Science Verses Religion Or The Real World David FieldJanuary 20, 2010
Science is actually the study of nature and the laws of nature. These laws are the law of time, space, and energy. This is the three dimensional world. These are the things we can observe with our five senses, the sense of sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. These laws of nature we can measure and record mechanically. We can measure position, mass, density, size, weight, velocity, light intensity and color, heat, and other forces of nature.
But most people also believe another dimension exists, and also believe there is a sixth sense, whether they believe in God or science. Some call the sixth sense intuition; some call it the spiritual world. Remember that word “spiritual”; we will revisit that word.But this sense goes beyond science. We have no mechanical means of measuring this world, or anything in it.
So why do we believe another dimension exists? Maybe it is because there are too many unexplained phenomena. There are too many things that cannot be measured by science. Or maybe it is because we “feel” it. Lets talk about feeling, and lets talk about thinking. Feeling and thinking are two different things. In this modern western society, we have tried to steer away from “feeling”, in favor of intellect. But we can never really subdue our feelings because our feelings are a major part of what makes us, us. You may not realize it but your feelings, your emotions are what is really in control and at the head of you. Give this some thought. How many decisions do you make based on emotion compared to intellect? I guarantee if you add up the balance sheet, you’ll find emotion is your leader. We like to think our large brain is in control and we always act rationally, but this is far from the truth. From the color and style of your clothes to the way your wear your hair, and everything else in life you chose mostly by emotion. Take buying a house for example. You want a warm “feeling”. The first thing you look for in a car is the way it looks, then the color, and when these criteria are met, then the brain is allowed to choose the rest of the details. How about a relationship? Does the brain enter into that? These choices are at the top of major life choices and you have chosen to go with emotions every time. Lets stop kidding ourselves. Our make up is primarily emotional. There is nothing wrong with that. It is what makes us happy. Even the saying “stop and smell the roses” is an appeal to submit yourself to the emotional, to gain happiness; for everything to be in balance.
This emotional makeup of ours is a very complicated issue. It is much more complicated than intellect. We can measure intellect, to some degree of accuracy. But emotions do not fall under any law of nature. Emotions make no intelligent sense. Emotions seek to find peace, joy, and happiness, and these cannot be measured. Intelligence on the other hand seeks simple survival. But what good is survival when there is no joy? What purpose does survival serve? Survival makes no sense so intelligence makes no sense. Man is the only species that chooses death over living in misery. There can be only one reason for this. Man is the only species that feels, or has real emotion. I realize there is room for argument here.
Getting back to this topic of science, let’s start with time. When did time start, and when does it end? After time ends, what is next, more time? This concept cannot be explained by the natural laws and therefore it cannot be true or real, since it does not follow its own rules. There has to be some other dimension on the other side of time both ways. Space is an object that supposedly can be measured mechanically. So where is it? Where does it start and where does it end? The law of nature dictates that everything has boundaries; like time, a beginning and an end. But what is on the other side of this boundary? Space does not follow the laws of nature, and so also cannot be real. Let’s go the other direction: sub-atomic physics. What is the smallest particle? We do not know. And if we could see it, by the law of nature there would be opposing sides to it. And if there were different sides to it, it would have to be made of smaller particles. There has to be and end to this, but an end cannot exist! This is IMPOSSIBLE! Matter is impossible because it does not follow the laws of nature. Infinity is a concept that cannot be explained in the natural. Therefore if you believe in the concept of infinity, you cannot believe in the concept of natural science. Scientist now know that there is some other force at work holding things together at a sub-atomic level that defy the laws of nature.
So this science does not have all the answers; we knew that. But this is the science some are putting their life on, saying it makes more sense. I say it makes no sense at all. I suggest you find something more substantial to stake your life upon. My only conclusion is that this is a made up world, created and held together by a higher power that lives in another dimension. This being can see our world, but we cannot see his. Consider this illustration. An artist draws a picture on paper of a man. For the sake of this illustration, imagine that the artist has the ability to create life on this two-dimensional realm. This two-dimensional man could see in his world and from his perspective only the two-dimensional world. He could see left and right, but he could not see off the page or up out into the air because he is two-dimensional. The artist creator is three-dimensional so he can see the drawing, plus his own world. If the three-dimensional person poked his finger through the drawing, the two-dimensional man would see only a circle in the shape of the cross section of the finger. The three-dimensional man can move in his three-dimensional world but also has power to move in the two-dimensional world, but the two-dimensional man has power only in his world.
The actual relationship between our world and the spirit world is more complicated than this illustration because we are more than two-dimensional, and we do not know how many dimensions are available in the spirit world. This is why science can never explain everything. In our dimension, we will never have all the facts. This is why the deeper we dig, the more unanswered questions we find.
Science advocates say the bible is flawed as well. People are expecting proof of the bible in terms of this previously proven false science of nature. It just simply doesn’t fall under the authority of the natural. Just the same as God is a spirit and thusly does not fall under the authority of our natural law of time. He moves in another realm. The bible as a spiritual book, can only be understood in the spiritual, and can only be understood in the spirit. It is foolish to try to understand this spiritual, or extra-dimensional book in our natural world point of view. How do you do that you ask? Man was given a spirit. Man is a three part being; body, soul, and spirit. Your soul is defined as your mind, will, and emotions. Your emotions hold the connection to the spirit. The key is to find that connection and use it. This is another misconception of the modern western society. We have over the generations put aside the fact that the spiritual exists. We have thought so highly of our intellect, that we have forgotten that we are primarily a spirit being, as proven by our emotions. The spirit, being above the soul (mind, will, and emotions) appeals to the emotions, since the emotions rule the will, and the mind. This is the process: First you want something emotionally, and then you set your mind to accomplish that end.
But beware, in the spiritual world exists two opposing forces; the forces of good, and evil. These are real live beings that are persons, have names, and make decisions, just like you and I. God created you and this world and everything in it. Satan seeks to destroy all that God has created, especially you.
Is the bible, as the true Word of God, flawed or have the religions of man, either knowingly for their own personal gain, or unwittingly misinterpreted it over the years from its original penned language? Going back to the original text there are no discrepancies, or contradictions. Science, history, and archeology have done more to authenticate the bible, than has been done to prove this unexplainable theory of evolution, and moreover it is authenticated in the spirit man as true, once a person really digs into it without prejudice.
And what is it that would be our prejudice? Why do people find it easier to believe in other paranormal phenomena than to believe in the spiritual world of the creator God? Nothing more than our own will. People want to be their own god. People want to do what they want to do without having to answer to anyone. The belief in these other things holds on one in account of their actions. You can do what you want to do; whatever you think is right for you. The problem is that this type of behavior is detrimental you yourself and everyone involved. Living life by our own rules is the reason this world has fallen into so much disarray, and it is not getting better. It is getting worse. It is stupid to think that the same direction or the same action will bring a better result. God has given man 6000 years to try it his own way, and look where it has gotten us. Time is just about up. The next 1000 years, we will all try it God’s way. How can he do this? He made this place. He can do what ever he wants. If you choose to oppose that, you have been given the choice to exercise that option, but you will be thrown out with Satan and the rest of his followers. There is your freedom of choice. Are you going to choose the one that created and loves you, and wants to be with you forever, or are you going to choose the one that only seeks to destroy you? There is no other choice. Life without God is life without his protection. You will be on your own, and powerless against the forces of evil. You say you’ll never find out if God exists until you die, and then it won’t matter. The day you die IS the day it will matter. And on that day, it will be too late to change your mind. The choice is yours here and now, and you are not guaranteed one more breath. Nothing in this life will matter, compared to eternity. You want to do what you want to here and now? When here and now may disappear in an instant and be gone forever. How many moments will you sit in eternity wishing you had heeded these words? All I can do is bring you the truth. You won’t be able to sit there and blame me for not telling you. I do not condemn you for the choice you make. I will love you on this earth and forever, just as God does, from the moment he thought you up. Life with your loving father is a life on the road to eternal bliss and it could begin right now. Will there be trials here on earth? Until the end of the world, but you can enjoy the victory through it all, or choose to be on the loosing side. As for me, I care not what anyone thinks of me for this choice I make. I do not live for the approval of any man. That I believe is the mark of a real man, the way God made a man or woman to be.
Yes, I have already found that God exists because we communicate daily on the level I spoke of earlier. When I talk to someone in the natural, and they reply, I take it to mean they exist and are communicating with me. When I connect to the spiritual and talk to God, and he replies, I take that to mean he exists and is communicating with me. There is nothing better on this earth, and even if when I die I would be non-existent, it would have been worth it for the here and now, but this is just the beginning of eternity. God is a friend like no man or woman can be here on earth. He always has time for me. He never fails me. He never condemns me. He only loves and helps me to the extent of faith I have in him. He is just as much your father and creator as he is mine, and eagerly awaits to enjoy your company. It is as simple as that. Forget the God that the world portrays of a heartless cruel God of judgment and servitude. Of course, he will come back and destroy the earth someday, but I will be with him, and you can be too. He will need to wipe this place clean in order to rebuild it into what he intended it to be in the first place, a world without pain, without suffering, without lack, without misery, and without despair, and without sin.
You will notice I took neither side of the science verses religion issue, because I know them both to be in error, as the world understands. The real truth lies outside the boundaries of the understanding of the natural man.
