The last frontier of science is human consciousness. Science can explain the tiny details of matter, as well as the origins of the largest galaxies. However, there is no consensus definition for consciousness, even though consciousness is the tool which does all the observing and theorizing.
How can a consciousness, that cannot agree on what consciousness is, use consciousness to explain things? Ultimately, all that we observe, theorize and know filters through that which is not fully understood. Conceptually, we cannot properly calibrate consciousness, to make sure that the science theory, which is used to define reality, does not have a biased system wide error.
As an analogous example, say we went to an analytical lab and told everyone, "do not calibrate any instrument, for one year, just run your tests as normal". Would this lab be considered reliable, if everything, but calibration, is done by the book? The graphs may look the same but will be staggered.
The ancients had a better handle on how consciousness worked, since the required introspection needed for meditation, contemplation, and prayer, was a way to self observe, and learn about the various input and output characteristics of their own consciousness. This introspection procedure is not considered valid science, since each set of individual results cannot be verified, externally, by the sensory systems of others, since it is all done internally. The scientific method had not been able to define consciousness using this extroverted method. Religion, on the other hand, is built on key people who were able to calibrate. Calibration is a different type of procedural science.
Let me give a practical example of the nature of the calibration problem. When the brain creates memory, emotional tags are added to the sensory content when it is written to the cerebral matter. Our memory is composed of both content and emotional valence. Our strongest memories, have the strongest feeling tones; marriage, children, glory days, graduation, first kiss, trauma, etc.
This schema is useful to the animal brain, since if the animal encounters a similar situation, already in memory, the feeling tag is triggered and they will react to the feeling, without having to think. If they see a food item that was once good, they feel good, again, about the new item, and will quickly eat.
In the bible, the symbolism of Eve and Adam, eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil results in them being removed from paradise. This symbolism implies they were initially in calibration; natural instinct, but somehow their action caused their consciousness to come out of calibration. Death appears because lack of calibration makes even logical judgments end up with errors.
The tree of knowledge of good and evil is symbolic of law. Law teaches us right from wrong or good from evil. It does this by setting up a polarization of emotions connected to the two side of the law. If we follow the good side of the law there is a good feeling tag, and if we disobey there is a negative feeling tag; fear. Since a law is one thing, that has two conflicting feelings, the result is not natural for the animal brain, since it creates conflicting emotions. If a law was created that said no black shoes on Wednesdays, since this is evil, some people would become conflicted since this makes no sense.
If the animal saw a food item, and felt it was good, but also very scaring in terms of consequences, they would not know what to do. This is very inefficient, in terms of neural energy, and will cause a damming of brain energy. This began subjectivity; calibration was lost. People are stuck trying to rationalize the proper action while under the spell of conflicting emotions.
The way the brain removed this damming of instinctive energy, due to the mixed emotions and indecision of consciousness, was to repress the half of the binary of law and make only the other half consciousness. We may blindly not wear black shoes on Wednesdays just to stop the conflict. One emotional valiance is more natural. However, the repressed half, needed to know the law, becomes part of an unconscious subroutine, that creates a counter position in the psyche; symbolic of Satan.
As an example of this affect in science, Genesis, conceptually assumes a deterministic path for the universe, based on logical sequence and progression. This is based on an all knowing God. I am not saying the details of Genesis is the final science. However, modern science assumes the opposite, conceptual path, which is based on random.
One may asked is the random path real, or is this choice part of a calibration problem due to law? Atheism claims to be connected to science. While atheist law says religion is evil and science is good. Therefore, they cannot use determinism, since that is used by religion, which evil. What is evil needs to be repressed. The result is a lack of calibration. Now there are more one theory for everything, some of which are mutually exclusive, which makes no sense. The Satan subroutine will make this appear consistent, since it helps to unify the binary of law in terms of brain energy in light of the lack of calibration.
