Of Religion And Science |
Research History
I have studied a large number of languages throughout my life. My primary interest has been in analyzing and comparing the structure of language grammars. I began working on the theory presented here in 1994. Over this 20 year period, I have written a number of books on this evolving theory. It has taken almost 20 years of thought and effort for this theory to evolve into its present form. |
Dimensions of Time & Space The present research began in 1995 as an in-depth attempt to organize my understanding of the differences in the way that time is represented in the form of the verb among the various languages of the world that I had studied. In this book, the sounds and grammars of 26 language families of the world are investigated, and the languages of the world are traced back to a common origin in Africa. | ||
1st Edition: March, 1997 |
Dimensions Of Time & Space In 1997, my research took a major shift in focus as I attempted to probe deeply into the symbolism behind 5 Chinese characters, the characters that represent the first 5 numbers. What I discovered within these characters is a pattern, a cyclic pattern of 5 stages that we recognize as the cycle of evolution. My understanding of this pattern has evolved over the years. | ||

5th Edition: Still in Progress, Fall 2012 | ||
The 5th Edition adds a significant amount of new material, as well as presenting a greatly evolved understanding of previous material. Over the years, the book became extremely large and difficult to work with in a comprehensive manner. In the fall of 2012, I decided to focus on a more narrow range of topics of this book, in order to be able to deal with it more comprehensively. The first decision I had to make was which area to focus on first. I determined that there were 3 main choices. 1) I could focus on the evolution of the grammar of human language, 2) I could focus on the Dao, which is the Chinese model of nature that represents the Chinese understanding of the cycle of evolution (including such as Yin and Yang, the Ba-Gua, and the 5 Elements), or 3) I could focus on the evolution of the mental development of our species, including the evolution of religion and science. I chose to begin with the last of these. | ||
