The Urantia book is a spiritual and philosophical on rules and deductions, can explain the creative revelation from the spiritual world that aims to unite powers of the mind and its judgment. This nullifies the claim of classic physics, computer, neurobiology, religion, science and philosophy. The book supports etc., that structure themselves into a complex the idea of a unified quantum field and explains the phenomenon of consciousness.
