Letters to a Skeptic

Central to my thesis in this book is the necessity for transcending empirical exegesis and the psychological boundary imposed by this non-metaphysical analysis. Therefore, I demonstrate early on that if scientific giants such as Newton, Kepler, and Galileo believed in the Christian God and its associated Orthodox Mysteries, how then could one who has a less scientific understanding of the universe not believe that there exists something out there that is not comprehensible, God even, erewhile realizing I was arguing my point with an empiricist (Jerry), a person whose non-belief system has one key predicate: if it does not match my everyday experience, then it does not exist; therefore, is not believable, which is exactly why I knew it was futile to exploit alternative persuasive inductive and deductive logic to make the inherently unreasonable reasonable. Moreover, using this same train of thought, I then illustrated that even renowned skeptic, David Hume, notable Christian satirist, Mark Twain, and proclaimed Antichrist, Friedrich Nietzsche, all accepted a monotheistic God, the former two, especially later in life. I expound at length on Nietzsche for this same reason; here we have a proclaimed Antichrist, "God is dead" exponent, who so believed in God, in religion, that he devoted his entire life to restore its original tenet, and however counter-poised his efforts were, they always emanated from one central theme: to spiritualize the animal passions in order to feel the inner Jesus, the inner Buddha, the inner Dionysos/Ariadne! with an eye toward moving beyond himself by himself into the bottommost depths of being like a seed down under, hoping to emerge from this subterranean darkness a new sprout that can trust God and his unfashionable ways, an ideal he (Nietzsche) probably culled from John: "Most assuredly, I say unto you, unless a grain ofwheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain"(John 12:24). (This theme sums up the message of Dostoevsky's entire novel, The Brother's Karamazov, an author Nietzsche praised.
Now, after revealing the consequences of Nietzsche's death of the belief in God gesture, I unveil the cosmological Galactic Alignment Theory and its relationship to man and his/her chakras, powerful wheels of energy situated along the spine. Finally, to stretch one's Active potent Imagination even further, I explore Rudolf's Steiner's vision and illuminating exploration of the possible symbiotic connection we share with the cow, eagle, lion and butterfly. I conclude with the thought that it appears that not even Darwin could outrun God, let alone aforementioned Newton, Galileo, Kepler, Hume, Twain or Nietzsche.
To round out my central theme that God is Alive, I explore Jesus' visit to Egypt where he attended the Sacred School of Elihu and Salome in Zoan, the Orphic Mysteries, Francis Bacon and belief in God delving into Darwin's evolutionary theory (Tree of Life), and biologist Sean Carroll's questioning the accuracy of Molecular Systematics, and subsequently, the entirely of evolutionary theory.
