The War Against Truth

By Chad Clawitter

The War Against Truth is a book that exposes the subtle and covert tactics political corruption uses as it attempts to suppress the truth. The War Against Truth is a book that was written while the author was teaching high school physics in Los Angeles when he often listened to the radio program "The Frank Pastore Show" on KKLA (the intersection of faith and reason) during his 2 hour commute.

I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.Joel 2:32“And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the LordWill be delivered;For on Mount Zion and in JerusalemThere will be those who escape,As the Lord has said,Even among the survivors whom the Lord calls.Isaiah 54:17“No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the Lord.Micah 5:2“But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,Too little to be among the clans of Judah,From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel.His goings forth are from long ago,From the days of eternity.”Matthew 4:10-11Then Jesus said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.’” 11 Then the devil left Him; and behold, angels came and began to minister to Him.1 John 5:19We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.John 8:58Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.”John 1:1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.John 5:39You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;The Bible is the biography of Jesus Christ. It tells the origin of the Jewish people, the multiple failed-attempts of the Enemy to destroy the Jewish people, the conception of Jesus Christ by a virgin Jewish woman via the Holy Spirit, and the life, ministry, death, resurrection, and prophesized, past, present, and future destiny of Jesus Christ.-The Teacher, the Terrorists and the Temporal War, Chad Joseph ClawitterJohn 21:24-25This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.Matthew 18:7“Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!2 Corinthians 11:14-15And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light. 15 So it is not strange that his ministers also masquerade as ministers of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.Ephesians 5:11Take no part in the fruitless works of darkness; rather expose them.Jude 1:9But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”John 5:43I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.2 Thessalonians 2:8Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;2 Peter 3:10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.Matthew 7:21-23“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’Matthew 12:30He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters.John 10:27-30My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28 and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”Romans 10:9that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;Ephesians 1:5-14He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight 9 He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him 10 with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him 11 also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, 12 to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory. 13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.Mark 12:29-31Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord; 30 and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”Deuteronomy 5:7-217 ‘You shall have no other gods before Me.8 ‘You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. 9 You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, 10 but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.11 ‘You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.12 ‘Observe the sabbath day to keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. 13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter or your male servant or your female servant or your ox or your donkey or any of your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you, so that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you. 15 You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord your God commanded you to observe the sabbath day.16 ‘Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, that your days may be prolonged and that it may go well with you on the land which the Lord your God gives you.17 ‘You shall not murder.18 ‘You shall not commit adultery.19 ‘You shall not steal.20 ‘You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.21 ‘You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, and you shall not desire your neighbor’s house, his field or his male servant or his female servant, his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.’Genesis 1:26-29Then God said, “Let US make man in OUR image, according to OUR likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you;Genesis 9:3-4Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant. 4 Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.Acts 10:14-15But Peter said, “By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean.” 15 Again a voice came to him a second time, “What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.”Acts 21:25But concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we wrote, having decided that they should abstain from meat sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication.”1 Corinthians 10:25-28Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions for conscience’ sake; 26 for the earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains. 27 If one of the unbelievers invites you and you want to go, eat anything that is set before you without asking questions for conscience’ sake. 28 But if anyone says to you, “This is meat sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience’ sake;Matthew 15:18-19But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders.Matthew 19:4-64 And He answered and said, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”1 Corinthians 7:8-15But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I. 9 But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.10 But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband 11 (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife.12 But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13 And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not send her husband away. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. 15 Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace.Ephesians 5:25-33Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, 26 so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. 28 So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; 29 for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, 30 because we are members of His body. 31 For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. 32 This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.John 8:10-11Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more.”1 Timothy 3:2-7An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money. 4 He must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with all dignity 5 (but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?), 6 and not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil. 7 And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he will not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.1 Corinthians 9:5Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?Galatians 1:8But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!Matthew 23:9Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.Luke 11:27-28While Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed.” 28 But He said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.”Matthew 1:25but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.Matthew 13:55-57Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56 And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” 57 And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.”Luke 7:23Blessed is he who does not take offense at Me.1 Timothy 4:1-3But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, 3 men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.Romans 14:5One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.Psalm 37:15Their sword will enter their own heart,And their bows will be broken.Esther 7:10So they hanged Haman on the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai, and the king’s anger subsided.Revelation 12:10Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night.Daniel 7:27Then the sovereignty, the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him.1 Timothy 6:8If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content.Hebrews 13:5Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,”1 Corinthians 10:13No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.1 Corinthians 2:9-10But as it is written:“What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard,and what has not entered the human heart,what God has prepared for those who love him,”10 this God has revealed to us through the Spirit.For the Spirit scrutinizes everything, even the depths of God.Jeremiah 31:33-34“But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”John 4:25-26The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us.” 26 Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”John 14:6-15Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.”John 16:8-11And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; 11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.Matthew 25:41“Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;Revelation 20:10And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.Matthew 15:27But she said, “Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”Jonah 3:9Who knows, God may turn and relent and withdraw His burning anger so that we will not perish.1 Kings 3:5In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream at night; and God said, “Ask what you wish Me to give you.”Malachi 4:6He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse.Romans 8:28And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.Isaiah 46:11Calling a bird of prey from the east,The man of My purpose from a far country.Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass.I have planned it, surely I will do it.Matthew 11:6And blessed is he who does not take offense at Me.Romans 2:11For there is no partiality with God.John 16:33These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.Matthew 5:45so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.Revelation 21:1-2Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.

PART I: INVESTIGATING TRUTH

Chapter 1: The Process of Genuine Scientific Investigation

Genuine science is like infants or toddlers exploring their surroundings using their mouths, hands, eyes, and ears. Genuine science is like a child who repeatedly asks why? until the parent finally responds with foundational truth or changes the subject. Genuine science is like a person buying a home who investigates the foundation of the property.

Genuine science is natural investigation. Genuine science is a process of prediction, experimental test, and interpretation.

(1) Genuine scientists predict the outcomes to real situations that are significant and testable. (2) Genuine scientists test their predictions using valid experiments that can be repeated and objectively verified. (3) Genuine scientists interpret the actual results of experiments using objective facts and evidence.

What do you think makes genuine science different than mathematics and philosophy? How do you think genuine science has benefited society? What do you think might prevent genuine science from being practiced by scientists or taught in schools?

Artificial science is like a magician who does not share the secrets to the illusion. Artificial science is like a philosopher or mathematician pretending to be a scientist. Artificial science is like a Ponzi scheme that may not be prosecuted until the creator has long been dead.

Artificial science is retrospective justification. Artificial science is a process of imagination, rationalization, and speculation.

(1) Artificial scientists predict the outcomes to situations that are theoretical and not testable. (2) Artificial scientists rationalize their predictions using invalid experiments that are unverifiable or subjectively calibrated. (3) Artificial scientists speculate using selective evidence and unverifiable assumptions.

Is artificial science a forward progression or a backward regression from genuine science? What are the consequences of replacing genuine science with artificial science? Why would some scientists practice artificial science and claim that it is genuine science?

Genuine science is like a group of generals debating a military strategy; artificial science is like a group of artists critiquing a poetry contest. Genuine science is like a health nutritionist; artificial science is like a fashion designer.

The fundamental principle of genuine science is that truth is objective, supreme, and firm. (1) Logic obtains its authority from reality; reality does not obtain its authority from logic. (2) Reality has supremacy over logic; logic does not generate reality but is a tool for understanding reality. (3) Our assumptions should be conformed to match reality; we should never demand that reality must conform to our assumptions.

The fundamental principle of artificial science is that the intelligence of experts is infallible, supreme, and authoritative. (1) Reality obtains its existence from the logical consistency; reality never conflicts with intelligence. (2) Intelligence has supremacy of reality; intelligence discovers and creates reality. (3) Our reality should be conformed to match the assumptions of intelligent experts; the assumptions of intelligent experts must be true if they are logically consistent.

Is the role of a scientist to investigate how reality actually is or is the role of a scientist to debate whose speculation seems most intelligent? Is it possible for an intelligent expert to say something logically consistent that is completely false?

Genuine science is like a ruler who benevolently abdicates power to leave a legacy of peaceful transition. Artificial science is like a tyrannical dictator who grabs for more power just to remain in power for selfish advantage.

The fundamental purpose of genuine science is to produce knowledge that is both honest and beneficial. (1) Knowledge resulting from genuine science should be broadcast honestly for the accessibility of objective evidence, transparent interpretations, and genuine methods. (2) Knowledge resulting from genuine science should be applied beneficially for the protection of human life and the advancement of human dignity.

The fundamental purpose of artificial science is to produce knowledge that appears to be prestigious and potentially profitable. (1) Knowledge resulting from artificial science should be broadcast for maximum complexity, abstraction, and sophisticated terminology to make it seem intelligent and important. (2) Knowledge resulting from artificial science should be applied toward advertising and fundraising to support artificial scientists.

Is the purpose of humanity to benefit science or is the purpose of science to benefit humanity? Is the purpose of mathematics and language to more easily communicate knowledge or is the purpose of knowledge to develop more complicated mathematics and language?

Dishonest scientists are like a scoundrel who commits a crime and frames the victim for it before it can be reported. Dishonest scientists are like a villain advisor who feeds a ruler misinformation for his own personal advantage. Honest scientists are like a loyal friend who cannot be bribed by any amount. Honest scientists are like objective advisors who merely inform the ruler of the consequences for each course of action and let the ruler decide. Dishonest scientists are like compromised advisors who use deception, force, and fear to coerce the ruler.

(1) Dishonest scientists decree that their unverified assumptions are scientific facts. (2) Dishonest scientists censure the rival set of assumptions that is consistent with the objective facts. (3) Dishonest scientists ignore or trivialize when their false set of assumptions logically implies inaccurate predictions. (4) Dishonest scientists defame the rival set of assumptions that does logically imply accurate predictions. (5) Dishonest scientists negligently use invalid measurements that came from devices that were inapplicable, defective, misread. (6) Dishonest scientists fabricate experimental results by replacing measurements with false information that did not come from a measurement device. (7) Dishonest scientists misinterpret the experimental results by overlooking other relevant objective facts or using a biased calibration. (8) Dishonest scientists commit partiality by disregarding the rival interpretation that is also consistent with all the objective facts.

(1) Honest scientists distinguish between unverified assumptions and scientific facts. (2) Honest scientists tolerate rival sets of assumptions that are also consistent with the objective facts. (3) Honest scientists scrutinize and replace their false set of assumptions when it logically implies inaccurate predictions. (4) Honest scientists permit rival sets of assumptions that also logically imply accurate predictions. (5) Honest scientists responsibly use valid measurements that come from devices that are applicable, functional, and carefully read. (6)Honest scientists use a variety of repeatable experiments to cross-examine their experimental results. (7) Honest scientists accurately interpret experimental results using all the available evidence and relevant objective facts. (8) Honest scientists acknowledge when there is a rival interpretation that is also consistent with all the objective facts.

Are there signs that indicate scientists are being dishonest even if you do not know the details of their work? When new reliable evidence conflicts with a theory, should scientists become more certain of that theory or less certain? Do you think that clarity and transparency are a high priority for dishonest scientists? Does it impress you when scientist use words you do not understand? Do you think that scientists lack the intelligence or honesty to translate their work for other people to understand and apply it? Do you think that scientists’ work would be more valuable if more people could understand it and apply it?

A universe without fundamental conditions is like a computer with no keyboard and no mouse. A universe without free-will is like a scientist trapped in a prison cell unable to use his or her knowledge to change anything.

Fundamental conditions are conditions that are not caused by previous conditions in the universe. Fundamental conditions cannot be predicted in advance, but their effects can be measured in retrospect. There are three types of fundamental conditions, which are initial conditions, boundary conditions, and quantum conditions.

(1) Initial Conditions are the fundamental conditions that occurred at the beginning of the universe. (2) Boundary Conditions are the fundamental conditions that continue to occur at the edge of the visible universe. (3) Quantum Conditions are the fundamental conditions that continue to occur freely at the atomic level.

Theists often believe that the fundamental conditions are determined by the influence of the eternal kingdom on the natural universe. Naturalists often believe that the fundamental conditions are determined by an infinite chain of universes with ultimately no cause.

The laws of physics are like the rules of a chess game, but the fundamental conditions are like how the pieces on the board are set up and which choices the players make. Why are fundamental conditions not the same thing as the laws of physics? Why is it impossible to measure the cause of the fundamental conditions by definition? Why will the cause of the fundamental conditions of the universe forever remain a mystery to genuine science? Why would someone try to misrepresent their unmeasurable philosophy as science?

Chapter 2: The Methods of Investigation

The inductive method of investigation is like using the magnets you already have to find a
