Science is a fact of life. At the same time we must not be ignorant to the existence of our creator. The world had divided itself up into two divisions. One who stem their beliefs only on scientific findings and ones who stem their beliefs on religious doctrine. Very few seek for a connection between the two. They appear to be caught up in proving one another wrong that they are missing the answers that fill in the gaps which are present in both belief systems.There is a branch of science that seems to be putting these two realities into one, that being Quantum Physics. I am uncertain if their intentions are to combined the two,,however there is significant connections between them. For this column I will discuss one of them, which is according to quantum physics and cosmology our present physical form is in existence in another dimension.
They suggest that we are nothing more than energy particles. The source of this energy exists in the dimension that we reflect. Can this finding informs us of what the ancient world was trying to tell us right from the beginning, that we are a reflection of God? Genesis 1:26 says,"Let us make man in our image after our likeness.."Acknowledging our creator and his realm, we know that he dwells in a dimension other than the one we consume. Therefore, the connection that is within the findings of quantum physics and the writings of ancient documents are that our image in our space in time is the likeness(reflection) of our creator in his space in time.The connections between our creator and science are deeply rooted. Not only within quantum physics, in all other branches of science as well. It is worth noting that the word "wisdom" is defined as scientific knowledge. This being said, one can find the word "wisdom" in the texts that make the body of the bible approximately 233 times. Therefore one must ask just how important is it to consume scientific knowledge? The answer can be found in King Solomon's writings in Proverb 4:7"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding."It is safe to speculate that scientific knowledge is very important to obtain. According to the ancient world, science is the most important subject to be educated on. Although the bible is not regarded as a science book there is an abundance of scientific knowledge recorded within its texts.[!gad]Science is a fact of life.
