The Moon has long been thought to be 4.53 billion years old. However, after analyzing some of the small impact craters scientists believer the Moon may be older than 4.53 billion years old. With all the incredible things going on in the World, why is it are journalism is so full of gossip and lies? Could it be that the majority of people have simply not heard what science has done? There are certainly some who not only prefer to remain ignorant themselves, but they do their best to keep everyone else in the same condition too. And it is of course almost inevitable that, in our truth-will-out, information-hungry culture, interesting ideas—be they welcome or not—soon enough become everybody’s property. Each new success is trumpeted from the presses, analyzed on television. When one scans through a newspaper or magazine, all the human interest stuff is characterized by conflicting statements from opposing parties in the absence of concrete evidence. The politics and economics the same sorry cyclic dramas. Human natures does not change much; science does. No, they have heard. Few adults in the modern World can actually be unaware that there are now physicalist explanations for most if not all natural phenomena, not excluding the workings of the human mind. #RandolphHarris 1 of 10

Many people—including some of those who are themselves the messengers—continue to ignore the message. Indeed, it sometimes seems that the more that people hear, the less they want to know, and the more they want to gossip and invent vicious lies to spread around. In contemporary Russia, however, the population must be better educated in science than any other in the World, alternative beliefs—ranging from Christianity and popular culture—are flourishing to an extent that even America can hardly match. The reason is transparent. Scientific materialism is regarded by many, even by some of its own prophets, as deeply unsatisfying: scary, bewildering, insulting, demeaning, dispiriting, and confining. We have fully automated cars that supposedly do not need humans to drive them, but one has already killed an innocent person. We have computers to make accessing information easier, but people are also able to hack into our computers, steal information, and cyber stalk us. We have mobile phones to make communication easier, but with augmented reality, people have found ways to simply ignore each other and the material World in large groups. However, there are some modern marvels like the automatic machines that wash and dry your clothes and dishes. #RandolphHarris 2 of 10

This era has created the first technical civilization, but it has reached the point beyond which the abyss begins. It is still important to also focus on the cultivation of soul, individual spirituality, and above all, trust in one’s own subjectivity as one’s principal link with the World. We stand at the end of the Age of Reason. A new era of the magical explanation of the World is rising. The demonstrators for a cause cannot always choose their comrades on the barricades. Nonetheless, human beings—especially the more articulate and poetic ones should have their say about matters that are theirs. Where have we come from? What are we? Where are we going? People want explanations to these questions and they are certainly not getting answers from fake news and gossip. Many want life’s symptoms that make sense. There has to be a reasonable diagnosis of what presently exists—an explanation, especially where obvious natural explanations are lacking, of the pains and aches, flushes, starts in the eyes, strawberry rashes of the present World. There have to be an acceptable prognosis of what lies ahead—an assurance, especially where natural assurances are lacking, that life is worth living. #RandolphHarris 3 of 10

Human begins cannot stop the World, but they can always make a personal decision to get off. If, on the basis of the diagnosis, the prognosis looks too bad—the remedy is obvious. How thin the line between the will to live and the will to die. In Manhattan, New York USA, say, at the Brooklyn Bridge which has an elevation of 5,989 feet, a sign read: 4pm-8pm/ Monday, Wednesday, and Friday / Suicide Permitted. Just that. A sign. Why, surely people would jump who had hardly thought of it before. However, one must live somehow. It is by no means obvious that staying live is worth the effort. Most people have probably imagined ending it. Indeed, in the United States of America recent studies show that about 60 percent of teenagers report that they have considered suicide at sometime, 26 percent within the last year. When it comes to the elderly and disabled, considering the negative social messages concerning frailty we hear almost daily, it is not surprising that 68 percent of them have considered suicide after acquiring a disability. It may be also that these groups experience the common feeling of existential isolation. However, suicide is an error on the ground that it affords only an apparent and not a real release from the sufferings of life. Such a release is only apparent because the will as a thing-in-itself is outside of space and time, and the person committing suicide cannot destroy the will itself but only its manifestation at the place and time. #RandolphHarris 4 of 10

The rejection of suicide is an implicit belief that life is worth living. Many physicians, are now refusing to supply or administer pain-killing drugs because they realize the effects may be not only to kill the pain, but also to shorten the life. In euthanasia, there are a number of indirect evils: the difficulty of ascertaining the patient’s real consent, which least to the danger of abuse; the risk of an incorrect diagnosis; the risk of administering euthanasia to a person who could have later been cured by new medical developments; and the wedge argument (condoning euthanasia would lead to general disrespect for the sanctity of human life). When people contemplate life they have a few questions. Who put me here? By whose command and act were this time and place allotted to me? And the eternal silence of these infinite spaces terrifies some. People are bound to dream of a less threatening, less lonely and more obviously ordered World. It may be a World that in their innocence they once believed was theirs already. For it is likely that in everybody’s life there was once a time when it seemed there would always be someone ready to take care of them…to lighten the darkness, to fence off the beckoning hole. There is so much violence in the World, so many people being bullied and killed, that families fear for the lives of their loved one’s whenever they walk out the door. #RandolphHarris 5 of 10

 No wonder that, in these scary circumstances, people hark back to a time when things were better: to that time in each of their lives when things were better: to that time in each of their lives when most did indeed have parents to look after them—caring adults who would, at any rate in fantasy, act as founts of both wisdom and compassion. Those same parents are supposed to be their protectors and guides, guarantors of a safe passage. No surprise, therefore, that if people have once experiences—or even imagined—this comprehensive solution to their needs, they seek again in later life a singular philosophy to live by. This is why the World’s great religions has always been, at least in part, a desire for an idealized parent figure who is all in one. God, in the Christian tradition is both wisdom and love. To know him is to have the World both explained and made secure for us. The Christian God is both the God of the means and the God of the ends. God is both our doctor and instructor. In a recent study in Europe conducted by the European Values Study Group, it was found that, of those Europeans who believed in God (70 percent of the total), and full half (35 percent of the total) agreed with the statement that “Life is meaningful only because God exists.” #RandolphHarris 6 of 10

In other words, it is suggested that about 33 percent of people would find life meaningless if they were to be robbed of their belief in God. And this general picture of the saving effect of supernatural belief has time and again been both confirmed and illuminated by the testimony of writers, poets, and philosophers. If humans had no eternal consciousness, if, at the bottom of everything, there were merely a wild, seething force producing everything, both large and trifling, in the storm of dark passions, if the bottomless void that nothing can fill underlay all things, what would life be but despair? Research on disability and depression has consistently shown that when people with disabilities report dissatisfaction with their lives they are not nearly as concerned with things such as reliance on machines or medications as they are with their relationships, financial security, or difficulties while at work. And these are also concerns that others have as well, but when one has a disability, their options may be far more limited than you realize. Much like most students and single parents suffer a form a disability, in the form of financial stability. One of the most worrisome things in the World is not knowing how one is going to provide for oneself and keep a roof over their head. #RandolphHarris 7 of 10

With prayer in our hearts for understanding, and some timidity, we should consider parents and children with special problems. These extraordinary challenges are, as the Savior himself said, “The Works of God should be made manifest.” Life is worth living even if it is not perfect. Everyone brings gifts to the World and to others who are free from those conditions in a manner that cannot come in any other way. People with limitations demonstrate in a miraculous way how they are able to adjust and compensate to life’s demands. Occasionally, other sense become more functional and substitute for the impaired sense in a remarkable way. There are two great pillars that bear us up, amid the wreck of misfortune and misery. The one is composed of the different modifications of a certain noble, stubborn something in humans, known by the names of courage, fortitude, magnanimity. The other is made up of those feelings and sentiments which connect us with and link us to, those awful obscure realities—an all power and equally beneficent God; and a World to come beyond death and the grave. The first gives the nerve of combat, while a ray of hope beams on the field: –the last pours the balm of comfort into the wounds which time can never cure. #RandolphHarris 8 of 10

Surveys show that in general the degree of belief in supernatural forces is highest amongst the most vulnerable members of society. Predictably it comes to the fore at times of personal stress, as for example, in athletes before a competition, students before examinations, women during pregnancy, people who are recently divorced or bereaved, soldiers on the battlefield, and whole nations in times of political and economic chaos such as 1930s Germany and president-day America. Several recent studies have specifically compared the mental health of religious believers with the of non-believers, and found that, as might be expected, the former show many fewer symptoms of psychological disturbances. Irreligious individuals have 45 percent more symptoms of mental disturbance than their religious counterparts. There is a remarkable effectiveness of a supernatural belief system in combating feelings of worthlessness, lifting depression and calming fears. Many have a pure faith in others and a powerful belief in God. They can give their spiritual strength to others around them. All the minds and spirits that God ever sent into the World are susceptible of enlargement. #RandolphHarris 9 of 10

Special commendation belongs to parents and family members who have cared for their own children with special needs in the loving atmosphere of their own home. The real World is such that, once we have arrived at the correct understanding of what we are, we shall no longer have to worry about where we are going because we shall be able to see that what is true now pretty much guarantees that what is coming later will be alright. When we come into the field of spiritual mind treatment, we have not entered a field of chaos where nothing happens in accord with law. We have the obligation to do the best we can. The responsibility rests in the hands of God. Those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit are willing to do anything and everything that God asks of them. When we give thanks in all things, we see hardships and adversities in the context of the purpose of life. The children of God have always been commanded to give thanks. We have so much for which to give thanks. The revelations, for which we are grateful, show that we should even give thanks for our afflictions because they turn our hearts to God and give us opportunities to prepare for what God would have us become. If we understand the Lord’s teachings and promises, we will learn and grow from our adversities. #RandolphHarris 10 of 10
