A meme I encountered online recently claimed that science leads to atheism at a basic or intermediate level of understanding, but to theism at a very advanced level of understanding.
I doubt the validity of this claim in general, as there are many eminent scientists who are atheists.
However, I can appreciate the subtlety of this claim in some respects. An advanced understanding of science may expose the limits of human knowledge and prompt one to either (1.) acknowledge the uncertainty, or (2.) invoke God or a creator as an explanation for the unknown.
Thoughts?
God and concepts of God are more connected to consciousness, than to test tubes and pH meters. The Science of Consciousness is not very advanced to untangle the inner instruments needed to sense God. I believe science and religion can meet, with consciousness the medium that both use. Both use the same tool to sense what they sense; inner and outer senses.
One main problem for science, in terms of inner sight, is the black box of statistics. Let me demonstrate. Statistical Medical Science says that cigarette smoking increases the odds of lung cancer. What does that mean in terms of cause and effect? Does it means everyone who even smokes a single cigarette, is 100% certain to get cancer? Or does it mean some people will get cancer at different amount of cigarettes, but we do not know who, how many or even when? This claim sounds official, but it is very fuzzy and therefore not very pin point objective. The ghosts of black boxes, depends on our emotions; fear, to help its theories come to sort of subjective focus; cause and effect simulation. I am scared therefore it works.
As a contrasting alternative, say I declare that if you throw a ball in the air, the ball will fall back to the earth. I may then ask, does this mean even a tiny balls or just vey large balls? Does it mean anyone can throw ball in the air, or does it work; official, if only scientists can thrown the ball? Does it mean in the morning or night, winter or summer? Does it mean in the Eastern, western, northern or southern hemispheres? It means in all cases, at any earth surface and in the air scenario, at time or any place, That theory is very objective, since it fits all cases and is a sure thing. No fear is needed to pretend, so I will go along.
If you were to draw these two science theory scenarios, as circles, on a larger fixed circle of all options, how would you draw each scenario? The gravity and ball circle would fill the enter space. While the cigarette circle would be much smaller, and it does to fit anywhere, in just one place. It has to be plotted as range of fuzzy thinner or dashed circles, all over the place, adding to one smaller full circle of uncertainty and odds. This a contrast of the type of theory that results; sharply defined and **** poor accuracy. If science is not up to the game, it cannot find God, since consciousness gets harder to target, than a one trick pony like cigarettes. The fact science cannot see God is due to fuzzy dice science, not yet up to the task, due lack of a genuine focus. Healing starts with acceptance, getting beyond denial.
I already developed the Physic needed to make this bridge, but science is too nearsighted and blurry eyed; black box subjective, to see. This does not allow for the needed consciousness objectivity, but only allows for self fooling simulation of objectivity.
Here is the needed science theory to get the eyes into focus so we can see. We live in space-time where the physical reality we see is limited to relationships, where space and time are connected, a certain way, like two children in a three legged race. This tether makes the two variables limited to each other, with optimized running of the three legged race of space-time, only if they both are coordinated. If they do not coordinate, then they will fall and lose the race. Below is an analogy with happy children. The laws of physics are all connected to the proper three legged race style. While speculated things will fall short if they, are not possible in space-time, since time or space were not properly coordinated; too much of one side or not enough of the other.
Picture if we were to cut the tether of the three legged race of space-time, so the two connected people, can now each move independent of the other. Without the limitations of the tether, the little girl on the top left-right, could run even faster than her partner, while here partner could stay on th allowing their disconnected team to do even better. This is the little girl below.
This theory has also been demonstrated in the lab, with an effect called quantum coupling, where two particles can coordinate in time, independent of distance. Below is diagram of the record being broken, again and again, connected to quantum coupling in optic fibers. In each case, the two particles coordinate in time, independent of distance; (d=0 and t=x.) with no three legged race tether.
The God affect is where time and space are not connected, to which the human brain can attach; consciousness. Humans can make artificial things not a natural part of space-time; would not appear naturally by natural space-time laws. But where space and time are not connected it can bend space-time, by adding extra time potential or extra distance potential; bridges to the future.
