At the cutting-edge of "this world�s" scientific
knowledge, we will find the divine truths in the teachings of the
Honorable Elijah Muhammad. The reality of the above statement is
constantly being revealed by recent discoveries in the fields of
Astronomy, Archeology, Genetics and Biology; and nowhere has this
reality been more evident than in the scientific data that have come
from NASA�s Mars space probes in recent years.
Astonishing photographic data from NASA�s Viking and
Mars Surveyor space probes�which show what appears to be artificial,
intelligently-designed structures (including a Martian sphinx-like face,
massive pyramids, a city complex and underground glass tunnels) in the
region of Mars known as Cydonia, and elsewhere on that planet�confirms
the revelations and prophecies of the Hon. Elijah Muhammad about what
the scientists of this world would find once they were allowed a peek
into the heavens.
Some of you reading this article who may not be familiar
with this subject matter may be saying to yourselves things like: "come
on!" "Are you kidding?" "Why haven�t I heard about this story? Can this
be real?"
The story of discovered artifacts on Mars has been
circulating in scientific literature for over two decades. This subject
has sparked a raging debate in the scientific community because of its
potentially explosive, philosophical, political, religious and national
security implications, which is why an information blanket has been
imposed on this issue in the "mainstream" media.
Certain aspects of this story have been leaked out into
the mainstream culture by individuals in the Hollywood establishment who
are aware of its magnitude, and who wish to see it revealed to the
American public. The X-Files television program and the recent movie
"Mission to Mars" have revealed aspects of this story in a more or less
science fiction format.
The vast majority of people who viewed "Mission to Mars"
left the theater not realizing that the area called Cydonia, with its
giant, face-like structure that was depicted in the film, did not come
out of the mind of some science-fiction writer, but is an actual place
that exists on Mars!
From the moment pictures of the Cydonia region of Mars
were taken by NASA�s Viking space probe in 1976, some scientists in the
space agency have attempted to pursue the scientific implications of
this discovery and reveal them to the public, while other scientists,
for reasons related to politics, religion or national security, have
attempted to dismiss or cover-up this discovery.
There is no doubt that the discovery of civilization on
the Red Planet would have profound political, philosophical, and most
importantly, religious implications for the scientists and theologians
of this world; for it would scientifically confirm the reality and
knowledge of God, as presented in the teachings of the Most Honorable
Elijah Muhammad!
Whenever we are fully exposed to the teachings of the
Honorable Elijah Muhammad, we are automatically confronted with a choice
between two models of reality. The first model asserts that the
Honorable Elijah Muhammad actually met with and was taught by God, in
the person of Master Fard Muhammad, and over a period of three years was
given divine revelation and prophesy from the Lord Of The Worlds. Or, we
can accept the second model, which asserts that the Honorable Elijah
Muhammad lied to us, or himself was lied to or misled by his teacher, in
which case, we can dismiss what he taught and end this entire
discussion.
If we accept the first model as the true reality, the
question becomes, can we actually prove it?
In the book, "The Religion Of Islam," Islamic scholar
Maulana Muhammad Ali concludes that true prophecy from a "divine" source
must fulfill three pre-conditions in order for us to know that it is
real and from Allah (God). The first pre-condition, according to Maulana
Muhammad Ali, is that it must "disclose some event which is beyond the
scope of human knowledge and which cannot possibly be discovered by
human foresight." The second pre-condition is, "it must also be
connected with some deep divine purpose in relation to the elevation of
humanity." And the third pre-condition for divine prophecy is that, "it
must have behind it the force of conviction, so that it is not only
uttered with the utmost certainty, but even in circumstances which
apparently conflict with what is disclosed in the prophecy."
For the purposes of this article, let us look at what
the Honorable Elijah Muhammad revealed, from his teacher, about what is
on Mars and what the scientists would find there, to see if it fulfills
the three pre-conditions for divine prophecy mentioned above.
Pre-condition No. 1
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, in his 1972 "Theology Of
Time" lecture series, gives us a precise description of the life the
scientists would find on Mars, along with the nature of their
civilization. In the "Theology Of Time," the Hon. Elijah Muhammad states
concerning Mars and its life; "It�s our Mars and our people (meaning
original) so God taught me." He goes on to say, "Our Fathers made it
(Mars) with some type of intelligent beings like ourselves. They are not
animals. They are intelligent people. ...They show signs of civilization
and they look something similar to us. Not exactly, but they look
similar. They walk on two feet and they are not White folks."
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught that his teacher,
Master Fard Muhammad, revealed these things to him in the 1930s, nearly
70 years ago. Now, let us compare what was revealed to the Hon. Elijah
Muhammad with what has been discovered by recent space probes to the
planet Mars.
Angstrom Science Award winning author, Richard C.
Hoagland, in his groundbreaking book, "The Monuments Of Mars, A City
On The Edge Of Forever," covers in great detail the chronology,
scientific analysis, and the hidden politics surrounding the discovery
by this world�s scientists of intelligently designed structures in the
region of Mars known as Cydonia.
As previously stated, these structures include what
appears to be giant Neolithic (stone) monuments, such as pyramids, a
sphinx-like face, and a city complex that Hoagland and many other
scientists have studied and documented. In his book, Hoagland reveals
how he and U.S. Defense Mapping Agency cartographer Erol Torun
discovered two redundant mathematical codes in the geometric
configurations of the Cydonia monuments. One of these mathematical codes
also has been found, according to Hoagland, in the geometry of the
monuments built by our forefathers on the Giza plateau in Egypt!
The second mathematical code that appears with
redundancy is the geometric coordinate 19.47, or rounded off to its
nearest whole number, 19! This number has great significance in the
mathematical decoding of the Holy Qur�an, and the lessons that were
given to us from Master Fard Muhammad. (Please reference "The Comer By
Night" by Mother Tynnetta Muhammad for more information on this
subject.)
The description of the inhabitants of Mars given to us
by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad matches precisely what scientists have
found. For instance, the Hon. Elijah Muhammad describes the life on Mars
as "people," meaning humanoid. The photographs of Cydonia taken by the
Mars space probes show a humanoid face-like structure in that region.
The Hon. Elijah Muhammad also states that they are "our people," meaning
original people. As stated earlier, the monuments on Mars are massive
neolithic structures (including pyramids). In the history of the Earth,
it has been documented that the only people known to built massive
neolithic pyramid structures are the original peoples of the Earth�in
Africa, Asia, and the Americas. If this is true in the history of the
Earth, it would stand to reason that the same would be true on Mars!
Nowhere in the history of the last 6,000 years can it be
said that an individual has precisely predicted what would be discovered
of life on another planet before the actual discovery of that life thru
scientific investigation. But this is exactly what the Hon. Elijah
Muhammad has done! It can be said that the Holy Qur�an makes a general
assertion about the existence of life in the cosmos, but nowhere, and at
no time, has there ever been a specific, precise description of life on
another world predicted before the development of the science to confirm
it! The disclosure of this reality is not only beyond the scope of human
knowledge and foresight, but could only have come from God himself!
Pre-condition No. 2
The second pre-condition of divine prophecy, that it
must be "connected with some deep divine purpose in relationship to the
elevation of humanity," is so self-evident in the Hon. Elijah Muhammad�s
words concerning life on Mars that there is not enough space here to
articulate it. The fact that a precise prediction about life on another
planet, that was placed there by "Our Fathers," was made by the
Honorable Elijah Muhammad, a man with a 4th grade education, has
profound implications concerning the teacher who taught him, the
god-potential in the nature of man and our true history on this planet
and in the cosmos.
Pre-condition No. 3
The third and last pre-condition is fulfilled by the
boldness in which the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught what was revealed
to him for over 40 years in the face of ridicule and preliminary
scientific data from early Mars space probes which suggested that Mars
was a dead planet, with no possibility of life, not unlike the Moon. He
steadfastly continued to teach what was revealed to him, until the
science of "this world" had advanced to a level where it could
scientifically and mathematically confirm what God had shown him.
The question of credibility
When an assertion as incredible as the existence of a
civilization on the planet Mars is made, automatically the question of
scientific credibility is raised. Because this subject matter is so
outside mainstream thought and experience, it demands the most rigorous
scientific verification possible to insure that it is not viewed as some
lunatic-fringe pseudo-science.
One way to discern what is a scientific reality from
what is a un-scientific assertion based on pseudo-science is the quality
of scientific investigation and scholarship involved in its
confirmation. To insure that the assertion of a discovery of signs of
civilization on the planet Mars is viewed in its proper scientific
light, it may be important at this time to briefly overview the level of
scientific expertise involved in its investigation and confirmation.
As mentioned above, Richard C. Hoagland, author of
"The Monuments of Mars," is an Angstrom Science Award winner for his
research into "hyper-dimensional" physics. Hoagland also has served as
space-science consultant for NBC and CBS, the television networks. He
also served as a consultant to NASA and the Goddard Space Center, among
other accomplishments.
In 1981 Mr. Hoagland became science advisor to CNN in
New York, and also served as the editor-in-chief of Star and Sky
magazine, one of the most respected publications in the field of
Astronomy. Presently, Mr. Hoagland serves as the head of the Enterprise
Mission investigative group, that has been in the forefront of studies
involving the possibility of artificial structures on Mars, and
elsewhere in the Solar System.
Other scientists and researchers who, through their own
independent investigation and studies, have concluded that artificial,
intelligently-designed structures exist on Mars, include:
-
Dr. Mark Carlotto, a computer-optics scientist with
the Analytic Sciences Corporation. Dr. Carlotto produced a mathematical
3-D optical analysis of the Face on Mars that made the cover of the
prestigious Applied Optics Science Journal, in May of 1988. Dr.
Carlotto�s analysis showed that the Face was not caused by some trick of
light and shadow, but was a true "visual impression of a face."
-
Dr. Tom Van Flandern, the former head of the Celestial
Mechanics Branch of the U.S. Naval Observatory (Department of the Navy),
and one of the most accomplished astronomers in the field. During the
recent April 5 press conference at the National Press Club in Washington
D.C., he stated that based on photos taken of the Cydonia region of Mars
by the Mars Surveyor spacecraft, there is only a 100 Billion,
Billion-to-one chance that the Face on Mars and its surrounding
structures are not intelligently designed artifacts!
-
Ronald R. Nicks and James Erjavee, two highly
respected engineering geologists, who did the first in-depth geological
study of the Cydonia region, concluded that the features in the Cydonia
region demand more than a simple geological explanation for their
existence, and may be the result of some form of engineering.
-
Arthur C. Clarke, one of the most respected elder
statesmen in the scientific community and author of the classic, "2001,
A Space Odyssey." Mr. Clarke, among his many achievements, is the
conceptual genius behind what is known in the space-science community as
the "Clarke Belt," the area in Earth�s orbit at about 22,300 miles where
satellites orbit for the purpose of observation and communications
satellites. Mr. Clarke, in a Feb. 25th, 2001 interview for Space.com, is
quoted as saying�after reviewing recent photos from the Mars Surveyor
spacecraft showing what appears to be giant glass tunnels on the surface
on Mars�"I am fairly convinced that we have discovered life on Mars."
The research and testimony of Arthur C. Clarke and
numerous other scientists and scholars adds enough scientific weight and
legitimacy to the assertion that signs of civilization have been
discovered on the surface of Mars; and also bears witness to what the
Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught about that planet for over 40 years.
On page 460 of Richard C. Hoagland�s book, "Monuments
of Mars," he describes a statistical study done by Dr. Horace
Crater, a physicist at the space institute of the University of
Tennessee, on the monuments found in the Cydonia region. The result of
this statistical analysis revealed that the mathematical odds against
the structures at Cydonia being the result of "randon geology," was " 1
chance in 2 quintillion, 330 quaddrillion!" Or in everyday layman�s
terms: There is a snowball�s chance in hell that the monuments on Mars
are not made by intelligent life forms!
