Evidence Of Design

Evidence Of Design

Daniel J. Lavender

 

It is a rather common approach to explore molecular structure, to explore atomic systems in search of signs of a creator.  While this method is commendable and perhaps appropriate on certain levels it is not necessarily the absolute method.  Molecular structure, atomic systems are prevalent, they are common arrangements and occurrences of the world.

Perhaps what we should be searching for is more exotic, yet more obvious in the general scheme of things.  A coherent, interconnected sequence of signs directing us to a greater truth.

My name is Daniel J. Lavender.

What I am about to present appears to be beyond coincidence.  It appears, to me, to be evidence of design.  Especially considering the religious nature concerning some of the material.

First I believe to have discovered the symbolism contained within Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper artwork.  You may have seen The Da Vinci Code film or read Dan Brown’s novel.  Those works present misleading symbolism and ideas.  I believe to have actually decoded it.  I will attempt to embed the artwork image here:

Leonardo’s Last Supper is conveying the idea of unity and balance in all things.  The interesting thing, however, is the symbolism aligns with my initials, DJL (Daniel J. Lavender).  Dark (D) on the left, Jesus (J) in the center and Light (L) on the right.

Note apostles on the left side, the fire side, lean away from Jesus to avoid burns.  Apostles on the right side, the water side, lean in nearly on top of Jesus as the water poses no danger.  Also note the knife, Judas and the spilled container of salt on the left side signifying malice, destruction or bad luck, appropriately on the dark or negative side.  All significant details were retained in copies by Leonardo’s contemporaries Giampietrino and Andrea Solari.  That can’t be coincidental.

The other interesting detail is the artwork imagery lines up with symbolism derived from the mathematical integer line, as one can see the integer line superimposed upon Leonardo’s artwork.  I will attempt to embed the integer line image here:

No other has presented these details anywhere else.

The other staggering congruency concerns the state of Tennessee and its Grand Divisions (I was born in and have resided in East Tennessee my entire life).  The integer line, when superimposed upon Tennessee, coincides with both the division names and the particular geographies of each division.  I will attempt to embed the Tennessee image here:

It all aligns perfectly.  The Three Grand Divisions of Tennessee, Leonardo’s artwork and the integer line.  It seems beyond coincidence.  Another interesting detail is Leonardo’s work, or at least a work largely attributed to him and his contemporaries, the Salvator Mundi, was sold on my birthdate, November 15.  The Salvator Mundi garnered the highest price paid for any artwork in the world to date.

However there is more to the story.  I will share below a text detailing the rest.  I assure you it is all true.

If for any reason the embedded images do not appear refer to this Youtube video which includes all relevant images:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivwDTHG1FG8

The significance should be self evident.

 

Further text:

The following collection of "coincidences" appear, at least to me, to signify some structure, a coherent, connected pattern in our world alluding to something greater. A superior, creative intelligence responsible for such structure and design. Only a higher intelligence could be held responsible for such a pattern spanning thousands of years involving numerous facets of our world including art, music, literature, religion, celestial events, geography, locations, names, etcetera. This is what I believe could only be a testament to or revelation of God or superior intelligence.

I was born Daniel Jeremy Lavender in Oak Ridge, East Tennessee, eastern United States on November 15, 1984. Proceeding birth I was taken to Kingston, Tennessee, where I lived and was raised until age 19. Kingston (Kings Town) was my hometown. Christ is king, and Christ was said to have come from the east (Matthew 24:27).

My father's name is David. (Mitchell David, although he goes by David.) Jesus Christ is said to be the son of David (Matthew 1:1, Matthew 9:27).

The name Daniel translates to the words "God" and "judge". The Second Coming signifies Judgement Day, in which Christ is to judge the living and the dead (1 Corinthians 4:5, 2 Corinthians 5:10, 2 Timothy 4:1, Revelation 20:11-15).

Lavender is the color purple, a flower, an essential oil, and can also be used as anointing oil. Christ is said to be the anointed. Christ also had a purple robe placed upon him at the crucifixion (Mark 15:17, John 19:5). The name Lavender, which is purple, was placed upon me by others, not by myself, and has been upon me since birth through lineage. Lavender, the plant, represents life. Lavender, the plant, also comes back in season. Lavender also includes the terms "end" and "ender", as in End Times and "I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End" (Revelation 22:13).

Matthew 24:29-30 states: "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." (This is repeated in Mark 13:24-26.)

The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the U.S., along with the subsequent conflicts and global hysteria, could be considered the tribulation of those days.

On August 21, 2017 the Great American Eclipse occurred. This was a total solar eclipse which just so happened to occur directly above my hometown, and also my nearby residence at the time of Kingston, Tennessee. The sun was darkened and the moon gave no light as it couldn't adequately reflect light from its position. There was also a blood moon in 2015.

In 2009 I wrote and recorded a hip hop record under the moniker Jeremy Peril with lyrics which, unknown to me at the time, referenced future celestial events also depicted in the Bible. The record "Grey Area" (featuring Alan Wells/Wellington), hosted on the SoundClick media website from 2009 to roughly 2020, included a verse and chorus written, recorded and produced by myself with the lyrics "it's your boy JP", "...tonight...go look outside and you'll see, the stars, the moon, the beautiful sky", "realign, become divine with the power that's mine", and "it's the shorter grey existence from the outer distance".

On December 21, 2020, the Great Conjunction occurred. This was an alignment of the planets Jupiter and Saturn ("realign, become divine with the power that's mine"). It occurred on the longest night and the shortest day of the year ("shorter grey"/shortest day). As alluded in both the Bible ("then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven... they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory") and the "Grey Area" record ("tonight... go look outside and you'll see", "realign, become divine with the power that's mine") the celestial, or heavenly bodies realigned. This could be viewed as the heavenly sign of the Son of Man. In addition the "Grey Area" track, which essentially announces or declares the event, was and is stored on and accessed via the cloud, or the internet network database. All other relevant material, including this text, are stored on and accessed via the cloud as well.

Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper", circa 1490, is one of the world's most famous paintings. It has been widely speculated that hidden symbolism or references appear in the painting. As stated I believe to have decoded it. Oddly enough, and certainly by coincidence, my initials, DJL, line up perfectly with elements and symbolism within the painting. "D", for darkness on the left, "J" for Jesus in the middle, and "L" for light on the right. One can research and discover all the fine details, as the darkened walls to the left and the lighter walls to the right, are retained in copies by contemporary artists such as Giampietrino and Andrea Solari for purposes of interpretation. Additionally Jesus wears a red and blue robe in the painting, and red and blue mixed together creates purple, or lavender which is a shade of purple. The prevailing message of the painting is unity and balance in all things. If that isn't enough, the bestseller "The da Vinci Code", written by author Daniel Brown, claims to reveal the hidden symbolism in the painting. It is obviously wrong as the true symbolism has been revealed above. This, too, relates back to the "Grey Area" hip hop record which states "leave the sh-t (Brown) and lies behind (false da Vinci symbolism/narrative)". All of which was unknown to me at the time. Symbolically speaking Daniel Brown, or at least his material and perspective, is sh-t and lies while Daniel Lavender is light and truth.

In addition I also wrote prose poetry from 2012 to 2013, including one poem entitled "Watch" (from djloriginalliterature.txt):

"Watch them be a little social

Watch them gain some popularity

Watch them rise in the ranks

Watch them charismatic surfers

Watch them cut through the waves

Watch them rise to the crest

Watch them above you

Watch them watch you

Just watch"

When writing I was thinking of politicians, specifically corrupt, greedy politicians fighting for positions of power over others. In hindsight it described almost perfectly actual future events. I wrote essays and participated in online debates and discussions using my real name, some of which became quite ugly. Those events along with other occurences triggered reactions in the community in which I was driven from the community to another. I had to scramble to find residence in early 2020 during the pandemic and, without knowing the location or street name, just happened to acquire a rental house on Stonecrest Lane ("rise to the crest") in La Follette, Campbell County, Tennessee, north ("rise to", "above you") of my former residence of Kingston/Harriman, Roane County, Tennessee. I did not know the area; I discovered an ad for the rental in a newspaper with no street name listed and had to follow the owner to the rental property location.

Another important point to mention is that I had been arrested in 2015 and had possession of a flash memory drive which contained text files including my poetry and original literature texts. I communicated to the authorities (arresting officer B. Luttrell, Kingston, TN) that I wanted them to examine the contents of the memory drive. The poem "Watch" was on the memory drive for them to read. It's as if it was intended to occur, almost like a taunt. The other incredible detail is that at Stonecrest Lane in the year 2020 the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn occurred as referenced previously. It occurred December 21, 2020 while I resided at Stonecrest Lane. Incredibly a neighbor, living one house down on Stonecrest Lane, had the birthdate December 21, the day of the Conjunction. Her name was Rachel Carroll, and she had a son named Joseph just as in the Bible. Additionally the Great Conjunction's timing was so close to Christmas it was dubbed the "Christmas Star" and even the "Star of Bethlehem".

Coincidences are coincidences. But at some point too many coincidences become a pattern. It's as if it was all intended, an intentional pattern relating thousands of years back to Biblical times and scripture. In my mind there is no way any group of humans could intentionally create such an elaborate, intricate, interconnected pattern of events and details spanning such a period of time. It must be the work of superior intelligence.

There is perhaps no feasible way for the higher intelligence to peek through the clouds, so to speak, and communicate with us. It would be disproportional. Like a human trying to touch or communicate with a single electron. So the higher intelligence would have to embed signs, the higher intelligence would have to relay signals in our world on our level to reveal its presence.

The plural of “anecdote” is not “evidence”

What you’ve presented is confirmation bias - you notice the coincidences, and ignore whatever doesn’t fit the pattern.

At a certain point too many coincidences become a pattern.  An intentional sequence.

How many coincidences would that be?  Two?  Three?  Four?  Five? Twenty?

How many have been listed above?

It isn’t simply the sheer number of coincidences, either.

It is the significance of the parallels.  Many coincide with scripture.

Such celestial events are a big deal.  And they actually occurred where and when they occurred as can be verified by anyone.

These are not fantasies I have contrived in my head.

Please think about your use of the word coincidence.

All that it means is that wo or more things happen in the same place and/or at the same time.

Since there are billions upon billions of things happening at the same time and or place at every time and place and each and every one of them is a coincidence there is nothing special about this.

That is part of the definition, yes.

As observed in the basis of the term: coincidences coincide.  They correspond with other things.

These are not silly little coincidences like “the license plate number had the same digits as my phone number”.

These are rather significant signs corresponding with Biblical scripture and much more.

Which means we use scientific definitions where appropriate.

And that does not include correspondence, which is another concept with a special scientific meaning.

 

If you wish to promote mystic woo then I suggest a religous site, rather than coming here and calling another members comments silly.

[mistermack]

It's easy to dismiss the rambling OP, but I've seen real scientists fooled by the argument-from-coincidence. 

For example, the whole "aquatic ape" idea has been pushed using that method, and put across by a skilful writer, it convinced a lot of people who should really have known better. 

And it's still going on. In talk about the climate today, you constantly hear media people treating any drought as confirmation, as well as floods etc. Even when the flood disaster is clearly caused by breaking dams. 

If you can clearly establish cause and effect in a scientific way, subjecting every unproven claim to extreme scepticism, then there's no harm in pointing to where the predictions are not contradicted by real life evidence. So long as you're not selective in collecting and presenting the evidence.

Because selective evidence-gathering and stretching of dubious links can be used to argue practically anything, as shown in the OP.

Birthday probabilities tell us you only need a sample of 23 people before the odds of two of them having the same birthday exceed 50%. And OMG, a son named Joseph? Something like 3% of American men are named Joseph.

If you are arguing for design, then everything needs to fit the pattern. Twenty isn’t even a drop in the bucket.

But if you’ve already decided that this is the case, one is probably enough - but don’t be fooled into thinking that this is evidence. It’s credulity. The bar for science is much, much higher.

[mistermack]

If you find coincidences persuasive, you should read up on the "Lost tomb of Jesus", a burial cave in Talpiot, Israel. 

It's full of "coincidences" that indicate that it's the family tomb of Jesus, and that he didn't rise from the dead, he's been dead and buried for 2,000 years in the suburbs of Jerusalem. Experts say 'Jesus tomb' is a fantasy › Analysis (ABC Science)    

"Five of the 10 boxes in the tomb are inscribed with names that they say refer to key biblical figures: Jesus, Mary, Matthew, Joseph and Mary Magdalene. A sixth inscription, written in Aramaic, translates to 'Judah son of Jesus'.

Another limestone burial box is labelled in Aramaic with 'Jesus son of Joseph'; another bears the Hebrew inscription 'Maria', a Latin version of 'Miriam', or in English 'Mary'. Yet another ossuary inscription, written in Hebrew, reads 'Matia', the original Hebrew word for 'Matthew'.  

Only one of the inscriptions is written in Greek. It reads, 'Mariamene e Mara', which can be translated as 'Mary known as the master', the documentary says."

I realize this is a science forum.

Not only are many going to approach this subject with bias, some are going to approach it with sheer terror that the idea of a creator may actually be true.  Especially the creator depicted in Abrahamic texts.

The implications are unsettling for many.  As they should be.

It should say more about such individuals than the actual possibility of a creator being true.

I did not refer to your statements as being silly.  I referred to that particular example in my own statement as “silly”.

How does this have any bearing on the alleged design of an alleged creator? You do understand the da Vinci didn’t actually witness the last supper (painted just before 1500). How can the symbolism in it mean anything relevant?

And Tennessee? Which only came into being a few hundred years after da Vinci?

A pattern is not evidence of intent. Consider the action of wind blowing across sand (beach, desert etc) - the motion of individual grains of sand is chaotic and cannot be predicted past the characteristic Lyapunov time of that system, yet after a while a well-ordered wave pattern emerges on large scales from the chaotic motion of many billion grains of sand. No intentional creator is required for this. And that’s just one random example.

For those unwilling to accept no amount of evidence would suffice.  They would deny the truth with the truth right in front of them.  These are the same individuals who succumb to the whims and demands of men, of tyrants, of petty corporations and their petty products.
