II. How the Universe Operates
This is an ebook in pdf format which encapsulates the
content of various papers on this website. It takes the
facts about the universe and its operations exposed by
modern science and analyses them in accordance with a
metaphysical, rather than materialistic, view of the
universe; that is, one grounded in Aristotle’s doctrine of
causality and his division of being into substance and
accidents.
We are all of us affected by the current philosophical
errors—materialism and subjectivism—and tend to view the
universe through the eyes of modern science in conformity
with those errors. The view propounded here is radically
different from modern science’s view. In particular, it
addresses the nonsense of a self-existent ‘nothing’—a
scientific view grounded in the imagination rather than in
reality; the remarkable fact that the heavenly bodies
operate in a fashion which is the reverse of the way
bodies operate under gravity’s influence; that gravity is
NOT caused by a species of attraction but by a force of
repulsion; and that, consistent with this view, the
phenomenon of the tides is readily explained by the
barycentripetal force of the Earth-Moon coupling. Its
most radical assertion is that c, ‘the speed of light’, is
not the speed of light at all, but the speed according to
which light’s proper substance, Aristotle’s ‘heavenly
body’ or aether, dictates that light (and all other
electromagnetic forces) shall operate. more

III. The Pompous Atheist
This ebook addresses the endemic modern problem of
atheism—belief in no-God. Atheists assert that they are
above superstition, the ‘superstition’ of religious belief,
but it is not true. Not only are they believers, they are
believers without the slightest evidence of that in which
they believe. They are the real exponents of ‘religious
liberty’ for they insist on the freedom to believe there is
no God. Their every action involves acceptance of
causation. But, obsessed with an idea, they choose to deny
causations’s reality when it comes to their own essence and
existence. In this series of essays we have endeavoured to
make it plain just how stupid is the atheistic thesis.
It is reasonable to believe in God, no matter how confused
one’s belief may be. The fundamental issues are these: 1. I
did not bring myself into existence; 2. I do not keep
myself in existence; 3. in this world of reality I am one
of the privileged beings for not only do I know singular
things, like brute animals, but I know their very natures;
4. nothing exists without an adequate cause—and that
includes me! Moreover, 5. the one who caused me must be
living and intellectual, as I am living and intellectual—but
an immensely greater being.
It is hoped that the presentation of these essays will
assist the reader in resisting the temptation to embrace the
atheistic virus. more
