Marx said : “Religion is the opium of the people”-and this postulate is the corner-stone of the whole philosophy of Marxism with regard to religion. The American philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre thus wrote that for much of the 20th century, Marxism was the “historical successor of Christianity,” claiming to show the faithful the one correct path to a new heaven on Earth. Even though Karl Marx, for example, condemned the illusion of religion, his followers, ironically, worshiped Marxism. Einstein’s 1915 general theory of relativity, for example, was based on theoretical mathematics developed 50 years earlier by the great German mathematician Bernhard Riemann that did not have any known practical applications at the time of its intellectual creation. But modern mathematics generally is formulated before any natural observations are made, and many mathematical laws today have no known existing physical analogues. In some cases the physicist also discovers the mathematics. Physicists then put the mathematics to use according to the rules of prediction and confirmed observation of the scientific method.

In 2004 the great British physicist Roger Penrose put forward a vision of a universe composed of three independently existing worlds – mathematics, the material world and human consciousness. The material world that we experience as part of our human existence is an imperfect reflection of these prior formal ideals. As an atheist, Nagel does not offer religious belief as an alternative, but I would argue that the supernatural character of the workings of human consciousness adds grounds for raising the probability of the existence of a supernatural god. Recognizing that he could not reconcile his own scientific materialism with the existence of a nonphysical world of human consciousness, a leading atheist, Daniel Dennett, in 1991 took the radical step of denying that consciousness even exists. Such trends have ironically been taking place even as, I would argue, the probability for the existence of a supernatural god have been rising.

” as a complete basis for understanding the world of human existence. The power of God poured out on the human heart is an amazing thing to amazing thing to watch. God’s power has often been misunderstood because we tend to think of it in those ways. Every other aspect of God’s will flows out of this great and divine purpose. If we are going to seek God’s power in our lives, we first need to understand why He has promised to give us power and for what purpose. God’s power is shown in a variety of ways. Learn to rest in His power. It requires nothing less than the resurrection power of Christ. Finally, we realize that our human resources have failed us and that nothing short of God’s intervention will sustain us. Our sin nature is powerful, and it takes nothing short of God’s power in our lives to gain the victory. We can’t order God’s power in our life like a sandwich at a café.

Yet, promises of power are woven inextricably throughout the New Testament, reminding us of the resource God has provided every Christian-the one resource necessary to live victoriously.

With help of this technique, Muslims jurists can generate new requirements for the developing circumstances which will show Islam as an organization of life for all eras. Will Shiite and Sunni Islam Ever Reconcile? I know that Islam is a complete religion. People that practice Islam are known as Muslims. His power to protect and enable His people to do the impossible. God’s power is centered on His will and His glory. And when you begin to see and experience it-give Him the glory. Everything that was made was made for the glory of God. Remember those things for which God promises His power; ask Him to demonstrate His power in your weakness, and then wait for God to show His power. His power was obviously at work. Robert H.
