Knowledge is useful, but only actions get results.

What we know is irrelevant to what we do if we fail to use that
knowledge to help us decide what to do, or worse, let someone else
decide for us based on what they know.

See my response to your request for my C.V.

With your awareness of our relative growth defecits, what will _you_
do next?

[Hammond]
Wrong. Both the 7 year old and the 15 year old have
"20-20 vision". But the 15 year old can actually see
15 frames a second as single pictures... while the 7
year old an only discriminate 10 frames a second
before it becomes a "movie".
The difference is that "comprehending a picture"
takes more than vision... it takes "intelligence"
(i.e. perceptual processing speed)... and the 15 year
old has more of it because his brain is MORE GROWN
than the 7 year old's (higher mental speed=higher intelligence,
note I didn't say IQ, I said Intelligence... IQ is Intelligence
divided by age remember... for exactly that reason by the way).
What this means then, since reality is a continously
changing scene.... is that the 7 year old "cannot see"
1/3 of reality compared to the 15 year old.... a fact that
any parent is well aware of.

> down so our witto minds can comprehend?


[Hammond]
No.. despite the fascination with "slow motion" in camera
phenomena (because it is 'reminicent' of said phenomena
of God).... it is NOT THE SAME THING... and is
unfortunately NO WHERE NEAR as dramatic as an actual
increase in mental speed (i.e. God).
The reason is, when you slow down a film of a person,
all you see is the same person (same identity) moving
slower. However... if that person actually really underwent
a total REAL life slow down... his "identity" would change.
First, he would be considered a "lower class" person than
he is now, he would have a different expression on his face
because of that, and different mannerisms and affects of
speech.. a totally different 'personality' (and attitude) and
would certainly be dressed differently and belong to a
different social circle... he would be TOTALLY different....
not merely "the same person but going slower".
And this is WHY it takes an "artist" to depict pictures
of "God" (i.e. the effects of God) on real people... such
as the Mona Lisa. The Mona Lisa is world famous because
it represents a very well known personality type in
history, and FURTHERMORE, is a dramatic example
of what an "increase in mental speed" will DO (e.g.
"transform") that particular personality into a person
of rare beauty. Mona Lisa is one of the leading
(artistic) representations of what the "realization of God"
does to a person... which is why the painting is
worth $50,000,000 dollars.
So... the upshot is NO... we are not going to be able to
"see God" by using simple zoom lenses and slow motion
on our video recorders (altho someone should be looking
into it). My prognostication is that ultimately sophisticated
"virtual reality" techniques using artistic input, biology
AND massive computing power, eventually WILL allow
us to "see God"... see our "real selves".... see "other
people's real selves" etc. etc...... but it isn't going
to happen overnight.
Eventually, such techniques will probably replace
psychiatrists (or psychiatrists will become masters at
the technique)... and it might even replace drug threapy
for mental illness. And CERTAINLY it will be the
be all and end all of educational therapy and a large
component of public education and even entertainment...
far surpassing anything Hollywood ever dreamed of!


> Are you saying its like when those

[Hammond]
Well... you/ve got to realize all of Hollywood fantasy
IS in fact an artistic attempt to educate the people as
to what "God" is. right now it's pretty crude... with
creatures like "Klingons", "Gaaulls" and others
wandering around the set. But once "virtual reality"
comes of age driven by a mathematical theory of God
and substantial computer power.... WOW... you're
going to see things you never even dreamed existed.
Things Moses, Paul and Jesus never even dreamed of
on their best day!

Kam.... I've already DONE THAT and published it in
the peer reviewed academic literature. But THAT involves
16 pages of print:
http://geocities.com/scientific_proof_of_god/Hammond5s1.html
which nobody including YOU has time to read... so THIS
EXERCISE is a synopsis of the RESULT based on that
EXISITNG AND PUBLISHED rigorous scientific proof.
And, BTW, that is eaxctly what the proof consists of...
a demonstration that "X phenomena" which is proven to
exist.... completely and overwhemingly explains in complete
detail... everything that has ever been reported about the
phenomena of God, including the entire Bible.

The only thing that you've ever proven in your miserable excuse for a
life is that Pergamon Press will publish complete trash.

AntiSPOG:
http://schornak.de/aspog/0000.htm
http://schornak.de/aspog/0001.htm
http://schornak.de/aspog/0002.htm
http://schornak.de/aspog/0003.htm
http://schornak.de/aspog/0004.htm

From AntiSPOG:
"In my evaluation of Hammond's "Introduction to SPoG" I checked 180
claims Hammond has made. 11 (eleven) of these 180 claims can be seen as
true. Most of the agreed statements are trivial like "Today the world
faces enormous crises in population, oil resources, terrorism and Third
World poverty.". This statement alone includes four of the eleven agreed
claims.

A thesis based on 11 true and 169 false claims must be discarded as
inadequately thought-out. Scientific work published in the internet
should be based on traceable thoughts and backed up with references
which are accessible for everyone - e.g. by quoting passages out of a
book or adding links to other websites. This isn't the case in Hammond's
work. Mentioning names of (questionable) "authorities" doesn't make a
claim true, it only might be used to back up the own position. If a
thesis is based on the work of other scientists, a detailed description
should be added to see what they've contributed to the new thesis. If -
like Hammond says - statistical data of other scientists are involved,
it is a usual thing to add a link to these data or to give detailed
information where they were published.

Hammond's SPoG in the given form is the mediocre work of an amateur. It
lacks of logic and often contradicts itself. It claims to be
"scientific", but it doesn't show any example of scientific experiments
to back it up nor does it follow basic scientific rules. The best
example surely is Hammond's attempt to assign his virtual "psychometric
space" to real space. This attempt alone disqualifies Hammond as an
incompetent amateur who never has understood anything regarding real
sciences. If I - as an autodidactic amateur - can see these flaws,
errors and misinterpretations, then I ask myself why Hammond expects
that professional scientists should consider to agree with something
like his SPoG.

On the other hand, no real Christian will need Hammond's SPoG. In the
eyes of a true Christian, any attempt to calculate "God" is blasphemic,
the work of a heretic. Even if I don't believe in higher entities, I do
respect the beliefs of others. Hammond doesn't have such qualms - he
insults all Christians and rubs their deity through the dirt.

In the end, Hammond neither will win the hearts of true Christians nor
will he convince the reason of scientists. It took me two weeks to
gather all the information to disprove SPoG, a professional scientist
could do the same in less than two minutes... "

You say X is all about Y then you say it's about Z instead. God is all
about this, religion is all about that. Intelligence is mental speed,
god is the gap between er, two different kinds of growth and now
religion is about speed of perception which can be learnt apparantly.

Where others see descreat frames you see a blur. Urm. It's what I've
also been saying - you have a step 1 and a step 2 but nearly always no
actual link between the two. In this case step 1 is how fast your
sensory perception works and step 2 is, er, god.
