In this blog, I discuss Ernst Cassirer (1874-1945 ) and his contribution to man’s knowledge of God’s Intelligence Design. Cassirer's pic is on the right.

As a historian, Cassirer has many contributions in his defense of God. But his greatest contribution will be found in a 3-volume book on "The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms." These three books focus on (1) language, (2) myth, and (3) knowledge. These books appeared first in Germany in 1929. As a Jew, the Nazis forced him and his family to leave Germany. This was a great gain for the USA. Yale University lured him to America in 1941. There, in two years, he translates these three books into English. He made this translation but died in 1945.

The importance of Cassirer’s three books was expressed by Susanne Langer when she dedicated her 1953 book on "Feeling and Form" to Cassirer. She also cited Cassirer among the 1920 linguists who discovered that our sense-data are primarily symbols on page 21 of her book on "Philosophy in a New Key."

Unfortunately, U.S. scientists were still debating the general meaning of a sign (or signal) and a symbol in 1952 at the Thirteenth Symposium of the Conference of Science, Philosophy, and Religion at Columbia University. Fortunately, in 1975, the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction (SSSI) was founded. Initially, SSSI studies used symbols to explain the social relations between humans and animals. Today, SSSI studies use symbols to explain physical relations between humans and animals.

At this 1952 conference and in the SSSI, the philosophy of symbolism seems to be losing some of its spiritual power against atheism and materialism. If atheism and materialism win the debate over the meanings of signs and symbols, then human beings would be viewed as animals and Darwin’s evolutionary theory would destroy God.

Thus, it is time for defenders of God to study the books of Langer and Cassirer. In the books by them, the purpose of symbols is not to explain the physical relations among humans. In their books, the purpose of symbols is to perfect the morality of humans against evilness. With their books, symbols are applied only to human life and signs (or signals) are applied to both humans and animals. Unless the defenders of God begin to act at the level of government, the U.S. government could become very evil.

In this blog on Susanne K. Langer (1895-1985 ) and her contribution to man’s knowledge of God’s Intelligence Design will discuss Chapter 1 of her 1942 book on "Philosophy in a New Key."

As I said in an earlier blog, Langer says that man must face new problems and must solve them continually. So Langer is saying that life forms a continuum and has no end. Such a continuum is consistent with my scientific proof of God and is also consistent with scriptures, which speak about new and more beautiful worlds. Langer points out that this continuum exists and is confirmed by the great solutions made by the physical sciences for two centuries. However, she also points out that the physical sciences did not deliver solutions to the life sciences such as the mental sciences and the human sciences.

I found her last points to be true when I conducted research on the national crime at the U.S. Department of Justice from 1971 to 1994. In this period, crime was not eliminated by any mental science, any social science, any psychological science, any economic science, or any technology. Today, life scientists cannot depend on the physical sciences. Based on the work of many linguists in the 1920s, Langer says that our senses can produce data only with symbols.

The problem with symbols is that they that must be given a meaning. The symbols used by the physical sciences have received their meanings from cause/effect relations, which are called physical laws. However, cause/effect relations do not apply to the symbols of the life sciences.

Langer seeks life science symbols and their meanings in a series of books. In 1953 she publishes, "Feeling and Form: A Theory of Art." Then, she wrote a 3-volume book on "Mind: An Essay on Human Feeling" (1967, 1972, & 1982). The 3-volume book was abridged by Johns Hopkins University.

While producing this blog, I began to reflect on my research work at the U.S. Department of Justice. After a few minutes, I learned why Langer’s work in the life sciences is not expanded by the U.S. government. I concluded that this expansion has been impeded by the Republican party and its belief that criminals are born. This belief is stated when a Republican says, ‘the key should be thrown away after a criminal is jailed.’ The Democratic party believes that environments can create criminals. I agree with the Democrats because in 1988 I concluded that criminals can be created by the national symbolic language of the USA.

During the Reagan/Father Bush administrations, the Republican Director of the National Institute of Justice, U.S. Department of Justice sought crime predictions based on physical and mathematical laws. These predictions were never found. More recently, mathematical physicists influenced U.S. bankers to accept their predictions of human behaviors on real estates transactions called ‘swops.’ In 2009, the U.S. government had to bailout these banks to save the U.S. economy.

It is time to separate the physical sciences and life sciences. But I don’t believe that these two sciences will become separated as long as the Republican party holds any cause/effect belief in any human activity.

This blog is about a specific contribution of Susanne K. Langer (1895-1985 ) to man’s knowledge of God’s Intelligence Design. This contribution will focus on Chapter 1 of her 1942 book on "Philosophy in a New Key."

This chapter is a history about the political rise of empiricism over rationalism and the political rise of mathematics over science. These political rises led to the new idea of ‘fact instead of proof.’ These rises also led to the growth of atheism and materialism, and the prediction of the end of our world.

My working experience at the U.S. Department of Justice can add some new events to Langer’s history. For instance, in the USA, I say that the above political rises led to more crime and more cancer, the development of a national drug culture, the breakdown of the American family, and the failures of education, capitalism, banking, and the national economy. I also say that these new events in the USA were caused by chaining man’s reason to empiricism and chaining science to mathematics. These new chains were made by the belief that science can be known completely.

In Chapter 1, Langer says that man has always faced new problems. She says that man must solve these problems with new questions. Thus, man will never be able to sit on his duff forever. Change is thus natural to man.

History tells us that man has been chained often. A major enslaving occurred in the Middle Ages. Then, Aristotle’s logic was enforced by the courts of Cicero in the Roman Empire. You will laugh at this court’s logic in Blaise Pascal’s book on "The Provincial Letters." The new thoughts of Nicholas of Cusa ended both the Middle ages and Aristotle’s logical reasoning.

Today, the fields of empiricism and mathematics are trying to chain all U.S. citizens to logic again. If this chain is maintained for only one more generation of retired people, I say that the Western world will degenerate and its people will return to a form of life similar to the life of the Middle Ages. The overdosed death of Michael Jackson and the cancer of Ted Kennedy were caused only by our Empiricists and Mathematicians. And in my town, many doctors are getting ready to pull the plug on seniors. It seems clear that U.S. Empiricists and Mathematicians are affecting the security of the USA and are violating the founding documents, the first two paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence and the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution. Both say that the USA is a nation under God..

In this blog, I discuss the contributions of Susanne K. Langer (1895-1985 ) to man’s knowledge of God’s Intelligence Design. Her initial contribution is found in her book on "Philosophy In A New Key (1942)," a Harvard bestseller. (Click) See Langer's pic on the left.

Today, many scientists have turned away from God because they cannot observe God with their senses. However, God’s presence can be observed many other ways. For instance, when observing the evening sky, many finite things will be seen. If you seek the origin of all of these finite things, you will conclude hat they all had to came from a thing, which is not finite. Since a ‘not finite thing’ means an infinite thing, it is one of the invisible attributes of God. Thus, we can recognize God by finding His many invisible attributes, which are infinite in number. Paul told to the Romans at Rom. 1:20 about these invisible attributes. Since all of God’s attributes cannot be known completely, we will never be able to define God or know God completely.

After many scientists turned away from God over forty years ago, the human being and the human mind were redefined by those life scientists who joined the godless physical scientists. No longer would the mind be equated to the soul; no longer would man live after death; ; and no longer would man have the independence given by God. Instead, man became a mechanism with utilitarian purposes. Essentially, in the last forty years, a new form of slavery has emerged in the USA as a result of forces such as materialism, atheism, Darwin’s evolutionary theory, scientific facts, and a universe that ends This is the new status of the USA and many other nations as 2009 moved in.

Could this new form of slavery been initiated by the physical sciences and their friends of the life science? I say yes if they avoided Langer book and overlooks the major discovery in the 1920s by many linguists. This 1920 discovery told every scientist that empirical data are primarily symbolic. Langer’s book that announced the 1920 discovery was printed in 1942, was republished in 1951 and 1959, and was renewed in 1970 and 1979. How can these physical scientists and life scientists miss this 1920 discovery and Langer’s book?

The last forty years of this new form of slavery in the USA is a shock to me because the performance of the physical and life sciences has caused a huge monetary loss. I now know why the USA has a major economic problem today. So I call for a huge investigation of science and education by the U.S. government. The 1920 discovery must be put on top of the table tops in every U.S. government agency.

In this blog, I want to discuss George Cantor’s (1845-1918) transfinite numbers and how they might contribute to our knowledge of God’s Intelligence Design. This discussion will require some general knowledge about numbers you learned when you counted the eggs every Easter morning. In this blog, I will try to teach you how to count those many, many different things that God created. I will also try to teach you how some of these new numbers might tell you what these many, many different things might be.

In the last blog on Cantor, I identified the first and second transfinite numbers. Getting in more detail, the first transfinite number is represented by N1. This symbol means ‘all rational numbers.’ These rational numbers are as follows: 1, 2, 1/2, 1/3. 3, 4, 3/2, 2/3, 1/4, 1/5, 5 .... etc. Note. Each rational number appears only once. Since each rational number appears only once, the rational numbers can be coordinated with all natural numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, ... etc. All natural numbers are represented by N0.

The second transfinite number is represented by N2 and means ‘all rational and irrational numbers. However, all rational and irrational numbers cannot be coordinated with the natural numbers as the rational numbers do. Thus, when the irrational numbers are added to the rational numbers, N2 is said to be not denumerable and is not equivalent to all natural or all rational numbers. So, N2 is said to be a higher power or higher type of infinity. All other transfinite numbers thus fall into a sequence of increasing powers such as N0 , N1 , N2 , N3 , N4 , N5 , ... etc. This sequence can never be completed because God’s power is always greater than the highest transfinite number we ever discover.

At this time, we only know the N0 , N1 , and N2 transfinite numbers. We only know three transfinite numbers today because many of our mathematicians and scientists have turned away from God and are not searching for any higher transfinite numbers. This is a sign that atheism is growing. So, it is up to the people to destroy atheism so people return to God and continue the work of Cantor.

What are the implications of the discovery of Cantor’s transfinite numbers? And how do these numbers relate to God and the universe? To me it seems that all numbers and things are created by God in a way so that we can discover numbers and things. And it seems that only humans can make such discoveries because they received special minds, which can make such discoveries.

When discoveries of numbers and things are not being made by the people of a culture, I conclude that such a culture will degenerate. I believe that the USA has become a degenerating culture because its people are turning away from God, are becoming atheists, and are making fewer and fewer discoveries of the kind that can be discovered with Cantor’s transfinite numbers.

In this blog, I discuss more contributions of Georg Cantor (1845-1918) to man’s knowledge of God’s Intelligence Design. As a mathematician, Cantor’s work is dealing primarily with the human mind and mind’s development of consciousness. A development of mind is the ‘continuum.’ Continuity is necessary to form all things and organize them into one world. First, a little history.

In the ancient period, Leucippus, Democritus, and Aristotle viewed the continuum as a compound of parts that can be divided without any limit. On the other hand, Epicurus and Lucretius viewed the continuum as a series of finite atoms. Eventually, Thomas Aquinas said that the continuum was formed neither of infinitely many nor of a finite number of parts. Instead, he said that a continuum has no parts at all. The continuum thus became a mystery and a religious dogma.

To eliminate this mystery and religious dogma, Cantor turns his mind to abstract subjects in mathematics such as arithmetic, function theory, and geometry. Accordingly, his thoughts shift to the thinking of the Creator before the Creator acts to form the universe we live. Thus, Cantor did not use ‘time’ and ‘space’ to help define the continuum. Time, he says, presupposes continuity and is nothing but a relation between different motions. Time is thus not the measure of motions. And he says that space is found only in created things. So, the unification of time and space do not exist prior to the existence of physical things.

Since the universe has no vacuums, all things in the universe have two common properties --- quantity and quality. This is why electrical batteries, for example, have 6 or 12 volts and our homes have 120 or 220 volts. So, it was appropriate for Cantor to learn all of the numbers that God included in the design of the universe. Only with numbers can science develop new knowledge of things in the universe. Unfortunately, Western world mathematicans and scientists have placed Cantor’s work into libraries to collect dust.

Cantors’ work goes beyond the ‘finite number system’ where counting and arithmetic applies. His work reveals an ‘infinite number system.’ The first infinite number is the set of all natural numbers (1, 2, 3, ... etc.). These numbers have no last number. The second infinite number system is the set of all real numbers, all rational and irrational numbers. Based on the second infinite number system, a footruler can measure many 1-D things (e.g., line) because it has an infinity of real numbers. And a yardstick can measure longer lines because it also has an infinity of real numbers. The real numbers can form 2-D things such as the S-plane of complex variables. The real numbers form other things such as 3-D geometrical objects.

The infinite and finite number systems and qualities found in the things in the universe are images of God. They are not things that a Big Bang thing produced and evolve from physical things, which reproduce from ancestors.

In this blog, I discuss the contribution of Georg Cantor (1845-1918) to man’s knowledge of God’s Intelligence Design. As a mathematician, Cantor develops a new system of numbers, which extend numbers beyond the system of finite numbers that we use every day. These new numbers are called transfinite numbers and open a new field of thought that give us a better understanding of God. I suggest the book " George Cantor: His Mathematics and Philosophy of the Infinite" by Joseph Warren Dauben. See Cantors pic on the left.

However, this new field of thought became essentially stagnant after Cantor died because of the wars during the 20th century and the drift into atheism in the 1970s. Today, many mathematicians and scientists have turned away from God and are building a system of thought in support of atheism. This turn is a serious error because it can destroy the founding of the USA as a nation under God.

The cause of the drift away from God can be found in changing meanings of the concepts ‘infinite’ and ‘whole.’ On the meaning of infinity, atheistic mathematicians say that only the mathematical infinity exists. On the meaning of a whole, the atheists say that a whole is equal to the sum of its parts. This means that all parts and the number of parts are finite. The two meanings of the atheists have not considered the work of Nicholas of Cusa, Galileo, Gottfried Leibniz, and Georg Cantor.

Cantor shows us that two different infinities exist. One infinity is the mathematical infinity as mathematicians say. However, the mathematical infinity is a variable that either grows beyond all limits (e.g., 1, 2, 3, ....) or diminishes to an arbitrary smallness, always remaining finite (e.g., 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ....). Cantor found the second infinity. This infinity is determinate and never changes.

The determinate infinite is used in the complex number system as a single determinate point on the S-plane. So the mathematician can study complex numbers around this determinate point. Since the determinate infinite is logically related to the concept ‘finite,’ the determinate infinite is the negative of ‘all finite things.’ I use this negative thinking in my book on ‘The First Scientific Proof of God.’ There, I say that the origin of ‘all finite things’ is a determinate and unchanging infinite thing. Isn’t an infinite thing God?

Since atheists say that a whole is equal to the sum of its parts, they must be viewing our universe as a container, like a glass that can be filled with water. So, if the universe is a container, the universe must have something inside or outside that contains all finite things. What are these containers?

Nicholas of Cusa, Galileo, and Gottfried Leibniz say that ‘a continuous quantity has been built up of an infinite number of indivisibles. So, every finite thing found in the universe is constructed of an infinite number of the true atoms that Leibniz identified.

Major contributors of knowledge about God’s Intelligent Design say that the universe is not a container. Instead, they say that each thing is related to all other thing and that these relations are functional relations. They also say that a finite thing is not related only to other finite things, They say that each finite thing is also related to the infinite thing that originates them. Since an infinite thing is also not a container, functional relations must also exist between an infinite thing and all finite things.

Obviously the second determinate infinite is necessary. And saying that all finite things have a finite number of parts is a false belief. Clearly, the atheists have made a huge error.

In this blog, I close my discussion of Gottfried Leibniz’s work on God’s Intelligent Design. Here, I discuss how Leibniz’s true atoms are organized and form a single universe.

This organizing method has a deep history in ancient Greece. Anaxagoras (500 BC-428 BC) gave it meaning with the statement ‘each thing in each thing.’ Jesus Christ uses this statement in John 14:20 where he says ‘ . . . ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.’ In his book ‘On Learned Ignorance,’ Nicholas of Cusa speaks of Anaxagoras’ statement in Book II, Ch. 5. Cusa says ‘God is in all things in such way that all things are in Hin.’ Further in the Preface to Second Edition of his book on ‘Critique of Pure Reason,’ Immanuel Kant says, ‘...in an organized body, every member exists for every other, and for the sake of each.’ Leibniz follows this organizing method. So, each true atom is in all other true atoms in a way so that all true atom form a single organization.

What did the word ‘in’ mean to these personalities? The Greeks and Jesus did not view things as containers, as we say that a glass can contain water. To all of these personalities, things were viewed as ‘things-in-themselves.’ So, things do not exist in other things.

The togetherness of different things was not solved until (1) the word ‘relation’ appeared, (2) scientists found that relations are not physical things, and (3) ‘functional relations’ could be studied with the infinitesimal calculus of Leibniz. Thus, Leibniz’s true atoms thus form a single universe if they become functionally related. Obviously, these functional relations form a very complex universe. Finding a functional relation is a spiritual tool only of human minds.

To understand this complex universe, Leibniz says that some true atoms are dominating. Here, we see the origin of all genera, species, and things. Further, some true atoms will perceive clearly. But the perception of other true atoms is confused. Here, we see the separation of nonliving and living things. Furthermore, since no vacuums will be found in Leibniz’s universe, the universe is a continuum of finite things. And as I say in my book, The First Scientific Proof of God, the origin of all of these finite things must originate in an infinite thing, which I call God.

Today, many physical scientists became atheists because they do not study ‘all finite things.’ Instead, they believe that the universe can be understood only with processes. Today, all biologists believe that all living things originate in a physical process. This is why they promote Darwin’s evolutionary theory. Leibniz would not agree with these physicists and biologists.

Help Remaking America by George Shollenberger, Idea 100 + XXII (Intelligent Design, Xc)

In this blog, I discuss the ‘atoms of substance’ of Gottfried Leibniz (1646-1716). All scientists believe that atoms form visible ‘matter,’ which reveals all things found in the universe. To a believer, these atoms are thought to be the first things to appear in the universe as a result of God’s act to unfold his orderly Intelligent Design of the universe.

Because many physicists became atheists by the 1970s, Leibniz’s atoms of substance have left the scene of science in favor of physical atoms that John Locke identified. Initially, modern physicists assumed that Locke’s atoms were those found on the Periodic Chart that was hanging on the wall of every chemistry room. But scientists eventually found that the chemist’s atoms were divisible and could be smashed into many parts. Today, physical scientists are still seeking any kind of physical atom.

Leibniz’ atoms are true atoms, which are irreducible, immortal, and never change. His atoms are not passive as a physical atom would be. The true atom is active (or passive) and perceptive. It is thus in the true atom we find what is called the soul. A soul is thus found in every thing in the universe.

Since the true atom is active, Leibniz equates his atoms to the entelechies of the Greeks and calls his true atom a ‘monad.’ A monad is ‘one’ and has an infinite number of indivisible parts as Galileo would say. The monad is thus an image of God. They are images of God because God is a pure whole that has no parts. The monads are thus the souls that religions have not defined.

Because I view the universe as an organization of finite things, I call Leibniz’s true atoms as ‘spiritual atoms.’ I made this change so that I can refer to them, the finite things they form, and God as spiritual things. By viewing God and his creations as an organization of spiritual things, all of my saying about God, the universe, and life become very clear, distinct, and consistent.

It is with Leibniz’s atoms that I distinguish myself from all atheists and atheistic cosmological theories such as the Big Bang theory.

In this blog, I discuss the contributions of Gottfried Leibniz (1646-1716) to man’s knowledge of God’s Intelligent Design in more detail. I begin by informing you about Leibniz’s new meanings of ‘space’ and ‘time.’ These meanings are then compared with the current meanings of ‘space’ and ‘time’ of physical scientists.

To Leibniz, space is the order of co-existences and time is the order of suceessions. His space thus has things but no vacuums. This is Leibniz’s togetherness of God and his e universe. For instance, as a co-existing thing, God created you and placed you into the universe to function as a human being in an orderly manner. As a co-existing thing, God created you also with time so that you can function forever as a human being. Thus, you live forever. God’s gift of life after death is has many signs. For instance, we can see one sign of your differing function as time passes, a second sign of God’s continuous care for you, and a third sign that tells us that both God and the universe have no end. My proof of God scientifically in my book and Galileo’s proof that all bodies have an infinite number of parts aligns to Leibniz’s meanings of space and time. Unfortunately, this universe of leibniz cannot be proven or falsified.

The meanings given by physicists to space and time are very different because they align to atheism and a godless universe. Such a universe has an end and provides no life after death. This different universe was initially offered by England’s Isaac Newton at the time Leibniz was still living. This is why Leibniz sought a debate with Newton. To Newton, a volume of space preexists absolutely and has the potential to contain things. Then, when things become actual, this universe has the potential to contain vacuums. This volume of space is known as 3-D, which is known as Euclidean geometry. Then, when time becomes a reality, the universe begins. However, since the energy of this universe is finite, the universe must come to an end.

Newton’s initial meaning of space was rejected in the 19th century by mathematicians who found non-Euclidean geometries. Further, in 1905, Newton’s initial meaning of space was also rejected by Albert Einstein, who found that space is something relative rather than absolute. Since 1905, physicists began to seek a new universe. With no success, they tried to unify space and time. Today, the unity of space and time has been packed into a new universe called the Big Bang theory. In this theory, a new universe begins when the space and time are unified and causes a high energy ‘Big Bang’ physical particle to explode. In time, it is said that this high energy cools and exposes all things and vacuums. Unfortunately, this new universe cannot be proven or falsified.

So man has developed a major question that cannot be answered. Nicholas of Cusa warned us about discovering such questions that cannot be answered or proven. And Immanuel Kant warned us about our inability to achieve the level of pure reason, where atheists believe that all possible knowledge will be found. Leibniz knew that pure reason was an attribute only of God. So in his Monadology, Leibniz says that we can develop ‘sufficient reasons’ to increase our consciousness.

However, in the first two paragraphs of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, our founders say that the United States of America must be built as a nation under God. So the people of USA should be seeking a life under God. I reject those lawyers who say the Declaration of Independence is only an authority to go to war with England. I say that the first two paragraphs contain an authority to build a Union under God.

The people of the USA must stop and think because they must choose immediately whether they want to live with God or want to live without God. The people of no nation can live both ways because these two forms of life are like night and day. If people decide to live without God, then life after death does not exist. But if they take this path, I conclude that wars and slavery will become the only form of life that will develop as man’s greed and search for power increases.

Remaking America by George Shollenberger, Idea 100 + XX (Intelligent Design, Xa)

In this blog, I discuss the contributions of Gottfried Leibniz (1646-1716) to man’s knowledge of God’s Intelligence Design. His major work challenges the universe developed by England’s Isaac Newton (1642-1727) and the physical atoms developed by England’s John Locke (1632-1704). I agree with Leibniz’s challenges because I disagree with Newton’s ‘billiard-ball’ universe and Locke’s physical atoms. Instead, I agree with Leibniz’s universe (or New System), his indivisible atoms, and his new meanings of space and time. Leibniz’s popular infinitesimal calculus originated during the development of his New System. My book on ‘The First Scientific Proof of God’ presents his New Syetem.

Leibniz sought a debate with Locke on atoms. But Locke died before it was started. His preparation for this debate is found in ‘New Essays on Human Understanding.’ It is translated by Peter Remnant & Jonathan Bennett in 1982. The New System, the indivisible atoms, the new meaning of space and time, and the debate with Samuel Clarke on Newton’s universe are found in the 1973 book on ‘The Philosophy of Leibniz’ by G. H. R. Parkinson.

The above work of Leibniz is connected to the indivisibles of Nicholas of Cusa and Galileo. Leibniz shows these connections on pages 120-121 of Parkinson’s book, There, Leibniz says, ‘The atoms of matter are contrary to reason, besides the fact that they also are composed of parts, ... It is only atoms of substance, that is to say unites which are real and absolutely with no parts, ... They might be called metaphysical points: ..." The atoms of substance are developed in his Monadology. To modernize them, in my book, I call them spiritual atoms. They are the souls of everything found in the universe. In humans, the soul is mind. All atoms of substance are immortal and cannot be destroyed by nature. Thus, human life is continuous and endless.

Since humans and lower animals are perceiving things and can sense things, the perception of God is absolute. Although humans cannot perceive God, human perceptions can conceive God with reason. Since God’s perception is absolute, God can perceive the behavior of every substantial atom. Thus, an important question is, ‘Is God active or passive with respect to these substantial atoms? In my book, I show that God and man can exchange information. I also show that God is connected to his creation. So I conclude that God is active.

The work of Leibniz and Parkinson’s 1973 book are needed by every nation. But Parkinson’s book came too late to install in the USA. Thus, it was too late to prevent the assassination of President Kennedy, prevent the development of a drug culture in the 1960s, stop the U.S. Supreme Court from removing school prayers in 1967, and stop U.S. colleges and universities from turning away from God. Without the Parkinson book, by 2009 the education of U.S. citizens lost its world leadership.

After the USA landed on the moon, almost forty years passed. During this period, science fell and technology began to rise. When will science return to its position of leading technology?
