Book Review – First Look at Meyer’s Newest Writing

For those persons who are skeptical of looking at a combination of perspectives that pull together data from science discoveries and possible theistic implications, then avoiding Dr. Meyer’s book “The Return of the God Hypothesis” might make sense. A word of caution, don’t let the book title throw you toward avoidance … the writing is science, philosophy, history, discoveries and much much more!

But … avoidance comes with missing an exceptional opportunity to experience a well written text. This book is addressing much of what science reveals in a way that gently explains certain technical perspectives … but more than that … the book lays out a story of science discoveries along time. The scientists deal with certain possible approaches to expanding our human understanding of the universe, the earth, life, and what explains our existence is really is the core of what this book does best.

Further, each explanation given in the book examines multiple sides of any evidence humanity has derived over time. Seeing what works and how information, data, and our understanding from our material existence of what may ultimately explain our conscious mindful understanding beyond the material existence is exactly why you will benefit from reading this book.

If you believe your life is simply a result of natural forces and chance … you need to read this book. If you believe theistic writings alone explain why you live, then you can expand your awareness of the specificity and complexity of nature that points to the source of your life. Simply put, so many people just haven’t really experienced such a well thought out set of considerations, data, and evidence as presented by Dr. Meyer. The book is easy to read and incredible in the ultimate implications as to who you really are! And that is worth knowing!

Who Is Objective About This Life

Bottom line up front: Scroll down this blog and you’ll find two books recommended, one by Dr. Hedin and the other by Dr. Meyer. Read one or both and your life and perspectives on who you really are may be dramatically clarified and make for life changing evidence–your WindowView perspectives may well lead to awesome wonder. And this is a statement made by a PhD scientist who is writing up entires for this blog! [book links are provided at each blog post below]

DATA IS VITAL: At the WindowView home page there is reference to a model with four compartments that hold data for Science, History, Theology, and combined Archeology plus Paleontology. The key to understanding the illustration is that each compartment holds information. But data if objective is not based on bias, interpretation, opinion, political influence, or worldview. Data does not matter where you are on this planet–what matters is finding the origin of your life. WindowView is about perspectives and thus data if collected in legitimate and good fashion becomes solid evidence for something. Follow the evidence where it leads!

SOURCES OF DATA: Science data is not to be confused with ‘scientists’ who sometimes say things beyond what the evidence supports, NOR theology data is to be tied to ‘theologians’ who make their commentaries, which may or may not be appropriate. If you are objective, then you keep asking: What is the core information here in scientific results to studies or what is the primary set of key points that are the core data of biblical writings (and by this we mean Scripture in the Bible, both original Hebrew and Greek texts).

Both recommended books review some history to science, developments that help illustrate what science data has been gathered as well as logic and reason to a theistic perspective on your life’s origin. You may be surprised that it is information and mind that makes for an origin. We live on a special planet, in a special universe, and have been given texts that project guidance for human life … but more than guidance, the theological data reveal a timeline of events past, present, and yet to come. Once you grasp the specifics from what science data really tell us about our complexity and specificity to being alive … that alone begs a shift in our understanding of life now and going forward. So then the scriptural timeline is supported by specific data in the Hebrew and Greeks texts–that at first may seem far fetched–become much more reason-able.

If you are truly objective, you will have no problems reading either the book by Dr. Hedin or D. Meyer … both point to intelligence, special conditions, and reasons to think life really is special.

April 2021 New Book – A Must Read

For those who have read other books by Dr. Meyer, you already know how careful, well researched, and a good read his presentations have been … this book is no less important, valuable, and of sound mind. Full description at book sales website appears below …

The New York Times bestselling author of Darwin’s Doubt presents groundbreaking scientific evidence of the existence of God, based on breakthroughs in physics, cosmology, and biology. The book Return of the God Hypothesis goes a bit further than Darwin to bring together science evidence on one hand and an assessment of the beast theological perspective! Read and you will see the big picture!

Beginning in the late 19th century, many intellectuals began to insist that scientific knowledge conflicts with traditional theistic belief—that science and belief in God are “at war.” Philosopher of science Stephen Meyer challenges this view by examining three scientific discoveries with decidedly theistic implications. Building on the case for the intelligent design of life that he developed in Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt, Meyer demonstrates how discoveries in cosmology and physics coupled with those in biology help to establish the identity of the designing intelligence behind life and the universe. 

Meyer argues that theism — with its affirmation of a transcendent, intelligent and active creator — best explains the evidence we have concerning biological and cosmological origins. Previously Meyer refrained from attempting to answer questions about “who” might have designed life. Now he provides an evidence-based answer to perhaps the ultimate mystery of the universe. In so doing, he reveals a stunning conclusion: the data support not just the existence of an intelligent designer of some kind—but the existence of a personal God. 

Hope the above information is helpful … click on the image above or here to see the book for purchase.

Isaiah 53 As A New Song

In a previous post you were able to connect to a WindowView.org web page that provides access to understanding the importance of the verses in Isaiah 53. The prophet is essentially letting all Israel know who the Messiah is … His identity is unmistakable and the prophet’s words were written hundreds of years before Yeshua appeared to Israel. As then and as is now, these words are a key that unlocks so much of what else Scripture. has to tell us.

Today we received an email from Joshua Aaron that included a link to his friend’s new song … the song is based on Isaiah 53, sung by Aaron Shust and accompanied by Shai Sol.

Click on the image below to be taken to YouTube to hear the song!

The Prophet Identifies Messiah

Every year Israel celebrates Passover. Each year during the Pesach seder there is a moment when the matzah is broken and the Cup of Redemption is lifted to drink wine. This breaking of bread and drinking of the cup was a new adjustment to the Pesach tradition and seems to correspond with who the Jewish Messiah is. So, who is that?

Of whom does the prophet Isaiah speak?

To read about the prophet Isaiah’s exact words that align closely with the true identity of the Jewish Messiah, we recommend a visit to windowview.org/wanted/j.html. See the web page and read the WANTED poster and get the REWARD!

In a world of increasing chaos and confusion, peace is to be found in Messiah–for Jew and Gentile alike, this one identity rises in importance above all else.

Boundary to Science?

What is your existence? What if you could sit in a class and just have a wide open discussion on science and see many avenues of thought open up … even leading to concepts you’d never really given much serious thought … AND then your thinking expands and the discussion is so amazing and engaging? Would you want to explore concepts that lead you to think of why or what is existence?

We strongly recommend a new book that tells a story about a college class and the classroom open ended teachings that expand the view and open to ideas and perspectives that do entertain existence in a freely open discussion!

CANCELED SCIENCE by Eric Hedin

From the book listing at Amazon:

Eric Hedin was enjoying a productive career as a physics professor at Ball State University when the letter from a militant atheist arrived and all hell broke loose. The conflict spilled first onto the pages of the local newspaper, and then into the national news. The atheist attack included threats from the Freedom from Religion Foundation, which targeted Hedin after learning his Boundaries of Science course exposed students to an evidence-based case for design and purpose in cosmology, physics, and biochemistry. Canceled Science tells the dramatic story of the atheist campaign to cancel Hedin’s course, reveals the evidence the atheists tried to bury, and explores discoveries that have revolutionized our understanding of the nature and origin of matter, space, and even time itself.

The book cover is below and you can order HERE on the internet.

MARS – NASA Rover – CAUTION

History in the making comes as the NASA Martian rover, Perseverance, landed on Mars February 18, 2021.

So many people are wondering, will the rover’s instruments finally find evidence for life on Mars (be it in the past or living today). One would fully expect a rapid conclusion that such evidence is proof of Darwin’s theory on evolution.

CAUTION: Any evidence for life on Mars is possible, but the conclusion regarding evolution and life elsewhere in the universe is not only premature, but could very easily be false and totally misleading.

Persons with a material naturalism perspective have no expectation for anything but ‘nature’ to explain life. However, life contains information that is far superior to any chance origin. In fact,. highly specific and complex information supports the concept of Intelligent Design. And design certainly provides a viable explanation for life created life on Earth.

And microbes adapted to Earth’s extreme environments (e.g., in and near a volcano as one example, where there is extreme heat) could be ejected by volcanic eruption on Earth and that ejecta could travel from Earth to Mars and thus seeding life on Mars. But truth be told, rock from Mars comes to Earth as meteorites and ejecta from Earth likewise travels to Mars.

The WindowView page regarding life on Mars has been posted for well over a decade. Evidence for design has only increased. We recommend the following pages for your reading and review:

Humans Are Robots by Design

NEW CONTENT – SIGNIFICANT ARTICLES ADDED FEBRUARY 2021

Two interrelated articles are now posted to Windowview.org, these are:

1) Human Beings Are Carbon-Based Robots 

2) Proteins Are Machine Tools by Design

In a previous entry here at WindowView Press there is reference to new content being added and two articles (titles above, are linked to respective pages) are critical to being awakened to scientific evidence and perspectives about our human existence and our life’s origin. These articles are not the only evidence for our design and design in nature, but a reading offers a significant set of points to bring home that your life is not by chance. And if there is evidence of design in nature, then the obvious question is who or what is the Designer. WindowView is here in defense of a position that there is a harmony from science to Scripture and it takes an integration of fact, data and real evidence to illustrate this point–this helps immensely in leading to the answer concerning the identity of the Designer.

Many visitors to WindowView arrive at one page, read and review what is there, and then often times pop off to read other web content. Before you read and then just exit the window, take a moment to consider the introductory, overview, and thesis pages in the Science, Change, and Harmony areas. Time exploring here potentially offers a change to your former thinking, adds new perspectives to current thinking, and ultimately brings you to a conclusion that saves a life–specifically: your life!

Climate Change Thru Time

Soon the Change Area of Windowview.org will add more perspectives on climate change. As always, the WindowView concept of multiple perspectives would rather relate the keyword ‘global’ to change because weather and climate are only part of the big picture. Because the ‘window’ includes both scientific and theological perspectives, it takes your open mind to incorporate a “science-plus-Scripture big brush” that paints the global picture for what we can see for life on Earth, now and what is yet to come (as written in the ancient biblical texts).

A good place to see a more objective handling of he climate change issue with astronomy, planet science, as well as climate issues is presented in a recent book published by Dr. Hugh Ross. The only way to really understand a broader view on climate change, with added and very interesting additional perspectives, is to read the following book (to obtain a copy click on link below):

Weathering Climate Change – A Fresh Approach

What you will find includes details and considerations that are skipped by climate deniers, certain politicians, skeptics, particular business persons and others who just want go with personal bias or a skewed agenda. The subtitle includes fresh approach and this will have you take a step back to really look at a much larger picture and see some very interesting factors that are rarely addressed by the media or specialized information outlets. Even if you don’t agree, this review is comprehensive and deserves a respectful reading!

Messiah in Tanach

WindowView includes several perspectives that when added together compose a ‘big picture’ relating to true information from science to Scripture. Yes, one needs to acknowledge that there are many opinions and interpretations that can distract from truth, but please consider the following scriptural insight because a key reason for looking through the ‘window’ is that your eternal destiny is really the main focus.

FACT: the Hebrew Scriptures do include information that identifies the Jewish Messiah. Yes, that is information each Jewish person needs to know–but many do not read their own Scriptures–and thus something of vital importance is being missed.

FACT: many gentile readers of the Bible have not recognized the numerous places where the Jewish Messiah is identified even before reading the Greek text (i.e., New Covenant). And if more Jewish readers saw what was in the Tanach (i.e., Hebrew Bible), then what is written in the Greek would make huge impacts on the Jewish peoples and all Israel!

There is a website that currently lists each letter in the Hebrew alphabet with a link to Scripture that identifies the Jewish Messiah. The image below is what is currently appearing at the site (as this writing is being composed. Visit the site at: Messiah Comes (messiah.com.es)

If you are Jewish or gentile, everyone needs t see how incredibly the truth of Messiah is interwoven throughout the Hebrew and Greek texts. This complex relationship in the biblical text is actually a testimony in itself. After all, 100s of years span the times when these writings were recorded, but a unity of that authorship is focused on the Messiah and the events that are yet to come in this day and age (in an era slated to end with Messiah’s return).

Take a moment and look at the web site and the Scripture references and please share this information with a Jewish or gentile person who needs to understand the incredible complexity and specificity of the Scriptures.
