5.1 HackedBy Peter Snyders 11.9.2026Another way of harassing you is with adware. This is like an advertisement except more in-depth. It can be like your windows window, with options under File, Home, Insert. Design etc. There is nothing in these options. There will be a window over this window. This window would ask you about things which you should never even dream of doing.&nbsp;The hackers had found that your cell phone number ends with, say, …16. They would then ask you to give the four digits preceding the end ones. If you give them these numbers, then they have your number to raid everything. All they have to do is to try out the different codes, 078, 068 and so on. If there is another number needed, all they have to do is try numbers 0 to 9. So, don’t, ever, give any information.Your financial information may be safe on a flash drive, but they can still get to your account. One of the things this adware does is to freeze an account you were trying to open. To open the file go to ‘Open with Word.’ You must save as soon as possible and save (ctrl + s) because it does not give you the option to save. If you have hacking adware included on your service, send your supplier PrtSc’s (print screens) of the two and them and ask why this intrusion has taken place.&nbsp;The invitation that the adware has does not make sense. They invite you to “Unlock your Full Potential with $R169.00 per month.” Is this a rand or a Dollar offer? The intention is not to enlist you. It is to hack your computer while they are on it.There is a way to get rid of the hacker. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc. This will open your task manager. Find unrecognized software and delete it. If your files are frozen Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc and under Apps, right click Microsoft Word and select End Task. This forcefully closes all frozen documents. Once you have restarted your computer, use Word’s built-in Document Recovery pane on the left to retrieve your auto-saved files.If you do not have anti-hacking software, get one as soon as possible. I suggest that you obtain this software directly from the overseas source and not fall for the South African unlicensed supplier. Their anti-hacking software plays all kinds of tricks with you. It, for example, asks you to upgrade soon after you have chosen and paid for a ‘good’ program. It also switches off your connection which gives hackers the opportunity to get into your system.Since you have all your data on flash drives and an external drive, scan your ‘This PC.’ And, again, backup your external drives like flash and external drives. To those of you who have not been hacked, all this may seem unnecessary, but once they get into your system, there will be many days when you cannot even use your computer.Perhaps you saw all the high buildings used in Cambodia equipped to hack computers and cell phones. People are promised great jobs overseas with high wages and even a managerial position, but when they get there, it is a different story. They break them during the first month by putting them into solitary confinement with all kinds of harassment.The workers are then used by hacking stupid people. Because the income would be minimal, they are not paid. They must be satisfied with the bedding and food they get. They are not allowed to have a phone of their own. They do not know where they are and may never see the outside. The computers that they use to do the hacking are monitored by the ‘higher’ workers.&nbsp;Even if they do get an opportunity to get out, they will not take it because if they are discovered they would be beaten to near-death. If you get hacked, place a letter there on your desktop titled “to the hacker.” In it you can tell him that you have no issues with him, but you will help him if he tells you anything that could trace his location. You will have a very slim chance of getting a reaction from him.If you have already purchased the Bitdefender Premium VPN, you could ask them to get rid of the Adware. They will then give you a long list of five steps and another of eight steps. Before you try these suggestions,&nbsp;Before you try to use these extensive steps look in the icons on the lowest part of your window. You will the adware there several times. Look closer and you will see it is in your Cloud. Go to your Cloud and you will find a strange icon there marked by a title like ……. If you just hover your mouse over it, Cloud will advise you that this is an unwelcome guest. So, delete 6the Adware. &nbsp;Your Cloud would then close. Collect all the files that cannot be returned to Cloud in a Folder.Next, we will talk about how you can buy anti-hacking software and for close to two months you still cannot open or activate your paid for accounts.

5.1 Hacked

5.1 Kaapsby © 6th September 2020 Peter Snyders supported by Unison Music and LiteratureEven though I have a very large Kaaps wordlist, I prefer to keep myself in the background. I was asked to be one of three adjudicators for the translation of the first eight verses in the Bible from English to Kaaps. After the competition we asked Litnet to give us the names of the competitors. There were twenty of them, but we could only contact eight of them. We used the Litnet numbers assigned to them. The names and numbers are given below:&nbsp;1. &nbsp;Kyle Deon Manuel&nbsp;2. &nbsp;Denver Breda&nbsp;5. &nbsp;Christo Meyer&nbsp;8. &nbsp;Ivor Swartz11. Ilne Fourie12. Rovwena Bestenbier19. Hendry Kortje20. Hein KleinbooiIn future, we will give your name and number when we show how you applied the rule, but if there are a few of you, we may have to give only the number to save space and time.There is no copyright on words; if there were we would not be able to speak and write. Also, we do not know who first created the word. But we are doing our best to credit the source from which we obtained our examples. While on this point, please note that we show you the rule, but how you apply the rule is all up to you. The first principle of writing down a language is: We write the way we speak. When we get to the phase of making a dictionary of Kaaps we will use rules to decide what is the best word and spelling to use. So, continue writing the way you speak. This means that there can be several ways to apply the rule. So, do not change your spelling. When we look at the spelling rules to use by convention i.e. by mutual consent, we will look at all the options. Think of rules as options. We said earlier that languages that only use the five main vowels do not need to create new vowels by simply expressing them in versions higher and/or lower, further forward and/or backward in the mouth or writing vowels together like the ee and oo as in the Afrikaans words for been (leg or bone) and hoor for hear.Languages, like isiXhosa and isiZulu that also use the five main vowels do not have such sounds and diphthongs or other such means of adding new words to the inventory (collection of sounds). They use other means that are foreign to the West such as clicks, unusual consonant combinations such as dl and hl and aspiration or ejection (the phoneme, syllable or word is thrust out by an added gust of air) as in isi-Xhosa and isi-Zulu languages. The aspirated word, similar to Kora, is accompanied with an h such as the two isiXhosa words bala (count) and bhala (write). These two words have different meanings due to the aspiration. Kora also uses tonality. Please read this up yourself in Chapter Three (3) under 3.4 The Kora system of tone melodies in. Prof. Du Plessis’s Kora. Later we will explain simply how tonality works &nbsp;using the punctuation system of the West. So, now you also know why Kaaps is a musical language e.g. “Djy moet buk vi jou geluk.” (Used by a hawker in Gatesville to advise that the bargains are on the ground.) We inherited this wonderful tuneful way of speaking Kaaps from our Khoikhoi ancestors. We will not be investigating clicks, aspirations and tonalities at all – not even in the other four phases of Kaaps because these have obviously not survived in any of the phases given below: 1. &nbsp; &nbsp; Pidgin (the origin of a language.) &nbsp;This the Kora-Dutch phase.2. &nbsp; &nbsp; Creole (when the pidgin is spoken by the young as a new language. In South Africa this phase has been helped on by slaves, further Kora speakers, and some Western languages that settled here.)3. &nbsp; &nbsp; English phase (It became especially contributory to Kaaps after the settlement of many English from 1820 and onwards.)4. &nbsp; &nbsp; Afrikaans phase. (This phase forced Afrikaans down onto Coloureds and blacks since 1948 when the Afrikaners began ruling the politics.)5. &nbsp; &nbsp; Modern Kaaps phase. (This phase was started by S.V. Petersen, Adam Small and yours truly before 1994 but before and after this date, Kaaps took over the reins and began to swell along many fronts.)Besides the above, Kaaps did not have the luxury of being recorded by any means until quite recently (including yourselves). That which hás been written in books are superficial and biasedly influenced by the vanquishers. So, much of our language has been lost to Afrikaans that claimed Kaaps’s linguistic creations as their own accomplishments.Please also keep in mind that all other influences other than those by the Dutch and Kora in 1652 must be excluded. Even the Kora has changed, and if not much, the dictionary that Prof. Du Plessis compiled of her own research together with those former excellent field workers, is our foundation, but it too is limited.If you have not yet downloaded Kora, please click onto the link below and do so.https://sahistory.org.za/archive/kora-lost-khoisan-language-early-cape-and-gariep-menan-du-plessis

5.1 Kaaps

5.1 Absent Father of KaapsBy Peter Snyders 21.4.2022 GWe will always be faced with the same problem with regard to Kaaps. It was not only never recognised, it was derided, diminished to a slang, patois, jargon and other derogatory terms in an attempt to kill it. We were also always kept in a semi-slave condition. Even in the 1950’s (300 years after Van Riebeeck’s landing here) it was rare to find a Coloured with a university degree. Our high school principal, felt so unique with his Bachelor of Arts degree, he had a rubber stamp made which said S V Petersen, B.A. and he used it after everything he had to sign.So, we were never prepared to tackle the workings of Kaaps. Even today, when anybody can graduate with a degree, we have many Coloureds who are highly qualified but not one of them has so far showed that they know how Kaaps works. It is all talk with them. All intellect. No understanding. You can’t know anything about a language by reading many literary papers and theses and then quote all over the place. You need to be an indigenous speaker of the language and know something about how languages work.So, we will always be faced with a modern Kaaps that contains all the phases. Our first task is to trace how Kaaps originated and we want to do so as scientifically (i.e. with as much proof) as possible. We cannot prove everything that has happened when the Koranner and the Dutch first attempted to communicate in order to barter. Fortunately, we have the Science of Knowledge based on the Indian Epistemological systems that were founded by Masters with a spiritual knowledge far superior to the mundane academic knowledge of this world.So, when we try to establish why we are speaking in a particular way, we have to first put aside everything that have been added in the later phases. The situation is complex, but with the epistemic (knowledge) tools (pramanas) at our disposal, we have sufficient resources to reconstruct any particular phase of Kaaps. The prime requirement in the pursuit of spiritual knowledge is experience. So, instead of dreaming things up with the mind (something which spiritual scientists consider the most unreliable tool), we take the trouble to learn by direct experience anything we think we need to know in order to understand our own knowledge.There is so much written about pidgin in linguistic and other books. But we have yet to come across a linguist who has &nbsp;actually taken the trouble to learn the indigenous language by heart. Dutch is erroneously and far too greatly credited by latter day Afrikaner linguists with the formation of what they call “Afrikaans dialects”.&nbsp;Yes, there is some Dutch in Kaaps, but this father of pidgin Kaaps was never present in the life of the new-born pidgin. Just as he abused the women slaves to merely ‘fructify’ (to use Jan van Riebeeck’s word) them for the pleasure and to increase the slave numbers because a child born of a slave was automatically also a slave.&nbsp;Like the fathers who disappear after their children are born, so, too, was it with the Dutch. To them Pidgin Kaaps was just a convenient accident. The only sustenance that Pidgin Kaaps had, was the other parent, Kora. When the Dutch – and all the other visitors to the Cape – had finished their bartering, they returned to their barracks without a single thought of the tiny communication breakthrough that was made that day, by the indigene! That core of information exchange was left solely to the other party and his ignorantly typified so-called ‘barbarous language’.And so the Koranner went home and tried to understand the foreigner’s language. The mother gives love, support, sustenance and care to her new-born child. She can only give the baby what she has within her. And so it was with Pidgin Kaaps. As we have shown in our first letter that Kora also has greetings like “good morning, good afternoon and good evening.” We will prove, one day, that the Khoikhoi and San were actually living in the Kingdom of Heaven before the colonisers came to turn their lives in to a hell which is still plaguing the Khoisan descendants.So, without pride and selfish power, the Khoikhoi humbly put their own language aside when trying to help the foreigner with the needs that they required. As we have said with overwhelming proof from science, no one and nothing can change the inherent, internalised and eternalised rules of a language. So the few Dutch scraps the Koranner skilfully adapted to accommodate the infiltrator’s language together with the essence of the mother-tongue, Kora, the language which became Kaaps, our language, with an absent father. And when the father was indeed present, he despised his offspring.So, Kora, the language of the indigenes, provided the pidgin with the womb and formed it until its birth. This responsibility and the care that a reasonably prudent person would exercise, has, and still is, hampered by false and misleading impressions which spiritual practitioners find completely immoral. This depravity includes false ideas about racial superiority, a false imagining of Western civilization; Apartheid, a system completely and utterly thrown out by the divinity; and prejudice, built on completely erroneous, unscientific ideas of whiteness.

Hi Guys6.8.2026This is the 30th post since we started on 24th May 2026. I am four posts ahead because I have some challenging problems that also need my attention.&nbsp;Just one more thing: when you visit our blog at kaapsculture.org , and you wish to find the first of a series, go to the highest number. If you have three numbers like 3, 6 and 9, go to 9. Here you will find the oldest posts. If you have numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, go to 6. If you would like to see the latest posts, go to 1.Stay warmPeter Snyders&nbsp;&nbsp; Laura9.8.2026Thank you for your concern. I was once in Durban for no more than three days, but I do not think I met you.Do you notice how Afrikaans is becoming a spiritual language? Look up Matthew 10:19 - 20. Just look at Kelders van geheime and Paradys. I studied Afrikaans as a major at University, but it is not my part to write on the origins of Afrikaans. I think linguists all over the world are going to learn some things from my unorthodox approach. There are already many in South Africa who are calling for the recognition of Kaaps, but perhaps I shall come across someone who knows how to do it.Stay blessedPeter Hi Guys20.8.2026I posted 4.1 Pramanas without a photo. Sorry. I will do so next time.We were off for a while, and after they put us on again, it was all a mess. Add to that, I had Adware, a kind of hacking, but eventually, after many attempts, I found it in OneDrive as Personal Vault. I deleted it. The site even tells you that it is not welcome in it.&nbsp;Spiritual matters require more than what physical proofs use. This is why we post the Spiritual proofs. If you look at the blog Perception or an earlier version of Pramanas, you will be able to browse the first Pramana. There are six, but four are mainly used. So next we will post Comparison.Have a great dayPeter Snyders&nbsp;Hi Guys23.8.2026For those of you who couldn't work out the name of the blog, it is: kaapsculture.org.Sleep wellPeter Hi Guys26.8.2026Today we are posting on our blog kaapsculture.org,4.2 God Makes Heaven and Earth.We will be asking questions on this blog as we have been doing before. 1966 to 1976 we had a spiritual guide, Timothy Friswell, who said: "We do not know the correct answers because we do not ask the right questions."In Matthew 7:7. Jesus says: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8. for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9. Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone; 10. or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 12. All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets."This is the way to get to the spirituality of things. Remember the Law of Karma: for every action there is a consequence. So, not asking etc. is really meant only for those who are too far away from spirituality.The Buddha says that there are four types of humans. The fourth or worst type is for "those who do not know that they do not know." These are those who will argue with you without a credible option of their own. They will drench you. Buddha's recommendation towards such humans is to "shun them."Sincerest regards to all you questioners. &nbsp;Peter Snyders&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Hi Guys1.8.2026I stated that I was nearly 87 years of age, and it did not worry me because I was doing yoga and taking walks. I thought I could do this blog for at least another year, but now I am feeling rundown. I hope I can restore myself soon.Do visit the blog site at kaapsculture.org.I am trying to get back to 'normal.'Kindest regardsPeter Snyders&nbsp; Menan Du Plessis 5 Aug 2026, 19:48 &nbsp;&nbsp; Dear PeterI really hope the prednisone has you feeling better soon. You are the most beautiful soul, and your work matters as much now as it always has done throughout the years.Warmest&nbsp;Hi Guys 3.8.2026 The posts for July were somewhat overwhelmed by the word lists and tables affected by our CEO, Adrie Schrader.&nbsp; &nbsp;Peter Snyders&nbsp;26 Aug 2026, 10:33&nbsp; Hi Guys 26.8.2026 This will be the last post for August 2026.

<h3>4.2 Kaaps</h3>(© 4th September 2020 by Peter Snyders)We do not believe that the Western way of “proving” a statement by giving several quotes, references, and a bibliography is liable to mislead. Any spiritual practitioner can see when there is error or deception. The current system is a flawed system. We believe that the Eastern Science of obtaining true knowledge (truth) is to experience the facts – or errors – oneself. So, that is what you must do. You must look at your own way of writing and see which rules you are using.If you do not do this, then everything you know about Kaaps would be nothing short of parrot learning, i.e., knowledge without understanding through experience. Never change your spelling – there can be more than one rule for how to spell a word in Kaaps.We try to limit our choices of Kaaps words to a maximum of three syllables, but perhaps, with the next letter, we can attach all the contributors' words. Then you will see the diverse ways different writers spell the same word. Then, with all these rules available to us, as well as some reading rules, we could conventionalise (form by agreement) the best spellings to use, but never create a standard as language patriarchs do, and then expect Kaapsers to speak their writing rules! The speaker will always be king or queen of our language.With the Creative Commons Copyright (please Google and read the Wiki’s article), you are hereby given the right to share these articles about Kaaps free of any charge with anyone you think may benefit from them. You are legally bound to state the source, which is Peter Snyders for the moment.If any of you make a valuable contribution, we shall also need to include your name on the Copyright. It is for this reason that we ask you not to use this letter to reply personally to us, your facilitator, because your personal letters to him may be included when the articles are shared. Please use a new epost and write only to the blog. Use this Forum to send your ideas as a Reply to All.To those writers that we will be using as part of our proofs of how Kaaps is written, we apologise for stopping in 2021. I tested negative for Covid 19, so I thought it was the best time to take the vaccine. I became so ill that I could hardly even turn my torso slightly without getting lung pains.I fought this crazy vaccine because my Master (Supreme Master Ching Hai) did not appear to me to tell me when I would die. After I recovered, I refined what I had written to you – as you can see - and wrote lots of other things.We are open to receiving a few pages from anyone who writes in Kaaps. We will not have the time to extract the words. So, we ask you to create a custom.dic and all the Kaaps words that you tell your Microsoft dictionary to add to the dictionary will be stored in it. You then send us two to three pages plus the text you had copied. Please also add the meanings of words or anything you think is peculiar about the word. If you can have a Kaaps, Meaning, Afrikaans, Dutch, and English column, it will help. If you do not know Dutch, try to find someone to write it in.I only did Dutch as one-third of Afrikaans I at UNISA in 1981. I taught myself Dutch when I wanted to see how Dutch affected Kaaps. I did Linguistics I at UWC in 1986 because they did not offer English II and Afrikaans II that year. I knew absolutely nothing about languages, but something inside me said that I must not lose that year. For the first semester, I received 85% pass mark while 85% students failed. So, I decided to do Linguistics as my second major with Afrikaans because I did not see myself spending a year of English III, which dealt with Old English. So that is how I attained my Linguistics III major.Peter Snyders Edited 14.10.2024Thought for the day: Although their faults are theirs and not ours, should we discriminate, we too are wrong. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Huineng - Sixth Patriarch of Zen

<h3>4.2 God Makes Heaven and Earth</h3>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;American Standard VersionBy Peter Snyders under the sponsorship of Unison Music and Literature.&nbsp;So, we will just be pointing. We will put the information there in front of you, and you must decipher it yourself. The Supreme Master Ching Hai says that once you have come to a full understanding of something, then the knowledge becomes yours. So, once we fully understand the lesson, the content belongs to us. It doesn’t matter who wrote the book or who the teacher is.&nbsp;Unless we can understand everything in the book or what the teacher says, everything remains unintelligible or meaningless.So read up on your own 50%. Ask questions about the parts you still do not understand from people who you know will know. And search. We are fortunate that all we have to do these days is just type in a few words, and Google will give us a host of possibilities. Knock on the doors of the Masters like Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Lao Tzu, Ching Hai, and a whole list of others. Buy second-hand books on subjects you wish to investigate further.We are not going to tell you anything. &nbsp;We will only point out by giving some background information. And we will ask. A spiritual Master (Timothy Friswell) we had in the 1960’s and 1970’s said, “We do not know the right answers because we do not ask the right questions.” We will help you somewhat by asking you some questions or inviting you to examine the information before you. If you are not ready, then drop out. We will understand.Genesis Chapter 11. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.2. And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.6. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.7. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.8. And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.9. And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.10. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.11. And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, [and] fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so.12. And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good.13. And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.14. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:15. and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.16. And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.17. And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth,18. and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.19. And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.20. And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.21. And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind: and God saw that it was good.22. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.23. And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.24. And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so.25. And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the ground after its kind: and God saw that it was good.26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.27. And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.28. And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.29. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food:30. and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, [I have given] every green herb for food: and it was so.31. And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.Genesis Chapter 21. And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.2. And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.3. And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made.Notes: &nbsp;We have used the American Standard Version of the Bible because the compilers try to distinguish the different sources of the Bible. The first three verses from Chapter Two of Genesis obviously belong to Chapter One. It is the conclusion of the creation story by some deities other than Jehovah. Our focus will be on Jehovah, so we will be brief with regard to other sources.&nbsp;Note that wherever the American Standard version uses the term God or Gods and even angel/s, judge/s, sons of God, and others, the text was probably written by the writer who uses El (singular) or Elohim (plural) for God. (The source is described as E by Biblical scholars.) We will discuss the four sources of the Bible at some later time.&nbsp;This is the foundation section of the Bible. If we can find the answers to some difficult questions, it will put us in a position to upgrade from religious to spiritual.&nbsp;Up to here, we are not going into detail. The spiritual practitioner would have many questions, for example: Was there a beginning? If there were, what was there before the beginning? Why did God create the heaven and earth at that particular time? Why not earlier? Or later? What did God do before He created the Heavens and the earth? What about the universe? Who made God? &nbsp;Light was made on the first day, but the sun, moon, and stars were made on the fourth day. What is the difference?&nbsp;God made the plants and trees on the third day; how could they grow if sunlight was only made on the fourth day? What about photosynthesis, which needs light?&nbsp;Were there more than one Creator? Genesis1: 26. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”&nbsp;And what about this verse of Genesis 1: 29? “And God said [to the humans], ‘Behold, I have given you every herb [vegetables] yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food.” Does this mean that humankind should be vegetarian, or vegan, considering the cruelty to cows and sheep?&nbsp;What does science say about creation? What do the religions in the far east, like Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, etc., say about the creation?If any of you have some answers, we would like to hear them.Logical answers to these questions could fill a book or books. It would be one of a kind. Here’s your chance to get into print.© 9.1.2024 &nbsp;7.2.2024G &nbsp;&nbsp;
