Saying that science is limited to the study of the 5% of the universe universe that is visible to us, and only a sliver of that is within the range we can see doesn't discredit anything, it just shows how limited science really is. Near death experiences correlate almost exactly with what we know of dark energy. Dark energy is everywhere, and moves the universe. You may not understand that, but it is still true. And by the way, the truth never grows old.

Of course this is about respect. The problem with people that think they have all the answers is that they stop asking questions. The real question is not how life originated, but what we do with it. If you treat others with respect, and make an effort to make the world a better place for all of us, you will have made the right choice whether there is a God or not.

It seems that dark energy is the energy of every point in space. It is not at all random. Of course before there was something, there was nothing. In a vacuum virtual particles appear for an instant and then recombine into nothingness again. If two sets of virtual particles happened to collide with two of the opposite particles uniting, it would leave the other halves still existing. It would take countless eons for these particles to form a large mass, but time is only relevant if someone is waiting for something. We have no idea how dark energy came into bring, because we can't observe it, but we do know that it is responsible for the accelerating expanse of the universe. If God didn't create the particles of the universe, it begs the question, did Leonardo da Vinci create the Mona Lisa, or did he just rearrange already existing paint on an already existing canvas?

The general consensus is that life originated in the 5% of the universe that we can see. I find this unlikely. I think that it is more likely that it originated in the 68% of the universe that we call dark energy. All the matter of the observable universe was contained for billions of years in a very small object, believed to be smaller than a single atom. After the big bang it took billions of years for the matter to cool enough to the atoms that are the building blocks all we see. It is only recently that stars and planets formed that are conducive to life. Dark matter on the other hand is believed to be evenly distributed throughout the universe, and stable. If we assume for the sake of argument that man’s spirit is made of dark energy, the bible tells us in Genesis 2:7 then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. Ecclesiastes 12:7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6172100/ If we assume that near death experiences are events where the spirit left the body, then being able to see their bodies from an outside perspective tells us that even though we can’t see dark energy, it can see us. Also the spirit has energy to move, but is virtually unaffected by gravity. Approaching a light, and being greeted by deceased loved ones shows us that life continues after the body dies.

It is also a transfer of power. Governments used to be there to build infrastructure, that needed to be provided collectively, fight crime, secure our borders and provide education and health care. Increasingly they are now into social engineering. They want to make the world into what they know it should be, so they need to change us into the people they know we should be. Wealth is power, and they need a larger share of our wealth, to make us the people we should be.

Invisible does not imply magic. In fact most of the universe is invisible to us. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_energy Dark energy is thought to be very homogeneous and not very dense, and is not known to interact through any of the fundamental forces other than gravity. Since it is quite rarefied and un-massive—roughly 10−27 kg/m3—it is unlikely to be detectable in laboratory experiments. The reason dark energy can have such a profound effect on the universe, making up 68% of universal density in spite of being so dilute, is that it uniformly fills otherwise empty space. Dark energy is thought to be very homogeneous and not very dense, and is not known to interact through any of the fundamental forces other than gravity. Since it is quite rarefied and un-massive—roughly 10−27 kg/m3—it is unlikely to be detectable in laboratory experiments. https://science.nasa.gov/astrophysics/focus-areas/what-is-dark-energy It turns out that roughly 68% of the universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27%. The rest - everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter - adds up to less than 5% of the universe. You can bury your head in the sand, and convince yourself that what you can't see won't hurt you, but what we can't see, is very real, and all around us.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6172100/ It seems that old paintings don’t figure in to them all that much. It seems to be more about leaving a dying body, a sense of wellbeing and being free of physical restraints. The blind can see, they can travel at will, free from gravity, see from a perspective outside their body. They see a light, approach it, and are greeted by departed loved ones, and are often given a choice to return to the body, or enter into the light.

People who have returned from the other side believe otherwise.

Justin could have listened to his finance minister Bill Morneau, one of the most respected money managers in the country, when he told that we needed to manage the economy rationally. Instead he refused to answer his calls and replaced him with a former journalist, and raided the piggy bank.

They have their own economic problems, but Justin might fit right in.

If you want to emulate the Americans, maybe we should build an aircraft carrier the size of a city, create a nuclear arsenal and invade Iraq.

Smart economics is using good times to build your economy to prepare for hard times. Even a squirrel knows to store nuts for the winter.

The Trudeau government's spending was out of control before they imposed the restrictions. Everybody is doing it is no excuse for fiscal mismanagement.

https://torontosun.com/opinion/goldstein-trudeaus-runaway-spending-hiked-canadas-debt-160-billion-before-pandemic-hit-report When the COVID-19 pandemic hit Canada in March 2020, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau boasted his prudent management of federal spending since taking office in 2015 meant the government had the “fiscal firepower” to weather the coming economic storm. But a new study by the fiscally-conservative Fraser Institute — released Tuesday — says runaway spending by the Trudeau government before the pandemic hit added as much as $160 billion to Canada’s public debt, making it much harder to recover from the economic devastation it has caused going forward. “Additional spending by the federal government in the years leading up to COVID-19 … left the country in worse fiscal shape to deal with the pandemic,” said study co-author Tegan Hill in the report, Ottawa’s Pattern of Excessive Spending and Persistent Deficits. “Generations of Canadians will be paying for Ottawa’s high spending and additional debt, a situation that was exacerbated, but not caused, by the COVID-19 pandemic.” The study found between the fiscal years 2015-16 and 2019-20, the Trudeau government ran consecutive deficits, causing the federal debt to rise by $112.2 billion. During that period, the government increased spending by 36.1%, up from $248.7 billion in 2014-15 (the year before Trudeau came to power) to $338.5 billion in 2019-20, exceeding the growth rate of government revenues. The report says if the Trudeau government had moderated its spending from 2015 to 2019 — before the pandemic hit in March 2020 — to the rate of inflation plus population growth, or the rate of nominal GDP growth, it “would have recorded surpluses nearly every year over the period and avoided taking on approximately $150 billion to $160 billion in debt.” Instead, the Trudeau government increased average annual spending by 6.4%, more than double the average annual rate of inflation plus population growth at 2.9%, and nominal GDP growth of 3% annually. “That led to persistent budget deficits and debt accumulation before COVID-19,” the study says. During the 2015 federal election that brought him to power, Trudeau promised three years of “modest deficits” — $9.9 billion in 2016, $9.5 billion in 2017, $5.7 billion in 2018 — and a balanced budget with a $1 billion surplus in 2019. Instead, he delivered annual deficits of $19 billion in both 2016 and 2017, $14 billion in 2018 and $39.4 billion in 2019 — all before the pandemic hit in early 2020. Today, the Trudeau government no longer gives any date for eliminating the federal deficit the prime minister originally said would be gone by 2019-20, with a $1 billion surplus in that year. Because of new spending during the pandemic, the Trudeau government now pegs the federal deficit at $327.7 billion for 2020-21; $144.5 billion for the 2021-22 fiscal year which ends March 31; $58.4 billion in 2022-23; $43.9 billion in 2023-24; $29.1 billion in 2024-25; $22.7 billion in 2025-26 and $13.1 billion in 2026-27. Canada’s combined federal debt — the total of all previous deficits plus interest — went over $1 trillion for the first time in 2020-21 during the first year of the pandemic and is now projected to increase to $1.36 trillion by 2026-27. “The COVID-19 pandemic has no doubt worsened Ottawa’s fiscal challenges, but it did not create them,” said study co-author Jake Fuss. “Imprudent spending by the federal government in the years leading up to COVID-19 added billions in debt before the pandemic struck.” Trudeau is definitely a menace to Canada's future, sorry you napped through all that.

Justin Trudeau massively increased the money supply while in concert with others put in place restrictions that crippled the economy, which decreased G.D.P. (goods and services generated by the Canadian economy). More money, and less to buy with it means inflation. This is in Canadian control, because we elected the problem.
