THE GENERAL PURPOSE OF THIS BOOK

The general purpose of this book is to build the minds of all Little Gods, who were created by God, who also created the universe. About 4.4 million years ago, Little Gods appeared on planet earth. Today, billions of Little Gods exist and have developed their minds after they found that God and the universe have no end. However, the minds of all Little Gods did not develop until counting tokens appeared about 9,000 years ago. Then, 5000 years later, the Little Gods added symbols to these tokens. These symbols were used in early texts and later in national languages, religious scriptures, scientific books, newspapers, etc. For the last 4000 years, many religious leaders were saying that the symbols in scriptures are sacred and are inspired by God. In 2006, I found that God is infinite and unlimited. Six years later, I found that symbols are finite and limited. These findings prove that scriptures cannot be sacred. I confirmed these findings with new research on Greek writings and the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament. In time, I expect all Little Gods to worship the same God. The purpose of my book is thus to bring all Little Gods together under one God.

George D. Shollenberger

I was born on June 26, 1929 in Pine Grove, PA, USA. At school, people, science, mathematics and basketball became my life and made me an honored basketball player. Basketball records also show that I entertained people when I bounced the basketball onto the floor and it went through the net for two points. In 1947, I completed high school. Since the Cold War was coming, I enlisted in the Army and became a radio technician in the Army Security Agency. After coming home in 1950, I began college at Gettysburg. Since my GI Bill of Rights was limited, I moved to Philadelphia to work and attend night school. In 1954, I moved to Baltimore to work at Lockheed Martin Corporation. There, I continued my night school at Johns Hopkins University and graduated as a scientist in electrical engineering. In Figure 3 (on p.148), a new mathematical system was taught for the first time at JHU. I was one of its students. This new mathematics allows an electrical engineer to unite AC and DC electricity. At Lockheed Martin, this new math could transform large analog circuits into very small digital circuits. With this ability, I transformed the old analog telemetry system into a digital telemetry system. This digital telemetry system went into a spacecraft that carried John Glenn in an orbit around planet earth. This was the first orbit of man. Like other systems, all digital systems must be protected against world noise. World noise exists because God created the universe by relating all created things functionally. After developing a digital telemetry system in the early 1960s, business and industry began to produce many new and different digital systems. In the 1980s, home computers appeared. In 2010, digital TV screens appeared. In 1971, I joined the U.S. Department of Justice to fight against crime. My first assignment took me to the White House. There, President Nixon wanted (1) to develop a 4-day work week; (2) increase the protein diet of all Americans with the increased production of pigs; and (3) develop the underground --- for all water flow, for all electricity flow, and for all industrial production flow. I was impressed. One of my advanced technology projects at Justice was the development of bullet-proof vests. These vests saved the lives of hundreds of police. As time passed, my mind moved toward God and higher levels of thought. Such thoughts would empty the U.S. prisons and fill the pews of religions. These higher levels of thought appeared after I rejected the belief that criminals are born. This false belief would support Darwin’s evolution theory. In time, I concluded that crime is caused by the flawed national language of every nation. In 1994, I retired. But my continued desire to penetrate ‘the unknown’ led me to deeper thoughts on God, the universe, and the human mind. In 2006, my first book proved scientifically that God exists. In 2012, in my second book, the thoughts of Jesus are rebuilt. This new research exposes many new truths about God, the universe, God’s Intelligent Design, and the life of humans.

Introduction

The General Purpose of This Book

The general purpose of this book is to build the minds of all Little Gods, who were created by God, who also created the universe.

About 4.4 million years ago, Little Gods appeared on planet earth. Today, billions of Little Gods exist and have developed their minds after they found that God and the universe have no end. However, the minds of all Little Gods did not develop until ‘counting tokens’ appeared about 9,000 years ago.

Then, 5000 years later, the Little Gods added symbols to these tokens. These symbols were used in early texts and later in national languages, religious scriptures, scientific books, newspapers, etc.For the last 4000 years, many religious leaders were saying that the symbols in scriptures are sacred and are inspired by God.

In 2006, I found that God is infinite and unlimited. Six years later, I found that symbols are finite and limited. These findings prove that scriptures cannot be sacred. I confirmed these findings with new research on Greek writings and the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament. In time, I expect all Little Gods to worship the same God. The purpose of my book is thus to bring all Little Gods together under one God.

A New God and Universe Are Revealed

In my earlier book, The First Scientific Proof of God, I prove scientifically that God exists. This proof was possible because my mind had risen above logical thinking where metaphysics goes to work and finds truths about God and the universe. But this book is not about metaphysics. It is about ‘big thinkers’ who were able to lift their minds upwardly towards God and find new truths about God and the universe These big thinkers seek true and false facts. One of these thinkers is a person that many people call Jesus.

When Jesus lifted his mind upwardly and beyond logic, he struck gold. He found a new God and a very complex universe. Since Jesus had to teach many new facts to many different people, he taught differently, moral facts to people and scientific facts to Gnostics. Unfortunately, some Jews rejected Jesus’ teaching and he was put to death on the Cross.

When Christians made the New Testament in the first century, some of Jesus’ verses were hard to interpret and understand. So, in the second century, in order to build Christianity, Bishop Irenaeus and other leaders interpreted all of Jesus’ teachings. This action was troublesome because some of Jesus’ scientific teachings were too difficult. Difficult examples are Matt. 5:19 (cosmology) and John 14:20 (functional relations). This book will reveal those teachings of Jesus that are still hidden.

A New and Modern Holy Bible Is Necesary

When a modern world appeared in the 15th century, new nations were formed, industries appeared, the United States was founded, and Americans went to the moon in the 1960s. And in 1945, Christian writings had been discovered in Egypt near the town of Nai Hammadi. These writings were produced after Jesus died and his disciples recorded his teachings. In time, these writings about Jesus led to debates between Christians, who thought that scriptures are sacred, and the Gnostics, who sought knowledge of God and the universe. Since Judaism developed as a religion based on the good/evil dualism, Christians also developed Christianity based on the good/evil dualism. In the second century Bishop Irenaeus stopped these debates and rejected Gnosticism.

Unfortunately, this early development of Christianity took place in the Roman Empire. There, the courts of Cicero would be governed by the logic of Aristotle. And the metaphysics of Jesus would be lost. By developing logical minds, Christians would turn away from the metaphysics of Jesus, who had taught self-knowledge and became a follower of Gnosticism. So, after the 2nd century, the heresies of Irenaeus turned Christianity into a highly confused religion.

Then, in the 15th century Nicholas of Cusa ended the Middle Ages and rebuilt the metaphysics of Jesus. Cusa rejected the logic of Aristotle because the Christian religion was floating on a boat without ‘oars of knowledge.’ Without oars of knowledge, Christianity could not develop any knowledge about God and His Universe. Christians had beliefs and faith. But they have no scientific proofs. Without scientific proofs, Christians would have to survive on a life of goods and evils, one life in the universe, and a life in God’s Heaven or Hell.

Today, science is proving that life continues after death in the universe and that heavens exist only in the universe. So we are stuck in the universe forever. So, what has been written in scriptures for thousands of years must be studied continuously. Establishing specific religions in any nation must be based on laws that have been proven scientifically.

As a scientist of Johns Hopkins University, I learned about the degeneration of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam during the Middle Ages, So, I decided to conduct more research. In 2006, I found the first scientific proof of God’s existence. Then, in 2012, I found the new relations between God and all things in the universe. These new relations are presented in ‘A New and Modern Holy Bible and the Intelligent Design of God. The new bible will bring very significant changes to human life as follows::

(1) God exists and is active and inactive;

(2) All religions have the same God

(3) God and all created things coexist in the same world;

(4) God and the universe are functionally related;

(5) Jesus is not the Son of God;

(6) All scriptures are books of knowledge;

(7) Human knowledge cannot be completed;

(8) Humans will always live on planets;

(9) All sensual data are symbolic;

(10) How Knowledge is produced with metaphysics.

Since this bible is new and modern, home owners might want to place this new bible next to your old bible, which is becoming outdated fast. There, in your living room, your children can learn many new facts and truths in the new bible. They can also compare the new bible with the old one. The life of my new bible will be longer than the life of the old bible because new knowledge is becoming harder and harder to find.

Christianity Has Scientific Problems

In 2006, I published the book, The First Scientific Proof of God. To prove that God exists, I looked into the evening sky and concluded that all finite things in the sky cannot come from another finite thing because a contradiction would be created. So, I concluded that all finite things come from an infinite thing. Since an infinite thing and any finite thing cannot be compared, I concluded that I have found God. My proof was correct because the Big Bang is finite and cannot be the cause of all finite things. Otherwise, a contradiction would exist. So, my proof says that God exists and is a creator. But I was unable to prove that God is eternal. Nor could I prove that finite things have a beginning and end.

In my search for more proofs about God and the universe, I focused my studies on theology, science, religion, morality, the Old and New Testaments, and the teachings of Jesus. I also studied the Nicene Creed of Christianity in 325 A.D. and concluded that its Filioque Clause is false. This Clause says: And I believe in the Holy Ghost, The Lord and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, Who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified. I found that this belief is not possible because (1) finite things cannot become an infinite thing and (2) an infinite thing cannot become a finite thing. Since the Filioque was false, I concluded that the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke might be filled with errors because they were students of Jesus.

I found that the Filioque Clause of 325 A.D. was corrected in the 15th century work of Bishop Nicholas of Cusa in his book On Learned Ignorance at Bk. I, Ch.8. The Clause in the Nicene Creed can be shortened to the statement ‘Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.’ Cusa corrects the Clause by saying that God is One, the Father. Then, Cusa says that equality of one is the Son and comes from the oneness of God Then, Cusa says that union proceeds from the oneness and equality of oneness. So, Cusa uses science to correct the Filioque Clause.

In 325 A.D., the different parts of the Filioque Clause were viewed as physical relationships. So, in 325 A.D. the Father and Son was viewed as a physically ‘One.’ And the Holy Spirit, which proceeds from the Father and Son, was viewed as a physical relationship. These two physical relationships led Christianity to degenerate mentally in the Middle Ages because many teachings of Jesus were not understood by Christians. Today, Christians still do not know that Jesus used the Greek symbol ‘in’ in order to functionally relate the Father, Son, and all humans. (See John 14:20) These functional relations are metaphysical and are not physical. The functional relations of Jesus at John 14:20 were never understood by Christians. Jews, and Muslims. So, debates with Gnostics, rather than the metaphysical thinking of Jesus, appeared in the first century and remained that way until the 15th century. All wars after the death of Jesus will never be reasoned by the metaphysics of Jesus.

Cusa found that God is the highest power because He unites all opposites. So, the concepts of One, Equality, and Union are really attributes of God. I capitalize concepts that belong to God. Thus, the opposing concepts —, many, inequalities, and relations — will appear in all finite things in the universe from God, who acts to create all finite things in the universe.

As time passed, I found another opposing pair of opposites that unites God to the universe. These concepts are Indivisible and divisible. This pair of opposites function differently. Indivisible is an attribute of God. But, before creating divisibles, God must contract His Indivisibility by plurality and finitude. This contraction causes a functional relations of three concepts — Indivisible, indivisibles, and divisibles. The Indivisible is an attribute of God whereas the indivisibles and divisibles are from God, who acts to create finite things in the universe. The indivisibles are immortal Spirits (or ‘Little Gods). They form the ‘dark matter of the universe. And the divisibles are mortal Spirit-Body things that appear as living and nonliving matter in the universe. When human dies, this person is reborn and receive a new body from a Father and Mother.

Galileo spoke of indivisibles in his Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences. Thus, he recognized the Spirits that God created. Galileo also spoke of bodies I conclude that Galileo’s bodies are the divisibles that I found. All of these divisible things are finite things that God creates to form the universe.

After publishing my scientific proofs in 2006, I continued my research on God and the universe on the Internet at http://georgeshollenberger.blogspot.com/. Since atheism was growing fast, atheists challenged my book. Atheists, physicists, and logicians said that my book is filled with non-sequiturs. Their challenges were trying to limit science to logic. So they tried to stop my work on metaphysics, my work to unify science and theology, my work on the human mind, and my work on cosmology. These atheistic challenges stopped after my book was reviewed favorably by Dr. Stephen Smith of the University of California in 2009.

Living in a Nation Under God

The U.S. Declaration of Independence says that God is. The U.S. Constitution says that the U.S. government must form a more perfect Union. This statement means that God is perfect. In the USA, the national language thus includes the word ‘God. The USA thus has a God, a perfect God, and a national language that promotes the development of knowledge about God and the universe.

However, many U.S. citizens misuse the national language of the USA. For instance, some U.S. citizens say that they do not believe in God. So, they say that they are absolutely free. As long as these few citizens remain within the laws of the USA, I see nothing wrong with them because learning is too difficult for some people. But, when atheists say that God does not exist, I say that they are violating the U.S. scientific laws because scientific proofs of non-existences are not possible. Accordingly, a major problem exists in all nations that accepts atheism.

Many scientists are atheists and have turned away from God, even though they cannot prove that God does not exist. These scientists say that truths come from facts that emerge from our five senses. Thus, these scientists avoid metaphysics even though metaphysical scientists are gaining new understandings of God every day. For instance, Sam Harris, the author of The End of Faith, started Project Reason and expects to build moral laws from evolutionary facts. I believe that this project is violating U.S. laws.

Fifteen Centuries of Poor Christian Leadership

In 1981, I became aware of a book that had been written in 1442 by Nicholas of Cusa in Italy. This book teaches Christians about the metaphysics of Jesus. It also tells us that human knowledge can never be completed. The title of this book is On Learned Ignorance. It was translated into English in the early years of the 20thcentury. But it had to be translated again in 1981 by Dr. Jasper Hopkins of the University of Minnesota. This book was unknown to Americans for over 500 years.

To help Americans understand Cusa and Jesus, I summarize this book in Part II. After Jasper Hopkins translated Cusa’ book On Learned Ignorance a new organization appeared. It was called the American Cusanus Society (ACS) and was founded in 1983. Its members are mostly catholic Christians. In general, Cusa’s book ended the Middle Ages, limits the logic of Aristotle, describes the metaphysics of Jesus, and replaces the good/evil dualism with the identity/difference dualism.

The ACS was aware of my book on ‘The First Scientific Proof of God.’ So, they asked me for a copy of my book because they wanted to review it. I gave them a copy and joined the ACS. But I never heard again from this organization.

Since my book challenges the Orthodox Christian churches, I did not expect a review frm this catholic organization. I am not only challenging the poor leadership of the Orthodox Christian church for fifteen centuries, I am also asking why Cusa’s book On Learned Ignorance was hidden from American Christians for five more centuries. I am also asking the Orthodox Catholic Church why it did not apologize for Galileo’s imprisonment until the 1990s and never accepted Galileo’s indivisibles that form all bodies in the universe.

My new book will explain why the Orthodox Catholic Church is lost and does not understand Jesus teachings of science at all.

The Metaphysics of Plato and Jesus

When one links two different concepts, one either creates ‘logical opposites’ or creates ‘metaphysical differences.’ Plato says that we can make metaphysical differences by negating them with the word ‘not.’ Plato teaches this method of thought in his Sophist Dialogue at 257b when he says, When we speak of ‘that which is not,’ it seems that we do not mean something contrary to what exists but only something that is different.

So I used Plato’s negation to prove scientifically the existence of God. In order to understand my use of Plato’s metaphysics, I turn my eyes upwardly and see the evening sky. There, I see lights and darkness and say that all things in the sky are finite. Since all finite things must have an origin, I say that the origin is a ‘not-finite’ thing, which is either a Big Bang thing or God. As time passed, ‘not-finite’ was shortened and was written as ‘infinite.’

The concepts finite and infinite coexist because all finite things originate from an infinite thing. The meanings of both concepts have never been defined because these two concepts cannot be compared.

Now, if the concept infinite is negated, our mind cannot return to finite because finite and infinite are not logically related. If we negate infinite, our mind turns upwardly and forms the concept ‘not-not-finite.’ There, we find God, who unites all finites and an infinite. Thus, the concept infinite is God but is only one attribute of God. Accordingly, I say that we can never know God completely because we cannot know all of God’s attributes. Thus, we say that we can only understand God.

The Difference Between Teachers and Students

On the subject of human life, two different teachings are possible.One teacher tells the students that they have only one life and can expect to go to Heaven or Hell after death. The other teacher tells students that they have an infinite number of lives in the universe. Since only one of these two teachings can be true, the true teacher is a real teacher who was an excellent student and became a real teacher.

At John 14:12, Jesus teaches people and say that they will do greater work after he dies. Thus, the teachings of Jesus is very different than the writings of his disciples: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, etc. The teachings of Jesus and the teachings of the disciples are very different because the disciples are students of Jesus and do not know immediately what Jesus is teaching about.

A very good student of Jesus was St. Paul. He was good because he was able to teach scientific evidence. For example, at Rom. 1:20. Paul knew that invisible things come from visible things. At Thess. 1 5:20, Paul taught people to search for prophesies.

When students are asked to prepare a report of the teachings of a teacher, the reports will not be perfect because the teacher is more intelligent than the students. So, the New Testament will be imperfect and will contain errors. Errors will also be found in the Old Testament. And, the Qur’an will also have errors for the same reason. When Muhammad died, a scripture, which was called the Qur’an, was made by the students of Muhammad and contained errors. Accordingly, every scripture has errors. Accordingly, no scripture is sacred. No scripture contains dictations of God. And, no scripture contains inspirations of God.

All scriptures are thus ‘books of knowledge.’ Since books of knowledge are not laws that govern people, only one ‘religious book of knowledge’ is necessary because only one God exists. It is thus time for people to develop one theory of God and one practicing religion.

God’s Wisdom VS. Human Knowledge

Again, Cusa tells us that God is beyond all opposites. Accordingly, God is ‘One’ and unifies all opposites. Jesus tells us that God’s wisdom is ‘absolute’ because God’s wisdom is both great and least. (See Matt. 5:19). On the other hand, human knowledge is ‘relative’ because our knowledge can never become the greatest knowledge or become the least knowledge. Human knowledge is thus (1) dynamic, (2) can never become maximum, and (3) can never become minimum. So, a scientist can never say that ‘0’ is a number. Also, a scientist cannot say that motions can be ‘o.’ Thus. all motions have a ‘principle of least action.’

Accordingly, human knowledge requires at least two different words in order to make a statement. Accordingly, the phrase ‘I Am’ is a statement about a human and is not a statement about God. Since human
