Did Life Originated from Lightning on Some Primordial “Soup”?

 

Did Life Originated from Lightning on Some Primordial “Soup”? 

 

 

There is a very interesting article I have received in my computer when I opened it on Thursday, 15 April, 2021.  

 

 

Did lightning help spark life on Earth?


https://www.space.com/life-on-earth-sparked-by-lightning

 

My answer straight away is neither electricity nor lightning is the spark of life.

 

There is something far more than electricity that gave life. So far no one has been able to provide a satisfactory definition, let alone explain (at least to me) what exactly is life?

 

Is life something that is residing inside a body that gave it the definition of a living organism as something that respires, produces, feeds, responds to stimulus, shows movements and locomotion…etc”?

 

There are now over 100 definitions being offered on the definition of a living organism, but these definitions merely describe the properties and characteristics exhibited by something that is living or being alive.

 

 

But it is not the definition of life itself. Then what is the “vital force” or some kind of “energy” or “qi” whatever it is that causes it to exhibit these living characteristics?

 

To me life is definitely not some kind of chemistry or biochemical reactions either taking place in a physical body.

 

Neither is life something that causes DNA to become so intelligent, to be able to assemble, dissemble by themselves, to change, to duplicate, to mutate, to reproduce, including its ability to reverse a chemical pathology in certain diseases often seen in a living organism.

 

If life is just DNA and biochemistry, the question I like to ask is, then why did those chemistries instantly stops when its “life energy” leaves their chemistries?

 

 

After all, according to some scientists, life is just DNA and chemical reactions taking place in the body and nothing else? If that is the case, chemistry is chemistry, strictly according to the laws of chemistry.

 

The reactants in them merely react with each other according to the laws of chemistry and nothing more.

 

In a living body all the biological reactants – nutrients, electrolytes, salts, enzymes, hormones, proteins expressed by the DNA…etc. should continue even after life leaves these bio-chemicals if they were just chemistries?

 

In short, they should be able to proceed on their own based on known laws in biochemistry, and the organism should be able to continue to “live”?

 

 But why then did they all come to a grinding stop instantly if life is just electricity acting on the DNA, nucleic acids, sugars, amino acids, ATP, ADP, or just energy-rich phosphate bonds molecules…etc.?

 

 

Neither are nucleic acids that make up the DNA and RNA by themselves are alive. They are just chemical foot-prints of the existence of life, but not life itself

 

 

Neither can life be defined by the numerous metabolic pathways or molecular signaling we all learn about during our undergraduates in biology, biochemistry, medicine, nutrition...etc

 

 

If life is just these metabolic pathways, then why don’t they just continue to proceed without something “higher” to controls them?

 

 

Of course as someone trained in the working of a living body as in physiology, we understand that the presence of electricity is vital in the pumping action of the heart as clearly shown in ECG where mini electric impulses are conducted through the cardiac muscles via a network of conducting pathways beginning from the upper chambers (atria) of the heart  in the  sinoatrial (SA) node, then down to the lower chambers (ventricles) through the bundle of His located at the anterior-inferior end of the interatrial septum, into the ventricles  by the purkinje fibres found in the sub-endocardium.

So does electricity causes the brain and nervous system to function as shown by their presence in electroencephalography (EEG) which is an electrophysiological electrical activity demonstrated on the scalp, and also in neurotransmission.

 

Small amount of electricity in a human body and in other animals is essential for life to exist. Cells throughout the body including those in the brain and nervous system send out electrical signals making it possible for the body to move, think and feel.

 

The cells use elements like sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium in the form of ions as electrolytes with specific electrical charge to generate and to control the flow of electricity throughout the body.  Cells  are protected on the outside by a cell membrane made up of up of lipids as  a barrier that only allow certain substances to cross to reach the cell interior as well as to generate electrical currents. 

 

Resting cells are negatively charged on the inside, while on the exterior they are positively charged. This charge separation allows charged ions to flow in and out of the membrane. The flow of charges across the cell membrane then generates electrical currents in a living body.

 

 

This effect of current flow in cells is called polarization and depolarization in which opposite electrical charges are found on either side of a cell membrane causing a potential difference between what is inside and outside the cell. Depolarization is when the charge outside the cell membrane changes from positive to negative charge and from negative to positive charge inside the cell.

 

Neurons in the human brain receive electrical signals from other cells.  The neural extensions called dendrites receive and send out information to other cells for them to respond correctly.

 

However it must be noted that the electricity essential for life is very small in mill volts and does little harm. In fact if a current of about 0.25 milliamperes (mA) is applied on the arms or legs, we can feel a tingling sensation. But when we increase the current to more than 10 mA, it causes the flexor muscles and fingers to contract making the fingers to unable to release the source of current, thus causing shock, electrocution and death instead of giving life.

 

There is also no way we can raise up a dead body by passing electricity through it.

 

 

In the link above it talks about lightning in which the voltage is extremely huge triggering off life. This is contradictory to what we, or at least myself know.  

 

An average lightning flash is about 300 million volts and about 30,000 amps. Such a powerful charge or surge in electricity is highly incompatible for life.

 

Even a normal household current of just 120 volts and 15 amps can cause electrocution and death let alone lightening sparking off life.

 

Although mini amounts of electricity are essential for life for biochemistry to be possible through exchange of ions, that does not mean life is electricity or life is electricity on bio-chemicals in the body.

 

The article I received:  Did lightning help spark life on Earth?” in the link above, reminded us of a famous experiment conducted by Stanley Miller and Urey in 1952 where they tried to stimulate conditions they considered may be seen during the time when atmosphere and oceans were formed 4,200 million years ago in his attempt to explain the chemical origin of life

 

What Miller and Urey did was they used water, methane, ammonia and hydrogen and sealed them inside a 5-litre glass flash and passed continuous electricity into the flash to simulate lightning in the primordial atmosphere on Earth.

 

After a day, the solution collected at the trap had turned pink in colour, and after a week of continuous sparkling, the solution turned deep red and turbid. 

 

Miller analyzed the composition of the product from sparkling using paper chromatography and found five amino acids – glycine, alpha and beta and possibly aspartic acid, and alpha- aminobutyric acid on the chromatographic paper

 

In a 1996 interview, Stanley Miller stated: "Just turning on the spark in a basic pre-biotic experiment will yield 11 out of 20 amino acids."

 

Again these chemicals present in life do not mean they are life nor have life in them. They are just lifeless organic compounds as present in all life. They are just some of the chemical ingredients of life as life foot prints, but they are not the “energy” or “life force” itself.  

 

It is just like buying a piece of meat from the market that has all the chemical ingredients in them – amino and nucleic acids, DNA, sugars, salts and electrolytes, enzymes, hormones…etc. including cells and tissues in it

 

Such a meat is far better and complete than what Miller could produce in his laboratory, but that piece of meat is still dead.

 

So our question still remains – what then is life “residing” in them that make them living within the definition of life characteristics?  

 

It is definitely neither electricity, nor they organic molecules. Neither is it the effects of electricity or lightning on any organic bio-molecules.

 

At least to my thinking, there must be an unknown non tangible “force” or some kind of “energy” higher than just electricity or lightning

 

I don’t think we can ever have the answer

Iodine-based throat sprays 3 times a day to "kill" Covid-19 viruses?

 

I received this claim from friends in my WhatsApp chat group seeking my opnion:

 

https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/health/throat-spray-and-hydroxychloroquine-found-to-reduce-risk-of-covid-19-infection

 

 

My comment here:

 

I think people are now getting very desperate trying to look for any cure for Covid including asking people to spray povidone-iodine into their throats three times a day.

Iodine is a poison and should not be sprayed indiscriminately into sensitive areas like the throat, eyes, nose, or where the pharynx or airways are located. That’s my view.

 

Side effects using iodine-based medicines include skin irritation and often inflammatory response. If used on large wounds, it may result in hypertension and cause the kidneys to fail, besides causing metabolic acidosis.

 

It is also not recommended in pregnant women or those taking lithium. Those with hyperthyroidism or a hyperactive thyroid, the use of iodine sprays on sensitive mucosa is contraindicated.

 

Povidone-iodine is a chemical complex of povidone, hydrogen iodide, and elemental iodine. It contains 10% Povidone, with total iodine species equaling 10,000 ppm or 1% total titratable iodine. It works by releasing iodine to destroy bacterial pathogens.  



Spraying the throat with any iodine solutions is not normally advisable or practiced because the pharynx is a common area where the trachea leading to the airways and lungs is, and also into the esophagus then into the stomach


Once we spray tincture of iodine or povidone-iodine or any alcoholic solution of iodine into the pharynx, the iodine-based vapor will inadvertently enter both into the lungs and stomach

On entry into the airways and lungs the solution will decompose and deposit insoluble iodine crystals into them probably may cause iodine-induced pulmonary fibrosis and other effects unknown to us together with the Covid-19 virus which is also inhaled.

 

Tincture of iodine and provolone iodine are normally used against bacterial infections for wounds and cuts, and it has never been used against viruses


I think we will just unnecessary damage the lungs literally by spraying and inhaling iodine 3 times a day for unlimited period


Not just that alone. Iodine in alcohol or combined with organic compounds,  like chlorine and fluorine  is a powerful oxidizing agent by realizing free radicals  to kill bacteria and pathogenic organisms, but we are unsure about  viruses that are actually non-living protein particles.  That’s why tincture of iodine or provolone iodine in solutions is used for wounds.

 

Furthermore iodine solutions and sprays may have a damaging effect on sensitive mucosa lining on the throat and into the entire airways, and into the lungs due to its astringent and free-radical effect. Why do they want to damage the lungs further when this virus is also attacking it?


If they want to do use all these poisonous agents, they might as well spray the throat with dilute solutions of hydrogen peroxides

 

 But the safest is to inhale pure warm steam with mixture of natural anti viral aromatic oils added into the hot water, and then fortify the pulmonary system with vitamin C and cod liver oil containing vitamin A and D.

 

These vitamins especially retinol (vitamin A) will increase the ciliary sweep of any dust, mucous as well as Covid virus out from the airways into the stomach where the virus is destroyed by the powerful gastric juice, and then into the intestines where further action by proteolytic enzymes will digest the protein spike of the virus.


The bronchi in the lungs are lined with hair-like projections called cilia that sweep bacteria and viruses and debris upwards and out of the airways. These cilia have goblet cells that secrete sticky mucus to protect the lining of the bronchus by trapping bacteria, viruses and dusts.

 

Steam inhalation using anti-viral oils added into the boiling water is a much safer and more effective method than spraying iodine solutions into the throat that will then find their way into the lungs.  

I do not think this is the way to get rid of Covid. I really think researchers, doctors and scientists are teaching the desperate public not only the wrong approach, but also an unsafe practice.

 

These iodine-organic complexes will finally decompose leaving behind crystalline iodine into the lungs and this may cause iodine-induced pulmonary fibrosis over a long period


I think people are now very desperate how to deal with the Covid virus. They are now coming up with all kinds of concoctions to "kill" this virus that was purposely put here to get rid of us and our overpopulation

Believe me we have lost our directions. Researchers, scientists and doctors may have a lot of knowledge, but I think they lack wisdom. They are literally blind to reality.

Wisdom is a gift given to by our Creator that cannot be acquired by learning in any university. A university can give us a lot of knowledge, but never wisdom. Both are totally different qualities

 

The public also believe in drug and vaccines produced by companies that brain wash them about their products such as using iodine sprays to "kill" the corona virus inside the throat

Trust me. I do not write this from my own strength.  I am nothing without Him guiding me.

 

The problem with scientists and doctors is that they do not realize they have been used by the Intelligent Designer who is far, far, far, far more advanced and intelligent than them.

                                  

He gave them a thinking brain to acquire scientific knowledge (not wisdom) in a university to think how to invent drugs and vaccines to destroy themselves and finally the entire human race.

 

This will help the Creator to fulfill His decree on Earth by accelerating the decimation of the world population by a third periodically with their "brainy" products.

 

Their brains have been deliberately programmed without them realizing it. But they think they are smarter than the Intelligent Designer by fighting with Him. But they have been used by Him for the purpose of destroying themselves.


Additionally, their brains have also been washed by drug companies to  prescribe  all kinds of "fantastic" drugs, and vaccines and to use all sorts of concoctions

They only think they are fighting with a virus, but they don't realize their brains have been used and programmed to destroy themselves

Trust me I have been unknowingly led to learn two very relevant courses in evolutionary biology and evolutionary medicine and later into astrobiology to understand this, just in time before this pandemic so that I can write to convey this message.


All this while they have been living like a frog-in-a-well looking high and low for the origin of this virus, blaming the Chinese in Wuhan lab for creating them when most viruses were already here 4.5 billion years ago

But they were all blind, not knowing that it was our Intelligent Designer who created us, has also put this virus here to stay.

 

Even if they think this virus did not originate from another world which I know for sure, but from Wuhan or elsewhere on Earth, still it was the Intelligent Creator who gave these scientists a brilliant thinking brain how to create this virus on Earth and use it to destroy themselves so that at least one-third of the population will periodically be cut down to reduce over population at the expense of other life forms the Creator also have created. They too have the right to stay here.

 


What right has we to get rid of other species for us to claim this planet is only for humans? We are destroying everything at the expense of all other life created 4.5 billion years ago

Why do we need iodine, baricitinib, bevacizumab, chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin colchicine, favipiravi, Ivermectin, tocilizumab, dexamethasone,  remdesivir, and sorts of vaccines to “kill” this virus?


The Covid-19 virus too has the right to stay here with us on this planet

Worlds and Powers Far Beyond Ours

 Worlds and Powers Far Beyond Ours

                                      

lim ju boo

 

This article is dedicated to all who believes in Christ Jesus, our Lord as our only Saviour.

 

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day” (Genesis 1:1-31).

 

“By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible” (Hebrews 11:3).

 

“For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things were created through him and for him” (Colossians 1:16).

 

“I made the earth and created man on it; it was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host” (Isaiah 45:12).

 

Before we write further, let us have a short glimpse of part of the early timeline on evolution on Earth beginning from the Big Bang when the Universe was created 13.8 billion years ago. The timeline in creation for evolution is extremely long, and we shall not include all of them here. Only a fraction of the early part will do. 

 

If the age of the Universe at 13.8 billion years was just one day of Creation of God, then a 100 years of our lives lasts for just 6.3 x 10-4 second (0.00063 second).

 

But if the age of Earth at 4.543 billion years was just one day in Creation, then 100 years of our lives last just 1.9 x 10—3  second (0.0019 sec) or 0.002 second 

For a thousand years in thy sightare but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night”  Psalm 90:4 (King James Version)

 

The Evolution of Creation:

 

13.8 billion years - Creation of The Universe

4,500 – 4,400 million years ago - Accretion of Earth. This was 9,300,000,000 to 9,400,000,000 years after Big Bang. Time taken for accretion of Earth was - 30 to 40 million years

4.543 billion years ago – Earth was formed

4,200 million years ago - Atmosphere and oceans form

4,000 million years ago - Prebiotic chemistry became possible

3,800 million years ago - RNA world shown by the first chemical fossil available (viruses)

3,600 million years ago - the first DNA protein life came into existence

3,500 million years ago - LUCA: Archaea / Bacteria spilt and also photosynthesis (autotrophy) began

2,700 – 1,900 million years ago - the first eukaryotes / sexual reproduction became possible

 

Let us skip 1,358 million years in between 1,900 – 542 million years ago and go into the Cambrian Radiation when most life almost suddenly mushroomed for 54 million years just like a Day or a watch in the night in His eyes. Life on Earth emerged out overnight like flowers in a field

 

(Mya = Million years ago)

 

542 – 488 Mya – The Cambrian Radiation began

525 Mya - Earliest vertebrates appeared

440 Mya - First vascular land plants emerged

425 Mya - First jawed vertebrates came in existence

420 Mya - Earliest terrestrial animals came in being

396 Mya - First insects appeared

365 Mya - Plants evolves seeds and first tetrapods were found

354 Mya - Insects took flight

350 Mya - First land-swelling vertebrates surfaced

240 Mya - First dinosaurs appeared

                

Let’s us now again skip another 238.2 million in years in between and let us go into pre-human-like hominids and of the era of great apes, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans.

 

1.8 Mya - Homo habilis out of Africa. Homo habilis is a species of archaic human from the Early Pleistocene of East and South Africa about 2.3–1.65 million years ago (mya). They are called “handy man”

1.6 Mya - Homo erectus in Asia

600,000 years ago - Human / Neanderthal spilt

500,000 years ago - Homo erectus use fire

355,000 - Homo heidelbergensis footprints was found

200,000 years ago - Anatomically modern human emerged

250,000 – 160,000 years ago - Homo sapiens appeared, possibly the time Adam and Eve were created as well.

120,000 years ago - Homo language was possible

100,000 years ago - Wolf / dog split

79,000 – 15,000 years ago - Start of Wisconsin glaciations

50,000 years ago - Humans migrate from Asia to Australia

45,000 years ago - Megafauna extinction in Australia

30,000 years ago - Human migration from Asia to North America

14,000 – 10,000 years ago. Domestication of dog and Megafauna extinction in North America

 

But I think it was not after some 148,000 years later after the appearance of Homo sapiens as humans that real agricultural life began. Let us use this date as the beginning of primitive civilization.  

 

12,000 years ago - Early agriculture began

8,000 years ago - Domestication of cattle

6,000 years ago - Domestication of horse

3,000 years ago - Iron tools was used

 

The Art of Healing:

 

After human agrarian life came the art of healing. The earliest healing art using prescriptions appeared in the 3rd millennium BC, and during the Third Dynasty of Ur (c. 2112 BC – c. 2004 BC) during the Neo-Sumerian Empire.

 

The oldest Babylonian texts on medicine dated back to the Old Babylonian period in the first half of the 2nd millennium BCE, namely the years between 2000 through 1001 BCE.

 

We may say medical practice based on prescription have occurred 4,000 years ago, and that was 2,000 years even before Jesus Christ who was the greatest all Healers till today

 

When Jesus came to this world He showed us He did not use prescription of medicines or drugs or use any kind of surgery like we do today

 

Modern Medicine:

 

Modern medicine started to appear only after the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century when there was rapid growth in economic activity in Western Europe and the Americas.

During the 19th century, economic and industrial development continued along with many scientific discoveries and inventions. Scientists and physicians made rapid progress in the science of diagnosis and in the prevention of disease and began to understand how bacteria and viruses work.

Modern medicine today is based on our understanding of anatomy, physiology and biochemistry, and more recently on our knowledge and advances in genetics and molecular biology and in surgery.

 

 In short, we are getting less and less holistic in our approach especially using mental, social and spiritual approaches but relying mainly on pharmacological products and intervention to block, inhibit or replace a chemical pathology.

 

In order to write out a prescription we need first to do a proper diagnosis through history taking, clinical examination, various types of biochemical, hematological, serological, microbiological examinations and other tests, often together with various types of radiological examinations, imaging and scans, and spend huge amount of time scribbling notes on them at the expense and money of the patient. 

 

Chemical Drugs that Don’t Cure:

 

In other words we treat the working of a human body as some kind of a biochemical machine that needs to be investigated oiled physically, and biochemically. In so doing, we treat a living body like some kind of living biochemical machine by using drugs to alter a chemical pathology of the body.

 

All medicines are essentially organic chemicals that can alter a pathological chemistry as well as with a normal biochemical pathways of a living body, but these synthetic chemicals were given a glorified and well-hidden name as "drugs and medicines." But chemically, they are all chemicals that react with the normal as well as the chemical pathology in the body.

 

As a former medical scientist, medical researcher and physician myself I have a reservation and a second thought if we are taking the right direction in treating a patient solely with chemical drugs when the patient actually never get cured, let alone completely healed especially for chronic, degenerative and lifestyle diseases like diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular, renal, autoimmune diseases…etc.

 

We are just suppressing the disease from bouncing up and masking their symptoms as cries for help by using the chemistry of drugs on the body, but ultimately these disorders will emerge out together with some other linked diseases somewhere else in the body for which more drugs and prescriptions are needed because the root causes were never treated. Drug do not and cannot treat or manage bad lifestyles, dietary insults and dietary injuries  

 

Another way to put this is, if we are just prescribing some drugs we are just treating the body physically and biochemically like some kind of chemical machine that needs some oiling without considering a person as a living body that has a physical body, together with a mind, a spirit, and a soul.

 

In this respect, there is a vast difference between healing, curing, treating and managing a person who is ill. See my personal my personal journey as a patient on treating, curing, managing and healing here:

 

https://scientificlogic.blogspot.com/search?q=healing+curing+and+treating

 

Jesus the Greatest Physician of All Times:

 

This experience and thought brings me back to 2,000 years ago when Jesus Christ came and was able to heal not treat or manage a disease wholesomely without oiling and cutting so unlike we do today.

 

Nowhere in the Bible was it mentioned Jesus was a doctor who treats and manage a disease using medicines and drugs or a knife like we do.

 

Jesus clearly was a Healer, not a medical doctor. The only physician among 70 disciples and 12 apostles appointed by Jesus was Luke who may have been a Gentile. But we have no clue how Luke treated or cured the sick?

 

Perhaps Luke did this by using herbal prescriptions since the art of treating the sick with medicinal plants were already known 2,000 years before Christ or even earlier in the 3rd millennium BC.

 

It is so clear Jesus heals the sick and blind in an entirely different way so unlike the traditional or modern ways we do. The Bible always uses the word “heal” performed by Jesus. It never use the word “treat” or “manage” a disease given by Jesus.

 

He heals the blind, deaf and the mute, the paralyzed, those possessed by demons, maybe of unsound mind, He also healed the man with dropsy, a woman with a bleeding disorder. He also healed the mother of Peter's wife lying in bed with a high fever.

 

He healed the man with a withered hand, and countless lepers, and a boy possessed by a demon. How did He do all these without using any prescription, drug, medicine, herbs or using a knife to cut open? What's even more amazing, His healing was instantaneous, or need any of all those follow up in the next appointment like we do. Amazing!  

 

Even all those who merely touched the edge of his cloak were all healed of their various illnesses, What was even more awesome - He even raised the dead. Absolutely and completely no man before after Him, whether prophet or non-prophet was bestowed such horrendously awesome powers. Only unto Him was this power given. 

 

Nowhere in the Bible does it say Jesus treats or manages the sick, blind, the mute or paralyzed. Neither does the Bible say Jesus uses medicines, drugs nor the knife to “manage” the sick. Clearly Jesus was a Healer extraordinary from another world so unlike our medical doctors here on Earth.

 

Jesus was not a doctor, a clinician, a scientist or a medical researcher. He was far, far from being one. He did not use any drug, medicine and chemicals of all kinds, lab tests, imaging and scans,  radiotherapy, surgery and vaccines...etc., either for diagnosis, treatment or for prevention of diseases like we do.

 His words and other miracles alone were as awesome as His healing powers.

 

 The Man Born Blind:

 

In the eyes of our modern medical doctors the method of treatment Jesus used was highly unscientific, dirty and unhygienic by spitting on the ground made some mud from His spittle and apply it onto the eyes of the man born blind since birth.

 

We will then say that such method should never be condoned and practiced and earthly laws need be used on anyone who practices such treatment because as doctors we are far more knowledgeable and much more superior than Jesus.

 

But Jesus healed a man born blind from birth by spitting on the ground, made some mud with His saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes and told him to wash in the Pool of Siloam. So the man went and washed, and came back seeing.

(John 9:1 – 8)

How about that? 

 

His "Primitive" Healing vs. 

Our Treating in Modern Medicine:

 

The question most of us who think too much about ourselves by boasting about our scientific methods especially the ophthalmologists and medical doctors would be asking how did Jesus do it by merely splitting on the ground, made some mud out from His saliva, anointed the eyes of the blind man, and asked him to go the Pool of Siloam and wash, and was completely healed (not cured, treated, or managed or given some medicine, and asked to come back again for follow up) of his total blindness since birth.  

 

In the eyes of our modern medical doctors the method of treatment Jesus used was highly unacceptable, very unscientific, dirty and unhygienic by spitting on the ground mix some mud with His spittle and apply it on the eyes of the man blind since birth. They would say such method should never be condoned and practiced.

 

Also they will say that Jesus is not qualified to practice medicine, and we should not condone such practices, and that earthly laws need be used on Him or anyone who practices such treatment because as doctors we are far more qualified, far more  knowledgeable and much more superior medically than Jesus?  Is that the way we think about our arrogant and conceited self?

 

When Jesus clearly demonstrated that healing of diseases do not require drugs, medicines, lab testing, scans and imaging…etc using scientific methods as we know them. He already showed us that somewhere outside this world there must be the existence of horrendously awesome powers far beyond our understanding for which He brought to this Earth over 2,000 years ago to show it to us. His system of medicine puts our 21st Century medical knowledge and method extremely primitive, far more primitive than we look at Stone Age methods of life 8,700 BCE ago.

 

He clearly showed to us such method healing do exist, and the way it should be done without using anything, and for this we are in no position to question Him or His “unscientific method.” Who are we?

 

 Perhaps in 10 million years from now if our civilization still exist, this may be revealed to us, we may be able to know how to harness this power of healing that does not require any drug, surgery, organ transplant, gene or stem-cell, radiation therapies, and all these modalities   

                            

Our Egotistical Nature:

 

That man was born blind, and despite Jesus highly unscientific and unhygienic and “unproven method” that man was completely healed of his vision. Can any of our 21st Century arrogant and egotistical doctors do this as Jesus did 2,000 years?

 

That very miracle in ophthalmology 2,000 years ago humbles us – at least to me greatly. Whatever that was, scientific or unscientific, hygienic or surgical, that man received his vision totally – and that’s what matters to most of us, and that’s what we are more interested. We are not interested in our boastful knowledge in science, medicine or surgery   

 

We would then say that Jesus highly unscientific way of treating a person blind from birth should be done in a proper way by using surgery, eye transplant including transplanting the entire second cranial nerve (optic nerve) up to brain, or use gene therapy, stem cell therapy, laser treatment or to apply some kind of special medicine, or some herbs or nutritional supplements to take as the “proper way", and not by spitting on the floor and use the spittle and mud to apply on the eyes of a blind man. We will say that is not the proper way to treat a blind man. We are completely not interested in all those technologies our doctors do as long as we are still blind. 

 

Our “fantastic” ophthalmologists today can boast all their “high tech medicine” but they still would not be able to  bring back the sight of that man blind from birth. Jesus merely did it by spitting on the floor and anointed mud on his blind eyes and asked him to wash it in the Pool of Siloam. 

Whom do we now expect us to believe – Jesus 2,000 years ago, or our 21st Century “fantastic doctor of medicine”?

 

Awesome Powers:

 

His powers are so awesome He need not even need to go there to see the sick and dying.

  “So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee. … And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

“When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. …

“Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.

“And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.”

 

(John 4:46–47, 50–51.)

 

His Humble Ways:

 

Jesus as the Greatest Healer of all, using such humble, “dirty and primitive” method humbles us, or at least me greatly. He has clearly shown to us healing does not come from this world that require "fantastic" and expensive drugs, medicine and surgery, but down-to-earth simple, humble and “dirty” method brought here into this world to show us. 

 

As a former medical researcher myself, this message is so lucidly clear to me, but I am unsure of other doctors who think highly and mightily ourselves. 

 

To me his touch, simple, humble and meek method of healing the sick, blind and paralyzed instantly without any need to follow up as we do humbles me greatly.

 

How should we not help but adore, exalt and worship Him to the highest? He is certainty our love beyond our comprehension  .

 

His healing clearly showed us we were all wrong using earthly scientific methods as this is the only method we can see and understand. 

But we as doctors, scientists and medical researchers we are all blind, as blind as that man born blind. I feel very sorry for myself too to be trained that way. There are powers and worlds elsewhere in heavens we cannot see and understand.   

 

 He did all His complete healing – the body, mental, spiritual and soul as well as as complete well-being without even needing any of these “scientific methods” – history taking, clinical examination, using blood tests, serological and immunological, microbiological, radiology, imaging and scans – all  based on some kind of biochemistry, pathology, genetics, cellular and molecular biology and then writing long, long  notes about all these “fantastic” investigations 99 % of the time that are all a waste of time that serve no benefit to the patient.

 

It is so obvious at least to me, Jesus was endowed with some supernatural powers far, far above Science can understand. We must understand He is Son of God, no less, and we need to respect and worship Him for His highly “unscientific method” He is from another world who came to our world to be born for our sake.

 

Forces of Healing and Life-Giving: 

 

Perhaps as doctors, scientists and researchers ourselves we never realize there must be some powers, forces and energies existing beyond what we know or can detect and measure. Let me give an example.

There is method of treatment called “Touch Therapy”

Accordingly to Timothy J. Legg, Ph.D., CRNP who wrote in Healthline, these approaches all operate on the hypothesis that the body has a natural energy field that ties into the mind-body relationship and plays a part in wellness.

According to the theory of energy healing good health is established when energy easily flows and floods the body. Any unevenness or disturbance in the energy flow can contribute to illness, pain, mental health symptoms, and other distress disorders.

Practitioners of touch therapy use their hands to maneuver and direct the flow of bio-field energy— right through the body in order to support healing and restore the body’s own capability to heal itself

 

 The Therapeutic Touch:

Therapeutic Touch was developed by Dolores Krieger in the 1970s. Practitioners may not actually touch the patient during the therapeutic session. Instead, they hold their hands a few centimeters above the body probably to allow the practitioner’s own bio-field energy or drawn from the cosmos through his hands to flow into the patient's body. It is some kind of healing field we cannot understand.

Others are the Healing Therapy developed in the late 1980s by Janet Mentgen that combines a number of energy healing practices, including chakra connection and lymphatic release. 

Some of these touch therapies do lay hands on the patients, while others merely directs the energy flow from either from their own body or through their body.

 

Alien Worlds beyond Ours:

 

In order for us to understand beyond science, let us look at how and when the Universe and other worlds beyond us were created.

The first stars did not appear until perhaps 100 million years after the Big Bang, and almost a billion years later before galaxies became to exist throughout the Universe.

 

Stars were formed from massive clouds of dust and gas in space. Gravity tugs the dust and gas together to form a protostar. As the gases accreted together, they get hotter and hotter to start off a nuclear fusion. A star is formed when it is nuclear reactions begin.

 

Since star formation depends very much on the size, mass and density of gas clouds in the region, and since various estimates between 100 million to 250 million years after the Big Bang, this works out to be between    1.37 x 1010 to 1.355 x 1010 (1,370,000,000 to 13,550,000,000) years ago.

 

Let us use 200 million years after the Big Bang on an average for stars to be formed. This works out to be 1.36 x 1010 (13,600,000,000) or 13.6 billion years ago.

 

Let us now use Earth’s accretion of 9,300,000,000 to 9,400,000,000 years as an example. It took about 100,000,000 after Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago as an example for it to begin to accrete to estimate the age of other worlds.

 

The accretion of Earth took place 4,500 – 4,400 million years ago. This was 9,300,000,000 to 9,400,000,000 years after the Big Bang.

 

It took Earth 30–40 million years to accrete completely from smaller 'planetesimals'.  It was formed almost simultaneously, within tens to hundreds of millions of years after the Sun was formed. But that was “just a watch in the night” in His eyes. 

(Psalm 90:4).

 

 If we subtract 9.3 billion to 9.4 billion years as the time of accretion of the Earth from 13.8 billion years it works out to be 4.5 – 4.4 billion years after the Big Bang before the Earth could be formed. That is the age of this world

 

This calculated age of the Earth we do here as we typed the results of this calculation where we estimate Earth to be 4.5 to 4.4 billion years ago years old coincides with the more accurate 4.543 billion years determined by using other geological and radioactive methods. It is also about the same length of time taken after the Big Bang for the formation of Earth. What a coincidence! 

 

Using the age of Earth as an example, we may more or less estimate the age of other worlds at about 4.5 billion years old.

 

But how long would it take for life evolved in these worlds to become highly intelligent civilizations?  

 

Currently we have no answer because we have no clue what life is in other worlds. It is not possible for us to compare life here with theirs since we have not much understanding what life is, how life came into being and how much time is needed to give birth to a highly advanced and intelligent civilization. 

 

We cant use our yardstick here in this world to measure theirs. Their life forms may be entirely different from ours. Theirs may be spiritual not material - we do not know with certainty 

 

Physical or Spiritual Life in Existence:

 

It may not be necessary that life has to be in a physical form made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and other atoms to make up nucleic acids and DNA as we know it since we do not have an acceptable definition of life, despite over 100 definitions of life been offered world-wide. 

 

The formation of the Universe, the subsequent gas clouds, then the stars and the galaxies are all physical in nature. But it is not necessary life was formed  has also be the same material as the stars despites claims we were made from star dusts  from remnants of some distant supernova explosions. But life is some kind of spiritual force we cannot understand, and hence their existence may have been eternal without a material body in other worlds 

 

Since life is an entity we cannot measure, it may have long existed even before the creation of the entire physical Universe. If there are very advanced intelligent life or civilizations out there they may have exist among an estimated 40,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (40,000 billion, billion) worlds spread out across the 93.016 billion light years chasms of His Creation  

 

Earth-like worlds in the Universe may have been existence more or less about the same time as Earth 4.5 billion years ago.

Recently Scientific America published an article asking:         

 

 When Did Life First Emerge in the Universe?

 

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/when-did-life-first-emerge-in-the-universe/                                                                                       



This question by Scientific America was published about 2 weeks after I wrote this article where I visualized one step beyond mere physical life as we know it. It was quite interesting to read and think about it instead of thinking we are the only civilization in this horrendous immensity of heavens.



I think we need to rethink if the origin of life elsewhere in this Universe came only after the creation of the Universe. My nagging and very uneasy feeling is, life as some kind of entity trapped in a physical body yet to be defined acceptably may have already been in existence in a non-physical form together with a Creator  even before He created time, space, matter and energy through the Big Bang.

 

  “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God”

 

(Psalm 90:2).

 

 Such non-physical entity such as a soul trapped in a physical body may not even require physical needs like food and water for eternal existence.

 

In Revelation 21:1 it is foretold:

“Then I saw ‘a new heaven and a new earth,’ for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.” 

We know the sea is our main source of water supply through rain in the water cycle.

Their civilizations may be as old as their worlds at 4.5 billion years compared to our earliest Mesopotamia civilizations that first appeared in Mesopotamia (now called Iraq), then in Egypt. Other early civilizations flourished in the Indus Valley around 2500 BCE, in China in about 1500 BCE

 

Here on Earth it was 12,000 years ago for early agriculture, 8,000 years ago for the domestication of cattle, 6,000 year ago for the Domestication of horse and 3,000 years ago for humans to use iron tools

 

Life as we know here on Earth may be entirely different in any one of the 40,000 billion, billion other worlds spread across the 93.016 billion light years 

 

That is not a small number by any standard. It is 4 x 1010 (4 followed by 22 zeros). Why must we think we are the only one here with life and civilization existing?

 

In 1961 by Frank Drake, an American astronomer and astrophysicist involved in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) wrote out an equation to stimulate our thoughts on the existence on the numbers of intelligent civilizations elsewhere in the Galaxy

 

Their Science and Technology:

 

Their civilizations, science and technology can exists at various levels in unspeakable numbers and in different combinations and permutations. They may not even require science or technology as we know as Jesus showed in His healing without using medicine or anything at all,  or calms the storm (Mark 4:35-41) or when He walks on the water (Matthew 14:22-33) among many other miracles.

 

Their level in the elixir of healing, whether or not they need science, technology, or for medicine for them or even if they use them for life eternal would be tens of billions of light years beyond ours. Life and civilization across such immense chasms in time space and dimensions would be far, far beyond even our most spine-chilling dreams.

 

Remember, we are not dealing with just a few millions, but a real possibility of 40,000 billion, billion or even far, far more different types of worlds where life was already in existence in physical and non-physical forms even before the Universe was physically created 13.8 billion years ago. 

 

It is not necessary these worlds need to be there first before life can exist to live on them. Life forces may be ubiquitous and permeating throughout time, space and dimension even before the physical creation of this Universe 

 

There are at least 10 verses in the Bible that tells us of His powers, and also the powers and principalities in heaven, many too are evil forces for which must be careful. Their existence was already there even before time, matter, space and dimensions.  Some of these verses are here:

 

“For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him”

 (Colossians 1:16).

 

 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places”

 (Ephesians 6:12).


“in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:2)

 

“So it will happen in that day, That the Lord will punish the host of heaven on high, and the kings of the earth on earth” (Isaiah 24:21)

The House of the Lord:

 

It is not necessary like houses here on Earth that need to be built first before we can shift in to stay. We could have been born elsewhere decades ago and lived years before we shift into our new houses somewhere else. So can them.  

 

Life there in these grotesque worlds and civilizations may be eternal, with no ills and pain or death or even do they need for food and water as we know it. We are being blinded to be unable to look across the other dimension as long as we are trapped in our physical body that has a soul, mind and a spirit that no earthly science is able to detect, let alone measure.

 

Jesus, the Son of God Himself admitted His kingdom was not from this world (John 18:36).

 

According to Arthur C. Clark, the science-fiction writer, science writer, futurist, inventor, undersea explorer, and television series host, he said that Jesus was a genetically-engineered human-alien hybrid sent to Earth to teach the primitive Humans a lesson of love and tolerance. But I am not sure about this.  

 

I only know Jesus is not of this world. He came to this world only for one main purpose to save us all from eternal death by giving us life eternal through His Love, Sacrifice and Blood if we believe in Him.

 

He clearly showed this to us through His love, compassion, humility and miracles even 2,000 years before we exist.

 

How else shall we love and understand Him. He came to our world, and we are not alone among an estimated 40,000 billion, billion other worlds of untold types and numbers of other life forms, spiritual and physical inhabiting this Universe His Father God created? He has many mansions and rooms in any of these worlds there waiting for us.

 

But God exists and lives outside His own Creation as much as a developer here build houses for us to stay, but he himself stays elsewhere probably far, far away probably in another city from the housing estate he built for us.

 

Heaven is just His throne where He sits, and not His dwelling place, neither this world, nor any church we care to build in His name or for Him.

 

Thus says the Lord: “Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest?” 

(Isaiah 66:1).

 

I am truly humbled by the Eternal Love of God, and by the sacrifice of His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ who suffered so much for us to be brought here into our world from His heavenly world to show us His humble ways how we should live our lives in this temporal world for the sake of our eternity so that we can stay in the many rooms, mansions and worlds He created and reserved for us.

 

“In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you”  

(John 14:2)

 

Summary:

 

 We started off with the creation of the Universe 13.8 billion years ago, followed by the accretion of Earth 4,500 to 4,400 billion years ago which was 9,300,000,000 to 9,400,000,000 years after Big Bang.

We then look at how Earth was formed 4.543 billion years ago, followed by the formation of the atmosphere 4,200 million years ago, before prebiotic chemistry became possible prior to the emergence of RNA and viruses.

We next look at how protein-based life and DNA came into existence 3,600 million years ago

We followed that by briefly tracing the emergence of humans, his civilization and agriculture on Earth before looking at the earliest art of healing using prescription in the 3rd millennium BC, and during the Third Dynasty of Ur (c. 2112 BC – c. 2004 BC) during the Neo-Sumerian Empire.

We then went down the road about 2,000 years later when Jesus came to this world to show us how the practice of medicine should be done that do not require a single bit of those lab investigations, scans, equipment,  drugs and knives we use today.

He humbled us and our 21st Century knowledge in the science of medicine through His “primitive and unhygienic” practice of medicine which was tens of billions of light years ahead of ours in His world.

The ball is now on us how we need to look at our future while the Sun still shines for us to redeem ourselves.

The Sun was already there created for us over 4.6 billion years ago by destroying and sacrificing itself through hydrogen into helium conversion at a rate of 4.26 million metric tons per second, just to pour out an energy equivalent of 384.6 septillion watts (3.846×1026 W) so that light and warmth can be given to us and to all living creatures He created in order that even the meekest and poorest of all creatures and life He created can be blessed for them to flourish and to inherit this world.


For this sacrifice, the Sun has already aged somewhere midway through its life just for us. It still has about 5,000,000,000 years more to go before it dies into a red giant.

On the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (HR diagram) that study our Sun and stellar evolution by plotting the temperature of stars against their luminosity or the colour of stars (or spectral type) against their absolute magnitude, the Sun is on the main sequence with a luminosity of 1 and a temperature of around 5,400 Kelvin.

This means with 5 billion more years to go before it dies we still have lots of sunshine in our lives to think and rethink it over how Jesus came to our world to be born here, showed us the way to live humbly as He did, showed us His awesome powers, His love, forgiveness, his pain and sacrifices so that we can have a place in His Father’s kingdom  

Let us believe and accept Him as our only Saviour to be sacrificed as a Lamb of God here in our world.

Why must He like the Sun that was also sacrificed, if not for His and His Father’s immense love for us so that we may live.


Above all, I thank Him for unknowingly moving my hands to write in His honour. 


May this be so for all of us!
