The God Ultimatum: Science Caves in to Evidence!

By Virginia Nolan

The God Ultimatum claims that the supernatural is not separate from science. Anyone can believe it by a simple process of logic. You dont have to be a doctor or a philosopher to get it either. But all who do will change.

The God Ultimatum answers the usual, mundane arguments against a supreme being, the accuracy of ancient written scrolls, and human immortality.

Motivational and challenging, this book will probably get you to a place where youve never been or considered before; but sooner or later, all of us must face the God ultimatum.

We must take care that we do not neglect heavenly monitions through fear of being considered visionary. We must not be staggered even by the dread of being styled fanatical or out of our minds. For to stifle a thought from God is no small sin.

Charles Spurgeon

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Acknowledgement must first go to the guiding principal which motivated me. I still find it difficult to accept this book was the result of my work alone, for I am no academic. So many abstract out-of-the-box concepts materialised quite spontaneously, which made me conclude another force was involved in these revelations.

Thanks to Barbara and Ludgera who, over the years, listened to me for hours and managed to stay awake when I shared my weird ideas. What patience has been given to you.

Acknowledgements to D A Cleland in New Zealand author of ‘Hold Your Horses’ for being a long distance encourager and to Gary and Ruth Hunt from Ireland for the lovely comments.

Thanks to John and Viv in Banbury. You always put me on a high pedestal I didn’t deserve. What an encouragement you were.

Great thanks to Marie from Scotland brought together by mutual neighbour in Spain, for unexpectedly sharing her remarkable otherworldly story with me.

Finally, acknowledgements to Xlibris Consultants Dexter and Ann not forgetting Xlibris Editors for professional expertise.

INTRODUCTION

Logical Truth

A logical truth is a statement which is true and remains true under all reinterpretations of its components… Wikipedia

The universal question: Is there a God? was impossible to answer in the past and for some, still is. Yet today there is a new emergence – that of educated people coming to a practical belief in the Almighty, using the evidence that science and logic presents.

‘The God Ultimatum is a practical book in its conclusions and gives the reader an opportunity to think outside the box. So maybe a lack of knowledge is the reason there are so many atheists today:

My people are destroyed through lack of knowledge Hosea 4:6

The time will arrive, when we all must contemplate the life we have lived, the decisions we have made, along with the failures and the triumphs. This book addresses our own immortality and how to be prepared for this.

No matter what our choices, good or bad, or whether we are prepared or not, sooner or later, the time will come when every one of us will have to face the The God Ultimatum.

PROGRESSION TOWARDS CLARITY

What we know is a drop, what we don’t know is an ocean.

Sir Isaac Newton

I pondered for a long time how to begin to tell you of the discoveries I made which brought me to the conclusions I’ve arrived at today. How do I begin sharing this with you? If I jump in at the deep end, you may find you are unable to connect the clues lying along the path. My logic had to be progression towards clarity, so that everyone could understand the clues. One step to a greater step. We’ll begin with an exercise in humility, that of assuming we know nothing of who we truly are, the nature of the universe and the quest for truth. Wiping our slate clean of assumptions is enough to humble us.

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance. Confucius

Is Most of the World Colour Blind?

Have you ever gazed through a glass prism and observed a myriad of spectral colours? Or observed the radiance of the sun piercing droplets of rain forming a rainbow? In a garden have you observed the flowers, noticing their subtle tones, or a meadow with shades of green, or the different hues of blue in the sky or ocean?

Sadly, some people are unable to experience these delights. In Britain alone it is estimated that 4.5% of the population are colour blind and only perceive distorted colour. Blue is brown, red is black, green is grey. In extreme cases they cannot see colour at all. The colour blind person is unable to go through life denying that true colours exist, simply by the overwhelming evidence that it does.

Now imagine a reversed world. In this alternative world, the perception of colour is the exact opposite, where it is the majority who are colour blind, not the minority. What if by choice, the minority were the only ones to see everything in true colour? It would be a wise person to choose the minority world.

Moulded by Traditions

Let’s take a look at how our thought processes are moulded by traditional beliefs. From birth, your opinions were handed down by your parents, family and peer groups rather than encyclopedias! Many were told that diamonds come from coal. Actually they come from the melting of rocks at the earth’s mantle. Maybe you were told the Great Wall of China was visible from space. Not true. Or that bulls hate red? - they are colour blind. Did Vikings wear horned helmets? No – they were invented for an opera. Bats are not blind – another myth. Christopher Columbus did not discover America. The native Americans, Russians, Vikings, Irish and the Chinese were the first. You believed all this by heresay.

Were you taught in school that mankind descended from an undiscovered species of ape in the ‘theory’ of evolution? Of course the word ‘theory’ means an assumption, not proven. However what has been proven is this:

Embryology provides no support for the evolutionary hypothesis. Now that the appearance of the embryo at all stages is known, the general feeling is one of disappointment; the human embryo at no stage is anthropoid (apelike) in appearance. Keith, 1932
