III The Eight Logical Inferences that Prove
the Existence of the Greatest Creator

1．Everything has a source—and the source is the Greatest Creator


The Amazon that runs across South America, the bold and flowing Nile, the surging Yangtze, and the roaring Mississippi—all have their headstreams. Benguela Cold Current, Peru Cold Current, Mozambique Warm Current, and Guyana Warm Current all have their sources. Rio de Janeiro-London airline, Los Angeles-Paris airline, Honolulu-Manila airline, and Paris-Colombo airline all have their starting points.

All things created by man have come into being from a certain source;all tools that we use, including pencils, needles, spades, spoons, pliers, automobiles, computers, printers, cameras, and machine tools; and all daily articles, including musical instruments, chess, painting and calligraphy, watches, alarm clocks, desks, chairs, and wooden stool, shoes, stockings, clothes, caps, cups, thermoses, reading lamps, telephones, and refrigerators and TV sets have an origin, and obviously they don’t come from none.

The cats, dogs, goats, and pigs we raise at home all have an origin. Even peony, peaches, pears, and almonds can be traced back to their origins.

Music, characters, arts, medicines, theories, methods, magic arts and alchemy, axioms and theorems all have a source.
White Europeans, black African, yellow Asian, Arabians, and Brazilians are all descendents of their ancestors.

The towering Himalayas, the fertile and vast Nile delta, the extensive Amazon alluvial plain, the silver and white wrapped Antarctica—all have formed from earth transition.

Everything has its origin. What about the earth, the solar system, and the universe? They all have their origins.
Since everything has an origin, there must be a primordial origin. And this primordial origin is the Greatest Creator.

2．Everything is in motion, and the primordial motive power comes from the Greatest Creator

The mountains are revolving; the wind is roaring; the river is flowing and the springs are welling; the clouds are drifting; the earth is shaking; the ocean is surging, and the flames are raging;The plants are growing and the flowers are fading, the bacteria are multiplying and the insects are bustling, cattle and goats are grazing and the lions and tigers are running, the hens are laying eggs and the larks are singing; The electrons are spinning and the molecules are moving, the particles are discharging and electric waves are rushing, infrareds are radiating and Gama rays are thrusting, electromagnetic waves and photons are flashing;The heart is pounding and the blood is circulating, the skin is breathing and the stomach is wriggling, the nerves are sensing and the hair is growing, the thinking is connecting and the mind is thinking; Sitting on the earth we are travelling hundreds of thousands of miles every day; In an instant, tens of thousands of years have flit past; the sun, the moon, the stars, and the lightning are all speeding fast by;In the morning your hair is still black, but by the dusk it has turned grey.

Everything is moving, and moving comes from pushing and pulling, where does the primordial motive power come from? How is moving possible without the Greatest Creator?

3. Everything has an image, the nature of the image is energy, and the core of the energy is the Greatest Creator

Image is picture. It refers to the size, shape, feature, and structure of an object. Image is the dividing line to distinguish one substance from another and to distinguish one object from another. That microorganisms and insects, grass and trees, man and other animals, mountains and rivers are different from each other is because they each have different images. Everything has a unique image different from each other. Then how has image come into being?

The substrate of image is gene structure. The gene structure determines the image. That water and oil has different images is due to different molecule structures, namely different gene structures. However, any structure would only be a phantom without the participation of energy.

Take, for example, the building of a house. We should first conceive the structure of this house in our mind. For very complicated houses, structural representation may also be needed. However, without the input of mechanical and human energy, the house will always remain a phantom. Only with the investment of human and material energy will the structure conceived in our mind materialize into the real house.

A seed will turn into a plant only after it has absorbed the nutrients, moisture, and the heat energy and light energy of the sun.

The fertilized egg in the womb of a mother will develop into a normal animal only after it has been continuously supplied with nutrition and energy.

A bulb will give off light only after it has been input electric energy.

A mound will become a high mountain only after it has received the energy of a continuously revolving earth.

A small river will become a great surging,impetus river only after it has marshaled the energy of thousands of streams.

Then where does the energy come from?

Let’s trace the sources.

A sapling must obtain moisture to unfurl its leaves and grow. The moisture absorbed by the root system mainly comes from the saturation of rain water. Where does rain water come from? It comes from the vapor-carried clouds in the sky. Where does cloud come from? The cloud comes from the ocean carried by the wind. Where does wind come from? Wind is formed because of the convection of the cold and warm currents on earth. How are warm and cold currents formed? They are formed by the continuous heat loss and heat acquisition of the earth surface when the earth rotates (not considering such factors as the gravitation of the moon). Then how does the earth begin rotation? What power has caused it to rotate continuously

According to the law of the conservation of energy, there could be no perpetual motion machines in the universe. The motion and change of any object should be propelled by another or more energy. Without energy, there would be no changes and motions of things. Then the motion and changes of everything must in the final analysis be propelled by a primordial energy not controlled by other energies, and this primordial power is the Greatest Creator.

The rotation of the earth is propelled by the energy of the Greatest Creator, and after the earth is in motion it will be driven by the other planets in the solar system, including comets.
4．Cause and effect are interconnected, every effect has its cause, and the Greatest Creator is the primordial cause of all causes

We have all experienced headaches. Every one may have a different cause for headache, but every headache has a cause, and there could be no headache without a reason.

Everyone becomes sick because of some causes, no matter what kind of disease he has contracted. There are also causes for congenital diseases. No one, I think, will disagree in this matter.

In the same way, typhoon, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, sandstorms, and SARS virus all have their causes for occurrence.

World War Two, the crusades, and wars in the Middle East all have their causes. They would not take place without any causes.

The massacre of the Jewish people in World War Two, the collision of Titanic with icebergs, the attack against America's World Trade Center, the disintegration of Soviet Union, the Return of Hong Kong to China, and the overthrow of Saddam Regime—all these have happened with their own causes.

Aren't there causes for the earth orbiting around the sun and the moon orbiting around the earth?

Are't there causes for airplane crash, train collision, collapse of houses, and flooding of rivers?

Aren't there causes for being the object of vituperation, for broken family, for imprisonment and decapitation, and for unnatural death?

Aren't there causes for tumefaction on the head and purulence on the feet, deafness and blindness, and disability?

Aren't there causes for tiger’s and leopard’s capturing of deer, for birds’ catching of insects, for the slaughtering of pigs, and for man’s sudden misfortunes?

Are't there causes for the decline of the early Maya civilization, Greek civilization, Egyptian civilization, ancient Roman civilization, Syrian civilization, Persian civilization, and Babylonian civilization? Aren't there causes for the rise of American civilization?

The following phenomena I listed in the chapter of “inevitability” of Life Chanyuan all have their causes:

The rise of wind and waves, the ebb and flow, the rising of clouds and falling of rain, the snow and mist, thunder and lightning, tsunami, typhoon, volcanic eruption, earthquake and fault, flooding, sandstorm, disappearance of birds, morning and evening glows, rainbows, solar and lunar eclipses, seasonal changes, migration of birds, hibernation of frogs and snakes, morning songs of larks, rooster's crowing, plague of insects, multiplication of bacteria, the birth in the spring and growth in the summer, the collection in autumn and storage in winter, the entwining of vines, the fragrance of osmanthus, the blooming and withering of flowers, the sun-facing feature of sunflowers, the continental drift, the disintegration of earth's crust, the melting of snow, the disappearance of islands, the river's change of course, the landslide, the rise of peaks, the weathering of rocks, the ravines, the movement of sand dunes, the spring between the rocks, the waterfalls, the river's transport of sand, the appearance of delta, and so on.

All phenomena or results, whether in the sky or under the sun, have their causes. We can never find a phenomenon or result that does not have a cause. If life-forms on earth owe their existence to the earth and the solar system, and solar system owes its existence to the Milky Way Galaxy, then what is the reason for the birth of the Milky Way Galaxy? If we track further, we will understand that at the beginning of the birth of the universe, there must be a primordial cause（the cause of the cause）—the Greatest Creator.

5．Everything has a purpose for its existence, and the ultimate purpose is the Greatest Creator

The purpose of microorganism is to enrich soil and corrode objects, the purpose of the soil is to nurture plants, the purpose of plants is to provide food for insects and other animals, and the overall purpose of animals and plants is to serve mankind. Then what is the purpose of mankind?

Everything that man makes has a purpose. Automobiles provide transportation, telephones provide communications, clothes keep us from cold, houses offer space for sheltering and man has created tens of thousands of articles to serve mankind. Then what is the purpose of man?

The purpose of the entire Milky Way Galaxy is to serve several special stellar systems, one of them being the solar system. The purpose of the solar system is to provide service for the earth, and the earth has only one purpose—to serve mankind. Then whom does mankind serve?

The sun, the moon, the oceans, the air, the land, and the ozonosphere have all existed to serve mankind. Even the ultimate purpose of the existence of flies, mosquitoes, and rats is to serve mankind. The killing viruses are also for the purpose of maintaining the balance of mankind. Then what is the purpose of mankind?

Everything in the material world is for the purpose of serving mankind.Then are we perfectly justified to enjoy all this as a supreme being? Is there no purpose for our existence?

Don’t we humans have a purpose in keeping cattle, horses, pigs, goats, chickens and ducks? Don't we have a purpose in planting crops? Don't we have any purpose in making planes, atomic bombs, and aircrafts? All man's activities have definite purposes, and everything in the universe has its purpose for existence. Is man the only animal that does not have a purpose?

Man’s existence also has a purpose—to serve the Greatest Creator!

Why cannot we realize that our existence is to serve the Greatest Creator?

This is just like the bees that we raise fail to realize that they are serving us, unless they have the thinking of man.
We won’t know the purpose of man’s existence, unless we have the thinking of the Greatest Creator.

In the history of man, only Jesus and Sakyamuni knew the Greatest Creator, Mohammed and Lao Tzu knew a little about the Greatest Creator.

I will tell you clearly that the purpose of man’s existence is to serve the Greatest Creator. The ultimate purpose of all existences in the universe is for the Greatest Creator.

After knowing the ultimate purpose of man’s existence, our life will have a purpose: to serve the Greatest Creator.

Exist for the Greatest Creator and we will have a promising future; deviate from the Greatest Creator and our future will be a total darkness.

6．Life is graded, and the highest grade is the Greatest Creator

The universe exists for order and the nature of order is grade.

Take stone for example. Diamond has a very high grade, and the stone that can be broken off with hands is lowly graded. Ruby and sapphirine are higher than opal. Opal is higher than topaz and spinel. Topaz and spinel are higher than aquamarine and zircon. The other stones in order of descending grades include: emerald, beryl, tourmaline, crystal, garnet, olivine, jade, woodstone, nephrite, opal, moonstone, sunstone, agaphite, serpentine jade, malachite, coral, tuba stone, granite, bluestone, and ordinary pebbles.

Take man for example. Man can be ranked in eighteen gradients according to the percentage content of spiritual nature in human nature. Jesus, Mohammed, Sakyamuni, and Lao Tzu ranked the first. Saint Peter and St. Paul, and Tang Monk were classed as the second; China’s Taoist master Zhang Sanfeng ranked the third. Beethoven, Bach, Rodin, Strauss, and Einstein came in the fourth place; Jiang Ziya, Zhang Liang, and Zhu Geliang were in the fifth order; the rustic farmers with unsophisticated folkway and unpolluted by commercial society came sixth; Washington and Lincoln came in the seventh order; Nightingale ranked the eighth; Shakespeare, Lu Xun, and Hu Shi were in the ninth place; emperors Tang Taizong and Kang Xi in the tenth place; characters in novels like Liang Shanbo, Zhu Yingtai, Romeo, and Juliet were in the eleventh place; the majority of common people fell into category twelve; the majority of officials in China at various government levels since ancient times stood in slot No. 13; Grandet, Shylock, and mercenary merchants were in the fourteenth category; cynic people and hedonists belonged to category fifteen; selfish people without social morality came sixteenth in the list; people living a muddleheaded existence were in the seventeenth place; those confusing right and wrong came last.
Take life for example. In the ascending order life can be categorized as: Life in lava and raging fire—life in ice-clad world—life in eternal darkness—life in rocks—life in soil—life in water—life in the air—plants—insects—terrestrial animals—flying animals—domesticated animals—dogs—man in human world—man in the Thousand-year World—celestial being in the Ten-thousand Year World—Buddha in the Elysium World—god in heaven—the Greatest Creator in the Zero world.

Life is graded. There must be the highest grade among all. The highest grade of life is the Greatest Creator.
7．There is an order in everything, and the Greatest Creator is the framer of orders

Human society is ordered. A country has only one president and this means order. With two presidents the country is bound to break up into two states. The company formed by incorporation of ten companies needs only one general manager, not ten. Order means that the lower level should be subordinate to the higher level, the employees should be employer, the criminals should be controlled by the police, and that license is needed for running business. Constitution and laws are made by man, but this does not mean that order is made by man. When man formulates order, the order should conform to the macro order of human nature and basic social norms. For example, however intelligent and wise the people are, they can not formulate an order with two presidents in the country. Because the system of a group with one leader
