This site contains considerable information not directly related to this book. In 1979, I originated the mathematical analysis that shows that the production of physical-systems and alterations in their behavior are intelligently designed. My analysis (the GID-model, GID) is not related, in method, to the inadequate and highly criticized Johnson-Dembski-Behe theory (RID) as championed by members of the Discovery Institute. The GID-model (General Intelligent Design Model) is NOT the intelligent design notion discussed on Wikipedia under the heading "intelligent design" and, indeed, contradicts much written there about intelligent design. The page Science Declares Our Universe IS Intelligently Designed gives additional and important information about the only book that discusses GID. These models have purely secular and theological interpretations. Theologically, the General Grand Unification Model (GGU-model) and its GID interpretation form an analogue model for processes that, in their combined and most general form, can be intuitively described as transforming God's thoughts into physical reality.

IMPORTANT NOTE for those who are primarily interested in the GGU or GID models. The above book is a necessary introduction to the GGU and GID-models. It uses the view that our universe is a vast collection of physical-systems and the notion of the "ultimate ultraword." A second new approach that eliminates one of the ultimate ultrawords is now used. It employs only a single "ultraword" for each specific universe and incorporates the notion of emergent properties. (Technically, this approach uses the theorems in section 4 of this paper.) The above book does discuss how a single ultraword behaves. Once these "book" concepts are understood, then the single ultraword approach will also be understood. In order to better comprehend the GGU or GID-models, you should first read this introduction to some of the basic concepts used.
Special Articles.
Who is Jesus?
God, as He is Biblically described, is a scientifically rational concept. The introduction gives the reasons why it is important that the rationality of this concept be established. This significant result should be known by all of humankind. (This is a specific example of modern mathematical philosophy.) This paper defines the notion of the mathematical infinite and shows that, although the strength of God's comparative attributes and intelligence can be modeled mathematically, the mathematics apparently cannot model an ultimate (i.e. absolute) bound for such strengths. The mathematics does imply that accepting such an ultimate bound is a rational hypothesis.
This extremely important paper on "processes" is a rather detailed, general and technical, GGU and GID-model outline for the construction of our universe. (Any GGU-model universe can also be described as an "information (controlled) universe.") This refines and simplifies the basic approach discussed in the above book and emergent properties are included as well as the GID-interpretation. This is the html version.
At this section (#8) is additional information on General Intelligent Design and the GGU-model. There is a link to my Journal of Creation 2009 article comparing the two forms of intelligent design and a second article comparing these two concepts. This article on GID Evidence discusses the evidence that shows that every second trillions upon trillions of physical events occur that imply that our universe is intelligently designed.
****During creation day-four, there is a problem with scientifically relating starlight to the Biblical time-frame. In this article are two papers, one with and one without mathematical symbols and terminology, and using a DVD illustration, solves this starlight and time problem. Further, in a step-by-step developmental manner, this model can produce any of the known scientific cosmologies. This is the Rapid-Formation Model (RFM). This third article contains a descriptive theologically based DVD illustration for the entire Genesis1 sequence and includes application of the RFM.****
This paper on Thought Control shows that certain mental processes can be influenced by the actions of defined immaterial entities. These entities are identified and produce results similar to those discussed by Eccles and Robinson (The Wonder of Being Human, Our Brain and Our Mind, The Free Press, 1984). These processes are distinct from those used for the secular GGU-model and, hence, do not alter GGU-model conclusions.
Did God create the material world from nothing? Further, is the concept of omnipotent logically contradictory? Can God create a stone He cannot left? I also answer the questions How Can the Earth be Both 4.5 Billion and 6,000 Years Old? and Am I a YEC?. For each theologically related paper that appears on this website, this short article explains my personal theory of Biblical interpretation.
This partially technical paper shows that questions posed by the Templeton Prize winner Michael Heller have been answered previously. Terms taken from the above book are used. In the technical part, it is shown that, for a concept represented by a specific set of examples, there is an "ultraconcept" that rationally implies each of the examples. A few applications are given.

- 2A. (T) The Best Possible Unification for Any Collection of Physical Theories,
(Internat. J. Math. Math. Sci., 17(2004):861-872.) It is well known that even if the particle physics community produces a physical theory that unifies the four fundamental interactions (forces) that, due to emerging properties, such a unification will not produce a unification for the set of all physical properties and scientific physical theories that appear to govern appropriate natural-system behavior. On page 9 of 0306147.pdf, the material contained in the paragraph that follows Theorem 4.1 shows that the "best" unification for the set of all such physical theories exists. The definition for this unification also leads to a logic-system that yields the unification.

3A. (G - T) Modeling Divine Attributes.
At the end of my testimony, I mention my 1978 mathematical modeling discoveries. This brief article explains the simplest aspects of how Divine attributes as well as various "trinity" notions can be mathematically modeled. Further, I describe how it is possible to show that the God of the Bible is a scientifically rational concept and that everything that exists today is indirect evidence for His existence.
- 4. (G - T) What is Creationary Science? The Scientific Methods I Use.
This article is relative to the basic scientific methods as employed today. In particular, those methods used throughout much of creationary science, secular physical science and how these methods relate to the contributes I have made to creationary science. I present specifically the methods I use.

Theological concepts that govern the Templeton Foundation and their relation to basic Christian doctrine are fully investigated and the source of the Templeton Foundation theological doctrine is identified. At the end, a link to a different analysis by AIG is also provided.
- 6. (G - T) The Major Paul Davies Hypotheses are Invalid.
In this article, it is first shown via Aristotle's correspondence property for "truth" that Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem is true. That it leads to no contradictions. It is shown that the mathematical notion of "truth" in a model is true via Aristotle's correspondence property. The theological implications of Davies conclusions are shown to be false. One of Paul Davies major hypotheses is the claim that the laws of nature have a special property called Turing computability and as such the universe in which we dwell can be simulated by what is technically called a universal Turing machine or computer. It has been stated that this hypothesis has led to significant "Progress in Religion." However, such "Progress" has not occurred, since this Davies hypothesis is false. I specifically refute this hypothesis by using the 1977 Paris-Harrington theorem for which an explicit example is given. Explicit examples are also given that lead to tangible physical results that cannot be produced by a universal Turing machine.
- 7. (G - T) Important Comments on the Ministry of Hugh Ross Ph.D.
In this comment, I have found it necessary to discuss the relation between the Hugh Ross ministry "Reasons to Believe," the concept of the false prophet or false apostle, and creationary models that have a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof.

8. (G) Science Declares Our Universe IS Intelligently Designed.
I am the originator of the notion that mathematical analysis can be applied to establish that natural-system behavior is intelligently designed, and produced, sustained or guided by intelligent agents. This conclusion is one aspect of General Intelligent Design theory (GID). GID is an interpretation of the General Grand Unification model (GGU-model), the first general Theory of Everything. The GGU-model is physical in character. Indeed, the GGU-model can be considered as a "larger" more complex physical environment in which universes are embedded. However, the mathematical operators used for the physical model also have various intelligent agent signatures. The interpreted GGU-model is so highly scientific in character that when any individual conducts a scientific experiment and verifies an inductive or deductive statement, then this also verifies the GGU-model. Previously, all of my scientific results have appeared in "journal form." But, because of the false impression given by other individuals that they originated this notion, I have written a non-technical, yet, complete book on the GID-model and aspects of the fundamental GGU-model. This book contains a large amount of new information and many illustrations not available from any of my Internet articles or books. It covers the three basic interpretations - purely physical, intelligent design, and, in a brief 22 page section, some theological interpretations. This book is available as indicated above. GID is considerably more significant than the notion of "intelligent design" (RID or restricted design theory) as championed by Behe, Dembski, Johnson and others. There are no mathematical "proofs" in this book, although all of my major results are predicted mathematically. The book presents in an informal conversational style the complete detailed conclusions of this 30-year research project. This book should be comprehensible by individuals who have had a college level course that scientifically examines physical-system behavior.
On this web site, I have various links that discuss aspects of GGU-model and add new material. This important link is to a very brief article that compares certain linguistic differences between the GID notion of a higher-intelligence and the RID notion of intelligence. Further, it contrasts these notions theologically. This article The two meanings for modern intelligent design, published 2009, is an important article on the RID and GID-model differences and criticisms. For physical universes, this is a more technical article than the previous link that establishes the significance of the General Intelligent Design model (general design theory) as compared with the restricted design theory being popularized by the Discovery Institute, please see (G) A Comparison: General Design Versus Restricted Design Theory. This is a summary of some additional physical universe results using an interpretation in terms of intelligent agents and intelligent design. This is a more complete non-technical discussion of GID-model conclusions with a few illustrations and contains a not necessary but significant Scriptural interpretation.
In this article, I give a simple illustration of how the
mental processes change descriptions, pictures and other such information into reality. By comparison, the mental process are those that one would associate with a higher-intelligence not located within any physical universe.
The paper (G) My Intelligent Design Priority establishes my priority in this area of intelligent design. Further, this is a Glossary of GGU-model terms.
This article on GID Evidence discusses the evidence that shows that every second trillions upon trillions of physical events occur that imply that our universe is intelligently designed.
The very important paper (G - T) "The Fundamental Universe-Generating Processes" is a rather detailed GGU and GID-model outline for the construction of universes. Emergent properties are included as well as the GID-interpretation. This is the html version.
In this book, I use a correct notion for information termed specific information. Recently such information has been extended to included (informational) instructions. This brief paper shows how the results from this book "define" specific information. Instructions are defined and presented in the Fundamental Processes article.

- Article 4, above, A U-Cosmology describes a Biblically literal model that reveals immensely powerful Divine creationary processes. This older article should be considered as subsidiary to the above book "Science Declares . . ." and other newer material that appears on this web site. It was produced prior to this book. It does give a purely scientifically generated model for Biblical creation that could be useful and it describes those specific Divine mechanisms that allow God to have knowledge of the past, the present and the future, and still allow for great alterations in physical-system behavior as well as free-will. It contains useful Biblical statements that interpretations of the GGU-model satisfy.

This is an introductory course for the GD-world and MA-model portion of the GGU-model as they can be interpreted theologically. This short course consists of a series of 13 e-mail postings that were presented to a special Internet group.
- 12. (T) The Wondrous Design and Non-random Character of Chance Events.
In this article, it is shown specifically that physical-system chance events as represented by theory predicted (a priori) probabilistic statements used in such realms as modern particle physics, among others, are only random relative to the restricted language of the theory that predicts such behavior. It is shown that all such "chance" physical events are related one-to-another by a remarkably designed, systematic and wondrous collection of equations that model how the physical laws and processes specifically yield such physical events. A second result shows theoretically that all such "chance" behavior is caused by the application of well-defined ultralogics. These results show specifically that the fundamental underlying behavior associated with all physical systems that comprise our universe is controlled internally by processes that cannot be differentiated from those that mirror the behavior of an infinitely powerful mind.
From a Scriptural viewpoint, these results reveal signatures for God that represent His continual presence and control over all aspects of the physical universe.
- 12A (G - T) Abuses of Randomness In this brief article, I show once again that the use of the terms "random" and "disorder" with their common meaning within scientific literature are used only for psychological and philosophic reasons. The basic meanings for these terms no longer exist from the view point of General Intelligent Design theory. Indeed, it has never been necessary to use these terms when describing physical-system behavior. A new term "mindom" is proposed as a replacement for both of these terms. Mindom is a term that describes the actual facts.
- 13. Randomness and Evolutionary Cosmology - A Strong Deception.
This brief article is my attempt to eliminate the ignorance displayed by members of the atheistic, "probabilistic" or "evolutionary" scientific communities relative to "randomness" and "inanimate evolutionary cosmology" and exactly what my three complementary articles on this subject have established mathematically.
- 14. (G) A Personal Statement. These very significant statements describe the history of a miraculous event that has determined my entire theological endeavors from 30 June 1983 until the present.
The last paragraph of this statement contains an important message to any individual who does not truly believe in the God of the Scriptures
- 14A. (G - T) A Miracle Producing Mechanism
This very brief article discusses a recent result that shows how a specific member of the General Grand Unification Model, when theologically interpreted, can be used to produce what would be acknowledged by many as miracles.
- 15. (G) Additional Personal Statements.
Although the GGU-model rationally satisfies numerously many secular interpretations for the formation and evolutionary development of our universe, it also shows that various theological interpretations are rational possibilities. In these four statements, I describe my acceptance of a specific creationary science scenario for the creation of our universe. In particular, I give evidence for the acceptance of one such interpretation that upholds the rationality of a strict literally interpreted Genesis 1 - 8 scenario. The processes employed yield a "young" original Earth and also yield a universe (including our local environment and our present day earth) that gives the appearance of being billions of years old. Further, this model explains why there exists physical evidence for both a young earth and an ancient earth.
- 15A. (G) What Can Be Known
As fully explained in the above book, the GGU-model gives insight into a rational discussion of what humankind can actually "know," at present, about certain significant concepts. These brief remarks use the notion of "creation out of nothing" as a basic illustration.
16. (G) Your Endangered Mind: The Great Scientific Deception, Christian Version. Many members of the scientific community have tried frantically to prevent you from reading this very important book. This book as well as the one below contains material that is different from that which appears in "Science Declares Our Universe IS Intelligently Designed."
- 17. (G) Your Endangered Mind: The Great Scientific Deception, Original Secular Version.
The basic personal conclusions established by the MA-model apply to every intelligent life form within the universe. The physical applications are independent from any other scientific theory. To show this, I present the original slightly more detailed secular version written in HTML and presented in one compressed zip file with images.

My General Intelligent Design (GID) theory requires, for the mathematics, Nonstandard Analysis. This book presents the simplest possible nonstandard approach to the material in a basic undergraduate first course in real analysis. This is one or two step beyonds the usual calculus courses. After considering the material presented, you would need to continue to the next level of nonstandard analysis as contained in the other free books, in this subject, listed on this web site or at arxiv.org. (GID theory requires the material in book #3 as listed above.)

- 19. (G - T) Thought Control
In this paper, scientifically described processes are used to show how certain mental processes can be influenced by the actions of defined immaterial entities. These entities are theologically identified and produce results similar to those discussed by Eccles and Robinson (The Wonder of Being Human, Our Brain and Our Mind, The Free Press, 1984) and by Popper.
