Chapter 1. "Intelligent Design" Evidence of Creator, God's Creative Family Plan

There is a large growing body of evidence from numerous science disciplines including physics and mathematics that can only be rationally interpreted by what has come to be called "intelligent design" for the origin of life as opposed to the theory of chance evolution.

If the weight of evidence testifies to "intelligent design" then it is but a small step to assume there is an intelligent designer. This work starts at this point, examining what the purpose of such an intelligent designer set out to accomplish.

Travelling back billions of years, way before our solar system by which we calculate time came into existence, before the synthesis of the first atoms in Edwin Hubble's Big Bang theory calculated as fifteen billion years ago (4.6 x 10^17 seconds) when at a central point in the universe, pure dynamic energy instantly created matter and anti matter.

Going back even more billions of years before this "Big Bang" when no matter existed, to an era predating the existence of everything, this "intelligent designer" existed, having more dynamic energy than we can imagine, an entity existing outside of our known dimensions, an omnipotent force.

At a distant point in time, this lone intelligent designer commenced a massive omnific design project, an "intelligent design project" or a Great Creative Plan. This project started billions of years ago was designed in stages to be developed over millions of our years and to this day has not yet been completed.

The "intelligent designer" started this massive creative project with the sole purpose of generating a family of His own. The Great Creation Plan was designed to bring into existence a two part family of billions, part of this family as "spirit beings" the other part as "human beings". The family plan was to be constructed through many stages. Generating the birth and development of the "spirit being" part of the family inhabiting the same realm as the life providing Father of this family, then further stages, expanding it with a "human being" section of the family living in a physical realm.

After many years of independent searching for information about this "intelligent designer" under the assumption that such an "intelligent designer" would have made some record about his design project and having studied all major and many of the minor religious books available in the world, it has been found that only the bible stands up to objective examination yet at the same time condemns the so called Christian religions by their misrepresentation of this information. See foot note at end of chapter.

The starting point for the first stage of the Creative Family Plan was the creation of another living being. The "intelligent designer" formed his first creature "Son" with his own figurative hands inheriting his "image" and spirit nature. This unique, first created being was fashioned with the potential for developing and reflecting his creating father's personal characteristics including wisdom, justice, love, and power. In order to develop these qualities, the element of "free will" had to be built into this first created son together with a potential for perpetual life.

The Bible book of Colossians identifies this first created spirit member of the family for us. Colossians 1:15 says "He is the likeness of the invisible God the one born first of all creation". This first created individual held a very unique position, the first and only one to be formed directly by the family Father. Verse 16 tells us "by means of him everything else was created, the invisible things in the heavens and the visible things on the earth".

Many billions of years later this "first-born" Son acquired a new title with which we have become more familiar, "Jesus". Until then he went under a different title, 'The Word' or spokesman (in Greek = Logos). Confirmation of this is found in the bible book of John 1:1-3, where it states "In the beginning (of creation) the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was divine. This one was in the beginning with God. All created things came into existence through him, not one thing came into existence without his involvement". If we consider the omnipotent Father as the generator and architect of the family creation project, then the Word was his master construction manager, or director (Proverbs 8:22-30).

The second phase of the great architect's plan involved this first created son in the role of director of operations. His Father handed over to him his design 'words' of instructions for extending the family by increasing its population in their fourth dimensional realm. The family Father also determined that the spirit family members would all carry the same potential image characteristics of himself, "free will" and a potential for perpetual life. This Father was not interested in a family of robots or cybernetic machines or animals, no matter how sophisticated. He could derive no pleasure from that, any more than a genuine father today would wish for cybernetic children or animal pets as his family. So 'free will', the ability to choose, became a characteristic of the family's Sons.

Before the family was increased an immense fourth dimensional heavenly ecology needed to be designed and constructed in order to support this planned vast family expansion of spirit Sons; a living functional environment catering for all their needs and recreations; a perfect habitat on the spirit plain meticulously designed for habitation and population, a balanced ecology for the enjoyment of perpetual life, incorporating ongoing wonders and endless stimulation, a truly awesome, heavenly environment.

The "intelligent designer" of this family project gave himself an identifying name "Yahweh" sometimes translated Jehovah. Yahweh recruited his first directly created son handing over to him his plans and instructions along with the dynamic power needed to develop and expand the spirit family. These blueprints contained the instructions for preparing a spiritual paradise environment ready for population by the spirit being family members (angels). By using his only directly begotten Son, God engineered into existence a theocracy of millions, possibly billions of other spirit family sons. Each was individually created with the potential for perpetual life, along with rational free will with which, if they so chose, they could develop the characteristics of their Father, reflecting his image in themselves. They were also recruited into developing this expanding family plan. As Spirit beings do not procreate in the same way we do they do not have male or female gender but are created individually. There appears to be various theocratic ranks within the spirit family, Archangels, Seraphs, Cherubs and other angels are referred to. It may have been that positions were rotated so that all were involved and responsibilities shared. Or it may be that these positions are earned dependent on the extent to which they reflect their father's image. ( refs Isa 6:2,6. Eze 10, Rev 12:7, Job 38:7 ).

So as each member of the spirit family was brought into existence they in turn became personally involved, assisting in developing the Creative family plan further under the supervision of God's chief director of operations directing all stages. The scriptures do not inform us to what extent the population of this spirit realm increased during this phase, or how long it lasted, but it must have all been completed at least fifteen billion years ago before the Big Bang occurred. However, scriptural investigation does reveal that there exists at least a population in excess of one hundred million in this heavenly realm (10,000 x 10,000 = 100,000,000 Dan 7:10) all more than 15 billion years old ( Job 38:4-7 ).

The 'Logos' completed to the letter the 'words' and instructions of these phases in God's plan for populating the spirit realm. Once created, this spirit kind population was organised into an operational theocratic administration, incorporating all its inhabitants.

The highest ranking was the director of operations the Fathers first only begotten son, His spokesman the Word, who carries another name and title, that of "Arch or Chief Angel Michael (Michael = who is like God)". This same one later on an assignment from God went under the title Jesus Christ ( 1 Thessalonians 4:16 with Jude 9 and Revelation 12:7-9 with Daniel 12:1 linking The Word, Michael and Jesus).

Once the spirit being part of the family had been completed the next stage takes the family project into an entirely new dimension, the physical material dimension. Yahweh designed the enlargement of His spirit family by creating a further population of physical or 'human sons', this time within a material environment. These ones, although created in a physical form, also received free will providing the potential as sons to mirror image the qualities of their father and the potential for perpetual life (Genesis 1:26). Plans and instructions for this phase were again handed to the director of operations. This time the whole family in the spirit realm were involved in a combined creative construction operation, co-ordinated through the "Word", the master director of God.

As the family grew all its members became involved in working at developing the project. The first part of the material project is briefly stated "In the beginning (of material creation) God created the (material) heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1,). Again before physical sons of God could be created, a supporting material environment needed to be constructed, an ecology designed to support this family extension of human being sons, catering for all their needs and recreations. This time a perfect habitat on the material plain designed for inhabiting and populating, once again incorporating a balancing ecology for maximising the enjoyment of perpetual life with its own ongoing wonders for endless stimulation, a second truly awesome ecology.

First, matter, protons and atoms needed to be generated into existence. The energy and power required to generate anti matter and matter was provided by God (big bang). Part of this matter eventually fashioned into a counterbalancing universe with a solar system containing a planet capable of being developed further into an ecology that would support the life of physical sons of God.

This material preparation work of the Universe took billions of years. The next phase of the material creative plan to develop and refine the planet earth had a fixed time schedule, divided into seven equal time divisions of 7,000 years, 7 x 7,000 years, a total period of 49,000 years (evidence on these time periods is provided further on). The first four time divisions covering 28,000 years were used in refining the planet earth into a more sophisticated environment needed to support life. Step by step all the necessary support fuels for life were introduced, an atmosphere containing oxygen and food by way of vegetation, (Genesis 1:2-19). The fifth and sixth periods covering the next 14,000 years were used to establish a complex living animal ecology. Then, toward the end of the sixth time division after nearly 42,000 years, everything had been prepared for the first human sons of God's family to be created in this new pristine environment on planet earth (Genesis 1:20-31).

The creation of the first son of God's physical family involved bringing into existence an entirely new design concept, a composite two part, pro-creating male/female unit near the end of the sixth 7,000 year time division, after nearly 42,000 years of preparation work on the planet earth. A small section of this planet was selected for cultivation up to a much higher standard than the rest. A perfect earthly paradise environment, an area of sophisticated physical wonders and diversities. Everything was ready for the first human couple to be created in this awesome pristine garden environment on the prepared planet earth.

The term “Man” was used to describe the complete male/female married unit (Gen 5:2), comprising all the male and female complementing attributes, together providing the potential for reflecting Gods image, his qualities. By developing these qualities within a balanced married couple unit they could reflect in themselves the image of their father. The qualities were divided between the male and female gender halves of the composite “Man” when amalgamated, had the potential of developing within couples the balanced "image of God". The male/female unit possessed all the potential character ingredients needed to reflect the image of their Father.

They were designed as a “Man” pair unit, or as "one flesh" (Gen 2:24). Each of the first human couple carried the same perfect DNA (Gen 2:21-23). From the first male a rib was removed and used to create a kind of "clone" with the same DNA but genetically engineered to create a female, a Man with a womb, or woman. United they became an harmoniously complimenting male and female unit. Together their characteristics and physical formation could be described as a complimenting 'one' flesh with the ability to reproduce. As such this composite "Man" contained all the potential for becoming a perfect “Son” of God within His Great Family with the ability to cultivate and develop the image of their family Father something only possible through the exercise of free will.

They too as members of God's family were granted the potential of perpetual life. This perpetual life force would not suffer any of the effects of ageing, it could maintain full health and dynamic energy indefinitly in perfect physical bodies. Human beings were designed to live under perfect material and climatic conditions, created with minds capable of appreciating higher spiritual concepts. Enjoying the wonders of nature and the endless pleasures and variations of the ever changing animal ecology provided for them. Created in Gods image, with free will they had the potential rational of developing the family father's high characteristics and standards.

The last, or seventh 7,000 year time division, between 42,000 to 49,000 years into the physical refining and construction plan of the planet earth for the human part of the family, became a pause or rest period for God and the spirit side of the family from their family creative activities. The remaining family expansion assignments were to be completed by the earth's inhabitants within this next 7,000 year period. Just as spirit being family members had been involved in the family expansion project, so now it was the turn of human being members of the family to be actively involved in developing and expanding this great family project.

The assignment given was for the expansion of the human family through procreation in order to "fill" the earth. Populating the planet with further sons of the human family with free will, inheriting the potential personality or 'image' of Yahweh. To fill the earth with these potential Sons of God would require developing and cultivating the earth bit by bit as the earthly family grew, bringing it all up to the high standard set by God in his prepared sample, the model Garden of Eden, (Genesis 1:28).

To accomplish this, a period of 7.000 years (the seventh "day" period) was set aside to complete the assignment of developing the earth and populating it with the earthly side of the family of God. The on going creation plan required bringing into existence a large physical population of earthly Sons of God's great family.

In the beginning the two parts of the Family, Spiritual and Physical Sons, interrelated with each other, communicated and associated together. They were after all, 'Brothers' in the same great family. When the second human part of the family is finally completed, the combined parts will constitute the Great family of God, all related Sons of God. When the family is full of proved and tested sons, the family project will have been completed.

Six creative time periods had been used to form and forge the rough earth up to the point where it was perfect for human sons of God to inhabit. These six periods of time each 7,000 years long totalled 42,000 years. The final 7,000 year period for completion of the family project was handed over to Man to complete. So after 49,000 years the human part of the family human project was to have been completed. God would come out of his rest period and take control again. We are informed in the Revelation that for a period of 1,000 years God would administer and settle all outstanding matters, offering rewards to those who had faithfully carried out His prescribed requirements. Offering them ever lasting life from the symbolic tree of life (Gen 3:22-24, Rev 22:1-2). The whole thing would take a total of 50,000 years, or a great Jubilee cycle ( Lev 25:1-17 ).

Although we are now living some 6,000 years into this 7,000 year time allocation for accomplishing this earthly assignment we do not see any thing like these things taking place. The cultivating of the entire earth up to Gods standards of perfection or Paradise with humans enjoying everlasting life in perfect conditions is very far from reality today!

Up to the end of the sixth day period everything was proclaimed 'OK', and going just as God had planned it. The spirit kind sons of God had done a great job of work, and were only too pleased to be associated with their humankind brothers, (Job 38:7). Yahweh added his seal of approval, declaring it "very good" up to that point, the end of the sixth day period (Genesis 1:31).

But it was not to remain that way! Once the seventh day period started some 6,000 years ago, family rebellion broke out almost immediately causing the plans for the seventh day period to be derailed, and diverted off course. Without missing a beat, Yahweh brought into effect a contingency plan he had on hand. This plan prepared for just such an eventuality, always a strong possibility with the factor of free will granted to all His Spirit and Human sons and so for some, always a possibility.

With the in built factors of intelligence and the potential of wisdom, one of the qualities of the family father, they had the required rationale tools to weigh matters and make free will choices. The opportunity was theirs to 'choose'; to develop and reflect in themselves the 'image' of their family father or their own independent self 'image'. Inevitably some family members, spirit and human would choose badly through self-centred motivations; but on the other hand without free will, the positive image development could not take place. This free will element brought the greatest of rewards but also the greatest risk factor, which is why a recovery plan was prepared and ready ahead of time.

If events required it, a contingency plan could swing into operation. It would incorporate all rectifying mechanisms required in order to complete the family creation plan. Any diversionary corrections would need to be made within the same allocated seventh day time period so that the 50,000 year great Jubilee would be completed.

In order to set our clock for measuring time prophecies relating to this family plan and its developments now still in operation, it is essential that we examine the evidence on the length of this 'seventh day' division in which the plan operates.

After God created the first human couple he came to a pause in his material and physical creative works. He then went into a measured period of non creative activity, referred to as his creative Sabbath day of rest. Genesis 2:2-3 says "God rested on the seventh day from creating and set aside the seventh period". Set aside for the earths inhabitants to complete their assignments under the oversight of God's director of works; it was their turn to do some work while He paused for this set period of time in order for the assignments to be completed.

Speaking about the disbelieving, rebellious Israelites whom Moses led out of Egypt, God said, "They shall not enter my rest" (Psalm 95:9-11). Apparently by the time of this generation, almost 2,500 years after the rest period started, it was still continuing. Even later, some 4,000 years after the rest period started, around the year AD 60, the apostle Paul confirmed that this 'rest period' was still continuing in his day. In Hebrews 4:1-11 Paul said "Therefore while the promise of entering into God's rest is still open,..let us .. make every effort to enter that rest". So the "rest" was still continuing after 4,000 years. Further Bible evidence presented later establishes that it continues for a total of 7,000 years; (this evidence can be found in Chapter 4).

Each creative day period was likewise 7,000 years long, 7 periods would be 49,000 years plus a one thousand year Jubilee completing a 50,000 year Great Jubilee cycle

So what caused the derailing of this family plan to bring about such a massive shift from the original plan? This is addressed in the next chapter.
