Subtitled-Is the stage set for the End Times?
" Israel must be wiped off the map" Iran president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said it himself. He has denied the Holocaust, and his actions are motivated by a dangerous apocalyptic view of Islam. Meanwhile, Islamic extremists are in hot pursuit of nuclear weapons as they stand as gatekeepers to the Persian Gulf oil.
In a prophecy written over 2500 years ago, Ezekiel 38-39 foretells Iran's future. Iran, Russia, and other Islamic nations will invade Israel in the end times.Today, the connection between Iran and Russia grows stronger.
How close is this invasion?
Taking On Tehran---Ilan Berman
Subtitled-Strategies for confronting the Islamic Republic
Taking on Tehran provides concrete solutions for confronting the Iranian global threat. The aggressive policy recommendations call for a multidimensional confrontation and containment of Iran with a proactive movement toward regime change.

The Final Move Beyond Iraq---Mike Evans
An Islamic revolution is spreading and is on the brink of becoming America's greatest threat since the Civil War.
Immediate withdrawal from Iraq would be disastrous and embolden terrorists to attack America at home.
Iran is playing a major role in the current violence.
The U.S. must strike Iran within the next twelve months, or the next president may be presiding over a nuclear 9/11.

Target Iran---Scott Ritter
Subtitled : The Truth About the White House's Plans for Regime Change
It is Mr Ritter's contention that the Busch Administration's primary tool of foreign policy is regime change. The story is that America is already working inside Iran with dissidents to identify targets. We are already negotiating the details for the staging areas for our base of attack for this widening of the middle east war. Once that is completed, the U. S. will attack.
The reason this will happen is primarily the U. S. support for Israel. Many believe this support is associated with the Jews rebuilding their temple on the temple mount which will usher in the return of Jesus second coming. The Antichrist Bible of World Peace goes into this unbelievable scenario in great detail, and attempts a reconciliation between Jews, Christians, and Muslims.

In Whom We Live and Move and Have Our Being-----Philip Clayton and Arthur Peacocke editors
Subtitled--Panentheistic Reflections on God's Presence in a Scientific World
This book about God's relationship to the created world grew out of a symposium sponsored by the John Templeton Foundation. The initiative is inherently interdisciplinary and sensitive to nuance, in biased in favor of building linkages and connections , and promotes risk-taking discussion that leads to the generation of new ideas for writing , teaching, and research. It assumes a willingness to experiment on the part of all participants. Sir John Templeton believes that in their quest to comprehend ultimate reality, scientists, philosophers, and theologians have much to learn about and from one another. That those who gathered within the walls of Windsor Castle on December 6, 7, and 8, 2001 did so in very considerable measure is indicated by the essays in this book.

God, Humanity and the Cosmos-----A Textbook in Science and Religion
Sir John Templeton's foundation generously presented a grant for the creation of this wonderful book. I don't think the average person realizes what Sir John has done to provide humankind with the best explanation for " all that is ". Here he provides a forum for some of the most respected scientists/theologians in the world to come together and think. Many contributors have won his annual million dollar prize.
This book is a systematic exploration of contemporary perspectives in physics, evolutionary biology and psychology as they relate to theological descriptions of the universe, humanity and consciousness.
It's a matter of offering a model with integrity, and capable of changing the perspective of our Abrahamic Traditions without destroying the belief systems themselves. Soon enough, folks will realize that the survival of civilization depends on this--and the time is near.....

Science and Creation-----John Polkinghorne
The " communication of information " in science offers some interesting parallels with the biblical view of the Divine Word in creation. Information is an important concept in several fields of science (DNA in organisms, programs in computers, the neural structures in the brain) . Polkinghorne suggests that God's activity in the world can be thought of as the communication of information.
The self organization of complex systems has been correlated with a model of God as the designer of a self organizing process. In short, methodological and conceptual parallels, like presuppositions and limit questions, offer the possibility of significant dialogue between science and religion while preserving the integrity of each field.

Paths From Science Towards God-----Arthur Peacocke
Peacocke believes that both science and theology aim to depict reality, that they both do so in metaphorical language with the use of models, and that their metaphors and models are revisable within the context of the continuous communities which have generated them. For it is also the aim of theology to tell as true a story as possible. Hence the religious quest must have intellectual integrity and take into account the realities unveiled by twenty first century science. These are, needless to say markedly different from those understood by Dante, let alone those understood two to three millennial ago when the Judaeo-Christian literature of the Bible which has so shaped our religious models and literature was assembled.
Peacocke believes that God designed a system of law and chance through which higher forms of life would slowly come into being. Here God is at work continuously creating in and through the stuff of the world he had endowed with those very potentialities. The images of an improvising choreographer or composer imply an active, continuing relationship with the world, and Peacocke specifically defends the idea of continuing creation.

When Science Meets Religion-----Ian G. Barbour
We have all heard of debates between atheistic scientists and biblical literalists concerning Darwin's theory of evolution. But between these extremes have been many scientists and theologians who have believed in both evolution and God. From the scientific side, new concepts of complexity and self-organization have been used to portray the emergence of a hierarchy of higher levels. Some scientists have emphasized the role of information in molecular biology, evolutionary history, and embryonic development and suggest that the form of relationships is more important than the matter in which it is expressed.
On the theological side, many scientists/theologians have rejected the medieval view of a static universe in which all creatures were created in their present forms. They have explored the idea of a dynamic universe created over a long period of time by a God who is immanent in nature but also transcends nature. They hold that such a model of continuing creation is in harmony with the biblical understanding of the Holy Spirit as active in nature as well as in human life.

Enter Sir John Templeton
After the heavy dose of atheism provided by the following books authored by Dawkins, Dennett, and Harris ; you would almost be persuaded that there is no God. Especially, the God of Abraham.
However, Sir John Templeton has the goal of advancing humankind's spiritual information by more than one hundredfold, and Sir John has a lot of loot. Knowledge in medicine, astronomy, genetics, and cosmology have grown exponentially over the past century. Sir John Templeton offers a prize of one million dollars every year to the individual who offers discoveries and breakthroughs in human perceptions of Divine creativity. The science- religion dialogue has been in progress for about fifteen years.

The God Deluison-----Richard Dawkins
If the demise of God will leave a gap, different people will find it in different ways. My way includes a good dose of science, the honest and systematic endeavour to find out the truth about the real world. I see the human effort to understand the universe as a model-building enterprise. Each of us builds, inside our heads, a model of the world in which we find ourselves. The minimal model of the world is the model our ancestors needed in order to survive in it..............Richard Dawkins
We totally agree with Richard Dawkins. However, we feel that the model for the God of Abraham is what civilization needs to survive in the world we find ourselves.

Breaking The Spell-----Daniel C. Dennett
Today we have the phenomenon brewing on the religious right : the inevitability of the End Days, or the Rapture, the comming Armageddon that will seperate the blessed from the damned in the final Day of Judgement. Cults and prophets proclaiming the imminent end of the world have been with us for several millennia, and it has been another sour sort of fun to ridicule them the morning after, when they discover that their calculations were a little off.
Just as with the Marxists, there are some among them who are workng hard to " hasten the inevitable ", not merely anticipating the End Days with joy in their hearts, but taking political action to bring about the conditions they think are the prerequisites for that occasion. And these people are not funny at all. They are dangerous. Are they the lunatic fringe?
They are certainly dangerously out of touch with reality, but it is hard to know how many they are. Are their numbers growing? Apparently. Are they attempting to gain positions of power and influence in the governments of the world? Apparently.
Should we know all about this phenomenon? We certainly should.........Daniel C. Dennett

The End Of Faith-----Sam Harris
What will we do if an Islamist regime, which grows dewy-eyed at the mere mention of paradise, ever acquires long-range nuclear weaponry? If history is any guide, we will not be sure where the offending warheads are or what their state of readiness is, and so we will be unable to rely on targeted , conventional weapons to destroy them.
In such a situation, the only thing likely to ensure our survival may be a NUCLEAR FIRST STRIKE of our own............Sam Harris

God is not Great-----Christopher Hitchens
On a certain day in the spring of 2006, President Ahmadinejad of Iran, accompanied by his cabinet, made a procession to the site of a well between the capital of Tehran and the holy city of Qum. This is said to be the cistern where the Twelfth or "occulted" or "hidden " Imam took refuge in the year 873, at the age of five, never to be seen again until his long-awaited and beseeched reappearance will astonish and redeem the world. On arrival, Ahmadinejad took a scroll of paper and thrust it down the aperture, so as to update the occulted one on Iran's progress in thermonuclear fission and the enrichment of uranium........
