A song I heard many times. A song I sung many times. A song I play on the guitar. I believe the song references John 16:33.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

He has overcome the world, and so we can too.

My father was a scientist. I asked him, “What’s science?” He said that scientists ask questions, and make experiments to get answers. The question is called a hypothesis. Of course you don’t need to make a controlled experiment, many answers can be drawn from careful observation. This is called the scientific method.

Another method is called the Socratic method. In this, you are supposed to engage others in a dialog with questions and answers.

Both of these methods could be about uncovering truth.

Then, there is the method of blog, or diaries. One keeps a daily record, it could be weekly, or randomly of one’s Fear, feelings, fantasies, Love, observations. To what end? For what purpose?

I feel a need to search, to find answers. I feel a need to fill that hole in my life. I feel a need to communicate, to share, to love. I feel a need to be honest with myself.

“Why?”

“Because I said so.”

I recorded Morricone’s theme from the film “The good bad and ugly” back in 2018. The movie is a spaghetti western about the U.S. Civil war. There is a three-way gunfight in the climax of the movie between Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach where this theme plays. The setting is a soldiers’ graveyard.

I recorded from a guitar tabulature from my program vguitar driving a MIDI synth.

so the thesis is that Exodus happened in 1446 BC and Solomon’s temple (the first temple) in 966 BC. And the world and Adam and Eve were created in Anno Mundi 3761 BC.
