All observation in science depends, directly or indirectly, on sensory perception including the interpretations in our brain. This is possible because of the high correlation of measurements across different sense organs and also across individuals. Society at large achieves generality of major interpretations across individuals by the process of socialization, resulting in a basically ‘social’ construction of reality. Somebody who was born blind and misses the social construction of visible reality will never perceive reality in a ‘normal’ way if he suddenly gains the sight faculty. He will prefer to close his eyes. We know that there are scientists who explicitly allow for the existence of God. But greater is the number of scientists who seek the opposition of their science against religion. They forget the social construction of reality. And they prefer not to mention the other challenges that shake their unshakable science to its foundations. One of those challenges is to understand what they are calculating when it comes to the origin of the universe. They tend to mistake their theoretical models and assumptions for facts. But science could or should become almost speechless when it comes to quantum mechanics. They present as scientific that the location of a particle is a probability density distribution, that things can be true and not true at the same time. And that particles on different sides of the earth can be simultaneously and oppositely entangled in the information they carry. Some scientists honestly acknowledge that they don’t understand it, others divert the attention from their lack of understanding to the foolishness of religion. For me as a religious person, the incomprehensibility of basic ‘reality’ to us humans points to a God who is so much greater than the three dimensions that we can perceive. Maybe science and religion will need each other in the future. I have already been trying to bring them closer together but I don’t understand enough myself, of course… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see much value in the combination, more so than in the opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever read www3 . telus.net/trbrooks/mindbattlefield.htm Here's a short excerpt : " The Mind a Battlefield The Spiritual Man, CFP, Vol. 3, Part 8 THE ANALYSIS OF THE SOUL-THE MIND, Ch. 1, by Watchman Nee THE MIND OF MAN is his organ of thought. Through it he is equipped to know, think, imagine, remember, and understand. Man’s intellect, reasoning, wisdom and cleverness all pertain to the mind. Broadly speaking the mind is the brain. Mind is a psychological term whereas brain is a physiological term. The mind of psychology is the brain of physiology. Man’s mind occupies a large place in his life because his thought easily influences his action. Before Regeneration According to the Bible the mind of man is unusual in that it constitutes a battlefield where Satan and his evil spirits contend against the truth and hence against the believer.
