I love science, because it’s our way of understanding God’s creation. Scientists will eventually get there. The Scriptures say:
Proverbs 25:2 (KJV) [It is] the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings [is] to search out a matter.
and
Proverbs 6:6 (KJV) Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
So man sees nature all around and wants to learn more about it: biology is born. Then they want to understand what moves all the “little” things of biology: microbiology is born. Then they developed means to see smaller objects: chemistry is born. When they find the atom and want to understand it: physics is born. When the means to see events occur at the subatomic level that doesn’t fit: quantum physics is born. Up to this point, all these sciences have explained the “how” of what’s around, but God put in us the insaciable curiosity of “why” and seeing the impossibility of these fields of study to explain it: metaphysics is born; the study of “being” and “thought”. Now don’t get glossy-eyed but follow to the conclusion 🙂
De Broglie’s discovery was an extraordinary one: In his research, he observed that sub-atomic particles also displayed wave-like properties. Particles such as the electron and proton also had wavelengths. In other words, inside the atom – which materialism described as absolute matter – there were non-material energy waves, contrary to materialist belief. Just like light, these minute particles inside the atom behaved like waves at times, and exhibited the properties of particles at others. Contrary to materialist expectations, the absolute matter in the atom could be detected at certain times, but disappeared at others.This major discovery showed that what we imagine to be the real world were in fact shadows. Matter had completely departed from the realm of physics and was headed in the direction of metaphysics. (1)
What they are saying is that when you get to the very bottom of everything, there is light! Science even shows that all matter is congealed light! Time for a definition: light isn’t like the light you see from the sun or a lamp, but waves of energy. At the subatomic level everything is energy waves – light. It’s been recently discovered that cells communicate with one another via light called biophotons. (2) It’s truly amazing stuff, but not surprising when you read the Scriptures!
Just as all scriptures point to Jesus, so does all science, it’s just a matter of how far the student wishes to take and believe the information given.
Leviticus 17:11 (KJV) For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an atonement for the soul.
This distinction in the definition of light is also in the Scriptures:
Genesis 1:3 (KJV) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
This isn’t the sun “light” because the sun moon and stars were not made until the fourth day. Today scientists call the light they cannot see “dark matter”. So what is this light (both seen and unseen) according the the Scriptures?
John 8:12 (KJV) Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.Colossians 1:16-17 (KJV) For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
There you have it. No matter how “smart” we become, whether in theology or science, it all points to Jesus!
