"Wisdom crieth without" - Global Food Balance

Global Food Balance

The global state of import and export of foods is as follows as of 2003:


Region/Nation............Export............................Import

JAPAN.........................0.3 million tons............24.36 million tons

China...........................1.33....................................84.5

South East Asia.......1.04....................................30.18

Africa.........................4.33.................................57.14

US.............................106.91................................5.79

Australia...................19.55..................................0.12

Brazil........................64.5...................................8.6

EU.............................28.08................................25.8

Russia ....................18.55................................1.65


The total amount of import of foods in Japan, China, South East Asia, and Africa is 196.18 million tons.

The total amount of export of foods from the US, Australia, and Brazil is 190.96 million tons.

There is a balance between total import and total export in above figures.

If this balance is lost, Russia might make up for it to a certain degree, but other European countries than EU members might further rely on Russia in their acquisition of foods.

Now CO2 is causing global warming, but it is not a primary source of heat.  In winter when the sun, the major source of heat, provides less energy on the half part of the earth at issue, CO2 cannot provide heat to the winter part.

Put extremely, the mechanism causing global cooling or a mini ice age has almost nothing or little to do with concentration of CO2.  The earth gets into the phase of global cooling with or without CO2  At least, till CO2 becomes extremely abundant in the air over a certain degree, it will not stop the effect of global cooling caused by other factors of the earth.  

So, the winter becomes cooler while the summer is hot due to higher concentration of CO2 in the air.  The world seems to be in this state now.

The point at issue is that the progress of hidden global cooling, if any, might cause more unstable condition of the climate.  It might result in a great famine and a huge shortage of foods.

So far as now, we have to only hope that the US, Australia, and Brazil can cope with this climate crisis.

The Pacific Ocean has a warm temperature mode and a cool temperature mode, and in the past century, has switched back forth between these two modes every 25-30 years (known as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation or PDO). In 1977 the Pacific abruptly shifted from its cool mode (where it had been since about 1945) into its warm mode, and this initiated global warming from 1977 to 1998. The correlation between the PDO and global climate is well established. The announcement by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory that the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) had shifted to its cool phase is right on schedule as predicted by past climate and PDO changes (Easterbrook, 2001, 2006, 2007). The PDO typically lasts 25-30 years and assures North America of cool, wetter climates during its cool phases and warmer, drier climates during its warm phases. The establishment of the cool PDO, together with similar cooling of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), virtually assures several decades of global cooling and the end of the past 30-year warm phase.

American Judaists and American Dream

Judaists in America are absolutely unique people in the world.

They might play a key role in the future of mankind, since God might judge the whole mankind through Judaists in America.

AMERICAN JEWS IN DENIAL ABOUT GOD
Exclusive: Joseph Farah reveals 'supernatural reality of Israel'
Published: 10/08/2013 at 5:01 PM 

While finding a supermajority (82 percent) of white U.S. evangelicals believe God gave Israel to the Jewish people, the survey reveals only 40 percent of American Jews believe that. 

Even discounting the fact that 23 percent of American Jews say they don’t believe in God, with another 5 percent declining to say, evangelicals still believe the reconstituted state of Israel is a gift from God in bigger numbers than Jews (82 percent to 55 percent).

If Judaists believe in American Dream more than their historical glory as the elect chosen by God, something terrible might happen.

18 Statistics That Show What It’s Like To Be Jewish In America In 2013 

The Pew Research Center released a survey of American Jews Tuesday.
A Portrait of Jewish Americans survyed 3,475 Jews, including 689 who identify as having no religion, between February and June.
posted on October 1, 2013 at 6:57pm EDT

1. One in five Jews describe themselves as having no religion.

5. Most say being Jewish is mainly a matter of ancestry and culture.

6. The percentage of Jews with a non-Jewish spouse has stayed the same since 2000.

8. Less than a quarter say they’re Republican or lean Republican.

9. Remembering the Holocaust is cited as an essential part of being Jewish more frequently than anything else.

10. More live in the Northeast than any other region.

11. 34% said someone can still be Jewish if they believe Jesus was the messiah.

13. Most say they are “somewhat” or “very attached” emotionally to Israel, and 43% say they have been there.

16. 16% of Jews who consider themselves Jewish by religion say they do not believe in God.

17. 27% of Jews don’t consider themselves Jewish.
http://www.buzzfeed.com/hunterschwarz/statistics-that-show-what-its-like-to-be-jewish-in-2013

Indeed they look like more Americans than Jewdaists.  If Israel should have population of Arabs more that that of Jewdaists, American Judaists would lose their attachment to Judaism.

Or conversely, people surrounding them might not think that American Judaists are unique any more.  They have faith in God like others as they don't have faith in God like others.

On April 3, 2006, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights announced its finding that incidents of antisemitism are a "serious problem" on college campuses throughout the United States. The Commission recommended that the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights protect college students from antisemitism through vigorous enforcement of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and further recommended that Congress clarify that Title VI applies to discrimination against Jewish students.[59] 

American attitudes towards Jews 

Polls and studies over the past two decades point to a steady decrease in antisemitic attitudes, beliefs, and manifestations among the American public. A 1992 survey by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith showed that 20 percent of Americans—between 30 to 40 million adults—held antisemitic views, as against 29 percent in 1964. However, another survey by the same organization concerning antisemitic incidents shows that the curve has risen without interruption since 1986. 

The number of Americans holding antisemitic views declined markedly six years later when another ADL study classified only 12 percent of the population—between 20 to 25 million adults—as "most anti-Semitic." Confirming the findings of previous surveys, both studies also found that African Americans were significantly more likely than whites to hold antisemitic views, with 34 percent of blacks classified as "most anti-Semitic," compared to 9 percent of whites in 1998. 

According to an Anti-Defamation League survey 14 percent of U.S. residents had antisemitic views. The 2005 survey found "35 percent of foreign-born Hispanics" and "36 percent of African-Americans hold strong antisemitic beliefs, four times more than the 9 percent for whites".[64] The 2005 Anti-Defamation League survey includes data on Hispanic attitudes, with 29% being most antisemitic (vs. 9% for whites and 36% for blacks); being born in the United States helped alleviate this attitude: 35% of foreign-born Hispanics, but only 19% of those born in the US.[65] 

 During 2004, a number of prominent public figures accused Jewish members of the Bush administration of tricking America into war against Saddam Hussein to help Israel. U.S. Senator Ernest Hollings (D-South Carolina) claimed that the US action against Saddam was undertaken 'to secure Israel.' Television talk show host Pat Buchanan said a 'cabal' had managed 'to snare our country in a series of wars that are not in America’s interests.'"[57] Hollings wrote an editorial in the May 6, 2004 Charleston Post and Courier, where he argued that Bush invaded Iraq possibly because "spreading democracy in the Mideast to secure Israel would take the Jewish vote from the Democrats."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_antisemitism_in_the_United_States#Current_situation

To the eyes of Americans who think they are not Judaists, Judaists are still different.  But the more they access American Dream, the more they come to become nonchalant about Judaists.  African Americans, Hispanics born outside the US, and students in general are still far from American Dream; they mind queer neighbors who are called Judaists or Jews so strangely.

But God makes still Judaists keep special traits among other Americans, since God first chose Hebrews as the elite in the ancient world.

Nonetheless this distinctions seems to become more and more nominal and superficial.

God in America: The PBS Special and a Conversation With Stephen Prothero

Posted: October 11, 2010 06:20 PM


According to the PBS special, not only is God in America, but God, or belief in God, is woven into the very fabric of American culture and politics. So much so, observes Prothero, "we are no longer a country of two political parties but two political-religious parties."
...

The irony is this: America is religiously diverse. In Prothero's words, "In the supermarket of religion, America has a bigger store." It's the Walmart of religion. Instead of a strength, however, embraced by Americans as a distinction worth celebrating, many religious people in America are threatened by it, even react against it. But, in the words of the Hans Kung, "There will be no peace until there is peace among the religions." Nor will there be peace in America. While most Americans believe in God and regard themselves as spiritual people, my own feeling is millions of them are abandoning organized religion precisely because, instead of embracing and cultivating the diversity that is America, the major religions want to homogenize everyone and everything. It is this that causes division, even human destruction. What is supposed to bring sanity to this world is itself the cause of most insanity. It is madness.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-mcswain/god-in-america-the-pbs-sp_b_757098.html

Men are equal under God.  Every American is all equal, but there are rich Americans and poor Americans no matter what faith they have.

But it is a trap.  Of course, faith in God of the rich is false and faith in God of the poor can be true as is everywhere on the earth.

Do not trust rich Americans if they claim they are Christians, since they are not true Christians.

So, there are only two types: false faith and true faith even in the US.

http://www.religionfacts.com/islam/comparison_charts/islam_judaism_christianity.htm

The most important distinction is found in a question about afterlife.

Judaists have no uniform answer among themselves.

However, once you admit God exists and He watches us, judges us, and handles us properly.  You have to expect that God will give us something that is the most important, eternal life, since God must have eternal life for Himself and an uncounted amount of eternal life for us.

So, then it is a little strange that Judaists do not believe that God will surely give them eternal life if they satisfy Him by their living righteous lives on the earth.  On the other hand, Christianity and Islam stand on this promise.  God will surely reward good Christians and good Muslims with eternal life.

Power of God rests on His function to have a man conquer death, since death is the last and largest problem for a man.  If he cannot conquer death, his wealth, worldly reputation and titles, and happiness in this world look nothing.

However, there is a danger that if a man does not believe in afterlife, he might try to enjoy his life on the earth as much as possible no matter what atrocity he might cause.

Therefore, true Christians and true Muslims must be safer than true Judaists who are allowed not to believe in afterlife.

Anyway, Judas was neither a Christian nor a Muslim; he was a Jewdaist.

What does Judaism tell about money?

Jewish View of Money 

The Torah manner of giving charity, respecting others' property, and dealing honestly in business. 

by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan 

One's love for God must exceed his love for all material things. We are commanded, "Love the Lord your God… with all your might" (Deut. 6:5) -- that is, even at the cost of all your wealth. Therefore, there are times when a person must be ready to sacrifice all his possessions for the sake of God, even though he is not required to give his life.

http://www.aish.com/jl/i/fw/Jewish_View_of_Money.html

Judaism puts God above money.  But it is a matter of course.  Why must it be emphasized especially?  Even pagans know that God is above money, if they admit God exists.

Jewish views of poverty, wealth and charity 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 

Over the course of Jewish history, different attitudes have been held towards poverty and wealth. Unlike Christianity, in which some strands have viewed poverty as virtuous and desirable, Jews have generally viewed poverty negatively. Jacobs and Greer assert that "[i]n general, Jewish texts have portrayed poverty as an unjustifiable burden."[1] In contrast to the consistently negative view of poverty, Kravitz and Olitzky describe a rapidly changing attitude towards acceptance of wealth as desirable as the Hebrews transitioned from being nomadic shepherds to farmers and ultimately to city dwellers.[2] 

In Kol ben Levi, the author writes, "There are two trials before the individual: the test of wealth and the test of poverty... Both are difficult... but the test of wealth is greater than (the test of) poverty."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_views_of_poverty,_wealth_and_charity

Judaism was originally for benefit and merit of Hebrews and Israelites.  They asked their God to save them, protect them, and enrich them.  Partly because Judaists believed that their God could rescue them in poverty, protect them from strong enemies, and enrich them satisfactorily they loved their God.  It was not to make others, other tribes, and races rich and happy.  But Christ Jesus told to love God and make others, other tribes, and races rich and happy as much as they were.  Ordinary Israelites could not naturally accept Him.

What does Judaism say about money

July 25, 2010
During this economic crisis, Judaism has a interesting view on money. As we know there is no shortage of input from how to invest your money to how to file for bankruptcy. But what actually does Judaism say about money even in a time of crisis? Does Judaism teach the view of Capitalism, Socialism, or Communism when it comes to money?  

Judaism has the view of Capitalism but with a conscience. Capitalism is sometimes associated with survival of the fittest, winner takes all, all is fair in love and war. Meaning it can sometimes be equated to only the strong will survive with no regard to the weak or the poor. Judaism believes that there has to be a sense of morality along with Capitalism. Meaning you don't step on others to get ahead but you grab their hand and take them along with you if possible. The Jewish nation is always one of the first if not the first to lend a hand to other nations in time of tragedy. In the tragedy in Haiti, Israel was one of the first to respond when everybody else was waiting to see what they ought to do. 

The Torah teaches that the key to Jewish living is keeping the 613 laws in the Torah. A big part of that is helping your fellowman. The Jews believe that God has created a world that has good and evil and man has free choice. Free choice to lift this world up to make a difference. They also believe that the Torah is God's infinite wisdom to every part of life. So even in today's economy with millions of people out of work and people just barely getting by, Judaism teaches that the Jewish tradition is to lift the world up by helping them with a need.
http://www.examiner.com/article/what-does-judaism-say-about-money

This sounds like a voice of the Devil.  If you don't deny your desire to be rich, no matter how much you try to help the poor, it is tantamount to pretending to do charity work.

The essence of teaching by Christ Jesus is to abandon a will to be rich.  Without this will, you cannot save the poor and make them as rich as you are.

Indeed Jesus told a rich young man to sell all his assets and give all the money he gets in return to the poor and then follow Him as a poor man.

So, a Jewsaist who refuses to be a poor man for purpose cannot be a follower of Christ Jesus.

"but of God" - Future of Isreal

Imperial Palace Plaza Park, Tokyo

Future of Israel

It seems that everything is going well for Israel.

Surrounding Islamic nations have all lost power and potential to attack and destroy Israel.  The recent revolutionary movement in the Islamic Middle East has resulted in producing a situation simply desirable for Israel.  Muslims are all busy building a democratic social system in their own countries or entering a civil war to expel dangerously Islamic politicians.

Though Egyptians elected a very Islamic president who could be a threat to Israel, he was soon removed by the Egyptian military.  Syria could further strengthen its tie with Iran and other anti-Israel factions in the Islamic world, but the country occupying a land with a history as long as Israel was thrown into a bloody civil war.  Israel is now safer than in any other period of time.

Even Iran is toward improving its diplomatic relation with the US, the largest supporter of Israel.  Russia led by Putin is cautious in handling its Muslim population due to past acts of Islamic terror, thus refraining from joining some Islamic movement to destroy Israel.  Saudi Arabia, whose security has been intensified because of the American War on Terror, owes so much to the US, thus no intention to make war against the coalition of the US and Israel.  And, Pakistan with full of dangerous Muslims is under an influence of Saudi Arabia who is a big donor to the religious sector of Pakistan.  And, AlQaeda has never launched a full scale guerrilla war against Israel for some mysterious reasons.  In summary, there are no serious and substantial enemies for Israel now.  It is truly a historical moment!

But there is a possibility that Israel will become a kind of Islamic country due to an increase of Muslims in its population:

  This raises the second concern, what many feel is the most acute existential threat to Israel's survival as a Jewish state. For at least two decades now, thoughtful Israelis have worried that Israel cannot be a democracy, a Jewish State, and Greater Israel, for a simple reason. They could see that the demographic trends would eventually produce an Arab population majority in the combined territory between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. That was twenty years ago. Now, "eventually" has arrived. There are roughly 6 million Jewish citizens of Israel. If we combine Israeli Arab citizens (about 1.6 million, or slightly over 20 percent of all Israelis) and the Palestinian populations in the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem (4.4 million), the total is now about the same as the Jewish population (or even slightly higher). And the Arab population growth rate is higher (in fact, among Israeli Arabs, significantly so). In a single bi-national state, Arabs would vote -- democratically -- to eliminate the Jewish character of the state. This is why a growing number of West Bank Palestinians, particularly youth and intellectuals, are now calling for a single unitary state. And it is why President Obama declared in Israel on March 21, "Given the demographics west of the Jordan River, the only way for Israel to endure and thrive as a Jewish and democratic state is through the realization of an independent and viable Palestine."

http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/05/all-fall-down-the-uncertain-future-of-the-only-solution-for-israel-and-palestine/275811/

Another issue is what is symbolized by Dubai.  Europeans would leverage this sort of production of wealth in the Middle East.  The destination of the Arab Spring movement must be economic success combined with democracy in Islamic nations.  Influences of economic success of Muslims surrounding Israel would accelerate erosion of state structure of Israel.  Eventually, Israelis would find that they cannot compete with wealth the Arabs and Muslims will newly acquire through Dubai-type success.  It will push many Judaists out of Israel which cannot provide for Judaists any superiority over Muslims.

And finally and very probably, the US will become more Judaistic.  Christ Jesus told to hate money but love God, while Judaism never orders such a drastic act.  Americans will use the term God more often than Christ Jesus.  Most of American Christians will soon forget that Christ Jesus is God.  They will become a kind of Judaists.  Then they will not mind if a majority of population in Israel are Muslims so long as Israel is an independent country under an influence of the US and Americans can safely and freely travel to Jerusalem where Judaist legacies are preserved against Islamic antagonism.

In near future, if the US becomes a kind of Judaist country while Israel becomes a kind of Arab country, no Muslims find an enemy in Judaists.

But was it prophesied in any holy books?

”an angel of the Lord standing” - Who Thinks of God More

Japan

Who Thinks of God More

There are people earning money, working, say, in a dangerous corner of Fukushima Daiichi.

And there are people earning money, working, say, in well-equipped and comfortable office in Tokyo.

Those who love money and riches in this world would not see differences between them except in that the former are fools and the latter are smarts.

But, when you are working physically and psychologically critical and unbearable condition, you might think about God more often than when you are working in a mighty and sophisticated building.

For example, people living in islands of ever lasting summer have never tried to find a way to God. A congenial climate and abundant foods promised and assured for centuries and more never lead people to God.  Likewise, it cannot be expected that a way to God is needed by people living and working in modern cities as middle-class or upper citizens or rich people, while enjoying gorgeous products of modern technology and refined services provided by well trained people.    

From the beginning materially blessed people have only one value system.  They simply center material and worldly success in their universe.  Being richer and being praised and respected by others for their material achievement are the most valuable thing for them.  They never mind how God sees them, though they are to die soon and face God in person.

Of course, American soldiers fighting in horrible condition in Afghanistan might think of God more often than those working in meticulously arranged offices in the US.  But we have not yet received a report that a saint-like American has emerged over his hard experiences in the War on Terror.

Of course, Muslims  fighting in horrible condition in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and so on might think of God more often than those working in meticulously arranged offices in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, etc.   But we have not yet received a report that a saint-like Muslim has emerged over his hard experiences in the decade-long tragedy of the Islamic world.

It must be also recalled that Christ Jesus appeared in ancient Israel before the Jewish-Roman War.  Of course, Israelis at the time fighting in horrible condition against the Roman Empire might have thought of God more often than those living, before the Jewish-Roman War, in Jerusalem and other regions in ancient Palestine in more peaceful condition.  But we have never heard that a saint who must have been as holy as Christ Jesus appeared through Israelis' wars against the Roman Empire which continued to the middle of the first century.      

Nonetheless, that must be the only effective timing for emergence of Christ Jesus.  If Christ Jesus had not come to the world or ancient Israel before the fall of Jerusalem and the subsequent diaspora, it should have been extremely difficult for some Judaists at the time to follow Christ Jesus and have faith in Him.

So, historical necessity and fate seem to work more decisively than individual condition and a general situation of people in terms of development of relationship between God and people.

Having thought so, we may still expect that people undergoing hardship think about God or evil more deeply than lucky people.  They must be closer to God or Satan than happy people.  In this context, still we have to believe that God defeats Satan, so easily.    


But for example,

But under the constant threat of violence from the surrounding Muslim countries as well as the so-called “Palestinians” who hope to take the land in its entirety for themselves and aim to kill all the Jews in the process, this tiny nation, just 8000 square miles, is forced to be vigilant at all times in order to protect its people and mere existence.

God for Jewdaists

Let's study how God has been understood by Hebrews, Israelites, Israelis, and Judaists.

The conception of God in Judaism is strictly monotheistic. God is an absolute one, indivisible and incomparable being who is the ultimate cause of all existence. Jewish tradition teaches that the true aspect of God is incomprehensible and unknowable, and that it is only God's revealed aspect that brought the universe into existence, and interacts with mankind and the world. In Judaism, the one God of Israel is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who is the guide of the world, delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt, and gave them the 613 Mitzvot at Mount Sinai as described in the Torah. [God, in true sense is, above everything else, undescribable, since He is only theoretically considered as ‘being in existence’ before creation of the world, since before creation there were nobody and noth-ing to give witness of His existence. In Kabbalah, God before creation is given the characterization of Ein-Sof. His creative aspect is then YHVH (YH as yah and VH as veh) with the meaning of ‘He who brings things into being’ or simply ‘creator’. Look about YHVH below]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_in_Judaism

God cannot be seen.  But Hebrews believed God exists.  And God brought the universe into existence.  This is still a basic concept of believers in the world even today.  It might not be so important how we call God, but Judaists have been serious in this point.

What does Judaism teach about God? 

In Judaism, ultimate reality is a single, all-powerful God. It is this belief that made the Jews unique among other ancient Semitic peoples and that became the legacy Judaism has passed on to the entire Western world. 

The sacred name of God, as revealed to Moses in the book of Exodus, is YHWH. Since ancient Hebrew was written without vowels, we do not know the original pronunciation of this word. The common pronunciation "Jehovah," however, is incorrect. It is derived from combining the vowels for Adonai ("Lord") with the four consonants of YHWH.
A more "correct" pronunciation, and that which is used among scholars, is "Yahweh." The discussion is irrelevant to observant Jews, however, as they do not pronounce this holiest of names. When the Torah is read aloud, Adonai ("Lord") is read in its place. This practice is reflected in most English translations, in which YHWH is rendered "LORD." Jews also refer to God as Hashem, "the Name."
The word YHWH is sometimes referred to as the Tetragrammaton, from the Greek for "four-lettered." It is also called The Forbidden Name or the Unutterable Name. The prohibition against pronouncing this name does not originate with the command to not take the Lord's name in vain, as is sometimes thought.
Although traditionally this only applies to the Name in Hebrew, some modern Jews also refrain from writing the word "God," replacing it instead with "G-d." Opinions vary within Judaism as to the necessity of such a practice.

Of course, they do not call their God Jesus.  If the Pope said to Judaists that the name of their God is Jesus, they will not respond.

Who Was Jesus?
The Jewish View of Jesus 

Stated simply, the Jewish view of Jesus of Nazareth is that he was an ordinary Jewish man and preacher living during the Roman occupation of the Holy Land in the first century C.E. The Romans executed him - and also executed many other nationalistic and religious Jews - for speaking out against Roman authority and abuses.
http://judaism.about.com/od/judaismbasics/a/Jewish-View-Of-Jesus.htm

Indeed, it is too revolutionary for Jewdaists to believe that a man is also God.

But God is almighty.  He can be a man, though a man cannot be God.

Another Tower of Babel  

Can we survive the next 2000 years like our history has survived for 4000 years since Abraham and for 2000 years since Christ Jesus.

Civilization 2500: life 500 years into the future
By Dick Pelletier
   
    After rising from the primordial soup 3.5 billion years ago, Earth life began an evolutionary trip that has produced today's amazing human. Futurists now ponder what's next. Ray Kurzweil, Michio Kaku, and other forward-thinkers believe technologies will advance exponentially in the centuries ahead, creating mind-boggling changes in how we view life and the world. 

    Of course, no one knows for certain how life will progress in 500 years, but if we look at what experts predict will happen over the next two-to-three decades – biotech fighting disease, bodies strengthened with non-biological materials, and nanotech providing a scarcity-free life – then blend in some sci-fi scenarios, a "magical future" appears. 

People 

    Biotech and nanotech were credited with decreasing death rates from 50 million in 2009, to 35 million by 2020, and 5 million by 2030. During the 2040s, non-biological body parts became both affordable and socially acceptable; and with the added feature of transferring consciousness from damaged bodies into new ones, by 2050, humanity had recorded its last unwanted death. 

    Birthrates diminished during this time also. The desire to perpetuate family lineage through children didn't make sense when indefinite lifespan had become reality. World population totaled seven billion by 2010; ten billion by 2050. 

Space 

    From 2050 to 2100, influenced by successful Moon and Mars forays, humanity began a mass exodus to space. By 2100, more than a billion people lived on Moon and Mars, and in artificial space habitats circling above Earth. By 2200, more humans lived in space than on Earth. 

    The first off-world baby was born on Mars in 2035 during construction of the red planet's first colony. As the following centuries unfolded, humanity's presence in space exploded. By 2400, only 3 billion humans remained on Earth, but nearly 50 billion were living their dream life in space. 

Aliens 

    The first alien encounter occurred in 2400 at a Mars meeting with inhabitants from Garth, a planet orbiting a star 43 light years from Earth. Garth and Earth co-founded The Federation with goals to discover intelligent life forms and develop planets for colonization. To date, the group has discovered over 1,000 new intelligent species, with more than half joining the Federation. Humans possess the strongest intelligence systems and have become the dominant force in the organization. 

Energy 

    By 2100, scientists harnessed 100% of Earth's energy, which allowed weather control and development of warp-speed spaceships. By 2200, we accessed all of our sun's energy which allowed development of technologies that enabled intra-galactic travel. By 2300, we began mining energy from other stars, enabling the construction and operation of wormholes, which allows faster-than-light-speed communication and travel. 

    In mid-2400s we could send information backwards through time. Scientists discovered a wormhole that had existed for billions of years, which enabled travel and communication into periods before the time machine was built. This technology has allowed people to retrieve consciousness and memories from lost loved ones before they died, enabling them to continue living in our time. 

Conclusion 

    21st century technologies cured sicknesses, brought an end to aging and death, and ushered in greater-than-human intelligence. In the following centuries, technologies thrust civilization into what can only be described as a "magical future."

Without faith in God, mankind should have destroyed one another.  Civilizations must have been destroyed.  It is Christianity that made the Industrial Revolution possible.  Even the ancient Greek culture was supported by their imagination about gods.  Development of technology and science in the human world must be linked with faith in God or conditioned by effect of some true religious senses people are bound up in.

Therefore, I don't think present science and technology will progress and advance linearly or exponentially in future if people cannot deepen their faith in God in proportion to the expected possible huge growth of their scientific capability.

Without the solid basement, a Babel-class tall tower cannot be built.  Without deep roots, a tall tree cannot reach the sky or even a cloud floating low.

That mankind realizes immortality through application of science and technology is tantamount to building a great palace.  It cannot be built on sand.  It cannot be built on water of a pond, either.  It needs super solid foundations greater than the palace to be constructed on them.  If mankind becomes immortal, they must meet God.  And God will destroy the human species, if He judges that human beings don't have sufficient faith in God which matches well with significance of immortality.

As there are too many evil people on the earth as we can see looking around, it is more likely that God will put an end to the history of mankind.  And we now live in a very convenient era for this termination, since it is 4000 years after Abraham and 2000 years after Christ Jesus.

"Wherein ye greatly rejoice" - What the Koran Said Finally

Anti-Nuclear Energy Movement Tents in Government District, Tokyo 

What the Koran Said Finally

The last chapters of the Koran are so impressive:

113. Dawn - Al-Falaq

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

113:1 Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn,

113:2 From the evil of what He has created,

113:3 And from the evil of the utterly dark night when it comes,

113:4 And from the evil of those who blow on knots,

113:5 And from the evil of the envious when he envies

114. Mankind - An-Nas

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

114:1 Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of men,

114:2 The King of men,

114:3 The God of men,

114:4 From the evil of the whisperings of the slinking (Shaitan),

114:5 Who whispers into the hearts of men,

114:6 From among the jinn and the men.

What it implies is so simple that there are only three players in this world and in one's life: God, the man himself, and Satan.

The world and one's life are a stage of battle between good and evil.  Satan uses any elements of this world and a human life for his attack on a man, including happiness, dreams, hope, ambitions, money, etc.  And it is very difficult for a man just to concentrate on this battle, discarding his love for money and worldly success and happiness.

Even man's wish to rely on a great religion can be a trap set by Satan.

That should be why Christ Jesus never declared that he established a new religion.  He only said that He is the only way that guides people to Heaven.  Faith in Christ Jesus alone cannot be a religion.  It is because you will deny anything, including churches and rituals, except Christ Jesus Himself if you believe in Him.

Anyway to live a life without being damaged by Satan is so difficult.  And it seems that the Koran was established as a mean to fight and win Satan, since Satan seems to be the most important theme in parallel with mankind and God in the Koran.

But it is a surprise that Islam was endowed mankind with 600 years after the first emergence of Christ Jesus, while Christ Jesus had already declared that He had won this world with full of devils.

"God called the light Day" - Grounds for Holy Judgment

The Year of the Horse

Grounds for Holy Judgment

God is fair to everybody.

He lets rain fall on everybody and the sun shine on everyone, very equally.

He only gives 24 hours a day for all, equally.

Accordingly God gives to everyone equal ability to do good or evil.  Under the same condition people love justice to abandon worldly success or love evil to achieve worldly success.

Indeed on the same earth some people abandon money to accomplish their act of love to the poor, while other people abandon love to the poor to make big money and fulfill their material desire.  

According to their states of souls and minds in this context, people take their positions between Heaven and the hell.

Person A can be regarded as one who accumulates big wealth in Heaven, but Person C is only rich in the worldly sense with only a little wealth in Heaven.

But most of people look like resembling Person B.  They have to face a difficult judgment before God in future.

Mat 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Mat 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Indeed for Person A, his or her treasure is love, faith, or justice, while Person C is always haunted by worldly desire and love for money.

Indeed it should be only God that would pay $1000 trillion for your love, faith and achievement of justice, though in Heaven, if any.  But those bad guys are trying to accumulate $1000 trillion in this world by sacrificing poor people.

"John to the seven churches" - Design by God

Tokyo Subway

Design by God

This world is very well designed.

It is too exquisitely-designed to deny existence of a designer behind this world.  The universe follows various laws which are too exquisitely-designed to deny existence of a designer of the laws.

For example, there is a myriad of CO2 molecules in the air.  But it is believed and mostly proved that all the CO2 molecules have an identical mass.  Even all the elements of C, carbon, have one specified amount of mass.  There are no variations.   An unidentified large number of the element Cs in this universe have the same mass and the same physical characteristics.  And components of the element, electrons and quirks, have also certain specified characteristics, respectively.

Especially, all the electrons in this universe, whose number is estimated to be 10 to the 100th power or more, have the same mass and the same strength of electromagnetic power.  Who can create one type of small particles in the quantity of 10 to the 100th power (10^100), giving perfectly the same physical properties to all of them?   It cannot be even possible by chance.  There must be a great designer behind the nature.

Every material around us consists of elements, such as carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), etc.  And each of elements consists of quirks and electrons.  Further, each type of quirks has, like electrons, the same physical properties while there are more than 10^100 quirks for each type in this universe.  It cannot be realized by chance.  There must be the Creator of the Universe, who is God.

In addition, the circle ratio pi (a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter and is approximately equal to 3.14159) can be expressed in the following manner.

pi = 4 x (1/1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 - 1/11 + 1/13 - 1/15 + 1/17......)

http://excelmathmike.blogspot.jp/2013/03/pi-day-bulletin-board-and-ideas-for.html

This sort of mathematical expression really tells deep harmony underlying the structure of our universe.

Who can design this universe so that the ratio of circumference to the diameter of a circle can be calculated by subtracting one third from 1, then adding one fifth, then subtracting one seventh, then adding one ninth, then... and finally multiplying the result of this alternate infinite addition/subtraction by 4?

What's more,

The prime counting function π(n) is defined as the number of primes not greater than n. For example π(11) = 5, since there are five primes less than or equal to 11. There are known algorithms to compute exact values of π(n) faster than it would be possible to compute each prime up to n. The prime number theorem states that π(n) is approximately given by

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_number#Number_of_prime_numbers_below_a_given_number
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%B4%A0%E6%95%B0

Even prime numbers, such as 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, etc. are not disposed at random in the whole set of integers.

Indeed mathematically our world is ruled by a law we cannot easily fully comprehend at its deepest meaning.  It must be truly an act of God.
