Why I believe in GOD

Study of manifestations of the spiritual world

From the publisher

This book was conceived by my father a long time ago, back in 1990, but due to various circumstances, it is only now being published. I tried to keep the author's version as much as possible. All or almost all of the materials presented here were published earlier, but it should be noted that the author's versions are much more complete, my father worked on the book literally before last days.

The Appendix includes some materials not included by the father in the original version of the book, but showing the gradual development of his views from a simple study of anomalous phenomena to an exhaustive assessment of the spiritual essence of this phenomenon.

introduction

There are people endowed with an ear for music and memory, while others have the gift of a special artistic perception of visible reality and displaying it in their paintings. Viktor Iozefovich Veinik is a man with a heightened sense of spiritual reality.

From the materialistic worldview, Professor V.I. Through the study of “paranormal phenomena” (UFO, poltergeist, extrasensory perception and other kaleidoscope of bright and noisy “miracles”) Veinik comes to the Christian faith, to a deep understanding and acceptance of the Orthodox dogma. Of course, it was not immediately easy to understand and reject those pseudo-spiritual and pseudo-religious statements that Professor V.I. Veinik examined and studied with kind inquisitiveness, with scientific objectivity and responsibility. A sincere and selfless naturalist, he tried to act according to the instructions of St. app. Paul: “Test all things; hold fast to good things” (1 Thess. 5:21). He resolutely subjected to research everything, all aspects of earthly and afterlife. It is known that there are phenomena that are hidden from man, that are beyond the limits of empirical experience. Much is inaccessible to consciousness, which is darkened by the current sinful state. Inappropriate and sinful here is the curiosity of a spiritual and bodily person. But the spiritual can judge everything and understand everything (cf. 1 Cor 2:14-15).

Scientific research and theological understanding of phenomena that are on the border of the material and the spiritual is possible only under the condition of deep humility, reverence for the Creator and Provider, constant prayer and repentance. It was these virtues that were characteristic of the late Viktor Iozefovich. AT scientific papers, in many journalistic articles he presented interesting and extraordinary judgments, and possibly discoveries. There are topics that need further study, judgments on which the Church has not been definitively and authoritatively declared. Here is the area of free theology and the point of view of the respected professor V.I. Veinik has the authority of private opinion.

The ever-memorable professor V.I. Veinik and, I think, the words of Bl. Augustine: “Lord, You have created us for Yourself, and our soul is restless until it rests in You” - fully refer to his life and work.

“Russia will be saved by creativity – a renewed religious faith (within Orthodox Christianity), a new understanding of man, new political construction, new social ideas...” These words belong to the outstanding Russian thinker, philosopher, statesman, historian of religion and culture Ivan Aleksandrovich Ilyin (1883 -1954).

He rejects the rational science of the West. Western science, in his words, knowing “nothing but sensory observation, experiment and analysis, is a spiritually blind science: it does not see the object, but observes only its shells; its touch kills the living content of the object; it gets stuck in parts and pieces and is powerless to rise to the contemplation of the whole.”

“Russian science is not called upon to imitate Western scholarship, either in the field of research or in the field of worldview. It is called upon to develop its own worldview, its own research. Every real, creative researcher always develops his own, new, method... The Russian scientist is called upon to be not a craftsman and not an accountant of a phenomenon, but an artist in research; a responsible improviser, a free pioneer of cognition... His science must become the science of creative contemplation - not to abolish logic, but to fill it with living objectivity; not in violation of fact and law, but in the vision of an integral object hidden behind them.

“Russia can only be revived new idea: only renewed souls can recreate it...” “The Russian idea is the idea of the heart. The idea of a contemplative heart. A heart that contemplates freely and objectively and transmits its vision to the will for action and thought. She claims that the main thing in life is love, and that it is love that builds a common life on earth, because faith and the whole culture of the spirit are born from love. The Russian-Slavic soul, since ancient times and organically predisposed to feeling, sympathy and kindness, historically accepted this idea from Christianity, it responded with its heart to the gospel of God, to the main commandment of God, and believed that "God is love." “Love is the main spiritually creative force of the Russian soul” / I.A. Ilyin. Our tasks. Volgograd: Tsaritsyn Society for the Revival and Strengthening of Orthodoxy, 1994. Vol. 1. Selected articles /.

Beginning with Ivan the Terrible, and especially with Peter the Great, the widespread penetration of Western culture and science, guided by insensitive reason, changed the relationship between heart and mind, feeling and knowledge in Holy Russia in favor of the latter, and a great apostasy from faith took place, culminating in the catastrophe that is now observed. It is unthinkable to return to the former spirituality of the heart, that is, to renew the soul, if one does not overcome those heaps of deceit and lies that Western materialism and atheism have brought with them. And they can be overcome only if one turns to the main source of God's gospel - to the Holy Scriptures, for it is addressed precisely to a person's heart, to his feeling, which gives birth to love and faith. The Scripture also provides for a limited minimum of natural scientific information, which is necessary and sufficient to cope with the task.

Of decisive importance in this matter is the greatest discovery of our time, created by the brilliant Russian scientist Ivan Panin (1855-1942), who strictly mathematically proved that the canonical Bible, to its last line, was literally “embedded in the brains” of the people who wrote it by the Lord Himself. Therefore, she, like God, is absolutely true, and she must be believed unquestioningly. Therefore, in order to understand the structure of the world and man in a new and correct way, we must take natural science texts as a basis. Holy Scripture. The new understanding of the world and man must inevitably be followed by new ideas of political and social construction.

The most important should be recognized as texts that invest completely new meaning into the known physical concepts of time and space. On this foundation a new science is built - general theory(From nature. It contains a number of previously unknown laws that explain the fact of the existence of an invisible spiritual world parallel to ours and allow us to give a simple and clear theoretical and experimental interpretation of many other biblical texts that previously seemed incomprehensible or even doubtful. For example, it became clear how “Philip was caught up by the angel of the Lord, and the eunuch did not see him... But Philip was in Ashdod” (Acts 8:39-40); how, during the flood, in the relatively small ark of the righteous Noah, such a multitude of “pairs of clean and unclean” could fit together with the food they needed; how a whale with its narrow neck could swallow the prophet Jonah; how during the battle of Gibeon “the sun stood in the midst of the sky and did not hasten to the west for almost a whole day” (Josh 10:13), etc.

Against this background, the noted I.A. Ilyin, the artificiality, formality and one-sidedness of Western scientific constructions, in particular, the meaninglessness and fallacy of the theory of relativity, the emptiness of quantum mechanics, which starts not from contemplated nature, but from guessed mathematical equations, to which they then tried to give some kind of physical meaning, etc.

This book contains some articles that present in a popular form, from the standpoint of the new theory, the most important physical aspects of the spiritual problem associated with an invisible parallel world. Over the past four years, these articles have been published by the author in various magazines and newspapers, mainly in Pravoslavnoye Slovo, the magazine Light (Nature and Man), the almanac Impossible and others. They briefly touch upon the history of the issue and experimental confirmation of OT (Chapter I and XIV), then speak in sufficient detail about the discovery of Ivan Panin and the subordinate role of science in relation to religion (Chapter II), about the science of reason and heart (Chapter III ) etc.

With the help of OT, a new understanding of human nature is given (chap. IV) and amazing automatically triggered mechanisms are described ...

7 Reasons Why I Believe in God (A.C. Morrison)

The famous American scientist, former chairman of the New York Academy of Sciences, A. Kressm Morrison, proves the existence of God in his brilliant article: "Seven reasons why I believe in God."

“We are still only at the dawn of scientific knowledge,” says K. Morrison. “The closer to dawn, the brighter our morning, the clearer the creation of an intelligent Creator becomes clear before us. Now, in the spirit of scientific humility, in the spirit of faith based on knowledge, we are even closer to the unshakable certainty of the existence of God.

Personally, I count seven circumstances that determine my faith in God. Here they are:

1. A perfectly clear mathematical law proves that the universe was created by the Greatest Mind.

Imagine that you are throwing ten coins into a bag. Coins, in order of their value, from one cent to ten. Then shake the bag. Now try to pull out the coins one by one in order of their value, putting each coin back and shaking the bag again. Mathematics says that we have a one in ten chance of pulling out a one cent coin the first time. To pull out a one-cent coin, and immediately after it a two-cent coin, our chances are one in a hundred. To pull out three coins in a row in this way - we have one chance in a thousand, etc. For the fact that we pull out all ten coins in a given order, we have one chance in ten billion.

The same mathematical reasoning says that for the emergence and development of life on earth, such an incredible number of relationships and interconnections are needed that without a reasonable direction, simply by chance, they could not have arisen in any way. The speed of rotation over the surface of the earth is measured in a thousand miles per hour. If the earth were spinning at a hundred miles an hour, our days and nights would be ten times longer. During a long day, the sun would burn out all living things; during a long night, all living things would freeze to death.

Then - the temperature of the sun is 12,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The earth is as far away from the sun as is necessary for this "eternal fire" to properly heat us, no more, no less! If the sun would give half as much heat, then we would freeze. If it gave twice as much, we would die from the heat.

The slope of the earth is 23°. This is where the seasons come from. If the slope of the earth were different, the evaporation from the ocean would move back and forth, south and north, piling up entire continents of ice. If the moon, instead of its current distance, were 50,000 miles away from us, our ebb and flow would take on such a grandiose scale that all the continents would be under water twice a day. As a result, the mountains themselves would soon be washed away. If the earth's crust were relatively thicker than it is now, there would not be enough oxygen on the surface, and all living things would be doomed to death. If the ocean were comparatively deeper, carbon dioxide would absorb all the oxygen, and all living things, again, would die. If the atmosphere enveloping the globe were a little thinner, then the meteors, millions of which burn up in it every day, falling to the earth, would fall on it as a whole and cause innumerable fires everywhere.

These and countless other examples show that there is not even one chance in many millions for the accidental emergence of life on earth.

2. The richness of the sources from which life draws its strength to carry out its task is in itself proof of the presence of a self-sufficing and omnipotent Mind.

Not a single person has been able to comprehend what life is until now. It has neither weight nor dimensions, but it truly has power. The sprouting root can destroy the rock. Life conquered water, land and air, took possession of their elements, forcing them to dissolve and transform their combinations.

Life is a sculptor who gives form to all living things, an artist who carves the shape of each leaf on a tree, determines the color of each flower. Life is a musician who taught birds to sing love songs, taught insects to make an innumerable number of sounds and call each other with them. Life is the finest chemist that gives taste to fruits, smells to flowers, a chemist that changes water and carbon dioxide into sugar and wood, and at the same time receives oxygen, which is necessary for all living things.

Here we have a drop of protoplasm, an almost invisible drop, transparent, like jelly, capable of moving and extracting energy from the sun. This cell, this transparent fraction of a speck of dust, is the germ of life and has the power to communicate life to the big and the small. The power of this drop, this speck of dust is greater than the power of our existence, stronger than animals and people, because it is the basis of all living things. Nature did not create life. Rocks split by fire and freshwater seas would not be able to meet the requirements that life makes for its occurrence.

Who put life into this speck of protoplasm?

3. The mind of animals undeniably testifies to the wise Creator, who inspired instinct in creatures that would be without him
completely helpless creatures.

A young salmon spends its young age in the sea, then returns to its native river and goes along it exactly along the very side along which the caviar was flowing, from which it hatched. What drives him with such precision? If placed in a different environment, he will immediately feel that he has lost his course, he will fight his way to the main stream, then go against the current and fulfill his destiny with due precision.

You hide an even greater secret in yourself the behavior of an eel. These amazing creatures adulthood travel from all ponds, rivers and lakes, even if they are in Europe, travel thousands of miles across the ocean and go to the depths of the sea near Bermuda. Here they perform the act of their reproduction and die. Little eels, who, it would seem, have no idea about anything that could get lost in the depths of the ocean, follow the path of their fathers, to the very rivers, ponds and lakes from which they began their journey to Bermuda. In Europe, not a single eel that belongs to American waters has ever been caught; the same thing, not a single European eel has ever been caught in America. The European eel reaches maturity a year later, allowing it to make its journey. Where is this guiding impulse born?

The wasp, taking the grasshopper, strikes it in a precisely defined place. From this blow the grasshopper "dies". He loses consciousness and continues to live, representing a kind of canned meat. After that, the wasp lays its larvae in such a way that the hatched little ones can suck the grasshopper without killing it. Dead meat would be deadly food for them. Having done this work, the mother wasp flies away and dies. She never sees her cubs. There is not the slightest doubt that every wasp does this work for the first time in its life, without any training, and does it exactly as it should, otherwise where would the wasps be? This mystical technique cannot be explained by the fact that the wasps learn from each other. It is embedded in their flesh and blood.

4. Man has more than animal instinct. He has reason.

There was not and is not such an animal that would be able to count to ten. Nor can it understand the essence of the number ten. If instinct can be compared to a single note of a flute, with a beautiful but limited sound, then it must be accepted that the human mind is capable of perceiving all the notes, not only of one flute, but of all the instruments of an orchestra. Needless to say about one more point: thanks to our mind, we are able to reason about what we are, and this ability is determined only by the fact that we have a spark of the Mind of the Universe in us.

5. The miracle of genes - a phenomenon that we know, but which was not known to Darwin, indicates that all living things were taken care of.

The size of the genes is so incredibly small that if all of them, i.e. the genes that keep all the people of the world alive would be bundled together, they could fit in a thimble. And the thimble wouldn't be full! Nevertheless, these ultramicroscopic genes and their accompanying chromosomes are present in all cells of all living things and are the absolute key to explaining all the features of man, animal and plant. Thimble! It can fit all the individual characteristics of all two billion human beings. And there can be no doubt about this. If this is so, then how is it that the gene even contains the key to the psychology of each individual being, accommodating all this in such a small volume?

This is where evolution begins! It begins in the unit, which is the custodian and bearer of the genes. And the fact that several million atoms included in an ultramicroscopic gene can turn out to be the absolute key that guides life on earth is evidence that all living things are taken care of, that someone foresaw them in advance, and that the provision comes from from the Creative Mind. No other hypothesis here can help to unravel this riddle of being.

6. Observing the economy of nature, we are forced to admit that only an extremely perfect Reason can foresee all the relationships that arise in such a complex economy.

Many years ago, some species of cactus brought here were planted as hedges in Australia. In the absence of hostile insects here, the cactus multiplied in such incredible numbers that people began to look for means to combat it. And the cactus continued to spread. It got to the point that the area he occupied turned out to be larger than the area of England. He began to oust people from cities and villages, he began to destroy farms. Entomologists have scoured the world in search of measures to combat the cactus. Finally, they managed to find an insect that fed exclusively on a cactus. It reproduced easily and had no enemies in Australia. Soon this insect defeated the cactus. The cactus retreated. The number of this plant has decreased. The number of insects has also decreased. There are only enough of them left to keep the cactus under constant control.

And these kinds of controlling relationships are everywhere. Why, indeed, did the insects, which reproduce so incredibly rapidly, not suppress all living things? Because they breathe not with lungs, but with tracheae. If an insect grows, its windpipes do not grow in proportion. That is why there have never been and cannot be too large insects. This discrepancy holds back their growth. Without this physical control, man could not exist on earth. Imagine a bumblebee the size of a lion.

7. The fact that man is able to grasp the idea of the existence of God is in itself sufficient evidence.

The concept of God arises from that mysterious faculty of man which we call imagination. Only with the help of this force, and only with its help, a person (and no other living creature on earth) is able to find confirmation of abstract things. The breadth that this ability opens up is absolutely immense. Indeed, thanks to the perfect imagination of man, the possibility of spiritual reality arises, and man can, with all the evidence of purpose and task, determine the great truth that Heaven is everywhere and in everything, the truth that God lives everywhere and in everything, that He lives in our hearts.

And so, both from the side of science and from the side of imagination, we find confirmation of the words of the psalmist:“The heavens will declare the glory of God, but the firmament proclaims the work of His hand” (Ps. 18:2).

The famous surgeon, former prof. Cologne, Bonn and Berlin Universities, Augustin Beer says: "Even if science and religion happened to fall into conflict, harmony in their relationship would soon be restored through interpenetration on the basis of more accurate data."

Let us end our discourse again with the words of the scholar A. K. Morrison: “Man recognizes the necessity of moral principles; where does the sense of duty live; from this stems his faith in God.

The flourishing of religious feeling enriches human soul and elevates her so that she can perceive the Divine presence. The instinctive exclamation of man: "My God!" quite natural, and even simplest form prayer brings a person closer to the Creator.

Respect, sacrifice, strength of character, moral foundations, imagination - are not born from denial and atheism, this amazing self-deception that replaces God with a man. Without faith, culture disappears, order collapses and evil prevails. Let us unswervingly believe in the Spirit-Creator, in Divine love and in human brotherhood. Let us lift up our souls to God, doing His will as it is revealed to us; let us keep, the confidence inherent in faith that we are worthy of the cares with which the Lord surrounds the creatures He created. To these words of A. Morrison, we add the words of a psychiatrist and theologian prof. I. M. Andreeva: “True knowledge is incompatible with pride. Humility is an indispensable condition for the possibility of knowing the Truth. Only a humble scientist, as well as a humble religious thinker, who always remembers the words of the Savior - Without Me you cannot do anything and I am the way and the truth and the life - are able to follow the right path (method) to the knowledge of the Truth. For God opposes the proud, but gives Grace to the humble.”

Two books by Viktor Veinik, Science and Orthodoxy

“After decades of dominance of militant atheism and lack of spirituality, the soul of every believer is pleased and inspired by any event in the field of religious life: a pastoral sermon open to an external listener, and an article of religious content in the secular press, and a newly published book of spiritual content.” With these words, the publishers of Viktor Veinik's book Why I Believe in God greet the reader [Viktor Veinik. Why do I believe in God. Publishing House of the Belarusian Exarchate, Minsk, 2000. Further in the text, references to this book follow under the number "I"]. To such a greeting, I would like to resolutely object: it is not "any event in the field of religious life" that "pleases and inspires" the soul of "every believer."

Many Orthodox Christians are not "pleased" or "inspired" by religious articles in the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper and are saddened by the fact that 30,000 copies of Why I Believe in God were reprinted. Last event and led to the publication of this article.

We did not set ourselves the "Napoleonic" goal to confirm or refute the scientific truth of all the long-term works of V.I. Veinik, we simply do not have enough knowledge of physics and mathematics for this. But in the field of scientific and apologetic activity of Professor Veinik, which intersects the boundaries of Orthodox theology, we are quite competent. And it is precisely the boundaries of this area that outlined our analysis of two works by Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the Byelorussian SSR, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Viktor Iozefovich Veinik “Thermodynamics of Real Processes” [Viktor Veinik. Thermodynamics of real processes. Publishing House Science and Technology, Minsk, 1991. Quoted from: www.crimea.com/~enio/index300.htm. Further in the text, references to this book follow under the number "II"] and "Why I believe in God."

Scientific and apologetic activity of Viktor Veinik: its correlation with the Biblical texts and the Sacred Tradition of the Orthodox Church

Let us pay attention to the peculiarities of quoting the Holy Scriptures in the book Why I Believe in God. For example, when discussing the structure of a person, Viktor Iozefovich cites links from Old Testament, which speaks of the soul ... of animals: “The location of the soul is most easily determined, for Scripture speaks of this in plain text: “The soul of the body is in the blood. Whoever eats it will be cut off” (); “Blood is the soul: do not eat it, pour it on the ground like water. Do not eat it, so that it would be good for you and your children after you forever ”() (I, p. 110). Such a strange application of texts relating to animals to humans leads to false reasoning, which, however, members of the Jehovah's Witnesses sect would take quite seriously: blood transfusions, heart and other organ transplants, etc. The same applies to bone marrow transplantation, for it is said: “His bones are filled with sins” (), that is, harmful information. There are many such texts in the Bible. Physicians have something to think about, bearing in mind that Scripture is absolutely true” (I, p. 111).

Scripture is true, only Viktor Iozefovich's incorrect interpretation has nothing to do with the truth of Scripture. The citation of verse 11 of the 20th chapter of the Book of Job in this case is generally absurd. If we take this passage as an anatomical revelation, then what is worse than verse 15 of the same chapter: “The property that he swallowed will vomit: God will rip him out of his womb”?

Very fantastic physico-mathematical constructions follow the willfully interpreted verse 5 of Psalm 89 of David: "with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day." Here is what Viktor Veinik heard in the words of the Psalmist: “This combination of ideas, of course, cannot be accidental and contains all the quantitative information we need. Let us take a day as a unit of duration, and a chronal corresponding to this day as a unit of chronal. As a result, the initial - at the creation of the world - chronal turned out to be equal to 365,250 chronal units, which corresponds to a thousand years according to the Julian calendar” (I, p. 131). I wonder why these fundamentally erroneous calculations had to be made using the Julian calendar? Is this calendar, which appeared only in 46 BC. used by the prophet David, who lived thousands of years earlier? In addition, from the context of the verse, it is obvious that David's psalm refers to the divine greatness and incommensurability of God and man: “Before the mountains were born, You formed the earth and the universe, and from age to age You are God. For before your eyes a thousand years are like yesterday.”

Another example of Viktor Veinik's incompetence in working with the texts of Holy Scripture is his teaching about the creation of angels by God on the sixth day of creation: “It is generally accepted that the specified army (serving spirits, or angels) was created on the first day. But the Bible doesn't say that anywhere. All spirits were created on the sixth day” (I, p. 140). And what follows is a reasoning based on an initially wrong foundation. The fact is that literally nowhere in the Bible does it say about the creation of the world of angels on the first day. But the Bible says that angels were present at the very beginning of the creation of the visible world: “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? On what are its foundations established, or who laid its cornerstone when all the sons of God (that is, the angels - St. Andrew) exclaimed for joy? (). This biblical text is fully consistent with the Holy Tradition of the Church: Sts. Gregory the Theologian, Basil the Great, Simeon the New Theologian, Irenaeus of Lyons, Dionysius the Areopagite, Athanasius the Great, Epiphanius of Cyprus, John Chrysostom, Ambrose of Milan, Gregory the Great, John of Damascus and Anastasius of Sinai clearly say that angels were created by God long before the sun, stars, earth and everything else.

With such an incorrect handling of the texts of the Holy Scriptures and ignoring the Holy Tradition of the Church, the active attitude of Viktor Iozefovich is very alarming: “Obviously, most of us will have to radically reconsider our attitude to the Bible and the Creator, and look at our lives with new eyes. Holy Scripture was dictated to a very low level of knowledge of that time. This is where science should help by appropriately interpreting, deciphering, decoding these texts” (I, p. 36).

Viktor Veinik's reasoning about the creation of angels contains another incongruity, or rather, blasphemy: accusing God of creating evil on earth, of the fall of Adam and Eve. “The serpent was more cunning than all the animals of the field that the Lord God created” (). In these words, the main spirit of evil, the devil, is identified with the serpent, the reptile, and the reptiles were created precisely on the sixth day” (I, p. 141). However, as early as the 4th century, St. John Chrysostom wrote about the inadmissibility of seeing in this biblical passage the identity of the serpent and the devil: Genesis, XVI, 127). According to St. John, the devil is not at all identified with the serpent, but entered into it in order to tempt a person. Viktor Iozefovich, identifying the devil with a serpent, a reptile created on the sixth day of creation by God, makes God the culprit of evil, since, according to him, it turns out that God created the devil as such. Thus, the author of the book “Why I believe in God” rejects the Christian teaching that the highest angel Dennitsa became the devil (Greek - slanderer) of his own free will, having fallen away from God.

Another stumbling block that provoked a false stream of sophistication was for Viktor Veinik the fact of the creation of the world by God from nothing (in patristic terminology, from non-existent) declared by the Bible. The verb “bara” (Heb. – “created out of nothing”) in Genesis 1:1 speaks of such a peculiarity of creation: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” St. Theophilus of Antioch wrote about this in the 2nd century: “What is great if God created the world from ready-made matter? And a man-artist, if he receives a substance from anyone, makes of it what he wants. The power of God is revealed in the fact that out of nothing he creates what he wants ”(Epistle to Autolycus, II, 4). Viktor Veinik's reasoning strongly diverges from the patristic: “How can something be made 'out of nothing'? To understand this, we will cite other similar phrases from the Bible: “He hung the earth on nothing” (), “from the invisible came the visible” (); these phrases are sufficient. We now know that the words "on nothing" in the first quote refer to an invisible and imperceptible, very thin material gravitational nanofield. Therefore, the whole point is not in the absence of the building substance, but in its invisibility. Consequently, the visible material heaven and earth were created by God from invisible substances, but precisely from substances, that is, in fact, everything in the world is material, material. This is another crushing blow to naive materialism, because even the very name used by atheists to oppose the material to the spiritual loses its meaning” (I, p. 139).

It is difficult to call a "naive materialist" or "atheist" St. John Chrysostom, but he resolutely objects to Viktor Iozefovich: “And what excuse can you have, what excuse, when you are so mad and dream about what is higher than your nature? To say that everything came from ready-made matter and not to admit that the Creator of the universe created everything from nothing is a sign of extreme madness ”(Conversations on the Book of Genesis, II, 2). So, according to the teachings of the Church, God, being an absolute Personality, did not need any material, either visible or invisible, for the creation of the world, and created the whole world at the behest of His will. The beginning of the world was also the beginning of time itself: “first day”, “second day” (), etc. Before the creation of the world, there was neither time nor any matter: there was only one eternal God. Therefore, speaking about the fact that the verb "bara", used in the first lines of the book of Genesis, indicates the use of invisible "building substance" by God, Viktor Veinik argues that God is co-eternal with matter and is not an absolute Creator.

Let us add that, citing a quote from the letter of the Apostle Paul to the Hebrews in support of his fabrications, Viktor Iozefovich deliberately takes it out of context. In fact, from verse 35 of chapter 10 and in verses 1-3 of chapter 11, the apostle Paul speaks about faith: about the possibility of knowing phenomena and events invisible to us only through conviction in their existence, trust in divine Revelation. It should be noted that from the point of view of theology, the very methodology of Viktor Veinik's work with the texts of Holy Scripture is unacceptable. First, as has already been shown many times, the author of Why I Believe in God does not take into account the context of certain passages of the Bible.

Secondly, the goal of the divine Revelation communicated through biblical texts is ignored, as giving a person the knowledge necessary to save the soul in eternity and mechanisms, ways to implement this knowledge. In particular, Viktor Veinik discusses the role of the brain in human life: “Analysis shows that in Scripture the word “brain” is mentioned only twice: (“its insides are full of fat, and its bones are filled with brain”) and (“the Word of God penetrates to division of soul and spirit, compounds and brains”). There is not the slightest hint in these texts of any thought process connected with the brain, hence the Bible does not explicitly consider the brain to be an organ of thought. This once again confirms the previous physiological conclusion that there are no areas or points in the brain responsible for the creation of thought” (I, p. 105). We note that we do not know in principle who, where and when considered the bone marrow, which is referred to in the quotes cited by Veinik, as an organ of thinking. To attribute the very possibility of such an absurd assertion to Holy Scripture is blasphemous. And it is clearly erroneous to assert that if something is not mentioned in the Bible, then this is not actually the case: one simply does not need to look for physioanatomical revelations in a book that shows humanity the way to salvation in eternity.

Thirdly, if in the Biblical texts, as Viktor Veinik claims, there are any mathematical regularities, allegedly discovered by Ivan Panin, then this fact in no way proves that the Bible “to its last line is literally “embedded in the brains” of those who wrote to her people by the Lord Himself” (I, p. 14, 22, 31, 53 and many others). At best, from the dubious and unconfirmed discovery of Ivan Panin, it follows that the writing of the text of the Bible was led by some superhuman mind, about the nature and moral orientation of which, in the context of the discovery itself, one can argue for a long time and without evidence. By the way, “mathematical proofs” and “decoding” of the texts of the Bible have taken more than one mathematician to the “far away” (). Here is another mathematician, A.T.Fomenko, “proved” that the whole story that we know is nothing more than a fake, and Jesus Christ was in fact Pope Gregory Hildebrant. And also some people believe the “historian”, and refer to “rigorous mathematical proofs”.

The teaching of Viktor Veinik about human diseases as an automatic consequence of the violation of spiritual laws is completely contrary to the Holy Scriptures and Holy Tradition: “The Creator laid down automatic mechanisms in the human body that, during a sinful life, cause spiritual and physical diseases” (I, p. 55). If we turn to the texts of Holy Scripture, we will see that the Bible says a lot about the sickness of the righteous and the prosperity of sinners. It is enough to mention the Old Testament Book of Job or remember the parable of the rich man and Lazarus (). From Holy Tradition we can give an example that is closest to us in time: Saint Ambrose of Optina, being himself a seriously ill person and at the same time a righteous man, healed spiritually and bodily many who came to him. The list of diseases and allegedly automatically causing their causes, which is given by Viktor Veinik (I, pp. 78-78), does not correlate with Orthodox teaching about God as the Provider and Savior of the world, taking a direct part in the life of every person.

Numerous arguments of Viktor Iozefovich that a person is not able to think independently, but can only perceive thoughts coming from God or the devil, we allow ourselves to be left without detailed comment. Let us simply note that, speaking about the creation of man in the image of God and about the difference between man and the whole created world, Sts. Gregory Palamas, Simeon the New Theologian, Gregory of Nyssa, Anastasius of Sinai and Blessed. Theodoret unanimously affirmed that a person has such an ability.

Replicas from the school bench

Professor V.I. Veinik clearly outlined his position in relation to modern science: “Modern official science not only does not help, but even hinders, harms faith” (I, p. 317). To this “modern official science taught in schools, technical schools and institutes and professing atheism”, the scientist opposed “science from Christ” (I, p. 318).

In the process of reading Viktor Veinik's book Why I Believe in God, many things seemed doubtful and incomprehensible to us from the standpoint of the course of physics that we once studied at school. But numerous references to experiments, allegedly described in the early work "Thermodynamics of Real Processes", forced the author to believe. “Measurements show that there are two types of spirits: good and evil” (I, p. 189). “The latest scientific, theoretical and experimental studies show that in our material world there really are spirits of good and evil” (I, p. 238). “Today, with the help of instruments, installations, it is possible to check the presence of a spiritual world that lives outside of time and space” (I, p. 277). These are quotes from Why I Believe in God. Everything looks quite scientific: “research”, “devices”. However, faced with the need to answer in detail the questions of parishioners about the book "Why I believe in God", we, through the Internet, found the same "Thermodynamics" published in Minsk in 1991. To our surprise, it turned out that this work was not on the scientific, but on the occult site "Eniography".

Let's turn to the book "Thermodynamics of Real Processes" and see what kind of research Viktor Veinik conducted and what instruments he used.

“No less revealing are my experiments of mentally loading water into a bubble from a distance. It is enough to think about a bubble and mentally pronounce a certain word so that the water turns out to be charged with plus or minus chronons. I was at different distances from the bubble: in the same room with him, at a distance of 10 km, in another city, etc.; in all cases the result was the same, upon arrival I fixed the sign of the chronons with a frame ”(II, XXVI, 4, italics - St. Andrew). “For example, taking 20 g of red champagne on an empty stomach after 1-2 minutes, when alcohol penetrated the brain (according to the feelings of a psychic woman), was accompanied by an increase in the radius of the ellipsoid from 0.24 to 0.42 m.” (II, XXVI, 6, italics ours). For those who are ignorant of the occult, let us explain: the “frame” is the traditional tool of the psychic: usually, a steel knitting needle bent by the letter “G”, which the psychic holds in his hand and the deviation of which fixes and interprets depending on the nature of the information requested. It would not cause us any surprise if scientists subjected this occult “tool of labor” to careful study and research, but its use as a physical accurate measuring instrument is nonsense. How to bring under the category of physical and mathematical measurements "feelings of a female psychic", we also find it difficult to say.

These two examples (out of a possible set) are enough to argue that some of the experiments and conclusions described and made by Viktor Veinik on the pages of the book "Thermodynamics of Real Processes" have nothing to do with science.

Flirting with the world of the occult does not pass without sad consequences for anyone. In his later works, collected in the book Why I Believe in God, Viktor Veinik makes obvious logical errors in reasoning and proof, unforgivable given his scientific regalia.

On page 141 we read: “A person does not have an organ of thinking, the creation of thought: the human brain is designed exclusively to control all the functions of life, the body.” In support of his thesis about the absence of a thinking organ in a person, Viktor Iozefovich gives the following examples: “In 1925, in the hospital of St. Vincent, a child was born in New York, he developed quite normally, but died on the 28th day of life; an autopsy showed that he had no brain. In the 1950s, the German professor Houfland observed an adult patient with normal mental and physical abilities, but after his death, it was found that his skull instead of a brain contained only 310 g of water. The question is, what do these examples prove? They, of course, refute the author's own assertion that "the purpose of the brain is to control all the internal processes of life" (I, p. 160). Otherwise, how could an "adult patient" have "normal physical abilities" in the absence of a brain? And what external manifestations of the "creation of thought" in relation to a 28-day-old "physically developing quite normally" child, in principle, can we talk about?

Viktor Veinik makes another gross mistake in the chapter "The Spiritual World and Man in Concepts of Cybernetics" in the book "Thermodynamics of Real Processes". The author cites an unknown method of obtaining data: “A few statistics. Being assembled in a huge enterprise controlled by almost a thousand computers, it is terrifying, because almost 100% of professionals who constantly work with computers and do not lead a church lifestyle in Orthodoxy are demon-possessed, and the degree of obsession among programmers is on average 5.7 times higher, than non-programmers who maintain computers” (I, p. 283). How one can scientifically diagnose possession and on what scale the author measured the “degree of possession” is a theological mystery. But the author promises that “below he will try to substantiate this scientifically” (I, p. 284).

We read further in anticipation of substantiation and come across another unsubstantiated statement: “Over the past seven and a half millennia, demons have trained to be first-class programmers. In addition, computers themselves appeared not without their participation” (I, p. 296). And, finally, on the next page we are waiting for a claim for “scientific justification”: “Today, programs for a machine computer are written by a programmer, who is required to have highly developed intuition and imaginative thinking. The demons willingly help him with their rich experience - this is much simpler, easier, more natural and inconspicuous than imposing extraneous malicious thoughts in order to entrap. Now it has become their second profession. As a result, the programmer quickly becomes addicted to them and becomes at the forefront of the risk group in terms of loss of will and possession by demons. The situation is aggravated by the role assigned to the computer by the end of this dying century. Evidence of all this is the amazing statistics mentioned at the beginning of the article, which is a consequence of the presence of a huge army of “helper” demons, their large concentration around the computer” (I, p. 297). So, the statement that Viktor Veinik promised to “scientifically substantiate” at the beginning of the chapter is the proof of everything that has been written to substantiate this statement.

Indeed: this is not “modern official science taught in schools, technical schools and institutes and professing atheism”, but even more so it is not “science from Christ” (I, p. 318).

Scientific and apologetic activity of Viktor Veinik: its correlation with the rites and Sacraments of the Church

“Reception of water and food artificially charged by the chronal field, for example, with a finger or in another way, increases energy. To make food and drink more useful, it is enough to quickly wave your index finger at them several times. right hand; as a result, they are charged with chronal radiations, and the magnitude of the acquired charge is proportional to the number of strokes” (II, XXVI, 6). It is not difficult to correlate this “scientific discovery” with the experience of the Church, which, taking all possible care of the welfare of its children, invites them, in the name of Christ, to overshadow food before eating with the sign of the cross, and not “quickly wave at them with the index finger of the right hand.” “By measuring energy, one can judge the compatibility of people. For example, a person has to communicate with another person. I measure his energy (the instrument for measuring is the same occult frame - St. Andrei) before and after communication and by the change in energy I judge the nature of communication, the relationship of these people, the impact of the second on the first. By measuring the energy of team members before and after communication, it is easy to judge their compatibility; psychologists (and bosses) could use this” (II, XXVI, 6).

Have been taken for a long time. Free newspapers, published in millions of copies, have entire spreads devoted to the "occult services" sections.

“It is interesting that even the names are divided into happy and unlucky. Measurements show that happy names charge a person with plus-, and unlucky names with minus-chronons. So, calling a person an unlucky name, we each time irradiate him with a field harmful to health ”(II, XXVI, 10).
At Baptism, a person is given the name of a saint, that is, a name sanctified by the Church. For some, this name, of course, can be considered "unlucky" ...

“The active monasteries and temples greatly contribute to the purification of the chronosphere, but so far there are too few of them, so they are powerless to withstand the coming disaster. There are known attempts by individual enthusiasts to solve this problem in their own way - by the method of meditation of a very large group of people. For example, meditation by about two dozen psychics for an hour daily dissolves malignant chronal developments so that in a week the number of violent crimes in the nearby area decreased by 29% ”(II, XXVI, 12).

From the above fragment it follows that at the time of the devastation of the Church, psychics become temporarily "acting" saints.

“As for the saints, their portraits always radiate plus-chronons. For example, I found that in the famous Lives of the Saints of Dmitry of Rostov, all the portraits in all 12 volumes are positive, with the exception of one, two, or three on that volume. Exception portraits give either zero or negative radiation. In the first case, we are talking about the imagination of the artist, in the second, a person is canonized by mistake” (II, XXVII, 13).

No comments…

Supporters of the apologetic work of Viktor Veinik argue that the work "Thermodynamics of Real Processes", published in 1991, does not reflect the subsequent religious views of the author: in January 1992, Albert Veinik was baptized in the Orthodox Church with the name Viktor. However, this is how I started my new Christian life Viktor Iozefovich: “In January 1992, I began to partake of the Body and Blood of Christ, at the same time determining my chronal energy by measuring the radius of the nano-chronal ellipsoid (i.e., returning home after Communion, Viktor Veinik was immediately engaged in occult practice – Fr. Andrei). Earlier, I found that one prayer "Our Father" increases the radius of the nanochronal ellipsoid by thousands of times, and an hour's stay in Orthodox Church during worship - hundreds of thousands and millions of times. For an ordinary person, the radius of the ellipsoid is several meters, for psychics it reaches many kilometers, it was the same with me ”(I, p. 173). “Now it turned out that Communion increases this radius like an avalanche. In addition, each subsequent Communion increases the overall average level of energy. For example, on one of the Saturdays on the eve of communion, the radius was equal to one with 56 zero meters (1056 m). Participation in Saturday evening worship increased it by a billion billion times (up to 1074 m). Approximately the same time multiplied it on Sunday, relying before Communion morning prayer(up to 1091 m). And the Sunday Communion itself raised the radius to values exceeding one with 252 zero meters (10252 m) - I no longer had insulating sheets of polyethylene at hand (each sheet reduces the measured radius by 10 times). Amazing result!" (I, p. 173).

Yes, indeed, the imagination is amazing. It is especially striking when comparing the above excerpt with a fragment from the work “Thermodynamics of Real Processes”: “Watching KVN-86 broadcasts on TV by one psychic who loves humor increased its radius from 1000 to 35000 km. The program “Around Laughter” significantly increased the energy. Enormous growth of energy can be achieved through meditation. For example, prayer increased energy in one case from zero to 1.35 m, and in the other - from zero to 560 km. Staying at the shrine of Sergius of Radonezh for an hour increased energy by 1 million times and for a long time (the experience was repeated three times). A session of therapeutic hypnosis raised the patient's energy by 100 times and reduced that of the hypnotist by 10 times" (II, XXVI, 6).

Obviously, after his reunification with the Church, Viktor Veinik did not leave occult practice, but at the same time he changed the objects of research: now they have become the shrines of Orthodoxy, incl. Holy Communion. Viktor Iozefovich continued the propaganda of extrasensory perception: in his opinion above, after Communion, changes occur in a person that elevate him to the level usual for an average psychic. At the same time, according to Veinik, the influence on a person is regardless of why the person came to the temple and what he did there: the “radius of the ellipsoid” still increases. Let us pay attention to the fact that the “ellipsoid radius” propagated by Veinik increases from reading the prayer “Our Father”, and from the KVN-86 broadcast, and from staying at the shrine of St. Sergius of Radonezh, and from meditation, and from Holy Communion, and from the seance therapeutic hypnosis, and from watching the program “Around Laughter”.

Yes, Viktor Veinik accepted Orthodoxy, but not as the Truth, but as a space for his new experiments. This time, experiments with the patience of God...

On the one hand, the author of the book “Why I Believe in God” admitted that before joining the Church he had direct contact with fallen spirits: “I managed to show in direct experiments that it is demons who operate the dowsing frame, because the Light Forces do not engage in farce tricks” (I, p. 171). On the other hand, having been baptized, Viktor Iozefovich was not at all going to stop his “farce tricks”, but only tried to protect himself from the undesirable and already known consequences of occult practice by participating in the Sacraments of the Church: “Remembering that“ this same kind is expelled only by prayer and fasting ”(), as well as the fact that the Body and Blood of Christ drives away demons from those who take communion, I in a calm atmosphere checked the reliability of the testimony of the dowsing frame ”(I, p. 172). “The signs of chronal radiations of the portraits of the deceased people received earlier were checked by the former frame after five every Sunday Communion” (I, p. 174). The question is, why was it necessary to drive away “this generation by prayer and fasting” - so that then again, “like a dog, return to your (occult - St. Andrew) vomit” ()?

Viktor Veinik himself was aware of the inadmissibility of such research: “Now it is already possible and appropriate to reveal here, finally, my other secret, to repent and express a most serious warning to the overly inquisitive. The fact is that in the book "Thermodynamics of Real Processes" under the abbreviation SD, for censorship reasons, the Holy Spirit was meant, and under ND - an unclean spirit. SD-substance (SD-what!? - St. Andrew) charge (bless) water, prosphora, oil, arthos and other substances in the Church. Holy water and prosphora are the most accessible to believers, so I ventured to measure their chronal and power properties. And he was punished for his impudence: having come to church after the experience, he lost consciousness, fell down and smashed right side faces and right leg, then limped for two weeks and admired his scars. Artos is a more serious shrine, and a more serious punishment is due for it. And for the Holy Gifts, one inquisitive monk immediately paid with a terrible death - he was torn to pieces by demons ”(I, p. 175). Well, the circumstances of the death of Viktor Veinik under the wheels of a car make us think about many things: “On November 24, 1996, at six o’clock in the morning, Viktor Iozefovich hurried to the early Liturgy at the Cathedral of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul in the city of Minsk in order to be a partaker of the Holy Body and Blood of Christ, however The Lord judged otherwise. His bloodied and crushed body was left lying on the ground” (I, p. 328).

So, based on the theological and general analysis of the content of two books by Viktor Veinik ("Thermodynamics of Real Processes" and "Why I Believe in God"), let us make the following conclusion.

The gross logical errors in reasoning and evidence noted in the books under consideration, the propaganda of the results of occult practice as the results of scientific experiments, allow us to make an assumption about the degradation of the author as a scientist-physicist that developed as a result of fascination with occultism. Numerous examples of methodologically incorrect handling of the texts of Holy Scripture also reveal its theological inconsistency.

These books are not a “crushing blow to naive materialism and atheism,” as Viktor Iozefovich Veinik claimed, but a discrediting of the Church, on behalf of which anti-scientific (i.e., false) knowledge is being disseminated and pseudo-Orthodox occult dogma is preached.

instead of an epilogue. The path to faith in God and the path of trust in God

In numerous conversations about the books of Viktor Iozefovich Veinik, we often heard accusations against us: “But how can you say such a thing about an outstanding person, about a wonderful talented scientist who served science for several decades, who went through his thorny path to Orthodox faith? We answer: how can we be silent about this?

It is strange not to hear protests from a scientist, in whose laboratory a first-year student who did not pass the exam would come and unceremoniously begin to rearrange and reconfigure all the devices with the words: “in fact, everything should be like this!”. It is all the more irresponsible to silently observe the antics of a person with a professorial rank, who, having just crossed the threshold of the Church, immediately declares her erroneous understanding of the texts of Holy Scripture and calls for a "radical reconsideration of the attitude towards the Creator."

Yes, different people come to Christ in different ways. And everyone comes with their own. Someone with palm branches. Someone with a whip, nails and a hammer. Someone with peace and incense. Someone with a frame and polyethylene. For two thousand years the Church has been preaching that the grace of the Risen Christ permeates the entire universe, all the layers of polyethylene that are in it. Only one thing cannot penetrate the grace of God: a heart that does not trust the truth of the Resurrection, forcing human hands again and again to crawl with pseudo-devices into all the wounds of Christ.

The Christian who has found the Truth does not measure it, but lives it. The spiritual experience of Viktor Iozefovich Veinik, a man who entered the Church with an occult frame and pieces of polyethylene, personally revealed in the books, shows the reader not an experience of faith in God, but an experience of active distrust of God and the Church of Christ.

This is the main thing that we wanted to show with our article.

Alexander Veinik

introduction

From the materialistic worldview, Professor V.I. Through the study of “paranormal phenomena” (UFO, poltergeist, extrasensory perception and other kaleidoscope of bright and noisy “miracles”) Veinik comes to the Christian faith, to a deep understanding and acceptance of the Orthodox dogma. Of course, it was not immediately easy to understand and reject those pseudo-spiritual and pseudo-religious statements that Professor V.I. Veinik examined and studied with kind inquisitiveness, with scientific objectivity and responsibility. A sincere and selfless naturalist, he tried to act according to the instructions of St. app. Paul: “Test all things; hold fast to good things” (1 Thess. 5:21). He resolutely subjected to research everything, all aspects of earthly and afterlife. It is known that there are phenomena that are hidden from man, that are beyond the limits of empirical experience. Much is inaccessible to consciousness, which is darkened by the current sinful state. Inappropriate and sinful here is the curiosity of a spiritual and bodily person. But spiritual can judge everything and understand everything (cf. 1 Cor 2:14-15).

Scientific research and theological understanding of phenomena that are on the border of the material and spiritual is possible only under the condition of deep humility, reverence for the Creator and Provider, constant prayer and repentance. It was these virtues that were characteristic of the late Viktor Iozefovich. In scientific works, in many journalistic articles, he presented interesting and extraordinary judgments, and possibly discoveries. There are topics that need further study, judgments on which the Church has not been definitively and authoritatively declared. Here is the area of free theology and the point of view of the respected professor V.I. Veinik has the authority of private opinion.

Priest

“Russia will be saved by creativity– a renewed religious faith (within Orthodox Christianity), a new understanding of man, a new political construction, new social ideas...” These words belong to the outstanding Russian thinker, philosopher, statesman, historian of religion and culture Ivan Aleksandrovich Ilyin (1883-1954). ).

He rejects the rational science of the West. Western science, in his words, knowing “nothing but sensory observation, experiment and analysis, is a science spiritually blind: she does not see the object, but observes only its shells; its touch kills the living content of the object; it gets stuck in parts and pieces and is powerless to rise to the contemplation of the whole.”

“Russian science is not called upon to imitate Western scholarship, either in the field of research or in the field of worldview. It is designed to develop their worldview, their research. Any real, creative researcher always develops own, new method ... The Russian scientist, in his entire warehouse, is called upon to be not a craftsman and not an accountant of a phenomenon, but artist in research; a responsible improviser, a free pioneer of cognition... His science must become the science of creative contemplation - not to abolish logic, but to fill it with living objectivity; not in violation of fact and law, but in vision of a holistic object, hidden behind them."

“Only a new idea can revive Russia: only renewed souls can recreate it...” “The Russian idea is an idea hearts. Idea contemplative heart. Heart contemplating freely and objectively and conveying his vision to the will for action and thoughts. She claims that the most important thing in life is love, and that it is love that builds a common life on earth, for faith and the whole culture of the spirit are born from love. This idea the Russian-Slavic soul, since ancient times and organically predisposed to feeling, sympathy and kindness, perceived historically from Christianity, she responded heart on God's gospel, on the main commandment of God, and believed that "God is love." "Love is the main spiritually creative force of the Russian soul” / I.A. Ilyin. Our tasks. Volgograd: Tsaritsyn Society for the Revival and Strengthening of Orthodoxy, 1994. Vol. 1. Selected articles /.

Beginning with Ivan the Terrible, and especially with Peter the Great, the widespread penetration of Western culture and science, guided by insensitive reason, changed the relationship between heart and mind, feeling and knowledge in Holy Russia in favor of the latter, and a great apostasy from faith took place, culminating in the catastrophe that is now observed. It is unthinkable to return to the former spirituality of the heart, that is, to renew the soul, if one does not overcome those heaps of deceit and lies that Western materialism and atheism have brought with them. And they can be overcome only if one turns to the main source of God's gospel - to the Holy Scriptures, for it is addressed precisely to heart person, to his feeling giving birth love and faith. Scripture also provides for a limited minimum natural scientific information, they are necessary and sufficient to cope with the task.

Of decisive importance in this matter is the greatest discovery of our time, created by the brilliant Russian scientist Ivan Panin (1855-1942), who strictly mathematically proved that the canonical Bible, to its last line, was literally “embedded in the brains” of the people who wrote it by the Lord Himself. Therefore, she, like God, is absolutely true, and she must be believed unquestioningly. Therefore, in order to understand the structure of the world and man in a new and correct way, we must take as a basis the natural-scientific texts of Holy Scripture. The new understanding of the world and man must inevitably be followed by new ideas of political and social construction.

The most important should be recognized as texts that put a completely new meaning into the known physical concepts of time and space. On this foundation a new science is built - the general theory (OT) of nature. It contains a number of previously unknown laws that explain the fact of the existence of an invisible spiritual world parallel to ours and allow us to give a simple and clear theoretical and experimental interpretation of many other biblical texts that previously seemed incomprehensible or even doubtful. For example, it became clear how “Philip was caught up by the angel of the Lord, and the eunuch did not see him... But Philip was in Ashdod” (Acts 8:39-40); how, during the flood, in the relatively small ark of the righteous Noah, such a multitude of “pairs of clean and unclean” could fit together with the food they needed; how a whale with its narrow neck could swallow the prophet Jonah; how during the battle of Gibeon “the sun stood in the midst of the sky and did not hasten to the west for almost a whole day” (Josh 10:13), etc.
