Now, I will let you in on a little secret. Nothing seen telepathically is ever one tenth as vivid as what an immortal being sees with his or her own eyes. Telepathy is cool, no doubt about it, but the vision of an immortal is almost intolerably vivid. If asked to, a believer in God might justify his or her beliefs in several ways. One might offer an a priori argument—for instance, the Ontological Argument; one might offer a posteriori arguments, from the marvels of creation to a designing Mind; one might appeal to revelation and cite the miracles recorded in Scripture; one might say that, without an all-powerful Providence, human choices and endeavours are pointless; one might appeal to anthropology to show that it was unnatural for people to live without religion and attempt to find some converging direction in the development of particular faiths. The existence of God is a matter of fact. It cannot be proved by a priori, but only from experience by an argument from effect to cause. However, we have no experience of origins of the Worlds. We must therefore rely on analogy, comparing the World to things of whose origin we have experience. However, the World is as like an animal or vegetable as it is like a machine. So it arose as likely from insemination as from design. Could mortal lip divine the undeveloped freight of a delivered syllable, it would crumble with weight. #RandolphHarris 1 of 11

 Moreover, if God is known only as the cause of the World, we can know nothing of hum expect that he is such as to create the World we find. We can draw no inferences from his existence except such as are already warranted by our knowledge of the World. He is an empty hypothesis. However, when humans look to God with their flawless eyes, their fierce intellect understands on some complete mystical level, quite truly beyond words, that a miracle must be a breach of a law of nature, a known miracle must be a breach of a known law. However, a known law of nature by definition carries the highest possible degree of probability, derived from extensive and uniform experience. A miracle can therefore only be accepted if the falsity of the testimony for it would be an even greater miracle, that is, a more glaring improbability than the miracle first alleged. There is no denial that this could ever happen. Laws of nature do have to be amended in the light of startling new experiments. We cannot deny that a miracle can ever be proved as a justifiable foundation for a system or religion. Yet, the record of known fabrications of marvels of this sort is so black that it is always more probable that a story of a miracle imputed to the action of a god has been made up than that it happened. Moreover, if not all religions are true and if all religions produce miracles, most miracles must be deceptions. All religions do produce miracles. There is, therefore, always a high probability that any one of the is a deception. #RandolphHarris 2 of 11

Contracts and promises are not the foundation of human cooperation, but a special case of it. The use of such agreements to regulate the conjunction of forces, partition of tasks, and distributions of products is a lesson people learn in the natural society of the family and is a biological necessity for the survival and prevalence of the human species. Governments, laws, and institutions are useful to human society. Their justification is in their utility, which depends largely on the habitual trust people have in one another’s allegiance to them. Consequently, an established trusted government should never be overthrown on grounds of religion or hereditary claims to thrones or in other to experiment with utopian theories. Nor does the authority of the governments rest on a contract. Rather the authority of both governments and contracts rests on their utility (of the Original Contract). This only proves that property, promises, governments, laws, rules of games, and the like are useful devices, which no person is obliged to respect unless others do likewise. These, or the respect for them, is equated with justice. The idea of justice seems to be somehow connected with the fact that humankind lives by cooperation, by sharing tasks and exchanging products. #RandolphHarris 3 of 11

There is no natural motive which always points to the just act. Justice does not necessarily conform to either the agent’s private interest, one personal friendships, or the public interest. It must therefore arise from some artifice whose merits we learn. The person who, or system which, allocates to one person fewer of the tasks or more of the products than it does to another—unless for some reason equally valid for and acceptable to all—is unjust, or as we more usually say, unfair. The willingness to be fair, the lack of which makes a person unit to participate in any form of cooperation and distribution, whether instinctive or devised, is no more an artificial virtue than courage. And being essentially concerned with distribution, not with aggregation, it cannot be justified by its utility, unless equality, as well as happiness, be admitted as an ultimate end. All human symptoms and problems, when they are taken to their depth and realized in a soulful way, find their ultimate solution in a religious sensibility. We always expect love to be healing and whole, and then are astonished to find that it can create hollow gaps and empty failures. God is the originator of our actions. (All events with causes trace their causal ancestry to him, and our actions have causes.) However, sublime mysteries are beyond the reach of unassisted reason and, therefore, of philosophy. “Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because you your evil behaviour,” reports Colossians 1.21. #RandolphHarris 4 of 11

Some races have no religion. In all known cases the earliest religions were polytheistic and idolatrous, with no notion whatever of an intelligent cause of the whole frame of nature. They were truly atheistic as would be the beliefs of a contemporary person who acknowledged elves and fairies but denied the existence of God. The polytheistic systems were not primitive systems of science. Primitive humans were not interested in accounting for the regular phenomena of nature; they took the familiar for granted, however marvelous. It was the bewildering succession of floods and droughts, sickness and health, calm and tempest, victory and defeat, birth and death, that alternately terrified and comforted, nourished and destroyed them; it was these contrary and diverse events which, by a natural tendency to see external things in one’s own likeness, one ascribed to diverse and warring invisible persons, amenable to flattery and bribes and even to threats and force of arms. It short, it was not God as the author of nature but God as a particular providence for which primitive religions were an origin and prototype. The only original instincts involved were the fear of death and pain and the desire for security and pleasure, together with a tendency to personify inanimate things.  #RandolphHarris 5 of 11

Catastrophism is the belief that the Earth’s geological features are the result of sudden, Worldwide cataclysmic events like the Noah flood. Catastrophism suggested that a series or regional disasters had destroyed most or all of the plant and animal life in various places. These areas were then restocked with new, similar species that migrated in from unaffected regions. Moreover, the fact that forces as wind, water erosion, local flooding, frost, the decomposition of vegetable matter, volcanoes, earthquakes, and glacial movements have all contributed in the past to produce the geological landscape that exists in the present, some are now under the impression that these processes are now humanmade and not due to natural nature. The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program, or HAARP, is a scientific endeavour aimed at studying the properties and behaviour of the ionosphere. The HAARP has generated quite a bit of controversy overs it is alleged weather control capabilities. Some have speculated that facilities like HAARP are to blame for a number of weather-related disasters. A large number of people tend to believe that HAARP is the only facility of its kind. The program operates at a major sub-arctic facility, called the HAARP Research Station, on Air Force owned site near Gakona, Alaska USA. #RandolphHarris 6 of 11

The most prominent instrument at the HAARP Station is the Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI), a high-power radio frequency transmitter facility operating in the high frequency (HF) band. The IRI is used to temporarily to excite a limited area of the Ionosphere. The HAARP is facility, however, it not the only facility of its kind. There are quite a number of other ionospheric research facilities around the World such as the Mu Radar in Japan, the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, Sura in central Russian, and EISCAT in Tromso, North Norway. However, because a large number of people tend to believe that HARRP is the only facility of its kind, many people jump to conclusions that the Untied States of America is to blame when an incident arises that could possibly be caused by facilities like HARRP. Nonetheless, weather modification is possible by altering upper atmosphere wind patterns or altering solar absorption patterns by constructing one or more plumes of atmospheric particles which will act as a lens or focusing device. If the ionosphere is greatly disturbed, the atmospheric conditions below are subsequently disturbed. The powerful radio waves of the HARRP can lift areas of the ionosphere by focusing a beam and heating those areas of the ionosphere. Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto Earth and penetrate everything, living and dead. #RandolphHarris 7 of 11

Due to the fact that disruptions in the ionosphere have the ability to alter atmospheric conditions, many researchers who study the science of the HARRP (the most powerful of its kind in the World) have come forward with concerns that the ionospheric related disruptions have had a role to play in weather related disasters. As a result, some consider the HAARP to be a new breed of weapon with the capability to alter jet stream routes along weather patterns. It does not stop there, some philosophers believe that Puerto Rico used the Arecibo Observatory to disrupt the ionosphere to create hurricane Maria, then did not use the $50 billion in federal assistance, and left the millions of gallons of bottle water on the runway to make President Trump look bad and blame him for a slow response. However, considering the democrats are trying to use some 36-year-old gossip to get Judge Brett Kavanugh banned from the supreme court, anything is possible when it comes to politics. Much like the primitive humans, many modern humans do not seem to believe in God, rules of nature, or the justice systems. Myths and gossips and superstitions are their gods. There are actually accurate reports that many of the geological scientist do not even speak to each other to share data on climate change, rain fall, and weather events. It may not be intentional, but they do not have a coordinated system. #RandolphHarris 8 of 11

It is sincerely difficult to distinguish true or philosophical religion from superstition. However, the Universe is due to something remotely analogous to a designing mind. Still, the moral attributes of God, providence, immortality, and the Whole Christian story from the Fall to the Day of Judgment are things we should consider when it comes to life. Knowledge of causes and effects, whether purely qualitative or refined by measurement and calculations, only affects our actions if the objects so connected are some interest to us. Nothing can make them of interest to us but the pleasure and pain we expect from them. It is not the reasoning concerning causes and effects which moves us to action, but the desire of the pleasures and fear of the pains which we foresee by this reasoning. “For he will fulfill all his promises which he shall make unto you, for he has fulfilled his promises which he has made unto our fathers,” reports Alma 37.13,16-17. The fulfillment of God’s promises are always bonded to obedience to the laws attached to them. However, these promises do not ensure that everything that happens in our lives will be in accordance with our expectation and desires. Rather, God’s promises guarantee that what happens to us will be in accordance to his will. Sometimes unexpected trials will present themselves that we must overcome; sometimes promised blessings will be long delayed. #RandolphHarris 9 of 11

However, know that the time will come when we will know that these trials and these delays were for our good and our eternal progression. The greatest thing we can desire in life is to align our will to the will of the Lord—to accept his agenda for our lives. God knows everything from the beginning, has a perspective that we do not have, and love us with an infinite love. When I was young and decided to prepare of the entrance exam to the best business schools in France, this preparation was very challenging and required personal work every day. Unfortunately, an unexpected disaster happened and I was not able to make it to French Consulate in San Francisco, California USA. France is the World’s sixth-largest economy, and the third largest in Europe. To get an Executive Master of Business Administration from HEC Paris would have been amazing. I was totally distraught. How could the Lord have abandoned me when I had preserved in my faithfulness? However, I was able to stay in California and connect with the church and learn all these wonderful things about God. I was assured that it is best this way so that when it is my time to pass away, I would not do so as a lost soul, financially rich, but poor spiritually. I thanked the Lord for his goodness. It took me several years to understand the miraculous blessings that my failure to get into the college of my dreams has been. #RandolphHarris 10 of 11

The Lord was guiding my steps with the foreknowledge of the mission he wants me to accomplish in my life. After we have done all in our power, and things do not workout the way we prayed for them to, we must be ready to accept that our Father in Heaven has another plan. The promises of the Lord assure us of our final destination. The itinerary for each of us will vary according to the foreknowledge of God. Our circumstances may change, unexpected events may occur, challenges may arise, but the promises of God to us are assured through our faithfulness. Faith in its full and pure form requires an unshakable assurance and absolutely confidence that God will hear our please and grant our petitions’ in his own due time. Believing that, we too can stand fast in the faith today and tomorrow. Sometimes God closes doors because something worse than we have experienced could happen on the other side. It matters not where we live nor what our individual circumstances may be. Each day our righteous living can demonstrate faith that sees beyond mortal heartaches, disappointments, and unfulfilled promises. It is a wonderful thing to possess a faith that enables us to look forward to that day when all that was promised the Saints will be given. “And as sure as the Lord lives, so sure as many as believed, or as many as were brought to the knowledge of the truth, through the preaching of Ammon and his brethren, according to the spirit of revelation and of prophecy, and the power of God working miracles in them,” Alma 23.6.  #RandolphHarris 11 of 11
