Physicist Lawrence Krauss and I appeared jointly in Boulder, CO, to the discuss “The Anti-Science of God?”
We ranged over several sub-issues: What is religion? What is science? Is God meaningless? Are all religions equally unscientific or do some try, even if weakly, not to be? Has the is/ought dichotomy made the problem worse?
Related: My discussion of the Theodicy problem: If God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good, then why is there bad and evil in his creation?
Fitting Faith into the scientific paradign . . . easier done then said!
For anyone interested, the first wholly new interpretation for two thousand years of the Gospel and moral teaching of Christ is published and on the web. Radically different from anything else we known from history or tradition. Redefining all primary elements including the very nature of Faith, the Word, Law, Baptism, the Trinity, the Holy Spirit and especially the Resurrection, this new moral teaching is predicated upon the ‘promise’ of a precise, predefined, predictable and repeatable experience of transcendent omnipotence and called ‘the first Resurrection’ in the sense that the Resurrection of Jesus was intended to demonstrate Gods’ willingness to reveal Himself and intervene directly into the natural world for those obedient to His Command, paving the way to confirm and justify, by faith, to the power of divine Will, Purpose, Law, covenant, and the absolute certainty of ultimate proof!
Thus ‘faith’ becomes an act of trust in action, the search along a defined path of strict self discipline, [a test of the human heart] to discover His ‘Word’ of a direct individual intervention into the natural world by omnipotent power that confirms divine will, law, command and covenant, which at the same time, realigns our flawed human moral compass with the Divine, “correcting human nature by a change in natural law, altering biology, consciousness and human ethical perception beyond all natural evolutionary boundaries.”
So like it or no, and most won’t, a new spiritual teaching offering a testable, predictable, moral wisdom not of human intellectual origin, transcending subjectivity, wholly testable by faith, meeting all Enlightenment criteria of direct, evidence based causation and definitive proof now exists, and carries all the implications that suggests. Nothing short of an intellectual, moral and spiritual revolution is getting underway.
