SCIENTIFIC CERTAINTY
'The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), is a division of the peripheral nervous system that supplies smooth muscle and glands, and influences the function of internal organs.[1] The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, and sexual arousal.[2] This system is the primary mechanism in control of the fight-or-flight response.
“Within the brain, the autonomic nervous system is regulated by the hypothalamus. Autonomic functions include control of respiration, cardiac regulation (the cardiac control center), vasomotor activity (the vasomotor center), and certain reflex actionssuch as coughing, sneezing, swallowing and vomiting.
“Various textbooks do not include the enteric nervous system as part of this system.[8] The sympathetic nervous system is often considered the "fight or flight" system, while the parasympathetic nervous system is often considered the "rest and digest" or "feed and breed" system. “In many cases, both of these systems have "opposite" actions where one system activates a physiological response and the other inhibits it.

This research journalist’s Neuroanatomy instructor in 1964, ‘College of Medicine, University of Kentucky, formerly Graduate School of Medicine, and formerly University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa., research scientist, Dr. Lois A. Gillilan M.D., PhD anatomy said, “The modern nervous system, has 2 fundamental parts
- 1. stimulus-response chains and
- 2. internally generated activity patterns
“Both types of activity interact with each other to generate the compete nervous system’s behavior. “The simplest type of neural circuit is a reflex arc, which begins with a sensory input and ends with a motor output, which passes through a sequence of neurons connected in series", (a Neuronetwork). the Neuronetworks are made-up from the 100 Billion Neuron Cells in each Human Brain.

Dr. Gillilan was a student of Sir Charles Sherrington’s research, who published ‘the integrative action of the nervous system. (Sherrington 1906) 1. She was a fabulous Neuroanatomy instructor and a highly respected, precise Neuroanatomy investigator.
Dr. Gillilan continued remarks, "the human and other animals’ nervous systems (NS) coordinate their voluntary and involuntary actions and transmits signals to and between different parts of its body."
The Nervous System more specifically has 2 main parts:
Dr. Gillilan stated that during the human process, certain Homo sapien-sapiens (Modern Anatomical, Cognitive Humans) viscera (innards, organs, guts, bowels) were conditioned and became active as outlets for emotional tension. Humans, Gillilan said, were the product of both their a. Genetic Constitution and b. Environmental, Social, and Cultural Conditions."
Dr. Gillian Continued, “when families congregate they compare and discuss relatives pictures, school, work, illness and religion but seldom compare and discuss the following
- their mental conditions
- resultant emotional expressions
- family genetic predispositions
- emotional expressions
- and visceral reactions were never examined
- Environmental, Social and Cultural Conditioning
- Science
Underlying Humans were the 4 stress types that were experimentally determined when the Autonomic Nervous System was stimulated: Sympatheticotonic, Indifferent Type, Vagotonic and Amphotonic.
“Amphotonia is an Increased excitability of both parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. [Dr. Lois Gillilan]
Chronopsychobiological Regulation Diagnosis (CRD) assessed specific moods, stresses and strains in humans. Humans were categorized into so-called stress types, because they reacted differently physiologically, psychologically and behaviorally to environmental stimuli.
Institutions, religion and higher learning were designated for the cultivation of civilization’s apostolicity, in that vein meaning a balanced stressor response. “Human Amphotonicty was rarely achieved,” said Dr. Gillilan. 5. “Traumatic stress can be associated with lasting changes in certain brain areas.” The areas of the Brain involved in the stress response includes the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex. 6. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) discloses detailed various stimuli, incidents, mood and stress reactions to stressors at critical times in all of life’s journey.
Emotional and Dysautonomic disturbances were seldom discovered. Everyone has both a personal and family history.
Dr. Gillilan stated, “Books and autobiographies are somewhat psychologically safe to read. They can be read and the characters’ pain and suffering can be imagined without living the actual experience,” she said.
Personal destructive pain in the course of the experience is avoided by reading the book; not living the life.
Neuroanatomy instructor, ‘College of Medicine, University of Kentucky, formerly Graduate School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa., Dr. Lois A. Gillilan M.D., PhD anatomy, said, “Books and autobiographies are somewhat safe psychologically to read. When read, the characters’ pain and suffering can be imagined without living the actual experience.”
Reading the Holy Bible and listening to ministries are similar. The pain and suffering Jesus experienced more than 2000 years ago can be faintly imagined by Humans without living his actual experience. Distant stories and histories about the history of Jesus sometimes leave believers in supernatural doubt-ful-ness. But pain, suffering, heartache, joy and happiness, that Humans experience are sensed and memorized real-time and discovered and documented by scientists like Dr. Gillilan was and measured with radiographic brain scans, blood chemistry, biophysics and EEG and the modern nervous system.
Dr. Gillian stated, “Civilization’s basic needs have varied with the passing of time. Human conditions have dramatically changed.”
Gillilan resumed, “Civilization was the restraint of emotional expression from various stimuli and the process of conditioning people to achieve that end, which was the difference in civilizations.”
And so, it is now. Civilization’s understanding of Science, Natural, Reasonable, Rational, non-Supernatural Explanations of Intelligent Design Creation, Medicine, Science and Scientific Christianity are imperative.
During this research journalist’s medical education, Dr. Gillilan described the 2 fundamental brain parts in 1964 which have been even more well defined, published and educated with EEGs and photographs of the Soul, resulting in doubt-less-ness and emotional balance for Scientific Christians.
Dysautonomia or autonomic dysfunction is a condition in which the autonomic nervous system(ANS) does not work properly. This may affect the functioning of the heart, bladder, intestines, sweat glands, pupils, and blood vessels. Dysautonomia has many causes, not all of which may be classified as neuropathic.[4] A number of conditions can feature dysautonomia, such as Parkinson's disease, HIV/AIDS, multiple system atrophy, autonomic failure, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, and autonomic neuropathy.
The diagnosis is achieved through functional testing of the ANS, focusing on the affected organ system [4. Wilfred McSherry's article on the Journal of Advanced Nursing: Dilemmas of spiritual assessment: considerations for nursing practice] [Wikipedia]
“Spiritual distress is a disturbance in a person's belief system. A "disruption in the life principle that pervades a person's entire being and that integrates and transcends one's biological and psychological nature."[1]
"Spiritual pain, is evidenced by expressions of discomfort of suffering relative to one's relationship with God, verbalization of feelings of having a void or lack of spiritual fulfillment, and/or a lack of peace in terms of one's relationship to one's Creator.
Other Spiritual Disorders/Diagnoses: spiritual pain, spiritual alienation, spiritual anxiety, spiritual guilt, spiritual loss, spiritual despair, and spiritual anger. [North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA), 1999, page 67]
- The philosophy of Scientific Christian Certainty proclaims the following concepts:
- From knowledge of epistemologically, Scientific Christian Certainty is a method of inquiry about God, Creation, the Universe and the modern world. An extremely social human activity, science is an important institution and practice.
- Science has been credited with most of the goodwill, altruism and progress in the world. Scientific knowledge is often held to be the major intellectual accomplishment of the Western world.
- Spiritual Disorders/Diagnoses can be averted and avoided by understanding and practicing the following:
- God is truth and reality; God needs no supernatural shroud;
- God is humility; God requires no haughty philosophical descriptions, no kingdom of gold
- God is love and craves no wealth; God only calls for richness of the Human heart
- God needs dedication, obedience and righteousness which requires strength, courage, honesty, words of wisdom and patience;
- God needs not myths, delusions, promises, fallacies and erroneous beliefs.
- God is all powerful and omnipotent. Our God of the Bible and Creator of the Universe and is Our God of All Power.
- Our God is not fear of death, sadness and sorrow.
- Our God doesn’t require a transient learned emotional high, but responds to all Human emotions
- Our God is always with us. God is encoded and is an inhabitant in each Human Brain, awaiting willfull conscious activation
- To believe-in and worship God is an inborn obligation and joyful intrinsic inheritance
- Scientific Christians are content, satisfied, happy, emotionally balanced, enjoy doubt-less Belief-in and worship-of God and praise of Jesus for teaching how to worship
- God’s Scientific Truth promotes Christian certainty
- "There is something to be said for a man who dies happy."
