Introduction to this window ...
Time, Truth, and Perspective are elements that fill and complete the window's unique vantage point.
Window View - Building a new paradigm based on Science and Scripture
<< Follow the links on the left side menu. Start pages give a brief overview, main pages lead to substance along with lists of articles, and finally these are a foundation to the paradigm which is the summary piece of the window.

Welcome to WindowView
A number of our visitors say
”Wow, there’s a lot of information in the Window … !!!
Maybe IT looks a bit overwhelming at first …
So HOW about a short introduction …
I’ll make this brief … I won’t HARP on the details
---------------------------------------------------------------
First, let me say the window is a METAPHOR for looking at life.
A window can HAVE many separate panes of glass
… ALL joined into a larger frame …
and here we think of each pane as topic area …
each a separate vantage point …
all together MULTIPLE perspectives help to frame the big picture.
====================================
Also, you may find other information to bring into the window’s view.
The idea here is to de-rive your own window view.
And the Window is …
“Building a new paradigm based on science and Scripture.”
The VIEW … a look here … supports the notion that scientific evidence and information in Scripture all contribute to a big picture.
This tells us about life … and more … it tells us where we are headed in time !
Looking through the window is a look to the future!
====================================
Perhaps you think science and Scripture have little in common …
We are NOT saying these are the SAME thing …
IN fact, different perspectives CONVERGE within the window to support the paradigm.
And a paradigm is simply a working model …
IN this case … the window IS a place to examine a purpose to our being here …
The paradigm is a model for life.
If we are truly NOT here by chance or random events,
Then this leads us to consider LIFE with a purpose.
In this way, the paradigm points forward to the FUTURE with a purpose.
====================================
There are THREE main topic areas… we call these
-- Science
-- Change
-- Harmony
And … ONE additional area is the WINDOW’s TimeLine
These four areas make up the larger window
-------------------
There are more detailed introductions to each area …
just follow the menus and you’ll first find a general introduction …
Further, ALSO by way of Introduction …
each area has a THESIS page providing more specific details.
====================================
The Science area contains articles, questions, and
evidence that is essential to move us to one
conclusion above all others …
the DATA say life is not by chance …
And if NOT by chance,
then there is really something very special …
EVEN extra-ordinary about being alive!
The data from science and NOT scientists …
is what is key here …
the evidence leads us to such a conclusion …
BUT then where else does this conclusion let us go … and so we can look further into the window’s view ! ! !
==========
The Change area takes a brief glimpse at a particular VANTAGE point concerning all the global changes humans see today.
It’s not about the incredible alteration of climate or consumption of earth resources … yes these are important issues … but here…
THE point we are making concerns human life and how humanity will respond or fails to respond to changes … THIS is the big clue.
In fact, are humans responding?
Globally?
Are we collectively capable of doing that?
Where and how much cooperation is there?
Again, if life is not merely some product of material forces,
then change and how humanity, corporately,
all together … responds to change
is an important clue to how humans value life now and how they see the future … the Window is ABOUT the future!
====================================
Harmony … well … the motto here is a paradigm based on science and Scripture.
The harmony area looks at ancient information and a unity of what Scripture tells us
about being human …
and ALSO about the future.
This area brings together two unique people groups
SO … what’s that all ABOUT???
AND The information here may be a bit of a surprise to you
because it’s NOT new, but seeing how the data fit, so to speak, is critical…
But the product of looking at science, observations concerning change and humanity’s response, plus the scriptural insights …
This makes for a Harmony in Scripture and in the entire Window
AND all this charts a path forward in time.
In fact, Scripture tells us what to expect next … are we listening? Have you read the details?
==================
The window’s timeline covers the entire span of Eternity Past to Eternity Future.
Two tracks of events are charted here … take a look.
If you explore the Window overall … then you will see how the last segment of the timeline works …
this tells us WHAT is just ahead of us
And to step forward into the future requires a
Step Up To Life …
and that step up is the whole reason for time at this window …
WE hope you’ll explore and find what the future holds for humanity …
THIS takes a bit of thought, but then doing so gives you a purpose for your being here!
Explore, THINK, and Welcome to the Window! !!
"Science without religion is lame,
religion without science is blind."
- Albert Einstein
"A man once told me: "You can't use science to prove God." But then science and nature are a witness to the handy work of some Creator. Why think so? Who or what is the designer? Well, we have evidence from science for design in the universe, in our galaxy, in life on Earth, so we may be shocked to realize, in a fashion, science is about the business of a natural revelation. Ask Newton, Kepler, or Copernicus! Beyond nature, there is a personal revelation ... another revelation to the divine that is a foundation to faith ... time at the window brings each of us to the point of valuing life as having a purpose and this is our personal experience." - Director, WindowView
