  Promo for my new book 26.10.2026

  Since my new book was inspired by Paper 195 of the Urantia Book, here is a plug for it, hoping you will purchase a paperback or an eKindle version you can read on any device.Godless: How Secularism Will Destroy Society hits the truth head on: we have never given Jesus' teachings and philosophy of living a real chance to govern society, and the more secular we become, the less influence God has in our personal lives, and this leads to pessimism, despair, anxiety, unsettledness and eventually, hopelessness - the perfect ingredients for a godless totalitarian government to step in and "take care if us."Much of the inspiration opf Godless breaks down Paper 195 and Paper 196 from the Urantia Book, which explains how, as the authoritative Church has waned, the all-powerful social State has stepped in to assume control at the expense of our free will spirit, having been "endowed by our Creator." In the current Materialistic age, society is actually rejecting the truth, which we are all children of a loving spiritual creator, and there is a specific ideal plan for civilization that doesn't include being slaves to the State.

  Creation and Evolution 08.10.2026 14m

  The Evolutionary Panorama: From the Slime of the Sea to the Dawn of Human ConsciousnessHow did life begin, and what transformed primitive creatures into thinking, spiritual beings?In this fascinating episode of Urantia Radio, Jim Watkins explores the extraordinary story of evolution as presented in The Urantia Book—a sweeping account of life's emergence from the ancient oceans and its long journey toward human intelligence, self-awareness, and spiritual consciousness.Drawing from the book's remarkable descriptions of the Life Carriers and the evolutionary development of living organisms, we examine a provocative possibility: that evolution is more than a biological process. It is also the unfolding of mind, intelligence, and ultimately the capacity to know God.From the earliest marine organisms to the appearance of humanity's first truly intelligent ancestors, this episode explores the relationship between biological evolution and spiritual development, while considering where the Urantia account intersects with—and departs from—modern scientific understanding.Was human consciousness merely an accident of evolution, or was the emergence of intelligent life part of a much greater plan?Join us for an exploration of life's beginnings, the mystery of consciousness, and the extraordinary evolutionary journey that made human beings possible.Urantia Radio — Exploring the Fifth Epochal Revelation.#UrantiaRadio #UrantiaBook #Evolution #HumanOrigins #Consciousness #ScienceAndSpirituality #LifeCarriers

  The Love Of God 08.07.2026 10m
