Scientific search for what is God.

[McCulloch]

I agree that the Big-Bang gives us very little insight into what is God, and the creation event is only a physical reality with very little to teach about the spiritual side.

It would be better if modern science would search to discover what is God but the people are so intimidated by the reality of God that science can not even talk about it let alone do the research.

The science of the "parallel universe" tells us so much more about our Creator, because if we each do exist in different parallel universes (and I accept that as true) then that does explain how God does gives truth and justices to every person whoever lived.

What would the search to discover what is God if it were to be carried out by modern science?

[paarsurrey1]

One-True-God (He is not Jesus, certainly) cannot be found out by science, and science has never taken this matter for any probe or investigation, formally. The opinions of the scientists in this connection are ,therefore, their personal opinions, need not to be correct, and not of science per se. Science fails in Religion miserably due to its obvious inherent defects. Science is not a function of Atheism/Agnosticism/Skepticism, so they should not worry. It is a joint venture of believers in God and non-believers. Right, please?
Please correct me If I am wrong with reasonable arguments.

The thing is that non religious secular science is pushed by government and thereby in the schools and in research, and so science has become the religion of government.

That government sponsorship makes the secular science into a powerful opposition to all forms of religion.

The so-called separation of church and State has been changed into being a weapon of anti Christ.

separation of church and State

Separation of Church and State is a laudable thing, the Truthful-Religion supports it. The Promised Messiah and Imam Mahdi 1835-1908 has made it clear that Islamic Caliphate does not envisage that Caliph should necessarily be a ruler of the State:

[24:56] Allah has promised to those among you who believe and do good works that He will surely make them Successors in the earth, as He made Successors from among those who were before them; and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them; and that He will surely give them in exchange security and peace after their fear: They will worship Me, and they will not associate anything with Me. Then whoso is ungrateful after that, they will be the rebellious.
[24:57] And observe Prayer and give the Zakat and obey the Messenger, that you may be shown mercy.

The truthful religion is rich in reason and arguments, it wins hearts and souls with peaceful dialogue, whatever the form of government of a state, it flourishes.

Its a meaningless prospect to assume an objective search for a God..........

Why would I say that and how can say that with confidence?

Well let's assume that in the scientific natural world view that anything that would counter the laws of physics might garner out attention........such as the growth of a severed limb on a human instaneously........or someone walking on water.........or any other supernatural act that is often claimed as a miracle in the Biblical sense.

Then assume that these miracles can occur as a result of people praying to a conscious entity they claim as supernatural.........and ultimately a personal God....perhaps even the personal God of the Bible.

If the above occurred it would certainly attract further observation and speculation as to what is going on and the source of that.......but even if that source was to be claimed as a God...............how do we know it is such an entity and not a super race of beings or a technological application by beings far advanced from us.........or that this God is a simulation along with our whole universe by some super programmer being?

We don't know.....because ultimate objectivity....ultimate reality............or who or what is behind the curtain can never be known because one can always say.......well if that is God how are we so sure there isn't a God that created it? and so forth and so on....

Reality could have one onion layer after the other to peel away and we may never find the end of it..........

So in our situation it is best to use the scientific method to build working models that are both consistent and predictable within our own reality as best as we can and accept that until such evidence demonstrates that there is something beyond our own reality ...........as in the speculation of a multiverse for instance... might end up being an indication of a reality beyond our own universe.

But to claim a conscious being is an all powerful eternal God is in impossibility to know for sure................even for that very proclaimed God itself!

Example.............God says I'm eternal.........

Well how long is eternity?

Forever without an end?

Okay then for a God to claim that it would have to go to the end of eternity....then look back and say..........I've existed for all eternity so that proves I'm eternal.......but a God could never do that because you can't get to the end of eternity to ever claim that.........there could always be some time in the future of eternity where this God would come to an end and it would never know that.

Eternity like ultimate objective reality ends up being the same claim.....no way to validate any of it or the God who claims that...........only to accept what we can deal with now as best as possible until we can stretch our reality horizon further at some later point if that is even possible.

Then do not do an objective search.

Religion has forever been telling people to get away from the idols (the objects) and seek God where God can be found.

Science is the one demanding that God must be put under a microscope or in front of a telescope or else God can not be real, and that is how science completely misses out on the search.

Objective = not influenced by personal feelings, interpretations, or prejudice; based on facts; unbiased:

Science is the one with the prejudice and personal feelings of denying the existence of God without any facts or research.

To find the truth then science needs religion to do the job right.

This post explains exactly why science is useless in relation to such ideas of GOD and why the demand for burden of proof in relation to such ideas is a fallacy.

You are incorrect. Science is not demanding anything. Atheist skeptics/anti-theists are, and in that they are conflating science with philosophy and theistic ideas and adding unnecessary confusion into the mix.

Indeed, scientific instruments (microscope, telescope) are able to help show the evidence of intelligent mindful creativity but personal individual interpretation is another thing entirely.

Science is the one with the prejudice and personal feelings of denying the existence of God without any facts or research.

Again, you are incorrect. Science is just a process used by consciousness to explore the environment in which it finds itself.

The prejudice and personal feelings are not the fault of science nor are these emotional expressions to be sourced in science. There are no facts or research that I am aware of which - if science were applied - would uncover the existence of GOD. If you know of any, please share.

[2timothy316]

I think these guys are on the right track. First a person must get past their own intellectual dishonesty before a search can even begin.

[JP Cusick]

There are no facts or research that I am aware of which - if science were applied - would uncover the existence of GOD. If you know of any, please share.

The point is that modern secular science is inadequate for the task - no one is denying that.

Modern secular science has created boundaries and walls as like hiding under a rock to keep science from ever finding anything that might rock their boat - or that might remove the rock they hide under.

Science would have to make some severe improvements in order to do the job.

And it is meaningless to say that it is the Atheist scientist or secular science and not science itself.

My view is that in some ways science has already found God in significant ways, as like finding the creation of the universe just 14 billion years ago is thereby proof of the creation. And evolution is proof of an active God and of intelligent design as that is factual proof indeed. And the planet earth spinning around perfectly at high speed being held by invisible force is distinct proof for the reality of God. Science is just too blind to see its own discoveries.

Science is just too blind to see its own discoveries.

My point was that science is a process, and as such, cannot see anything.

What you are saying is that secular scientists are interpreting what is observed and discovered without finding it necessary to acknowledge any possibility of a creator being involved in the formation of the universe and life on earth.

Then what remains is a subject experience............and there are far too many of them conflicting with each other to ever come to a conclusion that one is right and the others are wrong...........as a result we have a plurality of truth claims with each person confident theirs is correct and others are headed to hell........

Could you imagine if the laws of gravity were subject to interpretation?

Reality would be insane in that case.....
