The National Center for Education Statistics charted a significant decline in literacy of adults across education levels in the period from 1992 to 2003. Alarmingly, they showed that 69% of college graduates couldn’t read any reasonably complex material with an acceptable level of understanding, and even 41% of candidates for higher degrees were not proficient in reading. Studies by Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa in their 2011 book, Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses, tracked students during college and found “limited or no learning for a large proportion of students.” That must also reflect failure of K-12 schooling to prepare students adequately. What is behind this dismal picture?

The Irreproducibility Crisis in Modern Science, a study published in 2018 by the National Association of Scholars says, “Many supposedly scientific results cannot be reproduced reliably in subsequent investigations, and offer no trustworthy insight into the way the world works. In 2005, Dr. John Ioannidis argued, shockingly and persuasively, that most published research findings in his own field of medicine were false.” Is this an exaggeration or an accurate perspective? What is going on?

A viewer asks: “High cholesterol is said to be a major risk factor for heart disease. It is said that LDL(bad) cholesterol should be less than 100 mg/dL HDL (good) should be 40 mg/dL or higher for men and 50 mg/dL or higher for women. Triglycerides should be less than 150 mg/dL. Many different types of drinks, including green tea, oat drinks, soy drinks, and plant milk smoothies, contain compounds that may help reduce or manage cholesterol levels. Several studies, for example, have demonstrated the beneficial effects of tomato juice on cholesterol metabolism. How accurate and reliable are these suggested levels of cholesterol, and are the drinks suggested one effective method (among many) to optimize levels?” What is Creator’s perspective?

There have been a number of revelations in recent years in the scientific literature calling into question the reliability of science. This is because serious inquiries to confirm a number of well-accepted findings have failed to do so, undermining the validity of the original studies. While there are a number of flaws in how science is conducted and reported which could lead to false initial conclusions, you have pointed out that the interlopers have manipulated the outcomes of key scientific studies to either show a false positive or a false negative result. How widespread a problem is this? What percentage of scientific reports are corrupted by the Extraterrestrial Alliance?

A viewer asks: “Ancient Greece was immensely influential and widely admired. Many of its ideas were transmitted by the Roman Empire to Europe. It shaped the way much of the world now approaches law, politics, and scientific inquiry. Science, though, has evolved from a mode of inquiry into a source of authority difficult to challenge, and not tolerating dissent. Scientists are now regarded as the saviors of the world. Arguably then, the Ancient Greek culture has led to a materialist, mechanistic worldview that limits inquiry in some ways. While many people value the legal/political legacy of the ancients, what did extraterrestrials seek to prevent in law, politics, and science? Did they engineer this long-term trajectory?” What can Creator tell us?

A cable television show was discussing the statistic that in Canada, one out of every 30 deaths in 2021 was an assisted suicide, as that is legal, and done by various healthcare providers. The discussion expressed concern that there is advocacy by the system to encourage people to take that route, like veterans with PTSD and others who are unhappy but not facing an imminent painful death. What is the divine perspective of this and why it is promoted?

The late Psychiatrist Dr. M. Scott Peck M.D., bestselling author of The Road Less Traveled and who many regard as one of the important pioneers of the “self-help” genre, also wrote an important book titled The People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil from which the questions for this show are derived. Dr. Peck wrote: “… for the past three hundred years there has been a profound separation between religion and science. This divorce – sometimes acrimonious, more often remarkably amicable – has decreed that the problem of evil should remain in the custody of religious thinkers. With few exceptions, scientists have not even sought visitation rights. If for no other reason than the fact that science is supposed to be value-free. The very word ‘evil’ requires an a priori value judgment. Hence it is not even permissible for a strictly value-free science to deal with the subject.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Dr. Peck wrote: “Science has also steered clear of the problem of evil because of the immensity of the mystery involved. … (Scientists) prefer little mysteries to big ones.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Dr. Peck wrote: “Evil is in opposition to life. It is that which opposes the life force. It has, in short, to do with killing … Murder is not abstract … Evil is also what kills spirit. There are various essential attributes to life – particularly human life – such as sentience, mobility, growth, autonomy, will. It is possible to kill or attempt to kill one of these attributes without actually destroying the body. Thus we may ‘break’ a horse or even a child. … Evil, then … is that force, residing either inside or outside of human beings, that seeks to kill life or liveliness. And goodness is its opposite.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Dr. Peck had a teenage patient suffering from depression. His older brother had committed suicide with a 22 rifle a year earlier. For Christmas, his parents gave the patient the rifle his brother killed himself with. When Dr. Peck challenged the parents about the inappropriateness of the gift, the parents refused to acknowledge there was any problem with such a gift, claiming they were just simple, working people who can’t be expected to think like the doctor. They were not willing to examine and find fault with themselves at all. As a result, Dr. Peck diagnosed the boy’s depression as being the fault of the parents and threatened to call social services to get the boy to go live for an extended time with his aunt. He concluded the boy’s depression was actually healthy in this situation, and that the boy needed protection from his parents’ evil more than anything. What is Creator’s perspective?

Dr. Peck wrote, “Raised without love, children come to believe themselves unlovable. We may express this as a general law of child development: ‘Whenever there is a major deficit in parental love, the child will, in all likelihood, respond to that deficit by assuming itself to be the cause of the deficit, thereby developing an unrealistically negative self-image.’ … When a child is grossly confronted by significant evil in its parents, it will most likely misinterpret the situation and believe the evil resides in itself.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Dr. Peck wrote, “… evil people, refusing to acknowledge their own failures, actually desire to project their evil onto others.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Dr. Peck wrote, “… the sicker the patients – the more dishonest in their behavior and distorted in their thinking – the less able we are to help them with any degree of success. When they are very distorted and dishonest, it seems impossible.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Dr. Peck wrote, “The feeling that a healthy person often experiences in a relationship with an evil one is revulsion. … The feeling of revulsion can be extremely useful to a therapist. It can be a diagnostic tool par excellence. … Evil is revolting because it is dangerous. The revulsion countertransference is an instinctive or, if you will, God-given and saving early warning radar system.” What is Creator’s perspective?
