An Evolutionary Explanation of the Bible Wheel

By R. A. McGough | Published: November 27, 2011

For most of the years since I discovered the Bible Wheel in 1995 I felt it was pretty much “self-evident” that God had designed it. The patterns seemed so obvious and profound. I could not imagine how they could have happened by chance, and it seemed impossible that some secret group of humans had done [...]

Looking for Dumbo

By R. A. McGough | Published: November 24, 2011

The fall of 1990 was a time of great change for me. I was on a serious spiritual quest. I quit smoking and began exercising and eating better. I daily practiced Zazen meditation to quiet my mind and expand my consciousness. I also began recording and analyzing my dreams and was intensely interested in synchronicity. [...]

By R. A. McGough | Published: November 16, 2011

I also dramatically redesigned the look and feel [...]

A Critique of the Bible Wheel Book – by the Author! Part 1

By R. A. McGough | Published: August 13, 2011

Why would I want to critique my own book? The answer is quite simple. As explained in my last post, Why I quit Christianity, I have recently completed the huge transition from being a “born-again Bible-believing Christian” to being an agnostic without any specific religious beliefs. The process took about 18 months. It began in [...]

I have since come to realize that I do not, indeed cannot, believe in [...]

By R. A. McGough | Published: September 27, 2010

=========================================================== Update 9/28/10: For general accuracy and respect towards Catholics, I have edited this post to remove some of the unnecessarily inflammatory comments that I wrote in the heat of the moment.

An Ancient Christian Prophecy of the Bible Wheel?

By R. A. McGough | Published: August 13, 2010

The Odes of Solomon are dated roughly between 100 – 200 AD. Though scholars dispute their meaning and origin (since that is what scholars do), it seems pretty obvious that they are best described as an “early Christian hymn book.” The 23rd Ode is extremely intriguing, because it speaks of God’s “thought” being sent forth [...]
