In search of the Consciousness/GOD
In the pursuit of understanding the intricacies of the human mind and the world, renowned scientist John Richardson posits that the conventional scientific tools, mathematics, and machines fall short. He suggests that beyond the realm of physics lies an extensive, challenging, and unknown territory, which may necessitate alternative means such as spirituality for exploration. Dr. Heisenberg echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the inadequacy of current beliefs in comprehending the true nature of consciousness operating in the universe. The conventional notion that a specific combination of unconscious molecules gives rise to consciousness in beings is deemed doubtful by Heisenberg.
Surprisingly, science is progressively acknowledging the potential authority of a higher power, an idea aligned with the perspectives of philosophers like John Stuart Mill and Kant. The systematicity and intelligence observed in the creation of the world lead to the proposition that the authority of God can be accepted, challenging earlier scientific refutations of God’s existence.
The imperfections attributed to God by past scientists like Mill, Hales, Holts, Long, Huxley, and Comte are considered outdated by contemporary standards. Dr. Philant, in his book “Theism,” refutes these suggestions on scientific grounds, challenging the premises upon which God was previously rejected.
Despite significant advancements in physical science, the core belief that consciousness arises from the mixing of specific molecules remains unproven in laboratories. The absence of the creation of artificial sentient beings or the revival of dead bodies questions the validity of this scientific assertion.
Science, inherently dynamic, necessitates continual revision of beliefs. The age of the Earth, once estimated at seven hundred thousand years, has been revised based on research involving radium metal and uranium, now suggesting an age of around two billion years. Such shifts underscore the evolving nature of scientific understanding.
While science has unveiled certain aspects of creation, the fundamental questions of how and why these processes occur persist as enigmatic mysteries. The formation of life’s essential element, protoplasm, remains poorly understood, highlighting the limitations of scientific knowledge in comprehending the rules governing such phenomena.
Evolutionist George Darwin and Professor J.A. Thomson express the enduring mysteries surrounding the origins and purpose of human existence. Scientist Eddington, in “On the Nature of the Physical World,” acknowledges the unknown entities and mysterious activities beyond the physical realm.
Scientists, while unable to definitively prove the existence of God with their current resources, acknowledge the existence of numerous hidden mysteries. The possibility of God’s power in these mysteries is increasingly recognized by contemporary scientists, hinting at a future where spirituality, as a form of science, may provide insights into the soul, God, and other undiscovered powers.
