Excerpts From The Green Books
Green Books:
Introduction:
A common-sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a superintellect has played with physics, chemistry, and biology and that there are no blind forces worth discussing in nature.
The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question.
The Universe:
THE COSMOS IS FIT FOR LIFE IN FAR MORE WAYS THAN TOUCHED ON HERE:
But the evidence we’ve discussed relating to the harnessing of fire is nonetheless instructive.
The same atmosphere that is fit for men’s and women’s respiration and fire (or combustion) also fits in completely different ways for photosynthesis by allowing through just the right light and excluding the dangerous wavelengths in the far UV, gamma, and X-ray regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
So the atmosphere that is fit for fire and men’s and women’s respiration is the very same atmosphere that is fit to produce the necessary reactants, reduced carbon compounds, and oxygen for both fire and respiration in the first place.
Again, nature's fitness for fire at ambient temperatures is also highly fortunate.
The temperature range that is suitable for organic chemistry and hence for the existence of carbon-based life forms like ourselves is also the temperature range in which water is a liquid, the one fluid that is uniquely and supremely suitable for life on Earth in so many ways.
Although the current Zeitgeist would have us believe that people are little more than a cosmic accident, one of a million different possible outcomes that happened to arrive and survive on an unexceptional planet, the evidence examined in this lesson suggests otherwise. Whatever the causation of the fine-tuning, we are no accident of deep time and chance.
On the contrary, as knowledge in the form of freedom is proclaimed, from the moment of creation, the universe in some sense must have known that we were coming.
Green Book One:
Knowledge:
After the creation of man, the Creator said unto him:
That thou shalt know thou art the work of My hand, I have given thee capacity for knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.
This was the first era.
Man was helpless, crawling on his belly, and he did not understand the voice of the Almighty.
Therefore, Allah called his Angels, who were older than the sun, moon, and stars, and he said unto them:
Go ye, raise man upright and teach him to understand.
The angels of heaven descended to the earth and raised man upright on his feet.
Then man roamed the planet.
This was the second era.
The angels of Allah taught the original people of the earth to dwell together in cities and nations.
This was the third era.
At that same time, the Beast rose before man and spoke to him, saying: Possess whatsoever you want, for all things are yours and are suitable for you. Man obeyed the Beast, and war came into the world.
This was the fourth era.
Man was sick at heart, and he called out to the Beast, saying:
You said:
Possess thyself of all things, for they are suitable for thee. Now, behold, war and death have encompassed me on all sides. I pray thee, therefore, teach me peace! The Beast said:
Think not I come to send peace on the earth; I come not to send peace, but a sword. I come to set a man at variance against his father and a daughter against her mother. Whatsoever you find to eat, be it fish or flesh, eat thou thereof, taking no thought of tomorrow. Man ate fish and flesh, becoming carnivorous, and darkness came upon him, and he could not hear the voice of the All in all, or believe in the science of life.
This was the fifth era.
