  • THE FORERUNNER REFORMATION ATTEMPTS:
    • JOHN WYCLIFFE:  Founded the Lollards. They were an anti-clerical group of English Christians who lived between the late 14th and early 16th centuries. The Lollards protested the corruption and excesses of the Catholic Church. Also protested were certain doctrines, e.g., purgatory.
    • Wycliffe translated the Latin Bible into English in 1382.
    • Wycliffe influenced Jan Hus.
    • Wycliffe died of a stroke.
    • The Catholic Church dug up Wycliffe’s bones, burned them, and threw the ashes in a river.
    • JAN HUS:  
    • Founded the Bohemian Reformation in Prague in the second half of the 14th century.
    • The translation of the Bible into Czech in the mid-14th century aided the reformation efforts.
    • His reformation was a protest against the Church’s immoral practices, incorrect doctrines, and financial excesses.
    • He started the Unity of the Brethren Church. It ended with the Battle of White Mountain in 1620.
    • The movement also gave rise to the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren and the Moravian Church.
    • In 1412, Jan Hus criticized the selling of indulgences.
    • Because he refused to recant, Hus was burned at the stake by the Church at the Council of Constance in 1415. This led to a radicalization of his followers.
    • The Bohemian Reformation lasted for more than 200 years. It produced the first national Church separate from Roman authority.
    • The Bohemian Reformation’s Hussite movement, along with the Wycliffe/Lollard movement, are considered precursors to Luther’s Protestant Reformation.
    •   Jan Hus was burned at the stake in 1415; however, his reformist ideas lived on.
    • In 1517, Martin Luther (a Catholic monk) nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Church. They listed the Church’s corruption of Jesus’ teachings.
    • JUSTIFICATION THROUGH FAITH’S TIME HAD COME.
    • THE REALITY OF HOW LIFE FORMS CAME ABOUT ON THIS REMOTE BLUE MARBLE IS THIS:  THE EVENT ORIGINATOR WROTE THE CODE, PRODUCED THE BLUEPRINT, AND USED AN EVOLVEMENT PROCESS TO OBTAIN THE REQUISITE RESULT.

    • IT’S ALL ABOUT THE CODE THAT YOU START  WITH.
    • THE DESIGNER/CREATOR’S PROCESS (RECAP)
    • 1ST: Write the code for the upcoming big bang that will create another universe. (One universe does not an infinity make.)
    • 2nd:  Write the code for the design and description for all intended results as the event unfolds. One event does not make an eternity.
    • 3rd:  Set the event in motion. All things are triune, with binary interactions.
    • 4th: Monitor, fine-tune, adjust, and select on an ongoing basis.
    • 5th: Use D’Design and Decent as the process. Write a separately coded blueprint for the consciousness of the known thought repositories.
    • 6th: It’s not the people, it’s the event.
    • 7th:  Harvesting new crops of known thought reproducers was the intended result.
    • ONE UNIVERSE DOES NOT MAKE AN INFINITY.
    • ONE EVENT DOES NOT AN ETERNITY MAKE.
    • EVOLUTION IS ONLY PART OF THE PROCESS.*
    • ALL THINGS ARE TRIUNE, WITH BINARY INTERACTIVES.
    • BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL IS ONLY GOOD.
    • IT’S NOT THE PEOPLE; it’s the EVENT.
    • GET BACK TO WHERE YOU ONCE BELONGED.
    • IN THE END, CHOICES ARE NEVER FREE.
    • WHAT TO DO IS UP TO YOU.
    • GETTING BEYOND EVIL IS A START.
        • DNA is a codebook that issues instructions. DNA is the governing force that issues instructions to specific proteins at specific times, in specific amounts.
        • The gene blueprint regulates gene activity. DNA issues instructions in groups of three at a time. DNA is an information structure. It maintains gene production and regulation to deliver the correct gene functions. Genes are networked in a complex sequenced network. The gene network self-schedules and provides the required results.
        • Information is physical, and it represents the ultimate nature of reality. These seemingly simple assertions have profound consequences. Information theory is the wellspring of our contemporary digital world. The universe is an information network. Life is an informational structure. Quantum gravity interacts with the universe’s knowledge base. This knowledge base stores the bits of human consciousness. Growing and storing the knowledge bytes from the known thought repository’s production is the reason that this current universe exists. The universe’s information structure built the universe. The information structure then operates in this universe. When the universe matures, the consciousness bytes generated by the known thought repositories are saved. They will be used again in the next universe.
      • The triune combined functions of consciousness, quantum gravity, and quantum entanglement act as one from the underside of the fabric of space-time. 
    • THE UNIVERSE GENERATES AND STORES ALL OF THE BITS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BYTES.
    • Evolution #2: “Common Descent” or “Universal Common Descent”
    • Many biologists today also commonly use the term evolution to refer to the idea that all organisms are related by common ancestry. This concept is also referred to as the theory of universal common descent. This theory affirms that all known living organisms are descended from a common ancestor.
