This site contains considerable information neither directly related to this book nor the GGU-model. The mathematical model discussed has three interpretations, intelligent design, theological and secular. The model has applications to many theological topics. It establishes the rationality of significant theological concepts.

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. 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, establish that the described Biblical attributes and behavior of God are scientifically rational in content. Further, the modeled creationary processes can be intuitively described as transforming God's thoughts into physical reality. It is also shown how the language can be modified so that all conclusions refer to secular notions. My professional biography.

IMPORTANT NOTE. 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 might consider first reading this introduction.

Relative to the GGU-model, if you don't have difficulty using symbol-strings as abbreviations, then this article on instruction-information, presents, in a clear, simply and illustrated manner, one of the most important, if not the most important, concepts that I have detailed for the GGU-model. I also introduce the Physical Grand Unification (PGU) Model .

Special Articles.

Before proceeding, the following should be considered. What might prevent you from comprehending various articles on this website.

An answer to the question Who is Jesus? A very brief statement on adverse theological doctrine. What is the strict literal meaning of Genesis 1:1 - 2:1 as originally presented?

A challenge to the atheistic and the liberal church critics of my work.

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.

There is a simplified, yet detailed, important article for the general and technical GGU and GID-model, respectively, for the construction of any 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 the simplified, yet detailed, version. This article is an additional simplification for the construction of our universe and it presents a complete Biblical interpretation.

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. It illustrates the step-by-step Genesis 1 ordered sequence of events. Any creationary model that does not preserve this sequence should be rejected.****

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.

Except in an appendix, the major articles on this website do not contain any mathematical derivations. Some of my IJMMS published papers were poorly edited. Please go to arxiv.org for archived versions.
