BEFORE TIME

Again, I have taken the opportunity to write what might be, but it is not to be taken as factual. It is to motivate you to think about just who you are — whether you esteem yourself beyond reason and so forth. It is humbling to realize that we might not be children of God but a hybrid of Adam and some other being whose thoughts could chill the hottest fire.

We are not the humane people that we think we are. Just look at the brutish battle ongoing in the Holy Land. How could children of God, whether Allah or Yahweh, perish one another so inhumanely?

Just as in all times, the victor in war reveals who has the stronger God. The hope of Christians should be that our God — the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — is the real God that is Almightier than Allah or any other ‘god.’

Now for time.

Time measures decay and death. Without life, time would not be measured and of no significance. Without animation — life — time would be stagnant. There would still be fire, wind, the seasons, and such; but none of it would be recorded except by the movement of the stars and the erosion of the Earth.

Even stars burn out as they decay in their own radioactive manner. Life exists because many ancient stars died to make carbon, not from nothing, as evolution proposes, but as the basic ingredient for making life. Indeed, fossil fuels are not from fossils but from dead stars!

The progeny of Abraham and the other patriarchs are likened to the stars in heaven. No wonder, carbon is essentially stardust and organisms are carbon-based. As such the stars were the ingredients for all the kinds whether vegetation or animals. The stars were before the foundation of the world or even our Sun of Moon. The apostle Paul addressed the significance of mankind: 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved. (Ephes 1:3-6)

 God blessed “us” whoever us is. Because He blessed us before the foundation of the world, it was not just Christians that were blessed, but mankind. Of all the various and diverse kinds, including the angels, God chose Adam’s kind!

Those spiritual blessings were in heavenly places. That seems to be Paradise in heaven before time began. Of all the kinds, God chose us before the foundation of the world.

Everything that God has done for mankind, as scripture reveals, is measured by time except for the Creation. That points toward time ask the dynamic for mankind and pinpoints God as the ‘Dynamis’ that makes all things happen. That dynamis, in the Hebrew, is translated as ‘Virtue’ or “Goodness.’

Life is dynamic because human beings were made in the Dynamic Image of God. Without life, the world would be kinetic — have motion — but motion without a purpose. Life made the world dynamic and with purpose.

God’s purpose for the world was us… all of Adam’s kind. In a modern translation, God said, “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jer 29:11; NIV).

Before the foundation of the world, long before time began, God planned mankind. Even after sin, God never dropped His plans for us; He still has a Plan! That Plan includes everyone, like it or not. As you read this, His Plan for you is developing, but God, because of His foreknowledge, although He did not dictate your own plan, knows the outcome.

Just as when you learned to ride a bicycle, your father knew beforehand whether you would ride or fall because he knew you; your Father in Heaven provides the motion, knowing in advance your character and whether you will ride with Him or fall.

Just as your own dad loves you either way, Father God does as well, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). God does not love the world in the sense of material things but the people of the world — His creatures that He planned before time. His love does not extend only to those who love Him but to everyone just because he blessed them before time.

Jesus pre-existed the world and time as well. (John 17:24). He planned us; not the Jesus of the first century A.D., but the “Jesus’ — the Word (John 1:14) that poured the foundation for the world just for us long before time ever began.

There were two components of Creation — the heavens first before the foundation of the world, then the world, from chapters one and two of Genesis, respectively. Heaven, or the unseen, was the beginning, or the first rank in making things. It was the basis for all material things which were of a second rank. Hence, chapter one may have been rank one and chapter two, rank two.

God did not judge mankind as more deserving than the other kinds. He Created us more fitting for eternal life.

God had said, “Let us make man in our Image, after our Likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth” (Gen 1:26). “Us” is not in the Hebrew. God made all things, so if Jesus was only a helpmate for God, then there would be two gods. Neither did the angels help God; in fact, some of them hindered God. That was the proof that John provided that the Word, ‘Jesus’ is the One God (John 1).

If man was made from clay, he was molded as man. “Dominion” comes from the root word meaning to tread down. God did not make many men and judge which was of the higher quality to be His Images, but made the prototype man, by treading down and compressing the clay into the mold. As such, Adam was the Image that God worked on to be glorious, not the other kinds. As such, neither angels nor animals were chosen or elected in some sort of lottery, but all Adam’s kind was intended to be made suitable enough to love, and as it turned out, even with flaws that were acquired by sin.

We often forget the ‘likeness’ when we focus on the ‘Image.’ Likeness is similitude, like God in outward appearance. Thus, the Image was like God in Spirit and Likness was with glorious flesh, like God’s.

Jesus put on the flesh of man, as the Son of Man (Gens of Adam), but before Jesus, the Word had divine ‘flesh’ as well. The Son of God (the flesh of God) appeared to Nebuchadnezzar in the fiery furnace and to Jacob as he wrestled with God. His flesh was somewhat different with the ability to be in the world and in heaven at the same time.

Perhaps, the original flesh of Adam who was able to see unto the heavens according to the Books of Adam and Eve, God told Adam after his nature changed, “"When you were under subjection to Me, you had a bright nature within you, and for that reason, could you see things afar off” (1 Adam and Eve VIII:2). That seems to be the supra-natural ability of Jesus before He came in our type of flesh.

“Afar off,” was movement between the world and heaven without any impedance. That is because in Paradise there would be nothing to impede… no great gulf nor abys between the two worlds.

Enoch, in his tour of the cosmos, implied that there was no barrier between the third heaven of Paradise in Heaven and Paradise on Earth (Enoch VIII). Adam and Eve, in their glorious state, could have traversed heaven and earth as they pleased. Perhaps they preferred Heaven but were cast out into ‘earth,’ or into the physical world.

If time began with sin, then before sin was before time. Perhaps when we (humans) were “blessed” before the foundation of the world, that blessing was the carbon sprinkled from the dying stars that became the foundation of us all… the carbon in organisms that are distinctively different between man and woman and the other kinds.

Apes were never part of the Glorious Plan of God, but the plan of Lucifer to diminish mankind to nothing more than a stooped animal. Gorillas are not human beings nor human beings, gorillas, and it has always been that way. There are no missing links; God made them each their kind!

As for Neanderthal ‘man’ he would not be a man because God did not mold it in the same fashion. That creature was somewhat less than man just as man is a little less than angels. As such, when that is written (Psalm 8:5), it pointed out the differences between the first two kinds, and projected forward’ each of the kinds not in the Image and Likeness of God were even more remote. In other words, God was not an ape.

Each species originated before the foundation of the world. God used carbon for them all, formed them into distinctly different chains, bound them together into cords, and put the cords in each nuclear cell of the body. Each of the species have their own distinct chain and each chain identifies each cell with all the characteristics of God, at least when mankind was glorious.

Note that apes and other animals are not so glorious. It is upright man that God marked as glorious.

Cain was the first mutation, or hybrid, and God marked him another way. Cain, as it turned out, looked like a man but behaved as a beast because the genome of Lucifer got into him via his mother, Eve.

Adam and his mate were made from blessings before time began, it seems, but Cain in the process of time (Gen 4:3), implying that time took its toll. Whether Eve was aged or not and had a deformed child, or whether the Wicked One actually fathered him is debatable, but Cain was marked with life so that he would not die (Gen 4:15). It could be the mark of God, but consider if it was the mark of the Beast.

That mark is unknown for sure, but because Cain was of the Wicked One, the mark would most certainly be in his DNA. Cain was somewhat different than Adam or his brother, Abel. He was neither the Image or Likness of God, Adam, nor Abel!

If the mark of Cain was the mark of the beast, that mark would be ‘666’ (Rev 13:18).  The carbon in all organisms has six electrons, six protons, and six neutrons. The mark might be in the DNA of Cain and his kind. Only the blood of Jesus with its DNA can overwrite the mark of the beast for the past sins of mankind — original sin (Rom 3:25).[1]

Cain was after time began and the ‘daughters of men’ that engaged the ‘sons of God’ made the ‘giantism’ of Cain part of the identity of the ‘sons of God’ who were Seth’s progeny. Not that giants means huge, but genetically different in some manner, and as found out centuries later the residual genes of giants still remained in some so-called ‘humans’ the Anakim (Deut 1:28).

“God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed” (Gen 2:8). Hence man, Adam, was a plant in the Garden of God, and He planted Adam “eastward in Eden. That seems to be directional, and it is, but again, it is not!

“Eastward” in the Hebrew refers to before time because the Sun rises in the east. God planted the Garden, not to the east of Eden, but before time. He took the soul that He had made of Adam (chapter one), added material, and then planted Adam as he did the trees of the Garden.

The trees, as well as the animals, would have been glorious as well — “very good” or perhaps the ‘trees’ were metaphors for other living souls. (As it turns out throughout scripture trees are metaphors for people, and the most notable is that Jesus is symbolized as the ‘Tree of Life.’)

The world is not just planet Earth but all material things. God must have planted the Image that He had molded of Adam in Heaven, alongside other living souls in that realm.

There may have been more little Adam’s planted before time began with only Abel, Cain, and Seth acknowledge as coming after time began. The Book of Jubilees, as well as the Books of Adam and Eve acknowledge twin girls of Cain and Abel but were there more? Yes, there were, after the others… in the process of time, “And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters” (Gen 5:4).

Therefore, there were other sons and daughters of Adam, and maybe they were the originators of the various races. Do not the races have different DNA and even look different than each other? It is unknown what race Adam was, but it was certainly the human race, not angels and not beasts. Whatever was the glorious race, none of us are of the Race of God! We all come short of His Glory — His Image, or His Genome.

Albeit there were sons and daughters after sin and in the process of time, did Adam and Eve multiply in the manner of God before time?

God made Adam by replicating Himself, and woman was made of Adam with his ingredients, ostensibly the DNA of Adam. It was not by planting a seed but grafting a ‘shoot’ from Adam that God also planted in the ground.

There was creation in the Garden after Adam was formed, and each ‘plant’ was before the foundation of the world, and before time began.

It might be there were many more glorious creatures that Adam and Eve multiplied from the souls that God supplied. In other words, there may have been, or maybe not, other ‘Adam’s’ before time began… his kind anyway. If so, was it just one man, Adam, that fell or all his kind? That leads to another question: If so, did they all look different than the prototypical Adam?

So, it appears that much happened before time began.  If, the time of man began with the sin of man, then perhaps many things were happening in nature before mankind sinned. That would mean that the world is not relatively new but fallen man is. Cain wandered the Earth, as his name means, and he was much different than glorious Adam.

Even his DNA might be different as explained. Could it be so different that early man-apes are just mutant human beings? If so, then man did not evolve from apes but apes from men. (I submit that prehistoric features do reveal themselves in some people.)

Everyone has DNA and each race of people has different identities that are encoded in their DNA.

They all had the same Adam, so why are they so different? Because of sin, time has made them less glorious until today, we all come short of the glory of God. Some seem to come shorter than others, but that is for God to sort out! In the beginning, we all were His kind — Adam’s kind before the foundation of the world.

If the ancient organisms are tested, would they be from before time or after time began? There was much going on before time, so carbon-dating could provide false proof, and inadvertently be just another cunning way that the ‘Serpent’ has devised to delude us.

---

[1] I believe the unpardonable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, or that phantom Image of Jesus in whose likeness the soul of Adam and us were made. Cain blasphemed the Invisible God, and he was marked outwardly. In some manner, his flesh was different, so different that only a blind man would kill him. In the end, according to sacred literature, blind Lamech killed Cain. Cain’s flesh would have been different than the other beings because he was not fully human but of another kind — another existence with different flesh. Hence, gene editing may be the unpardonable sin and ‘total depravity,’ as Calvinists call it.

TIME

 The wisest man on Earth appreciated time, and sung about it: 

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up… (Ecc 3:1-3)

 Life is measured by time. Time is more valuable than money. However, there was not always time! Time is a measure for people to prioritize their lives.

This chapter is about time and since time is abstract, there is some conjecture within these paragraphs. It does, however, make sense both theologically and scientifically.

Animals recognize the seasons, but humans, seconds. Each moment a human makes decisions that decide their destinies. If only I had done things differently is the usual refrain.

Each decision directs toward a different way, but all go to the same place. The destiny of mankind was always eternal but one bad decision made it limited. What changed the way we shall go? One momentous decision: 

When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. (Gen 3:6)

 She stood warned; that death would ensue, “You shall surely die” (Gen 2:17), but literally die, die. Why it is said twice in the Hebrew is unknown, but perhaps it was that both the body and soul would die. Indeed, their bodies began to wither at that moment and the clock was set. However, because of His mercy, the two did not die, die but God redeemed their souls.

“All the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died” (Gen 5:5). That should have been the epitaph for Eve as well, but there is none!

When Eve sinned, Adam sinned. The penalty, for justice to be served, would be the same. I submit that both Adam and Eve died at 930 years; they were of the same substance and would have withered, or decayed, beginning at the same time, and ending together because they were one flesh (Gen 2:24).

They also wore coats of the same skin for preservation (Gen 3:21). The best evidence is that they were cast into the same world, to the same environ, and digested the same food. There was no reason that Eve would have outlived Adam. What is missed in scripture is that Adam and Eve were not their names, but their kinds. Hence, both Adam’s lived for 930 years, and the clock began and ran out at the same time for them both.

The clock would run for 5500 years, according to sacred literature: 

“After these things the Word of God came to Adam, and said unto him:-- ‘O Adam, as to the fruit of the Tree of Life, for which thou askest, I will not give it thee now, but when the 5500 years are fulfilled. Then will I give thee of the fruit of the Tree of Life, and thou shalt eat, and live for ever, thou, and Eve, and thy righteous seed.’ (1 Adam & Eve 38:1-2)

 Was God speaking to the male alone or was that to include the female of his kind. Adam represents all of mankind. Both the woman and the man would be redeemed when Jesus came because both the male and the female sinned, both wore garments provided by God, and they were one flesh.

It appears that both the male and the female were redeemed at Calvary: 

The graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. (Mat 27:52-53)

 In sort of an inventory, God seemed to have used FIFO — first in; first out, or first to die; first to be resurrected and made glorious… for Adam and Eve, glorious again. Time withered them for 930 years, time preserved them for 5500 years, and time glorified them; not to be irreverent, but like meat jerky that is restored to its near perfect condition.

As such, because of grace, Adam and his other half did not die, die but died once. Paul wrote to those who would understand the Hebrew — the Hebrews — “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment…” (Heb 9:27). Adam and Eve died not twice, but once, then were resurrected never to die again after 5500 years of preservation.

God is a Tekton (Greek), not just a mere carpenter! God not only knew the science, but created all things, including the science.

Let me digress from time for just a moment. There was no impedance within the Garden of Eden because it was Paradise.

As it turned out, the only impedance was the wiles of the Devil. With that said, neither was there any decay nor any type of gravity in Paradise. The point made is that Paradise was in another realm with neither gravity nor decay, just like would be expected today.

When God made the trees and animals and such, he made Paradise in that realm very similar to the best of the best in the world. So, where was Adam and Eve cast out into? The world. In the world is gravity, the Sun, and radiation that would kill. The only Light that was in the Garden was the Light of God, albeit the Sun and Moon existed in the Cosmos.

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12). Jesus was of the world and was the Light therein. What was not said, is that the LORD GOD is the Light in another realm. As it turns out, the Sun and Moon will perish because in heavenly Paradise, the Godhead is sufficient Light.

Part of the glory from an earlier chapter is heaven — the place of glory, “The city had no need of the Sun, neither of the Moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof” (Rev 21:23).

That great city, once a Garden, will have the same environ as the Garden Paradise, perhaps because it is in the same realm all the time!

Again, time is mentioned. Time measures the interval between the generation of all things to their regeneration. As such, God’s Time is the “alpha and omega; the beginning and the ending” (Rev 1:8).

Adam was made in the Image of God so ‘Adam’ has a time as well — from their sin to their resurrection. The alpha of man was sin because that is when both their fleshes were corrupted. If they had sinned and remained in the Garden, it would no longer have been Paradise.

Although the ‘clock’ and ‘calendar’ were made in the sixth event, time would not be measured in the Bible until mankind began to die since it is to measure their lives. Time measures the rate that organisms wither and the rate of a carbon isotope becoming stable. Perhaps that is when the process of death comes to equilibrium.

Now for you who are literalists as well; ‘time’ is not mentioned in the processes of Creation. The Hebrew does not say day, hour, or even year. (Forget your King James Version and read the literal words of the Hebrew.) The Hebrew ‘yom’ can mean a day, but in general, it is a time of hotness and the “evening and morning” (Gen 1:5) a “warming” and a “twisting from the warming” (Strong 2006). In scientific terms, each so-called ‘day’ was a process in general, each of which may have been of different durations.

The first mention of ‘time’ comes later. After sin and them being sent out into the world, multiplication began. In the world, multiplication is life — growing the ‘crop’ outside the Garden. It was then that it was written, “And in process of time it came to pass…” that refers to outside Paradise in the world. Hence, time is for mankind to use in this world. Throughout scripture, all events are measured in time, but in the Garden there was no mention of it; perhaps because time on Earth is only for the rate of decay.

Something dire happened with the first sin; before Adam and Eve had divine glorious flesh like the LORD GOD’s; after sinning they were ashamed of their nakedness: 

And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.(Gen 2:5) (Before sin)

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. (Gen 3:7) (After sin)

 They were not ashamed because of what they had done but ashamed of their very different flesh. God had made their flesh glorified, but after sin, it had been transformed to decadency. [1]

Now consider sacred literature again: 

But as they felt great trouble from the food they had eaten, and to which they were not used, they went about in the cave saying to each other:

 

"What has happened to us through eating, that this pain should have come upon us? Woe be to us, we shall die! Better for us to have died than to have eaten; and to have kept our bodies pure, than to have defiled them with food."

 

Then Adam said to Eve, "This pain did not come to us in the Garden, neither did we eat such bad food there. Thinks you, O Eve, that God will plague us through the food that is in us, or that our inwards will come out; or that God means to kill us with this pain before He has fulfilled His promise to us?"

 

Then Adam besought the Lord and said, "O Lord, let us not perish through the food we have eaten. O Lord, smite us not; but deal with us according to Thy great mercy, and forsake us not until the day of the promise You have made us."

 

Then God looked upon them, and at once fitted them for eating food; as unto this day; so that they should not perish.

 

Then Adam and Eve came back into the cave sorrowful and weeping because of the alteration in their nature. And they both knew from that hour that they were altered beings, that their hope of returning to the Garden was now cut off; and that they could not enter it.

 

For that now their bodies had strange functions; and all flesh that requires food and drink for its existence, cannot be in the Garden. (1 Adam and Eve LXV:2-8)

 Their bodies, after sin and in the world, functioned very differently; that was their shame! That was why they made for themselves aprons. They covered their strange new faculties that were not required in the Garden. Maybe that validates that the Garden was only in heaven; that makes sense because their flesh was not conducive to things on Earth.

Now for some more conjecture: Kabala Jews believe that there were two creations. Indeed, there is a break in Genesis 2 where one ends and the other begins. Perhaps there was one Creation in two very different domains. As was written in an earlier chapter, the Image in which Adam was made at first was a phantom and to that was later added a physical image (chapter 2). Does it not make sense that Adam was made from heavenly ingredients because he was the Image of God? Thus, perhaps the two creations were (1) the heaven and (2) the earth, or the unseen and the seen — antimatter and matter in scientific terminology.

Our flesh and bones are vessels for the human genome. Referring to the creation of the female Adam said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called ‘Woman,’ because she was taken out of Man” (Gen 2:23).

That seems insignificant but the genders were mentioned, male and female. Genders are called that because of their genomes. They are much the same, but the female passes along mitochondrial DNA whereas the male does not, thus making Eve the mother of all living (Gen 3:20).

The flesh has the specific DNA of the kind in every nuclear cell. Bones do as well, but the quality of the DNA is preserved more so in the interior of the bones in the bone marrow. That Eve had the bones of Adam, perhaps the man and the woman were buried beneath Calvary. That may have great significance, especially since rebirth is engendered from (God) above. (It may be that the genes of Jesus corrected the bad genes of the two Adams as His blood made the propitiation for sins that are past, Rom 3:23).

What I am alluding to is that the Bible is all about genetics. That should be obvious in the name ‘Genesis.’ As such, ‘born again’ is a “Re-Genesis.”

The human genome is special. Adam was made the dominant kind (Gen 1:26). His was the chosen and peculiar genetics that all of mankind were intended to be. Becoming a Christian returns to that kind, “You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people…” (1 Pet 2:9), making a reference to Christians.

All that to say that human genetics are special and that when sin changed the genetics of God’s Images, they became decadent, or much depraved. Since original sin, depravity is in the genetics of all mankind for “all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God” (Rom 3:23).

Adam and his woman were made in the Image of God, and God is eternal. Mankind was meant to be eternal beings, and by grace the souls of mankind are eternal souls. Where do the souls reside after dying? — not die, die; but die once. That is the question.

Given that foul things cannot reside in heaven, then the flesh as it is now cannot go to heaven. To be made whole, is the process of glorification that begins with trusting God. Jesus changes the flesh of both the living and the dead with time… “in the twinkling of the eye” (1 Cor 15:52).

Since DNA is the double-helix of carbon atoms compounded by a sort of ‘glue’ when that bond loosens, then the organism dies. It is no longer what it once was. As such, death, for Adam and his mate was not cessation of life but the death of the flesh that covered the Image of God. In other words, death is when the divine being that God made looses the Genome of God and acquires the genome of the Wicked One. Adam and the woman died in the sense that they no longer were who they had been!  [2]

Solomon hit the nail on the head when he referred to death as a loosening of the silver cord (Ecc 12:6) — the dissipation of the human DNA as it may mean.

So, time possibly did not exist before sin, or either it was of no utility. Prior to sin, the genes would never die because of Paradise. In the world, the fleshes of the two would die but the coats of skin would slow that process in time. Those new skins belonged to God, and he protected the fleshes of the two.

Now for some science: Carbon-14 is an isotope of carbon that radiates. It, as such, is a type of invisible light that can be seen only by a detector.

Carbon-14 is a product of the environment of the real world. Exploding stars at their origin created carbon-14 from nitrogen. Likewise, the Sun intensifies carbon-14 by changing the nitrogen radical into carbon-14 radiation.

Radiation kills very slowly given minute quantities. Perhaps the ‘gift’ that Lucifer contributed to the world was carbon-14 radiation — dark light. It would kill the two very gradually. The carbon-14 would be breathed into every cell of the bodies of Adam and Eve and distributed to all the cells over time.

Think about that. God breathed life unto Adam and the Serpent, Lucifer, “the bringer of life’ would breathe death. Perhaps he brought to the world carbon-14. Regardless, the standard measure of ancient times is the dissipation of carbon-14 in organisms (DNA creatures).

Carbon half-life measures the time it requires for carbon-14 to lose half its intensity. The half-life of carbon is around 5700 years. Is that why Adam would be redeemed at half of his life (his flesh) after 5500 years? Coincidence? God does not deal in coincidences.

When Adam withered for 930 years, he looked very different, would he not? He went from a Jesus look-alike to a shriveled old man.

Time changes things and the carbon within him would show in his flesh. Not only that, but the gravity in the Earth would pull Adam down to the level of the Beast that “upon your belly shall you go” (Gen 3:14). Adam would be stooped in a fashion like the crawling Serpent, and at 930 years perhaps both Adam and Eve shed their skins like a serpent!

With that background, the hypothesis is that time did not begin with Creation, but with sin. When Adam sinned, the Genome of God in him (and her) would begin to die. The Genome of God never died; in fact when Jesus died, it was only the temporal flesh of God that gave up the Ghost — the real viable Image of God that is invisible to the world, but not to those with bright eyes.

Therefore, this year 2023 is not really Anno Mundi (AM) 5784. That time was established by the loosening of sand from sandstone. The real metric is carbon half-lives, making the time A.S. (After Sin).

Now for some further speculation. Time perhaps did not begin with Genesis three but Genesis four after sin… “in the process of time” (Gen 4:1). Since Adam would be redeemed by the blood of Jesus in 5500 years, then that date would be 33 A.D. Another half-life would be roughly 2750 more years. (2750-33=about 2720). Today’s time is 5500 +2023=7523 A.S. (After Sin).

Now what does 1-1/2 half-lives to do with scripture and the end of time? Consider the prophecy from the Book of Daniel about the end: 

And I heard the Man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when He held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by Him that lives for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when He shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. (Dan 12:7)

 A half-life and another half of a half-life is a time and an half. How obvious could God be about the timing of all things, and perhaps His ‘Clock’ is carbon-14 radioactive decay. If so, then we have very little time left, especially since nuclear war accelerates death by adding radiation to the atmosphere! It would speed up God’s timeclock!

So much for time; next consider the origin of the different species.

[1] Humans look beautiful by our own standards but when you think about it, we are disgusting! The hole that we cherish so much is right there with our garbage disposal hole, and according to the Law of God, our posteriors are not kosher. It was unlike that when Adams’ bodies were without digestive tracts.

[2] I believe the ultimate sin is gene editing because essentially that is what the Serpent did to the first two human beings.

Scripture, in the English, underestimates the Creation; it says, “God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day” (Gen 1:31). 

So much is in there: (1) God exists, (2) He has characteristics like us — “He saw,” (3) He created it all indicating that He was truly Almighty God, (4) and every thing theretofore was good. It goes onto say that it was finished, not in six days as translated, but six yom, or periods of hotness (Strong 2006).

Those periods could be seconds, hours, days, weeks, months, years, millennia, or eons. Whatever they were, they were all processes before time began. Shortly, that subject will be presented.

That they were “very good” is not quite accurate; things were meod tob, in the Hebrew… “vehemently good” (ibid) and done so with almighty energy. That seems to be the epitome of glorious.  

After six days of energy expended, God rested on the seventh period. That indicates something that few consider. It took virtue (goodness) to make every thing glorious.

When God came to Earth as a Man, He healed a woman with a blood issue, she was not glorious because something was wrong with her blood. Then she touched Jesus and, “Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that virtue had gone out of Him” (Mark 5:30).

Imagine the loss of virtue that the LORD GOD felt when He lost extreme, or vehement, virtue to create all things; enough that even God sought rest!

From the woman with the blood issue, it is learned that God lost virtue to fix her blood that was not right in some manner. The Greek word for virtue is dynamis — an extreme force, or power. Jesus had made the woman with the blood issue very good again, or ‘made whole’ as the case may be.

That woman “came short of the glory of God” like all others. When she latched onto Jesus, she regained the Glory of God within herself within her blood.

Jesus finally said to comfort the woman who sensed a change, “Daughter, your faith has made you whole; go in peace and be whole of your plague.” (Mark 5:34)… mastix in the Greek, literally whatever was eating at her. Jesus fixed her blood, and some thing indeed was eating at it, “…the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Pet 5:8).

It seems that her issue of the blood was spiritual as well as biologically for “made whole” repairs all things. In other words, the woman, before incomplete, was now made glorious, and then after raising the dead girl from her sleep, Jesus rested (Mark 6:2), just like He did in the beginning!

Jesus called her “daughter.” She was not His biological daughter but He had transferred to her a part of God. Daughter in that context is like ‘son’ — she was then of the gens of Jesus. He had made her whole by giving to her His genetics to replace what was missing on hers. She was ‘born again’  (John 3:7) by Jesus engendering her from above.

In that gospel story, ‘glory’ is defined by what it is not. Inglorious is having a blood issue. That issue is iniquity in the blood, what theologians call ‘original sin.”

Iniquity is depravity and any amount of depravity makes a person non-glorious. Like King David, everyone, due to original, or genetic, sin have depravity in their blood; in fact in every nuclear cell of their bodies. Since “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God,” (Rom 3:23), then everyone since the first sin are inglorious and each person has a blood issue. Sin is engendered in their genome (their corporate DNA), to speak in modern terminology.  In other words, the flesh of humankind is inglorious. That is what ‘glorious’ is not.

Adam was created in the Image of God. Since God alone is Good and without sin, Adam was created without sin.

Moses sang to God after deliverance, “Who is like unto you, O Lord, among the gods? who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?” (Exod 15:11).

Moses defined glorious for us: Holy, Awesome, and working wonders. Holy is without sin — righteous. Awesome is extraordinary — super or terrific, and working wonders is doing good things. God is glorious in that manner, and Adam was made in that Image. Adam (mankind) was made Holy, Awesome, and powerful, having dominion over all the other kinds. That sums up very good quite well.

But that describes only the nature of the original man. God is invisible so that is all that is required for Him to be glorious.

Just what was the Image in which Adam was made?

Scripture begins with, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Gen 1:1). The beginning, from the Hebrew, is before time or essentially a ranking — first things first. The first thing was creating heaven; that seems to be the event in Genesis chapter one. God created the lofty things first. The psalmist, probably King David, knew the answer to those things when he sang these words: 

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the Son of Man, that You visits Him? For you have made him a little lower than the angels and have crowned Him with glory and honor. You made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; You have put all things under his feet. (Psalm 8:4-6)

 Angels are immaterial. Man is Adam. He was made lower… just a little lower… than the angels and so was Jesus, the “Son of Man.” Jesus was made honorable and glorious and so was the first Adam. Adam was made without sin just like the ‘Last Adam,’ Jesus.

Adam was made innocent just like Jesus. He was honorable and recognized his place in the cosmos. He was not God, so he honored God.

 Adam was ‘upright’ both physically and spiritually. He, like Jesus, had no fault in him. Adam had no blood issues and no spiritual issues; he came short of the Glory of God in no way at all. Adam was already as God when he was created. The ‘Serpent’ suggested that Adam would become what he already was (Gen 3:5) — “as God.”

What made Adam lower than the angels? He was made flesh; “The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man (Adam) became a living soul” (Gen 2:7).

Implied therein was that the soul was formed first, part of the heaven in Genesis 1:1. His loftiness was made before his earthliness.

What was the Image in which the soul of Adam was made? Selem in the Hebrew — a ‘Shadow’ of God (ibid) — a phantom image of the LORD GOD. The soul of Adam looked like God, but was of no visible substance, at least in this domain.

Albeit invisible here on Earth, in the realm of heaven, it is clearly seen. Remember, what Eve said about their bright eyes that go with their bright nature (in an earlier commentary), well their souls could be seen because they were glorious!

Remember what Paul wrote? “For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made” (Rom 1:20). That applied to Jesus, to Adam, and to the other realm.

Adam was clearly seen although he was a mere phantom of God. In the Old Testament, the patriarchs clearly saw the ‘Shadow’ of God — the Word — as Jesus because they had bright eyes and bright natures. Suffice it to say that the woman with the blood issue looked at Jesus and saw God, and for that reason, she was made whole. The repentant thief on the Cross could see Jesus closely and surely saw the Shadow of God in Him, and as it turned out, the Holy Ghost.

Adam was created with the same Substance as Jesus. The phantom that was in Adam was the Holy Spirit of God which upon death would be Adam’s Holy Ghost. Of course, by that time, Adam had a blood issue as well because he had sinned. God put a ‘Band-Aid’® on Adam and Eve to keep them safe until they would be made whole when Jesus died for their sins.

As such, Adam was made glorious again because Jesus redeemed his sins. Hence, justification is making a sinful person holy and honorable again, not just as they never sinned, but like Adam was before sin.

The Image of God was the Spirit of God that took the shape of the man, Adam. The first phase of generation was that God made an invisible vessel in which to pour His Spirit. That vessel which Jesus called a ‘cup’ was then filled with the Spirit of God. The ‘Shadow’ of God took the form of the first Adam as it did the Last Adam.

What did glorious Adam look like? Look at Jesus; they have the same Genome of God. Was Adam handsome? He was brilliantly so, even more beautiful than the angels because He was more than a ‘Shadow,’ he was the Light of God that cast the Shadow of Him into Adam.

As a Shadow of God, how did Adam walk? Every move that Giod made, Adam would follow. When he no longer followed God, the Shadow disappeared in the presence of the false light of the Wicked One, and God could no longer be seen in Adam.

By grace, just as with Cain, God put a different skin (Gen 3:21), inglorious skin, on the male and the female so that those with dim eyes could see them and they would be safe, just as with Cain (Gen 4). That skin is what humans have to this day and it is not glorious but depraved and temporary.

What human beings are now is inglorious, bastard sons of the Wicked One. Look at human beings and you will not see glory! It is so easy to define what can be seen.

Perhaps God gave us flesh to reveal the lack of glory that we have. Flesh is ordinary, and Spirit extraordinary. Those who follow Jesus should be seen for what Jesus is making in them. They should shadow Jesus, and if they do not, then are they becoming glorious or are due for a spiritual ‘abortion’ on the part of demons — to be devoured by them?

Look at me and look at yourselves. We are not glorious. What glorifies those who shadow Jesus by walking the Way He walks? Death! (John 7:39; KJV). That is why in Christ, death is gain (Phil 1:21). Death reveals the glory of God in Christians when the flesh is gone or of no importance.

What does glory look like. On the mountain of the transfiguration, Jesus revealed to Moses, Elijah, and several of the apostles, His Glory. He revealed to them that He was the Shadow of God, and that God is the Light that cast His Shadow.

The repentant thief, the centurion who pierced Him, and Pontius Pilate saw the Glory of God come out of Jesus in the form of the Holy Ghost as His ‘cup’ was emptied and God was torn apart to reveal to those who questioned Him, the God within Himself.

So, what did the Holy Ghost of Jesus look like?

When Jesus was baptized, “The Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Him, and a Voice came from heaven, which said, ‘You are My beloved Son; in you I am well pleased’” (Luke 3:22). The Shadow of God in Jesus looked like both Adam and Jesus. It did not look like a dove at all, as so many of you have been misled. Their Holy Ghosts looked like themselves because their gens were both of God. It is not that there were two Saviors but one Savior and another who failed the temptations of Satan. Adam would not be the Savior God because he sinned, but Jesus was the Savior because He was without sin.

It is safe to say that glorious is without sin. it is in the same Image that was in Adam and Jesus.

Adam was gloried when he was created but failed, and he and his kind got an issue of the blood; we all have a blood issue and only the blood of Jesus will correct those sins that are past (Rom 3:23).

Our souls look like us. We were not made in the Image of God but were shaped in the image of the Wicked One (Psalm 51:5). It is Jesus that reshapes those who are willing to walk with Him. He takes our ‘cup’ that looks like us and reshapes it to look like Himself.

As such, Christians walk the Way that Jesus walked — all the Way to the Cross to be glorified, to wit: “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me” (Mat 16:24). Added was that “he that taketh not his cross, and follows after Me, is not worthy of Me.” (Mat 10:38).

How to see glory? Look at how Jesus walked and walk like Him; wherever He goes, you follow!

Where does that walk end? In Gloryland where things are much like things in the Garden. Like a snake, Christians must shed their skins to be like the Image of God in the flesh of Adam and to reveal their glory.

Suffice it to say, that glory cannot be seen without the Light of God.

Jesus said, “I am come a Light into the world, that whosoever believes on Me should not abide in darkness.” (John 12:46) Jesus is the Light of God that cast the Shadows. When there is enough Light and it is directly overhead, then there is no longer a shadow at all. That is what happened when things turned dark and back to light during the crucifixion. The Shadow was gone, and the Light revealed.

The onlookers saw one of two things: (1) a change in the world, or (2) that Jesus is God. The crucifixion revealed that the Man who cast a Shadow while on the Earth was the Light in Heaven. The Glory of God was revealed, and God showed them just who He Is. So, if you really want to know what glorious means, consider Jesus after He was crucified and walked unrecognized among mankind.

Like Jesus, Christians will be glorified in the twinkling of the eye (1 Cor 15:52) and our fleshes will be changed from corruptible to incorruptible and we will look like us outwardly and like Jesus inwardly… “the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

The flesh that God put onto Adam before sin was glorious. It was incorruptible but sin made it corruptible. It may be that Adam looked the same before and after sin, but the man inside had died and as soon as he realized it, along with Eve, they covered their newly acquired genitals.

The Books of Adam and Eve compared their original bodies with their changed ones: Before, they had no organs, not even digestive tracts. Food, if they ate would decompose, so in Paradise, they would not eat organic things that would decay.

But does not scripture say that they ate herbs (Gen 1:11)? No, their food was glossy, according to the Hebrew. What was glossy in scripture? Job understood! 

Has the rain a father? or who has begotten the drops of dew? Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who has gendered it?” (Job 38:28-29)

 That hoar frost was manna from heaven (Exod 16:14). It was the glossy thing that they had for food, and if it is recalled in scripture, it required no digestion to disappear.

There is no sexual intercourse in heaven. “In the resurrection (glorification) they neither marry (couple), nor are given in marriage (coupling), but are as the angels of God in heaven” (Mat 22:30).  Implied therein is that there is no multiplication in heaven except by converts from Earth. That was the intention in the Garden, that Adam would reproduce in the same manner that God reproduced him in the woman.

Also, implied is that since angels do not marry in heaven, in the domain if Earth, they can marry (couple) and did (Gen 6:4). As such, glorified creatures will never pleasure their flesh in Paradise, so if sex is your stronghold here, it won’t be there! Abstention is practice for that. Why would God want a man-whore in His domain?

There is much more to glorification than that, but it is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; just as with Jesus (John 14:6); it is walking with Jesus and doing things the Way that Jesus would do them. (It may be that Jesus never ate and certainly may not have drank; that manna from heaven was enough for Him. It was not His last supper, but the last supper of Judas; John 13:2).

Since glorification is somewhat understood, and a big part of glorification is that there will be no decay, then next time will be examined.

DEVOLUTION

Now we turn to the non-canonical Books of Adam and Eve to explain what happened with original sin — the first sin: 

Then Adam wept and said, "O God, when we dwelt in the Garden, and our hearts were lifted up, we saw the angels that sang praises in heaven, but now we do not see as we were used to do; nay, when we entered the cave, all creation became hidden from us."

Then God the Lord said unto Adam, "When you were under subjection to Me, you had a bright nature within you, and for that reason could you see things afar off. But after your transgression your bright nature was withdrawn from you; and it was not left to you to see things afar off, but only near at hand; after the ability of the flesh; for it is brutish." (1 A&E VIII:1-2)

 The nature of the two changed with sin. Their ‘nature’ therein went from their God-given constitution to something else that was ‘brutish’ — something typical of a beast.

Another explanation is that their fleshes became sensual. Before, the two had been as God and after sin, like the Beast to whom they were having intercourse with new knowledge (You fill in the type of knowledge yourselves while keeping in mind that it comes from the Book of Genesis, so it was genetic.); they were more instinctive and sought to appease the fleshly desires.

Now refer to the flipped diagram of evolution from the last commentary. By flipping the artwork, it is mirrored. Rather than evolution of ape to man, the chart becomes the evolution of man to ape. “And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord” (Gen 4:3). Apes came from man but so did manlike beings; perhaps Neanderthals and so forth.

Cain was of the Wicked One (1 John 3:12). Cain was genetically of Eve and the Beast. How humiliating is that? Eve was the “mother of all living” (Gen 3:20) and Cain’s humanity came from Adam via Eve, since Eve was of the kind, Adam. However, Cain was also of the Beast and degenerated into the image of the ‘Serpent’ — the Beast.

The Beast was not some snake but had the cunning like that kind. (Gen 3:1). The Beast was an angelic being that had rebelled against God, ostensibly rejecting the Image of God that had been within himself. (Note that personal pronouns are used but the Beast was an ‘It’ (‘Is in the Hebrew), or another kind of existence that was demonic in nature.  

The Beast is called, ‘Satan’ because the angel, ‘Lucifer’ is an adversary of God (Isa 14:13-14). Satan was originally only in Cain’s kind genetically, thus ‘Genesis.’  Only God is all-knowing and always present, but Satan is present in the genes of human beings. Now how meek are you?

The word of Satan is in your genome… in your DNA. With that now known, it should make clear the meaning of Jesus’s Words: 

You are of your father the Devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:44)

 So, you think that you know the truth although you are not a Christian? A Christian has the Word of God within, from the genes of Jesus. Everybody is born in sin, “For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God” (Rom 3:23). The Word, “Jesus,” is the ‘Glory of God” as Stephen explained.

“Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people” (Acts 6:8) spoke about Jesus, “being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the Glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God” (Acts 7:55).

Jesus is the ‘Glory of God’ but what made Him so? His body, flesh, and nature are from the very Image of God —  a ‘Son’ in the sense of genetics.

How could Jesus be both God and the Son of God? Not by birth but because the Image, or Genome, of God was in His flesh. In other words, the DNA of Jesus was the DNA of God, therefor the genesis of God is what the Bible is all about; Jesus coming into Being was in the process of time, or ‘genesis.’

With Jesus’s dead, the genesis of the Old Testament was finished. Jesus finalized the genetics of God when on the Cross, “He said, ‘It is finished’ and He bowed his head and gave up the ghost” (John 19:30).

That brings the reader full circle from the first Adam to the ‘last Adam” (Jesus; 1 Cor 15:45) back to the first Adam. Adam was not the name of the first man nor the last ‘Man” as Jesus identified Himself as the ‘Son of Man’ (Mat 8:12). By that, Jesus meant that both Himself and Adam were of the same genes, or of the same posterity, both the posterity of God.

Adam and Jesus were both of the gens of God and made in the Image of God. He and Adam were ‘sons” of God genetically, and so are all righteous people for even Adam was made righteous by God’s infusion of His Glorious Genes into his flesh (Gen 2:7).

Sin despoiled the genes of the female Adam, then she infused mutated genes into Cain. Satan put guile into Eve and somehow her nature was changed from God’s (Selem) to the Beast’s (Nahas).

The Hebrew word ‘selem’ means a ‘shadow’ or ‘phantom;’ hence Adam and his mate had God within their ‘shadows’ or ‘souls.’

Nahas was the original Hebrew letter nun, and its hieroglyph is the snake. Therefore, the image of Lucifer was not a serpent at all; that was only the hieroglyphic for cunningness, or the nature of the Beast.

The “Beast’ was only a beast in the sense that its kind was not the Image of God (selem) but another sly image (Nahas). That explanation should erase the mythological component of the Judeo-Christian religion.

That is the background for what comes next: the first Adam was made Glorious. and all the children of Eve ever since come short of that Glory. In other words, mankind degenerated.

As David so aptly admitted, his excuse for coming short of the glory of God was that he was “shapen in iniquity” (Psalm 51:5). He was formed in the womb depraved, and not glorious. David knew that his flesh was that of the Beast and that sin is genetic. To be straightforward, ‘mankind’ is no longer mankind but alien to God.

Speaking to the Ephesians Paul wrote about the Gentiles, “Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them” (Ephes 4:18).

Gentiles are those with the gens not of the Israelites. They were not chosen nor peculiar people but ordinary people whose gens were of the Wicked One. Paul knew that they were people alien to God and that their nature was dark and in the image of the Wicked One.

God had reconstituted the genetics of the progeny of ‘Father Abraham.’ Because Abram had passed through the fire of Ur, he was old and impotent. Sarai was barren. Thus, Isaac was reconstituted as another ‘Adam.’ Gentiles were not reconstituted; they remained of the Wicked One.

The entire Bible is about degeneration and regeneration. The deluge of Noah’s day was the destruction of the genes of the wicked ones because they had become totally depraved and were wantonly sharing deviant genes with the daughters of men. Giants had shared their carnal knowledge with the ‘sons of God’ (Gen 6:4), not God’s actual sons, but the few remaining of Seth’s line with the Genes of God in them.

Thus, the flood was all about man-improvement just like the blood of Jesus was propitiated for “for sins that are past” — genetic sins (Rom 3:25).

As Eve pointed out, she and Eve from the start had bright natures.

In the Books of Adam and Eve, Adam encountered Satan who explained that it was him who beguiled Eve, posing as a serpent. He, or ‘it,’ explained to Adam both his fall and why we all fall; "Therefore did I fall, and did I make you fall by that for which I myself fell; and with you also, whosoever accepts my counsel, falls thereby” (1A&E LVII:6). The nature of the Beast got into the Garden, into the female Adam, and into all of Adam’s kind through Eve. Satan was truthful enough that he admitted that it was genetic. To be genetic, he must have come unto Eve in the same manner that the daughters of man were came unto (Gen 6:4).

You should really feel meek by now; neither you nor anyone else are ‘children of God’ but ‘sons of Satan’ because Satan is in our genomes! His will is our will, and it is his will that we do instinctively.

Satan deceived Eve into thinking that her DNA would make her offspring gods. That was the cunningness that made him the ‘Serpent.’ Finally, he revealed the truth — they are not gods nor even belong to God, that they are his progeny.

Since mankind degenerated, they had not evolved in a positive sense; they had devolved, evolving toward the worse. The process in time was by the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Something was lost in the process of time that could not be recovered given no outside energy. Then came the flood and the lost beings were simply flushed down the drain like any waste. God had disposed of the carbon-based organisms, and the carbon chain of Lucifer was broken.

Not only does thermodynamics refute evolving toward the betterment but so does Holy Scripture. Glorious Adamah (the male and female) had devolved into inglorious aliens in generations in the process of time (Gen 5).

Adam devolved in 930 years (Gen 5:5); he went from glorious to dead. His DNA, once eternal, had lost its potency. It became inglorious with sin, and in one generation, the kind with dominion was no more.

Adam’s genes were meant to be dominant but with sin, the Serpent’s became more dominant, and God’s less so, or recessive. It was not that Adam was totally depraved but enough of the gens of God made him worth saving.

So, God put onto Adam and Eve coats of skin (Gen 3:21), implying that he infused their existence with His Genome. He began the regeneration process which would be finished at the crucifixion wherein Adam was surely resurrected with Jesus (Mat 27:53). Adam was finally redeemed by one like he had been in the beginning. Just how was he and Eve in the beginning?

THE BIG LIE OF EVOLUTION

 Science is an ‘organism’ in itself. Of course, organisms have the capacity to live and grow.

Science, in the embryonic stage with the ‘Age of Enlightenment,’ has grown into a self-serving monster that gets more gigantic with each new thought. Yes, you read it right; the thoughts of men make the ‘mega-monster’ grow!

Theology is one body of knowledge that is the same on each page of the Bible which has continuity over time. What is true today is true tomorrow. Truth is independent of time and the thoughts of men; the truth was revealed to Isaiah by God that “as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My Ways higher than your ways, and My Thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isa 55:19)

In plain English, just as the cosmos is higher than the surface of the Earth, God’s Invention is higher than the invention of the people of the Earth.

God’s ‘Invention’ is this; “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth,” meaning that they were His Invention and not anyone else’s! He Thought a Divine Impulse and whoof, the creation process began.

Several versions of the Bible interpret the Divine Impulse in this way, “No prophecy was ever borne of human impulse; rather, men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Pet 1:21). The Holy Spirit silently speaking to the souls of mankind is the Divine Impulse, not the words nor thoughts of men.

The Thoughts of God are Divine Impulses, and since His Thoughts are not the thoughts of men, then mankind only receives Divine Impulses and are not able to send them.

Scientists received an impulse from space just a few days ago. A scientific paper describing a new law was printed whose author was Robert Hazen:

Titled the ‘law of increasing functional information,’ it holds that evolving systems, biological and non-biological, always form from numerous interacting building blocks like atoms or cells, and that processes exist - such as cellular mutation - that generate many different configurations. Evolution occurs, it holds, when these various configurations are subject to selection for useful functions. (Dunham 2023)

In short, all things evolve, not just organisms. Hence, the theory of evolution has been extended to include all things, not just carbon-based plant and animal life.

According to Hazen, “It holds that complex natural systems evolve to states of greater patterning, diversity and complexity. "We see evolution as a universal process that applies to numerous systems, both living and nonliving, that increase in diversity and patterning through time.” (ibid).

Science has looked for this law for quite some time, and only now has it occurred to them. Somebody got the bright idea that all things improve over time from a lower state to a higher state. They needed to find that new law because the Second Law of Thermodynamics contradicts the theory of evolution. See how: 

Entropy is central to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the entropy of an isolated system left to spontaneous evolution cannot decrease with time. As a result, isolated systems evolve toward thermodynamic equilibrium, where the entropy is highest. A consequence of the second law of thermodynamics is that certain processes are irreversible. (Wikipedia 2023)

 Systems move toward equilibrium where entropy is highest. ‘Entropy’ is basically losses. What is lost cannot be recovered, according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Thermodynamic processes require energy and time to reach equilibrium. Neither can they be recovered. Hence, once a state is lowered in the process of time, it must remain at that lower state forever. Carbon decay is the best example, and ultimately that is how time is measured.

The law of entropy was a high hurdle that evolutionists had to overcome. ‘The Law of Increasing Functional Information’ easily overcomes the law of entropy. Now, not only can organisms evolve but so can anything, living or not!

That law is a giant stretch for mankind because now, rather than evolving from basic cells, they can evolve from chaos. That new law changes the nature of the universe; rather than transforming from order into chaos, that theory has just changed the nature of the entire cosmos, and diminished God even further!

Evolutionists contend that basic things evolved into higher things. That seems to be true when technology is examined, but that is not the evolution of man but the evolution of invention. Given one man and one woman, it would be unlikely that technology would be as advanced as it is. However, given billions of people, it is multiplication that increases invention. In other words, one Einstein would not be enough. On the other hand, One God is enough to make all things.

Hence, mankind has not evolved, but the body of knowledge which has been compounded over time. Because the world is higher tech now does not mean that the brains of humans have gained intelligence.

Indeed, the angry protesters prove that people are as dumb as their ancient ancestors who rebelled against the order and law of the Garden of Eden. In fact, the population of the earth has devolved as brutishness has compounded over time. Whereas before, they might throw stones at each other, now they fire atomic bombs at the earth. Mankind has not evolved but weaponry and ill-will have!

With billions of people in each generation, knowledge has certainly evolved. Adam and Eve had only a ‘good’ body of knowledge, and once they encountered an alien species, their knowledge increased; thereafter their body of knowledge included evil things. Their minds had been expanded by an inhumane impulse, but their natures degenerated from glorious to inglorious.

Most people gloss over the concept of glory. ‘Glory’ is the splendorous state in which Adam and his mate were created. They were created in the Image of God, “God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them” (Gen 1:27). What is that Image of God? “Behold, the Lord our God hath showed us his glory and his greatness” (Deut 5:24). That is the Image of God and the image in which mankind was made. Adam and his wife were glorious and great like God.

Hence, God is the Prototype of our species. From that reference, it cannot get any better! Humans cannot be improved beyond that, so those who trust God for regeneration must be and will be ‘glorified’ — made again in the Image of God. The King James Version translates that as “born again” but it is literally “engendered from above” (Strong 2006).

The progenitor of mankind, as they are called today, was not the man, Adam, but the woman. As such, we are not so much Adam’s kind as Eve’s who was the “mother of all living” (Gen 3:20). That is now believed to be scientifically true because only the female of the species passes along mitochondrial DNA and everyone living today is from Eve.

Something happened with original sin. A new ‘existence’ resulted from carnal knowledge, “Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord” (Gen 4:1). Literally Adam saw his wife, who conceived, and bare Cain, who she called an ‘Is (pronounced eesh); and which means ‘extant’ (Strong 2006). Cain was another kind of creature, not Adam’s kind, but her new lord’s. Guess to whom Cain belonged. “This is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. not as Cain, who was of that Wicked One…” (1 John 3:11-12).

Cain was a being that evolved from the Wicked One. It was not positive evolution but devolution in that Adam endeavored to love God, but Cain did not.

Love, or goodwill, is the characteristic, or nature, that God intended for His man, Adam. Mankind was meant to love others as God loves us.

Therefore, on the scale of truth, the metric to meet the humane kind is goodwill for others and God because Goodness is the Divine Nature as well as the Divine Impulse of God (Mat 19:17). Cain was meant to be good like Adam had been and like God in whose Image he should have been, if it had not been for the Wicked One and sin.

Cain became a hater and killed with impunity. His nature devolved from humane to brutish. He was more like some other being than man! Whereas God generated Adam and Adam passed along his goodness to Eve, the Wicked One made Cain a ‘degenerate,’ not totally depraved, but mostly so.

Science considers genetic improvement a matter of intelligence. For instance, men are homo sapiens — wise men. However, apes are of the genus hylobates., or ‘forest walker.’

Note that Adam was a ‘garden walker.” Gardens indicate order and civilization, whereas forests jungles that are without order.

Is it coincidence that Cain was cursed to wander the land of Nod? (Gen 4:16) which is not a certain place but anyplace outside the Garden of Eden — a jungle out there. Is it coincidence that Nod means ‘wandering’ and that apes are primates that wander jungles?

What is inferred therein? That sin caused Adam’s kind to become a lesser species. Scripture points, not toward evolution to higher orders, but devolution to beings lower on the scale of taxonomy classifications.

In modern jargon, mankind in one generation had become more brutish. Did man evolve from apes or apes devolve from man?  That will be examined more.
