| | Divine Principle and the Second Advent |
 | | Divine Principle is the 536-page 8220;Bible&; of the Unification Church, consisting of the revelation which Sun Myung Moon has transcribed for his followers and constituting the theological basis of the movement. |  | | Divine Principle often sounds as though it is expounding a historical-critical approach to the Bible, but its own exegesis alternates between a more-than-strict literalism and an unfettered allegorizing. |  | | The prophets, interestingly enough, are not in evidence in Divine Principle. |

| | Barrow and Tipler on the Anthropic Principle vs. Divine Design |
 | | According to their analysis, the Anthropic Principle evolved out of the traditional design argument for God's existence, particularly one version of that argument, the eutaxiological version, which was based on the presence of discernable order and mutual harmony in nature in abstraction from any anthropocentric purpose being in view. |  | | In their massive study The Anthropic Cosmological Principle, [1986]{1} John Barrow and Frank Tipler provide the most comprehensive analysis to date of the so-called Anthropic Principle and its relation to the classic teleological argument for a Divine Designer of the cosmos. |  | | Their misgivings about the alternative of divine design are shown to be of little significance. |

 | | Divine Science has come to emphasize the fact that in order to know God aright we must study, and meditate upon the essential Characteristics of deity. |  | | So Jesus interpreted the will of God according to divine Principle, and not according to the Jehovistic idea of God. |  | | It is very evident that we have not known God aright, because we have not only not entered into Life eternal, but we have not enjoyed the peace and poise and power and prosperity to which we are told the "sons and daughters of God" are so richly entitled. |
