(Gen 11:6 KJV) And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Humanity, with our wills and imaginations can achieve seemingly impossible things. And this would be marvelous if we were all united and motivated by truth and love for the life of the whole universe. However, being united and motivated by ignorance, fear and greed we are the most dangerous and destructive creatures on the planet.
Ideally science and religion have the same objective… ‘Truth’.
Yet both seem to miss it and become polarized, generally because science is a divisive approach to life, looking at the detail, while religion is a unified approach to life, looking at the whole. Yet despite the single goal - ‘Truth’ becomes lost to sight by rote adherence to scientific and religious perspectives and laws.
Take a beautiful flower, its beauty is implicit and it is interdependently connected with life and our living planet. In the quest for truth, the scientific divisive nature has the capability to reduce a ‘beautiful flower’ to petals, leaves, stem, roots, stamen, pistils, cells, cellulose, chlorophyll, mitochondria, carbon, atoms and beyond, effectively reducing a ‘beautiful flower’ to virtual dust.
Take a beautiful child an amazing work of art and engineering and then apply science to him or her and what do you have… a head, a body, arms, legs, brain, heart, skin, organs, cells, amino acids, chemistry, carbon, atoms and eventually just more virtual dust.
Is this kind of divisive science really the way to truth, or does it OVERLOOK it?
Understanding the way things operate is useful to manipulate and control things and this is often necessary when things are damaged and out of control… But shouldn’t we also be looking to eliminate the root cause of this destruction and chaos?
Such is the goal of religion, unfortunately it attempts to heal and control humanity through the imposition of religious laws that ‘normalize’ human behaviour, which in itself, is abhorrent to the individuality of nature, the diversity of life and perfect evolution.
It seems to me that the majority of humanity wants to live in peace and love, but are bounced between the extremes of science and religion and then exploited by the politics of confusion, often being led into wars for political untruths… that seek to exploit our ignorance, fear and greed.
If we can learn one thing from our science it’s that: at the lowest level of detail the ‘atomic’ universe shares ‘electron energy’ with one another and each atom strives continually for universal balance (peace and harmony).
If this is the case, then the source of our destabilized lives is not God or the universe, but forces in ourselves acting in contradiction… Such is the consequences of our sin.
(Mat 5:48 KJV) Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
