The White Elantra
01/01/2025
Prosecutors have been obsessed with a white Elantra (Hyundai) in the Idaho 4 Murder Case. Here’s the problem that I’m having with the whole white Elantra scenario.
Would a person planning a murder make themselves so obvious by driving back and forth near the murder scene several times? Would they really do that? For that matter, the access (ingress/egress) to the murder house is really quite limited for any vehicle. In addition, the area has many security cameras (which is how many crimes these days are solved). Therefore, I would never be doing this in my own personal vehicle. The only person who might do that is someone planning on being caught (or someone who is being set up to be the patsy). Then, there’s the weather factor (snow), especially if you’re talking about a car.
A real criminal would determine where and when the crime should be committed in order to not get caught. The location should be one with easy access in and out, with little to no security and without any security cameras in the area. As to the security issue, a college party house is a real problem. What is the risk of being seen in a college party house, one that never sleeps and where people often show up unexpectedly. For example, a Door Dash delivery was made just minutes before the murders….and just where was the murderer at that moment. Somebody was still awake and eating a late meal when the murders occurred. The only possible way to somewhat mitigate this risk would be to have someone on the inside telling you when the coast was clear. How could you otherwise possibly risk going into this house blind?
So if a car was too big of a risk, what the other options are there? Well, how about on foot. Of course, this scenario would mean that the killer, or killers, would be someone who would need to blend into the neighborhood…like a student. This would be someone who would know the victims (who were also students at the local university) and who might even, therefore, have a real motive.
There’s even a police video taken near the murder scene (outside a frat house) at the time of the killings. The video was taken by a vest camera of a police officer who was dealing with students who were supposedly disturbing the peace. In the video, there are four people in the background who were presumably going for a walk together at 4AM… four people who were leaving the vicinity of the murder scene. As for the students who were disturbing the peace, who knows. They could have been lookouts.
You see, it’s pretty easy to come up with other scenarios when you’re not obsessed with a white Elantra.
JonBenet Murder Postscript
12/24/2024
In listening to people offer up theories on the JonBenet case, one thing is curious. There is little to no discussion about the relevance of certain pieces of evidence. Although, one can’t be sure about exactly why JonBenet died or who killed her, certain assumptions can be reasonably made about some of the evidence.
Take the ransom note for example. The note itself is totally circumstantial, even if we knew for certain who wrote it (which we don’t). However, we know that the note was written in the house and we know that it must have taken a fair amount of time to write, including the so-called first draft. Therefore, whoever wrote the note was very comfortable being in the house for that length of time and felt that they would not be discovered while writing the note. The many peculiarities of the ransom
note caused the FBI to conclude that the ransom note was staged.
While there is no shortage of evidence and suspects in this case, there is little proof. How can we tell if Colonel Mustard did it in the library with a wrench? Let’s start with what we know for sure. We know that the official autopsy report said that JonBenet died from asphyxia by strangulation and that a garrote was found around her neck (presumably the murder weapon). Her death was ruled to be a homicide. The autopsy, and a later medical review of the autopsy findings, found evidence of a sexual
assault at the time of JonBenet’s death as well as chronic sexual abuse.
This information pretty well rules out any kidnap scenario. A kidnapper is not going to sexually assault their target before taking them out of the house. In addition, the use of a garrote strongly suggests that the death wasn’t accidental since the garrote marks and the assault (given JonBenet’s other injuries) would have been difficult to cover up. Since there was a sexual assault at the time of JonBenet’s death,
one can only conclude that this was a sex-related crime and it’s quite likely that the past sexual abuse relates to the crime.
If true, this narrows the investigation considerably and much of the other evidence could then be viewed perhaps in a different light. Unfortunately, the sexual assault angle of this case is the elephant
in the room. Nobody wants to talk about it. It’s more convenient to say that she was killed accidentally. Furthermore, a sexual assault case would no doubt be very messy, especially if there was chronic sexual abuse as the medical findings state. That is, who knew about it or should have known about it. It’s not just sexual abuse, but a murder case as well. Some members of the local community would find this very uncomfortable, not unlike the situation of the Idaho 4 Murders which could have been the result of a drug-related crime. In the final analysis, the JonBenet murder case has not been solved because there
are too many people who have a vested interest in the case not being resolved.
Final Thoughts on JonBenet
12/21/2024
Grand jury time
In 2013, the findings of a 1999 Colorado grand jury were finally made public. The grand jury indicted the Ramseys on child abuse resulting in death (although they were never prosecuted). So, here’s my final thoughts on the JonBenet Ramsey cold case.
Intruder alert, what intruder?
There was no intruder because there is no evidence of one and because, in any event, it’s an untenable scenario (for many reasons, some of which I’ve previously talked about). No kidnapper is going to kidnap someone without first preparing a note. So, the only rational conclusion that one can draw from the ransom note being prepared at the crime scene, is that there was no intruder. Therefore, the so-called kidnap was a ploy to coverup the actual murder.
If there was no intruder, the existence of a kidnap note implies that the note was written to try to divert suspicion from the real killer to an “intruder.” Remember, the note was written on a note pad that belonged to the Ramseys and with a pen that belonged to the Ramseys. The note pad and pen were then returned to where they were usually stored after they were used in crafting the ransom note.
The kids were up despite what the Ramseys have said about it
Since it was Christmas night, both JonBenet and her brother Burke would have wanted to be up during the night to play with their new toys. The Christmas presents were on the floor beneath the Christmas trees that were in both JonBenet’s bedroom and Burke’s bedroom (per crime scene photos). Burke even admitted that he got up from bed to go to the kitchen to eat pineapple that night. So, he was up.
A neighbor told police that they heard a loud scream from the Ramsey’s house shortly after the Ramseys turned out the lights and went to bed. Obviously, JonBenet was up because she had to have been the one who screamed. It’s a logical assumption, therefore, that Burke also heard the scream since he was also up.
Lots of elephants
A potentially significant event that no one talks about took place on Christmas evening, the night JonBenet died. The Ramseys, Burke and Jon Benet had been to a Christmas party at a friend’s house. On the way home, they stopped at another friend’s home, that of Glenn and Susan Stine. While the Ramseys were there, a 911 call was placed from the Stine’s home. When the police answered the call, the Stines refused to let the police enter the home. No investigation was ever done concerning the 911 call and no explanation has ever been offered. Note: After the death of JonBenet, the Ramseys moved in with the Stines. Eventually, the Ramseys would relocate to Atlanta and the Stines would go with them, with Glenn taking a job at John Ramsey’s company.
The elephant in the room that has received very little consideration by the police, by the Ramseys and by many conspiracy theorists is the sexual assault of JonBenet. The grand jury found that there was evidence of a sexual assault. The official autopsy report also came to that conclusion. It has been reported that doctors found evidence that sexual abuse had also been going on for some time prior to her death. Since JonBenet’s hands had been tied and duct tape placed over her mouth, it’s very likely that her death might be linked to the sexual assault. In any event, any timeline of that night has to include a sexual assault, including the participants.
Probable cause
In returning an indictment against the Ramseys, the grand jury had to believe that there was probable cause that a crime had been committed. Even if JonBenet’s death was an accident, covering up the real cause of her death is a crime. Yes, the local District Attorney never prosecuted the Ramseys, but then he had political connections to the law firm that represented the Ramseys in this case. Guess we’ll never find out what really happened.
Goodbye JonBenet
12/16/2024
We just can’t seem to say goodbye to JonBenet. The poor girl’s murder has been analyzed to death. Can’t we just get it right so that she can finally rest in peace?
What I don’t understand is how the controversy has lasted this long. How is it possible that anyone other than someone inside the home killed her? What am I missing? Please let me know.
Look, a real kidnapper would have come to the home with a ransom note already prepared. Obviously, that didn’t happen. If you were a kidnapper, you wouldn’t spend a considerable amount of time in the home writing the note since by doing so you might be discovered. Police believe that there was even a first draft of the ransom note. Further, the note wouldn’t be pages and pages and pages long. That just wouldn’t happen.
Nevertheless, let’s try and construct a timeline/scenario that will fit the intruder theory. It might go something like this. First you enter the home and write the kidnap note using paper and pen found in the home. Then you go to Jon Benet’s bedroom and grab her. Before leaving with her, you take her to the kitchen to let her have some pineapple. Note: There was a bowl of unfinished pineappple on the kitchen counter and the autopsy report said that JonBenet had eaten pineapple just before dying. You kill her accidentally. Maybe, she was about to scream. Then you make a garrote out of materials found in the home and put it around her neck. and you put duct tape over her mouth. Why? Are you trying to make it look like a murder? You take her body down to the basement. Why are you trying to hide the body? You exit the home leaving the ransom note behind.
Oh yeah. somewhere along the line you sexually assaulted JonBenet. From the evidence, it appears that must have happened in her bedroom. So, the pineapple was a reward for being a good girl? Why not just wait to sexually assault her after you had kidnapped her? Obviously, this scenario has all sorts of holes in it.
So, the only person who could have reasonably killed JonBenet was someone in the home. That leaves just the Ramseys. However, there is one other possible scenario that I have not heard anyone mentioning. What if there was someone who the Ramseys had invited into the home? That might just satisfy those that want to match the unidentified male DNA found on JonBenet. That scenario might look like this. Patsy Ramsey took JonBenet to the kitchen to have some pineapple. A neighbor said that they saw a flickering light (possibly a flashlight) in the Ramsey’s kitchen shortly after the Ramsey’s supposedly went to bed. JonBenet is taken back to her bedroom. One or more persons are invited by the Ramseys into their home. JonBenet is sexually and physically assaulted in her bedroom, probably with the knowledge of the Ramseys. After all, JonBenet was in the child beauty pageant industry, wasn’t she? Always won, right? Part of the assault incorporated the use of a garrote which resulted in JonBenet’s death (probably an accident, although a ritual killing can not be completely ruled out). A fake kidnap plot was devised beginning with the writing of a ransom note. The body was moved to the basement to allow the Ramseys to be able to tell police that JonBenet was kidnapped (i.e. she was missing).
In summary, the intruder theory doesn’t make sense if for no other reason than a kidnapper would never sexually assault his victim in the house, if at all. The kidnap and the ransom money are of paramount importance. The objective is to snatch the target and get out as quickly as possible without being seen. In this case, the intruder felt very comfortable spending probably an hour or more in the home. Besides, as they like to say, murders are usually committed by someone who knows the victim, most often family. So they say. If real police work could only be that simple. If the JonBenet case could only be laid to rest.
The Idaho 4 Murders – Unanswered Questions
12/13/2024
The Idaho 4 murders continue to be much in the news these days. However, I hardly hear anyone discuss the general premise/rationale of the murders. Instead, there are lots of theories about such things like who was targeted, the timeline and all things Kohberger.
This crime is unusual in that there appears to be no rationale for why the crime was committed. Further, the events of this case, as publicized in the media or as gleaned from police news releases and legal filings do not appear to be plausible under the circumstances. There are still so many unanswered questions in that regard and I will attempt to touch on just a few of them.
Who would ever attempt to kill someone in a house with so many occupants, with guests coming and going at all hours of the day and night? After all, this was the party house on campus, the house that never sleeps. Heck, there was even a Door Dash delivery immediately before the murders. Kohberger was studying for his doctorate in criminal justice. If he was going to commit a crime of this nature it would have to be “the perfect crime.” However, this house is not a good setting for a perfect crime. In fact, it is a terrible place to stage such a crime.
By all accounts, these murders were meticulously planned. One of the elements that the perpetrator had to consider was how to control activity in the house. Because of this, it would seem highly unlikely that one person would attempt such a crime there. It is more likely that two or more people committed this crime (maybe even as many as four people).
If Kohberger was the killer, there was no way for him to know who was in the house and if they were awake or asleep because, according to police, he drove by the house several times and then entered the house. So, even if Kohberger was the only killer, he would have had to have had someone giving him the all clear. That could have only come by someone inside the house. Note: Kohberger has been reported to have asked police, at the time of his arrest, who else had been arrested.
Based on the police timeline, Kohberger supposedly killed four people in different locations in the house and presumably cleaned up and changed his clothes, all in less than ten minutes. This is highly unlikely to have been enough time time to commit this crime. A witness who saw the killer leave the house did not describe him as “dripping in blood.” Therefore, he would have had to have changed clothes before leaving. However, no bloody clothes were found by police at the crime scene. This strongly suggests that Kohberger had an accomplice, if in fact he was the killer.
The police have stated that the killer had an intimate knowledge of the layout of the house and the location/room where each person resided. However, they have offered no evidence to support the idea that Kohberger had such knowledge. Interestingly enough, it has been reported that Kohberger had been a drug addict. If so, it’s possible that he got his drugs at the murder house which might explain away this issue.
In a surveillance video of two of the murder victims walking home after leaving a local bar, one of the girls says that she told the bartender everything. Several hours later the murders occurred. The bartender in question was the roommate of the ex-boyfriend of one of the two girls. Just prior to the murders, the two girls tried to reach the ex-boyfriend ten times without success. This whole episode is highly suspicious and has never been explained.
There were two occupants of the house who were not attacked by the killer that night and therefore survived. In the morning, they became aware that at least one of the other occupants was non-responsive. Certainly, there had to have been blood everywhere. Instead of calling 911, they called their friends to come over. After more than three hours, one of the friends called 911. What transpired during those three hours? Is it possible that the house was sanitized and evidence destroyed?
Based on what is known publicly, the prosecutor’s case is very circumstantial. They have no witness to the murders. They have no murder weapon. No fingerprints. No motive. They have no hard evidence that Kohberger was even at the crime scene that night except for some DNA that the judge may not allow to be admitted into evidence. Then there’s the matter of the white Elantra which is central to the prosector’s case. Kohberger, of course, drives a white Elantra. However, there is no evidence that a white Elantra was driven to the crime scene by the killer and even if the killer did drive a white Elantra to the crime scene, there is no evidence that the car belongs to Kohberger. What a mess!
Like I started this post with, there has to be a rationale for these murders and why they took place in this house. There has to be a rational explanation of the motive for the crimes and how they were committed. It’s hard to fathom that Kohberger, or any one person, would have tried to commit these murders by themselves. The only plausible explanation that I can see, the only thread that runs through all the elements of this case, possibly even the white Elantra, is drugs. Even the parents of some of the murder victims have drug connections.
Northern Idaho, where the murders occurred, is a hot bed of drug trafficking run by dangerous drug rings that operate from Idaho to Mexico and from Idaho to the East Coast. They are ruthless and violent. They have money, political connections and undoubtedly some protection from law enforcement. If there was ever even a hint that these murders were drug-related, it would become the crime of the century. The public would insist on a thorough investigation and regardless of the outcome of that investigation there would be a disruption in drug trafficking. Careers of public officials could be ruined and a few could even go to jail. Under the circumstances, though,, that is unlikely to happen. Kohberger, regardless of his degree of guilt, will be the scapegoat, just another Lee Harvey Oswald.
Postscript: As for Kohberger, his case may never go to trial. He’ll likely get a book deal followed by a movie deal and wind up sipping mai tais in the Caribbean; such is the hallmark of what our society has become. We glorify those who obtain wealth and live hedonistic lifestyles. Simply put – sex, drugs and movie deals.
UP NEXT – The murder of JonBenet Ramsey
The Extraterrestrial Connection
12/10/2020
In a recent interview with the Jerusalem Post, Haim Eshed, who served as the head of the Israel space security program for almost 30 years, claims that Israel and the United States have been working with extraterrestrials for many years. Rumors of a treaty signed by then President Dwight D. Eisenhower with extraterrestrials have circulated since the 1950s.
Mike Adams of Natural News.com brought up Eshed’s comments on a recent podcast because it came from such a highly-respected source. Adams had this to say about an earth/ extraterrestrial connection: “Isn’t the primary goal right now of the globalists depopulation? Isn’t this consistent with…some intelligence that wants the planet for itself and doesn’t think that humans deserve the planet?”
Following are other excerpts from Adams podcast:
“If you were going to have a global depopulation agenda, how would you achieve that?…You’d have to inject the world population with a kill shot. How would you do that? You’d have to convince people that you need it. How would you do that? You’d have to have a global media campaign that scares people into thinking that there’s a dangerous pandemic (COVID19) that’s going to kill them all…unless they get the shot (vaccination)…You’d have to build a bioweapon and release it…They’d have fake science to push a fake narrative to push fake fear to get real people to line up for fake vaccines that are really infertility kill shots in order to wipe the planet (depopulate).”
Talking about all the wonderful advantages of planet Earth, Adams says, “What do humans do with it? They destroy. They focus on their greed, their power over others, accumulating material wealth. There are evil people who want to destroy…human consciousness, individual liberty, human rights…What do you think that an outsider, a non-earth entity, would think about humans thinking about all of this? Wouldn’t they say that it’s time to depopulate that planet?”
“I think what we are witnessing…is a war against humanity…It’s a war of extermination…(Therefore), humanity needs examples of people who are worth saving from a cosmic point of view. Humanity needs to cleanse itself of the evil destroyers, the selfish greed, the controllers…If we can do that then on a cosmic scale…we will have proven that the human race might be a race that is worthy of (being) allowed to live…The only thing that we can offer to the cosmos is to live lives worth living, in harmony with the rules of the universe…. “
Some of you may be shocked by Adams’ comments, although polls show that 68 percent of Americans think that the government knows more about extraterrestrials than it is disclosing. Of course if you would prefer to live in denial, you could just take the blue pill and go back to sleep.
“We poison our crops with bio-sludge…there’s massive child trafficking…total ecosystem destruction…clear-cutting of rain forests…we’re polluting the skies with chemtrails…we’re polluting the airwaves with 5G electromagnetic radiation….” – Mike Adams

Jim Quinn of The Burning Platform has recently written one of the better analyses of where we’re at as we approach election day, and why this is happening at this point in our nation’s history. Whether you agree with Quinn’s assessment or not, it’s a fascinating read.
Quinn refers extensively to The Fourth Turning by William Strauss and Neil Howe. Strauss and Howe believe in a theory of recurring generation cycles in American and global history. According to their theory, America is about to pass through a gate in history similar to the American Revolution, the Civil War, the Great Depression or World War II.
Here’s a few excerpts from Quinn’s article:
- “Real hardship has beset the land, for those not in the .1% or Deep State lackeys being rewarded for propagating mistruths, outright lies, fear, and propaganda on behalf of their oligarch benefactors. These apparatchiks mainly consist of corrupt politicians, central bank lackeys, mainstream media hacks, neocon warmongers, surveillance state traitors, and big pharma captured health ‘experts’. The severe distress does involve class, race, nation and empire, but most of the distress has been artificially created by those pulling the strings – Bernays’ invisible government manipulating the masses.”
- “I wish it were not so, but most human beings seem incapable of critical thought regarding how history follows a cyclical path due to human nature retaining its flaws, weaknesses, vulnerabilities and fortes throughout history. We believe we have advanced because our inventions, discoveries, and technology, but the desire for wealth, power and control over others still consumes a sociopathic portion of mankind who tend to rise to the top through any means necessary. As Huxley lamented in the 1950’s, technological progress has actually propelled mankind backwards in terms of its humanity and relationship with nature and other human beings. The very technology we glorify as an example of our advancement is now being used by the totalitarians to imprison us. It has happened slowly and methodically over decades as generation after generation have entered the government indoctrination centers (public schools) to be taught ignorance and obedience to the state. This indoctrination has been reinforced by ceaseless propaganda injected into their brains by media conglomerates doing the bidding of the state.”
- “These anti-rational propagandists are enemies of freedom, as they systematically pervert reality and knowingly manipulate the minds of the masses towards how they require them to think, feel and act. After years of socialist indoctrination in government schools and universities, the masses have been taught to feel rather than think. Victimhood is celebrated, while personal responsibility is scorned.”
- “As Huxley predicted, the controlling oligarchy has used technology to convince people to love their servitude, while unthinkingly believing what they are told by their government and media mouthpieces, doing the bidding of the government and oligarchs who control the government. The goal of the ruling class is to keep people from thinking, and most willingly oblige because thinking is hard and the uncomfortable truths are too much to bear for the satiated masses.”

“Today’s war has been an economic war of the oligarchs against the republic, and it increasingly appears that the coronavirus pandemic is being used, on the political end, as a massive coup against pluralist society. We are being confronted with this ‘great reset’…and the never-ending greed and lust for power which defines whole sections of the sociopathic oligarchy.” – Joaquin Flores, Strategic Culture Foundation
The Prisoner
10/18/2020
“We’re run by the Pentagon, we’re run by Madison Avenue, we’re run by television, and as long as we accept those things and don’t revolt we’ll have to go along with the stream to the eventual avalanche…. As long as we go out and buy stuff, we’re at their mercy… We all live in a little Village. Your Village may be different from other people’s Villages, but we are all prisoners.” – Patrick McGoohan, from the TV series The Prisoner
This from John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute:
It’s all “…part of a long-running, elaborate scam intended to persuade us that, despite all appearances to the contrary, we live in a constitutional republic…
the rise of a police state, the loss of freedom, round-the-clock surveillance, the corruption of government, totalitarianism, weaponization, group think, mass marketing…
Terrorist attacks, pandemics, civil unrest: these are all manipulated crises that add to the sense of urgency and help us feel invested in the outcome of the various elections. No matter who wins this election, we’ll all still be prisoners of the Deep State…”
We only have the illusion of democracy. The ruling elite have made sure of that. The kings have long since disappeared from the scene but basically the same group of people still control the planet. That’s why virtually every U.S. president is from the same family tree (descended from European and English royalty). Even Barack Obama.
“The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself, or be ruled by a small elite.” – Thomas Jefferson
What Is The Universe?
09/26/2020
I had several people ask me about the quote I used in my recent post In Search of Nothing. The quote compares the spiral in a snail’s shell to the various patterns in nature/creation, as follows:
“The spiral in a snail’s shell is the same mathematically as the spiral in the Milky Way galaxy, and it’s also the same mathematically as the spirals in our DNA. It’s the same ratio that you’ll find in very basic music that transcends cultures all over the world.” – Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Nature has patterns everywhere, like fractals or the Fibonacci sequence for example. So, the question is how does science explain such phenomena?
Math has always been used by scientists to try and describe the universe. Cosmologist Max Tegmark believes that’s because the universe, itself, is actually part of a mathematical structure. In that vein, physicist James Gates Jr. has stated that the fundamental nature of the universe contains 1s and 0s, just like computer programming utilizes.
So, what to make of the universe, then?
MIT professor Seth Lloyd believes that “The universe is a physical system that contains and processes information in a systematic fashion…. it really is a computer as scientific fact….” So, if the universe is a computer or a computer program that uses advanced algorithms that even super computers do not possess… who programmed it…
and exactly what does that make us?
Epilogue
Noted astronomer Carl Sagan believed that “The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.” According to Sagan, then, our purpose in life must be to allow the universe to know itself. Knowing obviously implies consciousness and intelligence. So, I believe that eventually science will be forced to turn to metaphysics to try and understand creation and the immutable laws of nature… since the answers lie beyond space and time.
“Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe that was created out of nothing and delicately balanced to provide exactly the conditions required to support life. In the absence of an absurdly improbable accident, the observations of modern science seem to suggest an underlying, one might say, supernatural plan.” – Arno Penzias, physicist
In Search of Nothing
09/20/2020
“The spiral in a snail’s shell is the same mathematically as the spiral in the Milky Way galaxy, and it’s also the same mathematically as the spirals in our DNA. It’s the same ratio that you’ll find in very basic music that transcends cultures all over the world.” – Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Science has been in quite the conundrum for some time now. Physicists have been attempting to reconcile two completely different theories, quantum mechanics and general relativity, without success. The discovery of a Theory of Everything has evaded all the greats, including Einstein. Obviously, there is a fundamental flaw in the science somewhere.
The problem starts with the fact that science today basically consists of formulae written on a chalkboard. As Nikola Tesla once said, “Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.” So, when scientists develops issues with their formulae, they invent things like universal constants, dark matter and dark energy. Based on their calculations, scientists believe that 85% of the universe is missing! In other words, their formulae only describe, at best, 15% of reality. Some theory.
In order to describe the universe, you have to first know how it was created. The problem is that science says that it all began with a Big Bang…out of nothing. Now, that doesn’t make a lot of sense. Obviously, there must have been something that caused the universe to come into existence. Therefore before the Big Bang, something else had to have existed so that there was a cause and effect in how the universe began. Otherwise, there was an effect with no cause. Thus, the expression “creation out of nothing.”
Science’s problems with the issue of creation is rooted in the assumptions that they make when formulating their theories. Here’s a few of those assumptions that scientists generally make:
- Space-time exists
Noted physicist Nima Arkani-Hamed believes that, “Space-time is doomed. There is no such thing as space-time fundamentally in the actual underlying description of the laws of physics. That’s very startling because what physics is supposed to be about is describing things as they happen in space and time. So, if there’s no space-time, it’s not clear what physics is about.” In other words, if there is no space-time, then all scientific theories are wrong.
- There was no intelligent design in the creation of the universe
Geneticist Richard Lewontin offered this explanation on the topic: “Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the supernatural. We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.” Note: Lewontin is an atheist and so his comment about not allowing a Divine Foot in the door has to do with denying the existence of God, or any intelligent design for that matter. In other words, ideology preempts science.
- Science considers the universe to be a closed system
The problem is that scientists only consider those things that are within the known universe. However, physicist David Bohm believes that the source of our reality is beyond space and time. One of the reasons for his theory is that science has discovered an all-pervasive sea of quantum energy in the universe. It is generally referred to as a Zero Point Field. This sea of energy is made up of virtual particles which appear and disappear out of nowhere. So, this is Bohm’s version of creation out of nothing, which amounts to creation from something outside of the universe.
- Science does not understand the role of consciousness
The Copenhagen interpretation is generally considered the default theory of quantum mechanics. It states that the quantum wave function collapses due to a conscious observer making a measurement of a physical system. Yet, science has not been able to include consciousness in its own theories, or perhaps they don’t want to as that would inevitably lead to a discussion about the Divine Foot (see above). However, as physicist John Wheeler said, “The universe does not exist ‘out there,’ independent of us. We are inescapably involved in bringing about that which appears to be happening. We are not only observers. We are participators.”
It was noted cosmologist and astrophysicist Martin Rees who said, “Life is the most mysterious of all the wonders of creation because atoms have been assembled in such a way so that they can ponder their own existence.” The key word here is the word “ponder” because only conscious beings can ponder, and scientists don’t seem to understand why. Instead, they are still scribbling formulae on their chalkboards in search of creation out of nothing. No doubt, Tesla is rolling over in his grave.
