Ask A Religious Scientist: How did it all begin?

What do you want to know about Religious Science? Revs. Joe and Toni Niemiec, New Thought ministers, are ready to answer your questions. Fill out the form below or .

By Joe Niemiec Jr. and Toni Niemiec

What is your religion’s take on the cosmos – how it all began?

We believe in a Creative Power which I call God.

We believe that creation is the result of this creative power, all creation is an emanation of this primal force and the “Bing Bang Theory” is as good an explanation as any as to how it happened.

We believe that all emanates from this one Source.

We believe that evolution is an ongoing process both in the spiritual and physical consciousness of humanity and all life.

The Rev. Joe Niemiec Jr. began his spiritual quest in 1986 when he walked out of a Houston jail and was struck by the realization that his life was in shambles. He began his quest for ‘getting back on track’ with 12 step programs, followed by learning and practicing meditation with a local Redding, California, teacher.

I hope you find the true and living WORD OF GOD. Your comment on evolution is not true and a true follower of JESUS would not agree to such a false theory. Look at the definition of entropy and you will see that mankind is not evolving but gradually fading to death. And if you say the big bang is that GOD spoke it and bang it happened then I am somewhat ok with that.

Not everyone believes the same and by current definition of Christianity you would not find me a “true follower of Jesus” and yet I have a rich spiritual life, in which I can honor your beliefs without making them my own.
One of the definitions of entropy is “the steady degradation or disorganization of a system or society”(Webster’s ninth Collegiate Dictionary), and I believe this is, in fact, what we are experiencing right now.
