible and Spiritual Affairs, Vol. 2, Ch. 8, we turn from the ruthless use of violence, as seen in Ch. 82 above; to the equally ruthless subversion of students; the poignancy of the partial enlightenment of Stephen Jay Gould of Harvard fame, amid the gloom of his enchainment despite certain key advances; to the associated study of academic entrepreneurship, when misled into suppositious and ridiculous presumptions about what is never found, not seen but given high poster exposure; while with this, moving into the explicit derogation of religious truth to be found in various outbursts of Gould, as if insatiable to avoid the result to which some of his work so pointedly directed thought, though the sometimes clearly expressed results were given a casuistical funeral.
2) In Department of Bible and Spiritual Affairs, Vol. 2, Epilogue, there is a large and wide-ranging review of many aspects of naturalism, supernaturalism, the Creator and creation, with special emphasis on the acute parallel of two cases.
One is that of Israel, immorally mugged and all but burned in effigy by tracts of humanity, despite divine warnings that divine discipline of that nation is not to be confused with international persecution, and that the results to come are explicit and vast, for not listening to this advice about what God has most clearly had to say from times of old on this topic. Here, a dénouement approaches.
The other element in the parallel is this: Just as Israel is treated to such exacerbated scorn, as a land in the Middle East, and as a nation, so is the Maker of all the lands of this earth, more and more scorned in His creation of the same, as of the universe itself. His ways are ignored, His curse despised, His salvation avoided on a growing internationally aggressive scale.
Creation, the Christian Church (not vague substitutes as in the II Peter 2:1 case) and Israel have become major topics for tension, assault, degradation, persecution whether in concept or in person, whether nationally, internationally or academically. The parallels are instructive, as for example, might be the case in comparing infectious diseases in cases where they are linked. The main part of this Chapter is in the realm of God and creation; but the parallel is pursued somewhat.
CHAPTER 84
CONSCIOUSNESS,
CONCEPTION, CREATION,
RECEPTION AND RECEPTACLES
Here we have a revised and extended Chapter from The Secular, the Sacred and the Sublime (Ch. 7), found in Department of Bible and Spiritual Affairs, Volume 3, Ch.2.
Dogs without exercise, are not well treated. The mind without exercise, sunk in subordination to cultural clamminess, continuity of tired old themes and naturalistic trances, far from possible truth, is a conveyor belt for the destruction of this world. It simply places man by his reckless and heedless imaginings, contrary to themselves and to reality, where destruction at last is the only way left (cf. II Thessalonians 2:4-10, Isaiah 57:15-16). Toying with truth and making friends with antinomies may be attractive, like a jitter-bug dance of yore, for built-up energy supplies; but truth is no toy, and its traction is inescapable. Mercy is far better and utterly necessary.
In addition, at this same Volume 3, at Chapter 6, there is a dialogue deliberately pursuing the definition of creation, its observation in practice in those criteria, the extent of it and the communality, the inevitability of the title and the assurance of the Worker, whose work is done at the natural level, for so long in type, and has come in the Gospel which completes the commencement in a new creativity and creation, of the utmost significance, the attainment of the ultimate, made available to mankind.
With these, in concordance and progression goes Volume 4 of the same series, Ch. 2, where the emptiness and failure in scope and resolving power, logical sufficiency and causal efficiency are found deadly flaws for all non-Christianity, to all without the Bible as the decisive doctrinal basis; and the creation at the first is seen as the prior step to the creation of man, of redemption, through the Gospel, with the creation of a new heart and life through it as the third, the making of a new spiritual creation in the recipient, who takes the redemption from death to his whole life, as attested in Christ's performance in covering sin to make peace available. The fourth is the coming confirmation of a new resurrected body with the fifth creation that of a new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness may dwell in the love of God. This resolves all problems of guilt, sin, freedom, heady determinism, empty voluntarism, human responsibility, divine rule and the origin of love in man, its necessity and its relative absence, leading naturally and observably to his own self-dismissal from this earth, except for that same Creator of all these things.
On the other hand, it leads, because of that same Creator from the first, from His divine goodness and glory, to human reconstitution in liberty, amid that glory, where those adopted as children of God find their home, in that very kingdom of which they were citizens on earth (Philippians 3:20-21), and where they now dwell, a whole articulation of creation, redeemed from curse, in a blessed, hallowed and joyful triumph, God's image restored - not destroyed - with a culmination of consignment past all hope and in the very annals of eternity.
When He comes, the problems, solved in principle and pardon, exhibition of power and of harmony of concept, in inner life and meaning for life, are now simply voided, for the rebellions have now gone to what they have desired, empty indeed, but empty head and empty heart being the alliance to fight God, despite His full heart and wonderful opportunity given, it gains its own place, like water... running down.
FANTASISING FACTS TO SURREALITY
Surveying fantasies and calling them to order, and restoring reality to its place is a worth-while task in the world domain of II Timothy 4:1-4. This exercise occurs in Department of Bible and Spiritual Affairs, Volume 4, Chapter 4, and is extensive (approx. 20, 000 words).
Department of Bible and Spiritual Affairs, Volume 4, Chapter 12, extends this treatment in a specialised area.
INFORMATION INVOLVES INFORMING WHICH REQUIRES MEANING AND ENTITIES SUITABLE TO DISPENSE AND RECEIVE THE SAME.
THE LIVING GOD IS NOT INCOMMUNICADO, BUT MADE THE MINDS TO MINT INFORMATION:
YOU CANNOT INFORM WITHOUT MEANING,
AND EVEN OUR BODIES LACK NEITHER OF THESE FEATURES.Both the above additions, Ch. 4 and Ch. 12 of Vol. 4 of Department of Bible ... deal somewhat extensively with INFORMATION.
For comparison on this topic, see Ch. 75 above, including reference to the volume,
NOT ONLY IS GOD GREAT, BUT GLORIOUS.
Ch. 5 is there cited, specialising on matters of information science, with extensive reference to Professor Werner Gitt's new volume, Without Excuse.
CHAPTER 86
Inter-relating Chapters on logical, empirical and philosophical elements in naturalism
and in various religions, with overview of basic approaches, are found in recent work.VOL 5 Thus, in Department of Biblical Affairs ... Volume 5, Chapter 6, we have an investigation into starting and stopping in the construction of the universe, into dream and reality, possibility, actuality rationality, into reason and revelation, fact and fancy, fiascos and foundations, truth and fiction, scientific method and pseudo-scientific fiction, the IF domain and the TEST domain, together with the underlying necessities and provisions, making revolt from the Lord, rationally inexcusable (cf. Romans 1:17ff.)
Like the DNA, the instruction not only for body-making, but for mind of man waking, is all given.VOL 4 It is noted that Volume 4, Chapter 2 of the Department ... sub-set, has rapport with this insofar as it deals with religions on the one hand, and naturalistic varieties on the other, in an overall perspective, that includes the nostrum of the Big Bang. These three chapters are in a close relationship.
VOL 6 of Department of Biblical Affairs, Chapter 4, deals with another cross-sectional analysis, namely the use of MODELS as modes of approach to issues, with emphasis on RESULTS, for comparison from each variety.
We are most familiar with this from climate modelling.
Each configuration, plan, type is isolable and specifiable with rigour, not confusion, as is common. The fallacious syndrome here is for critics of one model, perspective or approach to an issue, to set about rebuffing it by assuming their own as a basis, as they critique the other. But each exists in its own milieu and AS SUCH is subject to the common logic claimed. The point remains: how does EACH perform on its own basis, and what is the comparison in RESULTS? Re-statement is not argument. This morbid mix-up is too common for clear thought; and with multitudes of mankind almost routinely being activated by many motives, some internally incompatible, clarity is frequently the fall-guy for the dismal din of thoughtless drive. This Chapter is a basic one, and is named MODELS, MODES, MISCHIEFS AND MEDDLING.
Where logic is disdained, argument is disclaimed. Here its applicability is acclaimed.

TRY MAKING MAN
These two Chapters concentrate on realism versus surrealism. If your problem were to make man, how would you proceed ? what choices ? equipment ? agencies ? The issue is forced, the case is taken apart for the naturalistic model, step by step from such a perspective as the opposing models are compared in a constructive manner, in terms of facing a problem as something one had to solve, to make man. Dreams can occur at any time without anything needed for them, but life, sleep and imagination. This topic however is not to account for them, but for the universe.
VOL 9, of Department of Bible and Spiritual Affairs, Ch. 2. This is a brief review of important aspects of creation as such, of the Creator, of conditions for creation and creativity.
In the same volume, Ch. 6
Then we move to comparison of commands for creation and to creation, comparing with the nature of predestination in the summitry of God in every phase.
In this work, the realities of creation as distinct from the obfuscatory confusions of naturalism are faced, and compared with the equally clear dynamic, divine deposition of doctrine in the Bible, so that creation and predestination are seen together, both the work and the Performer of them, precise in both cases, the one BY command and the other WITH it, to mankind.
CHAPTER 89
Now we turn to analysis, synthesis and reality as a base for stimulation of thought and appreciation of resolution in approaching the universe logically and without a reductionist flight of fairy-tale fancy.
VOL 10, of Department of Bible and Spiritual Affairs, provides so far two Chapters, namely Ch. 10 and Ch. 12, concerning the considerations of creation, the dissolutions of confusion and the retreats from rationality, which attempts to avoid creation provide. It exposes the mutterings of magic and the operations of antithesis and antinomy avoided where alone this may be done validly, in facing the necessity of divine deposition of the universe. Without this, there is only the endless procession of the shimmering lines of endless mirages. For a time, it is worth looking at some of these.
Creation like happiness once present for a married couple, can become a sadness for the rebels from God and an arrow in the heart of those who want still to romanticise illicitly, and dream up without foundation, a universe even when fully mature. It is far better to follow the evidence, the method that is scientific, avoid the impasses and face reality with relish.
The same volume of DBSA has in Ch. 15, an investigation into the state, nature and function of the heart of man, and with this as an illustration of its condition, provides as an application, a brief, impactive exposure of the methods of blindness of heart, an increasingly clear pathology, when applied to the domain of science where it concerns - man! It is not merely a case of reductionism, but constructionism, except that in this case, it is only in the mind of man that this event occurs, all nature, wisdom and logic being in a triple alliance to the contrary. The observations used for the myth are all in the mind; and it is summed well by the reported record of Dawkins statement: Evolution has been observed, it is just that no one was there when it happened! That is precisely the position. It is observed, in fact, only in the mind of man. Its realm is psychology, not biology, dreams not data banks, preference, not performance. After all, man is under indictment from God (Romans 1-3), and people not willing to obtain pardon (Romans 5,8) have no sacrifice to cover them, and the loss of their own peace and place, to follow them (Proverbs 1, Titus 2:11-14, Ephesians 2:11-13, John 8:24).
