About WindowView

The Window Concept
Briefly put, information about our life and natural world presented through science and validated scriptural evidence with supporting evidnece from history, archeaology, and other supporting data all lead you to a key choice and a promise that has eternal implications ... this choice is open to every human being alive today.
WindowView content stems from key information sources. Science pages highlight evidence that udpdates, changes, and reorients conclusions often associated with the general theory on evolution. The evidence is scientific, not opinion, and thus opens up a renewed objectivity on life, origins, and who we are as humans. Another scenario regarding global change relates to scientific data reported at a specific forum on "Global Change and the Human Prospect: Issues in Population, Science, Technology Equity" and elsewhere annual meetings for the American Association for the Advancement of Science, as well as other major reports from America and Europe. Scientific meetings, going back to the 1970s, have historically identified and addressed global and climate changes far in advance of the current media coverage. With global changes across the face of human political and diverse life activities, one sees material changes forcing humanity to take a look at itself and ultimately a deep spiritual look—because we value life we find ourselves asking about purpose. WindowView presents perspectives where science findings and changes on Earth lead into the future projections provided by Scripture. While controversy, skepticism, and criticisms may arise, the discerning mind is one that sees an integration of scince to scriptural scenarios—even to the point of anticipating biblical prophesied events yet to come. This means you need to look, think, investigate, and gather truth in place of false or misleading information that today sweeps the globe and is too easily encountered on an unqualified internet.
Further, a scriptural scenario exists to the understanding of both Jewish and Gentile persons. Today, many people do little to read Scripture leading to an inadequate understanding of what the text foretells. Like core scientific information, Scripture contains complex, interlinked, and validated information—this too is key evidence to add to the larger WindowView. Only your study and discernment allows the depth of information to allow you to see a direct application to your life. Further discernment separates this information source from other misleading sources.
Scripture includes the original Hebrew text in the Tanach (i.e., the Hebrew Bible) as well as the Greek text of the Brit Chadeshah (a.k.a. New Covenant) as recorded by Jewish writers and scribes up to the First Century in the Common Era (CE). A focus on this scenario reveals: Who the Messiah is (validation of identity), who Messiah came to reach out to by personal visitation, and who and what events will bring Him back in the future. These points are often misunderstood, with some specifics missed even by the well studied believer—specifically the key role Israel plays to the end of this era of time. This scenario, along with those in the fields of science and change, helps to form a unique set of perspectives that the window reveals. The overall impression based on information within the window leaves the viewer to a conclusion, a promise, and choice that leads to a "step up to life."
Director and Associates
The window is maintained by the support and energies of Dr. Todd Peterson. As a PhD scientist Dr. Peterson has an appreciation for the biological and physical sciences, has conducted laboratory research projects, taught at the university level, and has worked in both the private and public sectors.
In association with the window are numerous individuals who have either scientific or theistic training—including those with graduate degrees in scienced and theology, expereince in missions and congregation leaders. Some names of these individuals appear in the web content presented here, while others have contributed behind the scenes.
"A man once told me: "You can't use science to prove God."
But then science and nature are a witness to the handy work of some Creator. Why think so? Who or what is the designer? Well, we have evidence from science for design in the universe, in our galaxy, in life on Earth, so we may be shocked to realize, in a fashion, science is about the business of a natural revelation. Ask Newton, Kepler, or Copernicus!
Beyond nature, there is a personal revelation ... another revelation to the divine that is a foundation to faith ... time at the window brings each of us to the point of valuing life as having a purpose and this is our personal experience."
- Director, WindowView
The window is eclectic in its content, but all the different perspectives draw sight lines to one horizon. At that horizon is truth to life ... only those persons who look and think beyond the constraints of life's daily concerns find the horizon. At that horizon is a 'convergence' of forces that move humanity along time—these forces are at work at this very moment—driving us all to a crossroads ahead ... at which there is "Choice or Crisis." You can look here and decide which it will be for you.

During 2013 the WindowView web pages were given a complete update. What you see is the result of hundreds of hours of webmaster work with new color, page styles, menu updates, and new navigation aids. In 2021, the content of the WindowView started undergoing updates—including minor revisions to improve existing pages and to add pages with important new content.
The ongoing work will support the scenarios, thesis concepts, and overall premise as described in the Convergence area.
We hope that your mind is refreshed, challenged, and renewed by what you see here. If not for now … for eternity and as a blessing to you.

WindowView.org started as a single web page on AOL.com in 1997. In the several years to follow the concept of the window and it's feature areas began to form and the URL "windowview.org" was registered.
WindowView.org was registered and web pages were first posted to the Internet in 1997. For about 10 years we posted a listing of site improvements. While this listing is no longer here, the web pages have experienced several major updates in format and content.
Older pages that are of value may be moved to our Archive Area (see our page map). However, archived pages may contain outdated thematic content. For example, in earlier phases the WindowView emphasized the concept of 'new paradigm.' This emphasis is still of some value, but now has been replaced by a perspective now focused on the theme of "Science and Scripture in Harmony."
There are many ways to track visitation to a web site. Site statistics are of value for many reasons. Our Web Master uses StatCounter.com to track visitation rates. Also, the following graphic representation is a helpful but only partial indicator of recent site visit activity, yet this is a most impressive graphic revealing the geographical distribution for our visitors at WindowView.
