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.
