to the Reality of Creation
Published February 2011

ISBN 978-0-9870886-1-1
For Preface to this Volume, see above.
These 6 volumes are
a specialised sub-set of the overall work now of 201 volumes, and some 24 million words and 60,000 pages.In October-November 2010, there came the addition of the Chapters 56-57. The former is dealing with Genesis and creation, in a synthesis of considerations. The latter focuses on wisdom as given in Job, and covers a broad spectrum of creationist issues, in the light of the absolute wisdom of God, there revealed, in many fields and engages in some spiritual/intellectual experiment for expository purposes. Chapters 54-56 deal with matters of the wisdom of God and its exhibition and the fretful feebleness of man trying to invent creation with words that lack logic and power alike.
Chapters 57-59 continue to deal first with Genesis, generations and genes, the days, with more on dates, then the key to Christian Apologetic Method, amid the evidence situation the validity and the emplacements of God, before we meet with Job and wisdom, what it portends, requires and gives in Chapter 60. In Chapter 61, we have a spiritual-intellectual experiment, linked to Jeremiah 4, before we audit a dialogue in Chapter 62. Further is given as you come to these Chapters.
Chapters 61-62 deal with the dichotomy between dreams and reality, moving from this naturally to the dreams of Dawkins as he exposes a nightmare substitute for the Bible, in discussing the same, a matter duly corrected for his divagations, denunciations and the like. Ch. 63 looks at the exuberance and significance of vitality in Christian Apologetics. It places this in a composite with many other crucial features of life, and their implications.
Chapter 64 provides a dialogue with focus on suffering, design, disaster and deliverance with stress on caution and on our particular contribution, in terms of liberty and revolt.
Chapters 65-66
In the Chapter 65, we have The Area of Implacable Vitality
where an arraignment of specific follies is made, amid the barren postulates of an epically and indeed epochally dismal non-performing scientistic theory, dignified by its improper immigration visa into science. In Chapter 66, we look at a vast realm of design, physical, mental, spiritual, reaching to the heights and descending to the depths.
For positive and negative reasons, it is necessary to move from the riddles of unrealism to the reality of creation.
Accordingly, in Chapter 67, we come to the Dawn of Dawkins and the Prior Dawn of Creation, and gaze upon these infinitely diverse phenomena moving from the riddles of unrealism to the reality of creation.
What of Chapter 68 ? Here, first, are the lists of the unique facilities and functionalities of creation and life, from an institutive point of view are considered and made into one total list with new additions, set in the midst of freedom and its pre-conditions, while the texture of truth in what is before us is pondered amid the panorama of the created and desecrated, made bereft of reductionism and faced.
In the second reference linked here, for Chapter 68, we have the antithesis, that fluting music that knows no basis for its imagination, so that this becomes a satirical exposition on nothing as a mode of thought or basis.
In Chapter 69, in two sections, we see the unholy holocaust of children's minds on the one hand, and a coverage of the fantasies, illusions, invalidities, sophisms, antitheses, antinomy of modern befuddlements such as are made compulsory but certainly not compulsive sources for students of all ages!
Chapter 70 deals with a broad spectrum of antrrualistic dissavours, and links them to one source and one result, whilst its second reference brings to us a conversation with father and son on things ranging from the Middle East to the Supernatural God, in terms of power, performance and prediction such as science might JUSTLY long for. It is here.
In Chapter 71, we give major attention to considerations of command in things natural, personal and supernatural.
Chs. 72-73 (q.v. below) give broad coverage in matters of EDUCATION and POLITICS in the setting of the philosophic, the scientific, the scientistic, the political and the educational, considering recent developments in the News. Ch. 74 specialises in overview, both of faith and unbelief, and is of exceptionally broad coverage.
The current extent, in December 2011, of The gods of naturalism have no go! appears in excess of one million words.

Themes are: SIN AND SALVATION, HYPNOSIS WITHOUT CREATION AND THE NECESSITY OF RE-CREATION
W

THE DIVINE INITIATIVE
SEEING STARS,
WHEN THE IMAGINATION IS VEXED, AS IN AN ACCIDENT,
IS NO GROUND FOR SEEING WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY,
AS IF ONE WERE STILL SEEING
THAT KIND OF STARS.This Chapter is very wide-ranging and exceptionally extensive, includes consideration of Redeeming Science (Poythress), and the need for forthright clarity, and casting down imaginations as in II Cor. 10:5.
It surveys the wonder of the results when biblical perspective/propositions and empirical/rational realms are compared. These are exceedingly clear, both in the stricken and various realms of naturalism which cannot stand, and on the other side, in those of knowledge when it is NOT self-contradictory, but properly so-called, and indeed science, one aspect of it, when that is justly so-called. It is then that the triumphant standing of biblical revelation, in close partnership with reason, stands as clearly alone in impact and sustainability, as the testimony of the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbour.
A third contribution is added to this Chapter, so that we have these 3 emphases.
1) Genesis, generations, genes cohere to a marvel; whilst horrible hermeneutics are mere hindering mechanics, spoiling a good car.
2) Divine Initiative, a Key to the actions of God: Christ, more than spiritual entrepreneur, sent as Saviour, no less than the grand Prince of Wisdom, whose works speak as do no other's on earth, whose words attests His ways, whose actions were wrought both in heaven and on earth.
The key to Christian Apologetic Method discussed amid the evidence, its name, nature and place, the validity and the emplacements of God.
3) A spiritual/intellectual experiment
Ch. 9, Volume 9, Possess Your Possessions
Jeremiah 4 and Creating/Desecrating the Universe
This involves a spiritual/intellectual experiment to aid understanding and illustrate what must be realised in the field of the love, patience, power, industry and necessary bases in God. It looks to Jeremiah 4 for crucial input.

We thus have two emphases here, and in the next Chapter comes one in accord, the third. providing three collateral emphases.
1) Genesis, generations, genes cohere to a marvel; whilst horrible hermeneutics are mere hindering mechanics, spoiling a good car.
2) Divine Initiative, a Key to the actions of God: Christ, more than spiritual entrepreneur, sent as Saviour, no less than the grand Prince of Wisdom, whose works speak as do no other's on earth, whose words attests His ways, whose actions were wrought both in heaven and on earth.
3) A spiritual/intellectual experiment
Ch. 9, Volume 9, Possess Your Possessions
Jeremiah 4 and Creating/Desecrating the Universe
This involves a spiritual/intellectual experiment to aid understanding and illustrate what must be realised in the field of the love, patience, power, industry and necessary bases in God. It looks to Jeremiah 4 for crucial input.
The key to Christian Apologetic Method is discussed amid the evidence, its name, nature and place, the validity and the emplacements of God.
It follows in Chapter 61, after Chapter 60 below.

Ch. 8, Volume 9, Possess Your Possessions
THE WISEACRE, THE WISE ACRE
AND THE PLOT OF PEACE
Starting from Job's hungry search for wisdom, this moves to finding it, to which Job in his challenged life gives great impetus.
Chapter 61

Though closely allied to the two components of Ch. 59, this Chapter deserves a separate location, as its presentation is very particular in kind.
Ch. 9, from Possess Your Possessions, The Divine Initiative Volume IX
REPLACEMENT MODELS ARE TEDIOUS DREAMS
A spiritual-intellectual experiment!
Jeremiah 4 and Creating/Desecrating the Universe
This involves a spiritual/intellectual experiment to aid understanding and illustrate what must be realised in the field of the love, patience, power, industry and necessary bases in God. It looks to Jeremiah 4 for crucial input.
Chapter 62
Here is a broad scope of suffering, design, disaster and deliverance, with stress on causation, its genus and our particular kind, liberty and revolt. It is taken from Possess Your Possessions Volume 12, Chapter 6.
Getting Up to Date
The source of this is TMR Ch. 7, Section E, which has been accumulating for many years as things have progressed in this field of science.
The current aspect, placed here in that Section, may also be found in
The Lie has a Limited Shelf Life Ch. 4, where it takes it place in a spread of considerations of a cumulative character. In particular, a point is made of the concept of point, and the disappointing and pointless results arising through the slippery slopes that lead to logical slide. While this Ch. 4 was written later than the following chapters, its topic fits it best here.
Chapter 64
January 2011
Possess Your Possessions Volume 12, Chapter 6.
DEATH TO DESIGN OR LIFE THROUGH DESIGN
A Dialogue
Here is a broad scope of suffering, design, disaster and deliverance,
with stress on causation, its genus and our particular kind, liberty and revolt.
Chapter 65
The source of this is CHAPTER 1 THE VISION AND VIRTUE OF VITALITY
of THE VITALITY, THE PERSPICUITY AND THE WISDOM
OF THE GOD OF CREATION AND REDEMPTION
The Area of Implacable Vitality
where an arraignment of specific follies is made, amid the barren postulates of an epically and indeed epochally dismal non-performing scientistic theory, dignified by its improper immigration visa into science.
Chapter 66
This is partly taken from Ch. 7 of Redemption or Revolt.
DREAMS HAVE THEIR PLACE, BUT NOT IN REALITY
Here in conversation mode, we find a dream mode to introduce the escapades that never escape, as reality is seen to overthrow dark visions that never see the light.
Also linked here, is
Ch. 2 of Redemption or Revolt, in which a vast realm of design, physical, mental, spiritual is seen reaching to the heights and descending to the depths, conceived, conceptual, creative, created, the domain of the everlasting mind and designate purposes of the in eludible and ineluctable God.
Chapter 67
This is partly taken from Ch. 10 of REDEMPTION OR REVOLT
HUMAN Jealousy
The Dawn of Dawkins and the Prior Dawn of Creation
This is a composite on the lust-thrust of Dawkins' dreams in the realm of theology and associated topics, with consideration of his blight and burden.
Chapter 68
The source of the first section of this is CHAPTER 2
THE IRRESOLVABLE INTRICACIES OF THE UNREDEEMED
AND THE SINGULAR RESOLUTION OF SALVATION
It is found in:
THE DIVINE SUBLIMITY
OF THE ARDOUR
OF CHRIST AND HIS SALVATION
Here the lists of the unique facilities and functionalities of creation and life, from an institutive point of view are considered and made into one total list with new additions, set in the midst of freedom and its pre-conditions, while the texture of truth in what is before us is pondered amid the panorama of the created and desecrated, made bereft of reductionism and faced. Just as implacable vitality is seen in Ch. 63 above, so here we have new entrants, synthetic integrality, linguistic command, the cessation of the underlying directional dynamic with integral meaning and irresolvable intriacies of the unredeemed and the singular resolution of salvation. This makes 15 units of apprehension made ready for comprehension.
See also, Life, What is it definitive elements and aspects, and the investigatory perspective on a broader base in Repent or Perish Ch. 7.
The source of the second part of section of this is CHAPTER 4 of the same volume.
This specialises in the nullity of what disregards or even disdains empirical reality, drawing from first to last on nothing for everything. As such, it is the perfect contrast, in satire, to the diligent method shown in Ch. 2, coming first in this current Chapter 64.
Chapter 69
The source of the first section of this is
CHAPTER 6 and
CHAPTER 7
CHILDREN IN THE LION'S DEN
Errors and Terrors
of the volume,
THE DIVINE SUBLIMITY
OF THE ARDOUR
OF CHRIST AND HIS SALVATION
Of Chapter 6, there is this to be said. In this extensive coverage, a significant review of naturalistic fallacies in realms logical, empirical and educational is provided, with some up-to-date developments. Concerning Chapter 7, here is a broad, varied coverage of the fantasies, illusions, invalidities, sophisms, antitheses, antinomy, of modern befuddlements, passing as science on the part of many, though the scientific camp is strongly divided. New are seen in the light of old, and I Timothy 6:20 is given exegesis, in the midst of the considerations of the captivity of children by proponents of the naturalistic fallacies, teaching them at the same time, anti-empirical bases for philosophic posturing, dressed up as science.
The positive alternative is considered in its various logical facets, in marked contrast to these rapt wanderings, its biblical beneficence replacing the just curse put on man, its Christian confirmation, centred in Christ Himself, and not man, true not only for life, but in life. As once Israel of old was put in stark discipline, those whose non-innocent waywardness was nationally repetitive, socially and spiritually, morally and even in worship much corrupted (cf. Ezekiel 8, II Kings 16:8-14), now among the Gentiles, as formerly amid the Jews, just such things in modern dress, bring results in suffering to match the insufferable evil of the deeds, whether in mind, or matter's premises. The world writhes.
The way on and out is as delightful as creation, which is considered at some length, and as positive, having relief as well as restoration, and is part of the completion of coverage in validation of what reason finds in God and His word.
A third item placed in this Chapter 65, is Ch. 6 of Diamonds of Divine Divulgement in the Bible.
Chapter 70
This
is partly taken from Ch. 5 of
The Christian Prescription. It deals simultaneously with a broad
spectrum of naturalistic dissavours, and links them to one source and one
result, principially. With this in this Ch. 61, is placed Diamonds of
Divine Divulgement Ch. 8 (cf.
News 1), a conversation between father and son on things
ranging from geology to the Middle East, from the supernatural God in this and
that manifestation of power, performance and prediction, the attestation in the
very world of nature, including our own!
Chapter 71
CONSIDERATIONS OF CREATION
AT THE TRANSMISSION-RECEPTION LEVEL
CREATION BY COMMAND
This is from Chapter 1 of
The Lord of Longsuffering, Prince of Peace, Christ of Command
including,
Eternal Basis of Prescription, Inscription, Description but not Conscription
The Conspectus, Configuration and Competence of Command
Chapter 72
This is received from
Ch. 1 of The Word and Wisdom of God and the Ways of Man
This reviews matter, mind and spirit without suffering subjectivistic exploits, and considers functions in each, and results for all in creation and correlation.
The title of Ch. 1 is:
The Nature of the Cosmos and of the Character of Man
Elements of grace and place and race are considered in their actual and proper connections.
See also Ch. 2 of the same volume, *1 for further on the nature of liberty and the self-contradictory and mutually confrontational theories which show the error of foundation-free thought.
With this Chapter goes as partner Ch. 8 of THE GREAT DIVIDE, which deals with the utter division typified by the flood of Noah, with the distinguishing love (and not mere power or force or preference) of God, and with lessons implicit on the absurdities of naturalism.
This, having a hand-made universe without the means, and a mind-made deployment of logic, this world susceptible to it, without the logic, and invention of logic from nothing as well as a world for its deployment, and all this with a flick of the fingers of nothing which can never do anything, or with the import of everything by smuggling agencies, and brazenly planting it all in the field FOR NO REASON, has further reason for relegation to rubbish.
Thus, with a theory allegedly able to provide designs (under a suitable pseudonym), though never found to provide, let alone the underlying DNA in its elemental force for such, devoid of verisimulitude, divorced from sight, a major proponent laments the contrary facts, a point so mournfully noted by Professor Stephen Jay Gould, who considers it rather odd to account for the ACTUAL loss of some 90% of earlier design types, by a mode of gain! It is a jumble, and such problem types are acknowledged in their basic force by Professor Lewontin, for whom the results of ideology, though fractious, must be endured with quasi-religious disregard of simple things such as conformity to facts, and coverage with rationales which are heirs apparent to their domains. On the contrary, he is ready to endure astounding non-conformities. You often find this: a theory which founders on fact, changes the bases, and invents myths of ANY proportions. When they account for the opposite of what they acknowledge finding, however, we are moving in a certain dénouement!
In this Chapter, many elements of the position are presented with minimal formality, in the flood setting.
Chapter 73
This is received from
1) Christ not Culture, the Lord not Man, Truth not Mere Intractability Ch. 1,
linking curriculum in history and elsewhere with lordly and blindly misinformed culture, esp at History, Science, Curriculum and Country.2) Ch. 2 of the same, at Excursion on Scientistic Pre-Occupations, dealing with the realms of the scientific , the scientistic and their relationship to politics.
Jointly, these provide a broad coverage with useful references for the totality, and are relatively extensive.
Chapter 74
This chapter is received from
THE SPLENDOUR OF THE BIBLICAL COVERAGE
OF THE MEANING AND
MATRIX OF MAN Chs. 5 and 6, which are really one whole.
These too cover broadly, and with some depth, the elements of disbelief and
faith,
from various perspectives, culminating in a biblical perspective simultaneously
a logical necessity.
LITTLE FAITH AND REBELLION
AND
LIVING FAITH IN THE LIVING GOD - THE WORKING COUPLE
This Chapter concerns the first item, and Ch. 6 moves on to the second.
In Ch. 4, one spoke of a spiritual singularity.
Here we come to its contemplation.
LIVING FAITH IN THE LIVING GOD - THE WORKING COUPLE
Chapter 75
This includes two
chapters from the volume No. 208 and one from No. 209.
Volume 208 is
entitled
NOT ONLY IS GOD GREAT, BUT GLORIOUS.
First comes Ch. 5, specialising on matters of information science, with extensive reference to Professor Werner Gitt's new volume, Without Excuse.
From the same
volume comes the Epilogue:
SOLEMN FARCES AND SACRED REALITIES. This pursues naturalism in a political,
Secret Service arena, where morals, national priorities, human degradations,
pompous self-assurance and irrational assumptions are disentangled in a
far-reaching analysis, and brought to their logical realities and
revelatory exposure.
Volume 209 is PROSPECT, RETROSPECT AND REALITY.
In this, Ch. 5 deals with the ludicrous aspects of pre-occupation with nothing and its hideous realism in one point, namely that it is an essentialising of what has for generations now, been an escape clause to avoid God, making it, whether acknowledged or not, the basis of the evolutionism which craves nature to make itself, in the last logical analysis, before it is there to do it, and to do so by means found in it, after it has been made. The confusion deserves all it gets, and in this Chapter is a list of Chapters exposing this and allied features of this convenient philosophic pre-occupation, which stirs the revolutionary heart that so readily beats in man, activates the anti-God ways of Sodom and Nineveh, and leads to atrocities in the flesh resembling those in the spirit and the mind, as naturally as drought leads to shrivelling.
That list is reproduced here as well as in Ch. 5, for convenience, with its introduction..
