Conversion of Faith

I discussed many sound scientific ideas, so far, to show that my claim for existence of Messiah in nature, similar to other phenomena, is within the reach of investigation of ordinary humans. Although, I reiterate that believing it, at the end, is a matter of conversion. This conversion can be seen in every aspect of scientific and daily life. For example, you have seen that repeatedly you want to prove a fact for your colleague, for your spouse, for your students and children. They do not accept it from you. This is the nature of human (and other beings) for protection of integrity of its individuals. Overweight people do not accept your advice. Smokers do not accept your advice. People of high blood pressure do not commit them to a diet. All these happen in face of scientifically proven and globally observable facts. Suddenly, one smoker quits and never comes back to smoking. One overweight becomes slim. The seriousness of some of these facts is a matter of life and death, a matter of better life and more miserable life. Still, only a conversion of faith can help the victim to accept the scientific propositions involved. All the time human finds the devil easier to follow than what is good for him. Human is not rational. That irrationality is part of his nature to sustain his existence against unpredictable and random adversaries. If human was rational then his blue print and pattern of life would become revealed for his adversaries, the destructive forces of nature, and they could foil human plans for survival. Human and other animals are like guerrillas fighting deep inside the enemies territories. They should not carry any identification, weapon or anything that makes their enemies suspicious. If suddenly an engagement with enemy patrols occurred they should be able to use any improvised idea against it. This is partly physical, partly spiritual and partly definable in terms of "information." For example, language or dance in humans are such weapons. I used the term spiritual. It has my own meaning here. By that I do not mean preaching anything you already familiar with.
