This speech was given at the 2017 International Conference on the Unity of the Sciences on February 4, 2017, at the Lotte World Hotel in Seoul, Korea.
Developments in modern society have brought humankind abundance. However, the problem we must consider is this: The original owner of the earth is God, our Creator.
True Parents who help to realize the ideal of creation
God created all things in the cosmos and then created humankind. He had a dream for the first ancestors of humankind. God gave the first ancestors the responsibility to unite with Him during the growth stage.
The first ancestors had to unite with God. However, during the growth stage, Adam and Eve developed self-centered greed. They became greedy for things that were to come later. As a result, they became the fallen ancestors of humankind who could not unite with God and His purpose of creation.
Human history in recent times has been a combination of Heaven's hard work and humankind's efforts to correct what went wrong at the beginning. When God created the cosmos, He set up the principle of circulation, so it would last for eternity.
However, because of humankind's mistakes, our beautiful Earth is sick. Throughout human history, wars have continued to break out. Those who already have plenty of fight to get even more.
Heaven gave us religions so that God could reach and raise humankind again, but those religions lost their original purpose and are fighting, unable to unite. It can be said that the nations that created all of these problems, religious, ideological, and territorial disputes, and the even more severe problem of the violation of human rights, are large nations, which have the most.
When we look at these circumstances, we have to go out and testify correctly about God. God's dream was to become humankind's Parent. He wanted to embrace humankind as His children.
Even the parents of this world hope for the best for their children. They hope their children succeed.
How much more would the Creator, God, hope for that?
There must have been a reason that God was unable to embrace humankind. This was because human beings were unable to fulfill their responsibility.
If they had fulfilled their responsibility, they would have been qualified to stand right next to God as His filial children. But that position was lost. The omnipotent, omniscient God cannot change the ideal He held at the time of the Creation.
Heaven went through great effort to make it possible for someone from among humankind to come, who could understand the providence and who would be ready to go through the course of indemnity.
As is explained in the Bible, during a long period of 4,000 years, through the Israelites, conditions to indemnify all the wrongs of the individual, the family, the tribe, and the nation were made, and finally, Heaven was able to send the Savior, the Messiah.
Jesus, who was sent as the Messiah, came with the mission of establishing the True Parents. To become the True Parents, not only a man but also a woman, a bride, was needed.
It was the responsibility of Jesus' mother, Mary, along with Zechariah's family, Jewish figures, and the people of Israel, to prepare the environment, but they were unable to fulfill their responsibility.
If at that time, the Israelites had fulfilled their responsibility, Jesus, and his family, the new ancestors of humankind, would have been received through the Roman Senate, and the world would have embraced and united with them.
When people who have been blessed and given responsibilities are unable to fulfill those responsibilities, indemnity will follow. Due to Satan's accusations, Jesus had to go the way of the cross, saying he would return. He said he would return to hold the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
What does this mean?
This means he would return and become a True Parent. Fallen humankind cannot directly go before God. The Bible used this metaphor, comparing fallen humankind with the wild olive tree. The wild olive tree was waiting for its true owner.
The owner is the True Parent. The True Parents will emerge and gain victory over all indemnity. True Parents are the ones who will bless humankind and form true families, guiding them to realize the ideal that God held at the time of the Creation – God's original plan.

Scientists are needed to realize the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth
If you ask why I am speaking about this to you, scientists today, it is because you must understand this. You must know Heaven's secrets. You must know God. This planet is God's. It belongs to God.
Humankind must also belong to God. You have invented many things in various fields so that we can enjoy abundance in the twenty-first century. However, the by-products of many of these inventions endanger the lives of human beings and endanger the lives of all living things in the cosmos.
If there is no future for the planet, there is no future for humankind. This is the direction we are heading. We cannot ignore this and focus only on researching things that are needed right now. Due to people's selfish and incorrect thinking, the creation is suffering and is sick .
If we had followed the direction God established at the Creation – the principle of giving and receiving – no pollution would have developed. In many ways, our scientific civilization has caused much pollution, which threatens the Earth. This is the reason I am reviving ICUS.
We have to stop the threats to human life and the survival of the planet. In that sense, I know that you love Heaven more than anyone else does and that you have worked with dedication in your areas of research.
I am reviving ICUS because your efforts are greatly needed to create one human family centered on God, the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, so that all humankind, all 7.4 billion people, can enjoy healthy lives of freedom, unity, and happiness.
