This essay explores the remarkable accuracy of the URANTIA Book’s description of a billion-year-old supercontinent in 1935 that was not known by science until the 1990's. Mark McMenamin, a prominent paleontologist named this "Rodinia" in 1998 in his seminal book The Garden of Ediacara. Its subsequent breakup, was only validated by scientific consensus decades later. This level of detail and accuracy, according to McMenamin, suggests extraordinary geological knowledge by the authors, further supporting the notion of the Urantia Book as a significant revelation that bridges the domains of science and religion. This essay further examines ...

This essay: Göbekli Tepe: A GPS for Understanding Rare Discoveries, explores the significant implications of the Göbekli Tepe archaeological site on human history through the lens of The URANTIA Book. I provide a detailed account of the site's discovery, describing its unique architectural features, such as massive T-shaped pillars and intricate carvings, which challenge conventional theories about the development of early civilizations. I argue that Göbekli Tepe, dating back to roughly 12,000 years ago ...

IDr. Oliva claims that her book is a biography centered on information about Dr. William S. Sadler. Although she does present such information in ways that are objective and scholarly, I believe that Sioux’s stated intellectual purpose (Cosmic Citizen 2015) departs quite substantially from the characteristics and key features that readers expect in a biography. Her book is certainly about Dr. Sadler, but it is also a book about The Urantia Book. On the other hand, ...

An essay "Space-Time Response" was developed as a response to a question JJ Johnson forwarded to me in 2009 from an individual URANTIA Book student who posed in a URANTIA reader’s group forum the following: “If that is true [light particles have weight Cf. 15:6.13 (173.11)] wouldn't the "bending of light" which "confirmed" so-called 'space-time curvature' have just as well been confirmation of Newtonian gravity? (The light from distant suns (stars) bent by the gravity pull of our Sun).”. My response delves into ...

The URANTIA revelation calls our planet a “decimal” or “life-experiment world.” By that, they tell us that every tenth to-be-inhabited planet is designated as a unique experiment for producing progressive changes to human life vehicles among other goals. In a decimal numbering system these planets would be numbered in the sequence of new planets as 10, 20, 30, … each ending in a zero. Why does Urantia, a decimal world, end on the peculiar number of 606, rather than zero which is a multiple of ten? There must be some explanation for this, and it was a minute hunch that there was an answer that led Israel Dix to be the first to explore this seemingly unimportant information. The small but nagging question kept returning to his mind on occasion, “Ought Urantia to end instead on a zero?” ...

The URANTIA fifth epochal revelation of the seven adjutant mind-spirits is an enormously important concept to reflect upon as these mind-spirit fields (circuits) are absolutely key to begin to understand not only the origin of life here on Urantia, but how God’s plans are unfolding in the universe of universes. What should be immediately apparent is that the hyphen (“-“) between mind and spirit, as found in the description of the adjutants symbolizes and implies that these two aspects of reality in this configuration are not a duality. A hyphenated term is ...

T here is pretty clear evidence of the acute secularization of Western society. Ironically this secularization includes the religious. The midwayers make this strong statement before 1942: 195:8.3 (2081.3) At the time of this revelation, the prevailing intellectual and philosophical climate of both European and American life is decidedly secular—humanistic. For three hundred years Western thinking has been progressively secularized. Religion has become more and more a nominal influence, largely a ritualistic exercise. The majority of professed Christians of Western civilization are unwittingly actual secularists. The last sentence has puzzled me for ..."

CCharles Hartshorne is considered by many philosophers to be one of the most important philosophers of religion and metaphysicians of the twentieth century. Although Hartshorne often criticized the metaphysics of substance found in medieval philosophy, he was very much like medieval thinkers in developing a philosophy that was theocentric. Throughout his career he defended the rationality of theism and for several decades was almost alone in doing so among English-language philosophers. Hartshorne was also one of the thinkers responsible for the rediscovery of St. Anselm's ontological argument. But his most influential contribution ...

While the golf swing is not a Urantia Book concern, for me, it is a topic that is near and dear to my personal growth, and believe it or not, character development. Perfecting the golf swing is a very difficult thing to master, but since one can play until one drops (literally) figuring out how a senior over 75 can mainmtain some semblance of a turn to create torque is worth considering. In fact, for those over 55 I'd say much of what I've figured out may be useful. ...
