Jesus said in Mark 11:23:
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Mountain-moving faith doesn’t work when doubt abounds. Doubt is the Devil’s business. He knows when there is doubt the mountain won’t move, and your Christianity won’t work. In the Devil’s first engagement with man, he said to grandmother Eve, "Yea, hath God said,...? Casting doubt is his business, but building the "yea and amen" is God’s. The child of God’s childlike faith is the doorway to all good and perfect things. When the absolutes of God’s Word are absolutely absolute, then I am traveling on the high plain of God’s blessing and privilege. Have you found this place? Have you surrendered your life unto the absolute? Have you passed into God’s invisible kingdom through the porthole called born-again? Welcome to GodSaidManSaid. Today is your day of salvation.

GOD SAID, Romans 1:20:
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
GOD SAID, Colossians 1:15-17:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
GOD SAID, Luke 17:20-21:
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
GOD SAID, John 3:6-8:
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
MAN SAID: Show me something real. Show me something I can see, smell, taste, touch, or hear, and then, maybe then I’ll believe.
Now THE RECORD. The more accomplished modern science becomes, the more obvious the truth of the scriptures shines forth. Thousands of years before the world’s most sophisticated science began to arrive at the truth of a matter, God had already declared it in His Word. Those, who in their childlike faith believed it, and were scoffed at for their "foolishness," are continually being vindicated, even at a breathtaking pace.
This is GodSaidManSaid feature article #489 that proves the full, literal inerrancy of Holy Writ. These subjects are archived in text and streaming audio. Every Thursday eve, God willing, they grow by one. Thank you for coming today. May the face of the Lord shine upon you with light and truth.
Unbeknownst to the skeptics constantly clamoring for the touchable, that which they revere most, the field of science has long functioned in the invisible. The foundation of all that is physical is, in fact, invisible. Evolution erroneously teaches that all you see simply exploded into existence out of virtually nothing. Most would be surprised to know that the diagrams of the atom they’ve seen in textbooks has, in fact, never been seen in reality, at least not until almost now. The following sentence is from the December 2009 issue of Scientific American: "Researchers have now managed to image the electron orbitals and show for the first time that, in a sense, atoms really look like those textbook images." [End of quote] We should also note that science doesn’t even understand what holds the atom together!
Billions of dollars have been spent on the construction and operation of particle colliders, with the latest being the Large Hadron Collider or LHC. One of the overriding goals is to discover the Higgs-Boson particle commonly called the "God particle," a particle believed to be foundational to all things—a unifying particle; a unifying theory. Of course, it’s invisible to the naked eye.
Dr. Gary E. Schwartz, with the help of William L. Simon, authored the book The G.O.D. Experiments. Before we review several excerpts on the subject of the invisible, we should review Dr. Schwartz’s credentials which are published on the flap of the book:
Gary E. Schwartz, Ph.D., is a professor of psychology, medicine, neurology, psychiatry, and surgery at the University of Arizona and director of its Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health. After receiving his doctorate from Harvard University, he served as professor of psychology and psychiatry at Yale University, director of the Yale Psychophysiology Center, and co-director of the Yale Behavioral Medicine Clinic, before moving to Arizona in 1988. He has published more than four hundred scientific papers and coedited eleven academic books. He is the author of The Afterlife Experiments and The Truth About Medium and coauthor of The Living Energy Universe. [End of quote]
Consider the following excerpts from The G.O.D. Experiments.
Excerpt #1:
What does it imply to you when science discovers the existence of an infinitely interconnecting invisible field that unifies and holds the entire universe together? Newton viewed the integrating force of the universal gravitational field as being a physical expression of the existence of a "God" who was not only unifying but was universally loving, too.
Excerpt #2:
Physics tells us, in no uncertain terms, that invisible fields—including gravitational, electromagnetic, and quantum fields—are the rule, not the exception, in nature and the universe. We live in a veritable sea of invisible fields. This infinite sea of fields permeates the vacuum of space with incomprehensively complex networks of structures and organizations. As astronomer Sten Odenwald writes in Patterns in the Void: Why Nothing Is Important, "We are forced to confront the fact that something hidden in the Void is controlling not just the subtle properties of matter but the destiny of the universe."
As Einstein said it, "The field is the only reality." All material things—including living systems—are organized by fields, as well as generating them. In light of this compelling evidence, logic requires that we entertain the hypothesis that invisible fields play a fundamental role in all physical phenomena observed in nature and the universe.
Excerpt #3:
Third, it’s well known that most of the energy and information that science has documented as existing in the universe cannot be directly experienced through our five senses. What we see with our eyes—as exquisitely complex and beautiful as it is experienced through vision—reflects only a tiny number of all photons in the universe. The visible frequency spectrum of light is but a tiny slice of the entire electromagnetic/photonic frequency spectrum of energy discovered and accepted by current science.
Invisible fields affect the functioning of every cell in our body to various degrees.
Excerpt #4:
It appears that as a species we have the intellectual potential not only to destroy or disintegrate everything (our destructive side), but to integrate everything (our constructive side) as well. If all things are indeed interconnected and interdependent, then we are all part of the Almighty One. In fact, according to contemporary field physics, we are never alone—rather we are "all-one." We need to learn to experience atonement, which is "at-one-ment."
.
While the faculty was marching in, everywhere I looked on the field I saw undergraduates speaking into cell phones, and everywhere I looked in the stands I saw family and friends speaking into cell phones. There were probably more than a thousand simultaneous cell phone conversations taking place between the field and the stands at that very moment. The radio waves were of course invisible to the naked eye. There were no wires connecting the students to their parents and loved ones. The calls were interconnected via the invisible radio frequencies. Most remarkably, each of them could hold a separate conversation—they did not experience one massive jumble of frequencies and words!
Excerpt #6:
Einstein said, "The field is the only reality." Einstein was driven to discover a unified field theory. He never reached his goal.
Excerpt #7:
These days physicists are predicting that there will be more potential energy in a single cubic inch of the vacuum of space than represented by all the matter in the universe.
On GodSaidManSaid there are several features that address the scientific theory of the invisible, parallel universe or universes, separated from our by a very thin membrane. The invisible is everywhere.
In a chart in the September 2009 issue of Scientific American, it is shown that an awesome, invisible, unidentifiable source of power and matter comprises 99.5% of the entire universe. The ordinary matter that makes up the planets, the stars, you, and me represents a miniscule one-half of one percent. Yes, the invisible rules in a most literal way.
A bullet point review of modern science’s quest for understanding and the answers to these questions given by God thousands of years ago follows:
Evolutionists postulate that a huge explosion out of a virtual nothing created the universe.
Not from nothing but from the invisible. Romans 1:20: "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"
What really holds that invisible atom together?
God created all things by Christ Jesus. Colossians speaks of this Christ in chapter 1, verse 17: "And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
We need to find the God particle — the Higgs-Boson — the theory of everything.
This question is answered in the very first book of the Bible. Genesis 1:1: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
Science now understands that foundational to all life is the invisible.
God is invisible. Colossians 1:15 speaks of Christ and the invisible God: "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:"
Einstein said concerning the invisible fields, "The field is the only reality."
The Bible says man’s life is a vanity — a mere vapor. Of the invisible God, it is written in Isaiah 40:25-28: "To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God? Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding." God is the invisible field.
There is more energy in one cubic inch of the invisible void of space than represented by all observable matter in the universe.
The invisible energy is, of course, the God of creation. The entire universe is filled with photons laden with information and energy, and most of their attributes are invisible to the naked eye. Photons are light. I John 1:5: "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."
Scientists now speculate that there is an invisible universe, or even universes, parallel with ours, and we are separated by the thinnest of membranes.
The scriptures teach the invisible Kingdom of God which is entered through the porthole of born- again. Luke 17:20-21: "And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."
Don’t all their latest discoveries and theories strangely sound like the God of the Bible? Part of the lyrics of an old, popular song read, "Knock, knock, knockin’ on Heaven’s door." Academia is knocking but it can’t get in. Entrance can only be accomplished through childlike faith, not worldly scholarship.
GOD SAID, Romans 1:20:
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
GOD SAID, Colossians 1:15-17:
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
GOD SAID, Luke 17:20-21:
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
GOD SAID, John 3:6-8:
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
MAN SAID: Show me something real. Show me something I can see, smell, taste, touch, or hear, and then, maybe then I’ll believe.
Now you have THE RECORD.
