THI KIYTo HUMAN ,SURVIVA

IF YOUand I were discussing the matter of what subject I should writea bout in this month 's Personal,and yo u should say, se riously,"Mr. Armstrong, in view of the 'deadly 'seriousness and the urgency of this time ,I think you should write on the mosturgent problem in all our lives right now- the question of whether, and how, wemay survive!",I would agree. The on e BtG QUESTION

in all our lives, rig ht now, is tha t ofhuman SURVtVAL!But I hasten to add, survival alone rs, NOTENOUGH! We must have survival in

PEACE; in ha ppiness, in joy , in prosperityand plenty , and in abundant well-beingforALL!And that's a pretty big order! If any -,one has the answer, fo r the sake of hu

manity he'd better speak out! I am'prepared to give the ANSWER - and it isgoing to be PLAIN SPEAKING, withoutpulling any punches!' It's 'time for PLAINSPEAKING! You are belling your life onsomeone coming up , in time, with the, right answer!To get 'to the crux of the p roblem

immediately, realize first that theseexisting conditions and evils are merelythe EFFECT! For every effect, there has tobe a CAUSE . Our problem of immediateurgency is to find the CAUSE, not only ofpresent evil conditions, but also of whatis the not-being-used CAUSE of peace,happiness, and abundant well-being!I f we are going to learn that CAUSE,we need , first to ask: What has made

MAN as he is? How did humanity cometo be on thisea rth? Or, going back evenfurther, how did the earth, itself, cometo be? 'That may seem likegoin g a long way

to tell the story of the origin of the earth/ and of mankind ,upon it. Yet is it notsignificant that their s tudies, the ories,and hypotheses fa il to tell us WHY man isas he is, or HOW he got that way, WHY,man seems always to be befudd led with ,unsolvable problems, WHY he is always 'in trouble, WHY humanity is harassedwith so many evils; and WHY these evilsa re fa st increasing?Th is is no light mailer. Ignoring humanity's present dilemma will not cause

it to go away. 'Human SURVIVAL hangsin the bal ance! We need the right an swer - and we need i t NOW!And we can know!

The Origin ofModem ScienceTh e fruit s of the speculative assertionsof science have not been peace , happi

ness, universal prosperity, and abundantwell-being. The world , instead, is SUFFERtNG! It is very sick!To come to a knowledge of the RIGHT '

ANSWER, we need to understand what is.w rong with the scientificmethod , WHYhave the findings of modem science NOTproduced peace and universal happ i-, ness? Wh at has been wrong with thescientific method?

The world has had science, of a kind ;for a very long t ime. But wha t we knowas MODERN SCIENCE began its dramaticrise roughly 170 years ago. Even then," th e new knowledge in the fields ofscience and technology developed veryslowly at first.

Until th is advent of modem science,the wor ld had gone along for thous andsof years vir tual ly on an even keel - withno mater ial progress to sp eak of. It wasprimarily an agricultural world, usingprimitive farming methods. The cast

vehi cles drawn by these animals. Bysea,it was by slow-moving sailboat. Fultondidn't invent the s teamboat until 1803.And the telephone, to provide commu-nication, did not arr ive until 1876. Thetelephone was in its in fancy when I wasa boy. ., In my own lifetime, we have whippedpast the machi ne age , the je t age , thenuclear age, and the space age. Much of-the acceleration of inventions was stimulated first by the p ri nt ing press, whichmade possible a greater diffusion ofknowledge, and exchange of ideas, andthen by more rap id mean s of transportation - .the steam eng ine, the steamboat, the automobile, the airplane. Andfinally, the telephone, telegraph, radio,TV .But what was the original impetus?Science to Solve Man'sProblems?With the emergence of "modernscience" around the beginning of the

the dawn of history -r- rejection of revelation as a sour ce of knowledge .and theuse of observation , experimentation,and human reason.So the product ion of KNOWLEDGE incre ased at a constantly acceleratingpace. The world's total fund of knowledge virtually doubled in the one decadeof the 1960's!But, paradoxically, as knowledge hasincreased, so have humanity 's problems,troubles and evils, at almost an eq ualrate of acceleration!

What's w rong with the dictum tha tknowledge is the sole need for solutio ns?We are face to face with the stern FACTthat incr easi ng evils have escalateda longside increasing knowledge! Th at isnot to say that the increased knowledgecaused the growing evils. It does meanth at the knowle dge produced did not -cure existing evils, or p revent new evils!The ANSWER becomes plain . Therewas something wrong ' with the knowl

edge being produced, or else the needed

It was as.improbable a sight as one could possibly imagine. ADutch inter-city train stopped dead in its tracks in the middle ofnowhere in central Netherlands. Aboard were a gang of terrorists,holding both crew and passengers hostage.Periodically, as the grim drama unfolded over internationaltelevision - and as many of you yourselves undoubtedly saw - thetrain hijackers would open a door in the lead car. Out wouldtumble another lifeless form, a human carcass, a gruesome sacrificeto the terrorists' demands for safe passage out of the country. Atthis point, the issue isstill unresolved.The perpetrators are part of a group of frustrated "freedomfighters" demanding independence for a homeland they have nevereven seen! Basically, the ironic story goes something like this: TheNetherlands granted independence to its 3,000-island Dutch EastIndies archipelago26 years ago. But 12,000 South Moluccan loyalists who had fought with the Dutch aga inst the Indones ian inde

pendence movement fled.to Holland to escape expected reprisal.The terrorists who commandee red the Dut ch t ra in - as well asfellow compatriots who lay siege to the Indonesian consulate inAmsterdam - were born in Holland to those original refugees, .With the precedent already set by nationalist terrorist groupsin other parts of the world - a bad example spreads instantaneously with television these. days - the murde rous MoluccansObviQuslyfelt it was their time toset history straight and grab.a few' ~ d l i n e s in order to publicize their own "just cause .;; " .. . , . .

The frequency and urgency with which this unsettling question isbeing discussed in scientific and political ci rcles is indicative of theunprecedented age in which we live.

WILL MANKIND SURVIVETHE 20 th CENTURY?Uncontrollable crises seem to be zeroing in on the peoples of the world .Dwindling food supplies, soaring populations, mass starvation, rampaging inflation, monetary chaos, energy crises,resource competition, political disarrayand ,paralysis, wars and threats of wars, 'arms races, nuclear proliferation, terror- .ism, ' soaring crime, m or al d ec ay ,weather upsets, pollution, and naturaldisasters all seem to .defy solutionby a ny th in g s ho rt of a new world

order.In the past , many of these problemsseemed to be unrela ted to ,each other.Now they form a p e rv e rs e , i nt e r-connecting web - the "solution" to anyone of them often compounding the se-, verity of several others.According to George Wald, a 1967N a u r e in p h y s i ~ l o g y and medicine: " It is a dreadful truth ; hard to livewith. . . . Human l ife is now threatened, as never before, notby one but by manyperils, each in itself capable of destroying us, but all interrelated, and all coming upon us together. I am one of thosescientists wh? does not see how ,to bring

the ,human race much past the year2000."Many find it difficult to consider thepossibility that mankindmay not makeit past ano ther generat ion. While religious prophetical ,warnings could bebrushed aside in the past , the proliferation of doomsday warnings from thesecular prophets of today strikes a hardblow to 20th cen tury man's professedcontrol of his destiny through modernscience, technology , and "advanced" social institutions.Th e voices of opt imism about man kind 's ability to solve his problems andguarantee his own survival ' are still,hea rd in political ,and scientific circles.But the voices are becoming much morereserved and quali fied. Science andtechnology alone, they say, cannot save us." Mankind ca n survive, they say. IF an d it's the most ,challenging (and tomany, ' unlikely.) "if" ,in the history ofmankind - there is a rapid, radicalc hange in the values and methods bywhich nat ions of the ear th l ive. Only ifnations throw aside their narrow nationalistic and ideologica l interests and

' peacefully and unuedly work togetherwith an international spirit of cooperation does mankind .h ave a hope of providing the essentials of a better life forall and stand a chance of avoiding acataclysmic-World War III.Past generations could, in one sense,"afford" disasters such .as war, economicdepression, starvation, weather upset ,disease epidemics or pollution. Thoughmillions suffered, much of humanity remained relatively unaffected .No more. The future - indeed, eventhe present - ,is lived on an interdependent planet.The overthrow of a government in aremo te Third World nation virtuallyguarantees the , involvement of majorpowers . Famines in overpopulated, underdeveloped countries 'stra in the re'sources of the few remaining food'exporting nations of the,world. Increasesin petro leum prices threaten the veryeconomic and political stability of theworld's industr ia l powers .

THE,GRIM .SPECTER OF"Mankind must put an end to war - or war will put an end to mankind.Together we shall save our planet - or togetherwe shall perish in its flames." _ President John F. Kennedy, 1961

Beyond Normal ComprehensionLiving with superweapons of mass destruction for over. 20 years has changedus. We have lost comprehension, in

human terms, of the dangerous times inwhich.we live. . .We could comprehend the largest prenuclear bomb of World War II, theblockbuster, that could level a whole cityblock. It contained 10 tons of TNT. Buthow does one comprehend the destructive force of a I megaton bomb (I m ill ion tons of TNT equivalent), or a 20megaton or 50 megaton weapon? Howdoes one grasp the fact that the power ofall the. conventional bombs exploded inWorld War IIcan becontained in one weapon carried in the bomb bay of one plane?

It is.senseless to debate whether mankind could be wiped out once, five or ahundred.times over in an all-out nuclearwar. Vfe know .every major city of themajor powers is already targeted withaweapon or weapons that could wipe itoff the map. .Gone are the days when it took a

One U.S. Poseidon submarinewith MIRV missiles can lob 160 warheads (each with times the destructive power of the Hiroshima bomb) attarge ts 3,000 miles away. Soviet landbased ICBMs , with 250 Hiroshima-typebombs each , can devastate cities onethird of the way around the world.Recently developed U.S. cruise missiles, l aunched from pl anes or .sub.marines, can virtually hug the treetopsto avoid detection and hit wi th in yardsof their pre-programmed targets.'The statist ics on overkil l are incomprehensible.

(The last figure,incidentally, is roughly equal to the entire income-of the poorer half of mankind.) Fully one quarter of the world'sscientific talent isdevoted to making theart of warfare more deadly and sophis.ticated . .In 1952, the nations of the world spent$300 million on Joreign purchases ofconventional weapons.

When Jesus Christ began hisministry, the time had come' to stripaway these sabbatical traditions of men.Jesus showed how ' the sabbath dayshouldbe kept to fulfill its fullestspiritual intent (Matt . 5:17; Isa. 42:21). Heremoved th e yoke of bondage that the, religionists had attached to the sabbath.But one point isclear : Jesus Christ didkeep the day itself. "And he [Jesus]came to Nazareth, where he had beenbrought up: and, .as his custom was, hewent into the synagogue onthe sabbathday , and stood up for to read" (Luk e4 : 16, KJV) . Notice verse 31: "A nd[Jesus] came down to Capernaum, a cityof Galilee, and taught them on the sab-bath days [plural] ."The New.Testament Sabbath Rest

There is biblical evidence ' that theearly New Testament church kept the,seventh-day sabbath (Acts 13:14-15, 4244; 15:1-2, 14-21; 16:12-15; 18:1-11;17:2, etc.). There are several verses(eight) that mention the first day of theweek, but they do not prove that thesabbath is transferred from Saturday toSunday. .A full exposition of these texts isavailab le upon request in our two freebooklets , Which Day Is the Sabbath ofthe New Testament? and The Resurrec-tion Was Not on Sunday.In the New Testament (as well as inthe Old),the ~ a b b i s more than "justanother day ." Tne' s 5 . o o a \ K 'has deep spiritual significance and symbolism in the New Testament era .. Perhaps the most importantin this regard 'are Hebrews-Land 4. 'Inthose critical chapters it comes clear that. the seventh-day sabbath is a type (orforerunner) Of the kingdom of God - ashadow of God 's eternal rest (see Col.2:16-17).Chapter three of Hebrews speaks of

fortunately men have sometimes madeit into precisely that. Such is the antithesis of God's thinking. He meant his restday to be an occasion for feasting and

placed it in the Decalogue, spoken byhis own voice and written by his ownfinger. I t is the fourth of the Ten Com- 'mandmen ts (the first four reveal howrnan is to worship his Creator), and abridge to the other six revealing the basic moral relationship between man andhis neighbor. ' , , ' :Here is the fourth commandment :"Remember the sabbath day, to keep itholy .. . . for in six days the Lord madeheaven and ear th , the sea, and all that isin .them, and rested the seventh day;, therefore the Lord blessed the sabbathday .a nd hallowed it" , (Ex. 20:8, II ,RSV). The Creator, here, does not institute the sabbath. The firs t word of thiscommandment is "remember." Incodifying the sabbath as an integral partof his basic moral law, the Crea tor reminds man once again of when (at creation) and why the seventh day wasgiven. '-The sabbath is not just any old day toGod "just like any other ." It shouldalso be a special day to man" bu t tragically for most it isnot.Man has been deceived into thinkingthat the seventh-day sabbath was designed to,be a ' "yoke of bondage." Un-

The word "sabbath" means "rest" inthe origina l Hebrew. Simple physicalrest and refreshment after a gruelingwork week is an obvious reason for thesabbath. But the true meaning and purpose of this God-ordained institutiongoes far beyond physical, men tal andperhaps even emotional respite. For theseventh day is inextricably interwoveninto God's transcendent purpose for creating man in the first place. 'Genesis 1:26 explains: "And Godsaid , Let us make man in our image ,after our likeness .. ." (KJV).
