Before getting started, let’s review a few notes that are common to my writings…

*British spelling is often used, except for the quoted material, which normally employs U.S. spelling.

*Old Testament Scripture is normally taken from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE® (NASB), copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation. Used by permission.

*New Testament Scripture is normally taken from the Analytical-Literal Translation of the New Testament: Third Edition (ALT3). Copyright © 2007 by Gary F. Zeolla of Darkness to Light ministry. Previously copyrighted © 1999, 2001, 2005 by Gary Zeolla.

*The terms LORD, GOD, and Hashem are all ways to describe the personal name of God, also rendered as Yahweh or Jehovah.

*The ALT3 distinguishes between singular and plural second-person pronouns by means of an asterisk (*).

*Divine pronouns are normally not capitalized, unless they appear that way in Bible versions or other quotes.

*As a general rule, words that appear in brackets within quotes are not found in the original texts, and were added by the translators or are my personal comments, etc.

*This writing features an excursus, originally published by me under the title, Betty Hill and Harvard.

I. The Art of Prediction

There are only so many worldviews out there. If you reject an epistemology based upon the Bible (or more broadly, any Judeo-Christian-Islamic canon), there are only so many paths you can take.

Everyone’s a doctrinaire; only, not everyone realizes it.

Someone may even proclaim truculently, I’m not a doctrinaire! I don’t need to be an originalist! I don’t need written documents! I can make thoughtful, objective decisions, if and when occasions arise. That sounds heady and idealistic; yet making such assertions doesn’t mean that you’ve actually moved beyond holding fast to a tight, predictable doctrine/guiding philosophy.

In fact, a diligent researcher could probably come up with a simple set of a few dozen questions and—based upon the respondent’s answers—predict thereby just about every single response to every single subsequent situation (whether real or hypothetical). The only impasse is thus: what should the few dozen initial questions consist of?

It would have to be a cascading series, able to meet very different needs. For example, surely a belief in God should make the list. If you believe in God, there are several other questions that must be asked as a consequence. Is this God omnipotent? Do you think he’s judging you?

Or, if you answer no to a belief in God, the subsequent questions would have to change. Perhaps the next inquiries would be something like, Do you believe in reincarnation—or any other afterlife consequences for present actions? Do you believe people and animals are of equal worth? Etc. etc.

It would make for a fascinating scientific game. The goal would be to find the smallest number of worldview questions in order to predict most accurately the answer to subsequent situational scenarios. E.g., if you found out that a person
