		<description>Dear Vic,

I read the sample of The Secret Ages book and would like to ask and answer a couple of points made.  1. Do you know WHY it makes a difference as to whether we believe that the Earth and Man were made billions or 500,000 years ago or in 6,000 years (6 days)?  2. Or why it is important to make a distinction between Evolution and Creation?  Just look at this World for the obvious answers.  Yes, there is an awesome intelligence evident in Nature and the biology,psychology and spirituality of Man and yes, this is a power and endowment that we can and should connect with and yes, we can and do evolve in understanding and spirituality when we connect with this extraordinary intelligence.  The reason why it is important to make a very clear distinction between two premises is that one is TRUE and the other is FALSE; one leads to exaltation, justice, honour and abundance; the other leads to greed,cruelty,ignorance and horror.  It is clear that the world has followed the latter and is being encouraged further down this sliding chute to destruction.  We certainly did not 'evolve' from some kind of bacterial activity any more than a simple bug did and this is proven for those who lack the intelligence of reason.  In order to delude us further down this path of ridiculous ignorance, it has to be justified by the story of an Earth billions of years old, as evolution could not happen in a mere 6000 years.  From this fantasy, everything else becomes possible, no matter how bizarre and illogical.  That we are graced with the power of imagination and choice is a gift which can be used for either benefit to all or detriment for all.  Look at how this has been and is being used.  If we leave God out of the equation (which is impossible anyway) we delude ourselves into thinking that material wealth and personal aggrandisements are all we need for a happy, successful life.  This pure selfishness conveniently ignores the awful reality of millions of children, adults, animals, suffering unspeakable horrors right below the radar screens of our ignorance. The situation is on a scale where we are helpless to resolve it by ourselves or collectively without Supreme Assistance and there is only one Supreme Assistance we can and should call into our lives and that is Almighty God and Jesus Christ.  The most important book of the whole world history and our relationship with this Supreme Almight intelligence and power is God's message to us through The Bible.  Everything else is secondary to this.  Do the research, as I have and surely you will find the truth.  I am not religious, by the way and do not belong to any corrupted church; I'm just me.  Don't leave God out of the equation, for in truth, you cannot and if you try, nothing makes any sense - as events in this world proves and will continue to become even more evident.  What are people going to do when they find themselves in concentration camps?  Use their imaginations?</description>
