Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed. 1 Corinthians 15:11 There is no doubt in this world but that the sun rises in the east every morning and sets in the west every night. There is no doubt in this world but that spring follows winter, summer follows spring, autumn follows summer, and winter follows autumn.
And yeah, science has been coming to the wrong conclusions about a great many things because they have no way to scientifically study and incorporate ‘consciousness’. By definition, it’s outside the realm of physics; stray from the study of ‘forces and matter’ and physics enters the areas of metaphysics, philosophy, and religion. More than one prominent physicist has publicly stated that physics needs to come up with a way to study consciousness if they are ever to figure out what quantum physics is actually saying.
More of your admirable traits, Peter. You are rigorously fact-based, you highly value knowledge, you seek the truth, and you remain open-minded to all you encounter, because you recognize that anyone may speak truth and you are open to it. This is wisdom.
I would add that we must remain open to finding ultimate truths in the broadest possible sense. Cosmologists have stated that 94% of the universe is dark matter and dark energy, ‘dark’ in the sense that we know absolutely nothing about it. As science discovers attributes regarding these unknowns, who knows how the new knowledge will overturn scientific ‘truths’ we accept as fact today?
Personally, I think much of the dark energy may turn out to be Consciousness (all that is God, however we conceptualize Him), but science doesn’t have a way of dealing with this yet. We need to remain open-minded and open-hearted to be receptive to the Truths that are imparted from that realm.
