INTEGRATING RELIGION WITH ELEMENTS OF SCIENCE. SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION - A PARADIGM SHIFT

(PART 13)

THE SHAPE OF THE EARTH AND THE POSITION OF THE EARTH IN THE UNIVERSE

For many years cosmological sciences erroneously thought that the earth is flat and suspended on pillars whereas Holy Bible prophesies had long recognised the mystery of the suspended earth and sang praises to God through the psalms for creating the world so wonderful and making the earth spherical like and suspended in space.

THE GREAT FLOOD AND NOAH'S ARK

Secondly, science has discovered that ages ago there was a great/sudden flood that covered the surface of the earth including the mountains and everything created. For some scientist who negate the story of Noah's ark in the Holy Bible how life continued on earth in spite of the great flood which expanded from North to South pole is still a puzzle, whereas the Holy Bible here once again comes to the rescue.

For while teaching about the great flood the Holy Bible makes it clear that God Himself, through the story of Noah's Ark, rescued the life of all those who agreed to come into the ark that is Noah's family, as well as the animals and birds that God instructed Noah to put in the ark.

Here again, the Bible has come to the rescue as the science world has confirmed the discovery of the Noah's Ark in which a 9,000 year old body laid uncorrupted was found on Mount Ararat.

It is pertinent to note that the science world acknowledges the great flood, but some of them cannot explain how life continued to exist on earth since fossil test reveal that all creatures died suddenly as a result of the flood, an obvious fact that man has no other possible story to tell on how life continued to exist on earth in spite of the great flood, besides the story of Noah's ARK in the Holy Bible.

FIRE UNDER THE EARTH

The Holy Bible has long prophesied about fire under the earth.

Now, the Science World has discovered through volcanic eruption that fire and heat erupt directly as an act of nature from under the earth.

In addition to the above, some decision makers in the science world are still facing numerous puzzles, some of which have been enumerated earlier in this discourse.

There is need therefore for such scientists to work in liaison with religious world for, as earlier stated in this discourse science is meant to complement and supplement religious prophesies, in fulfilment of command to man in ‘SUBDUE THE EARTH’

The realization of the fact that God made all men to fulfil his will on earth made Abraham Lincoln former president of United States in spite of his greatness to look upon himself humbly a ‘Instrument Of Providence ‘and to view all history as God's Enterprises.

It is pertinent here to note, as earlier discussed at pages 12 to 18 that SCIENCE UPHOLDS the fact that man is the "HIGHEST ANIMAL". For Science teaches that man is a complex being higher than all other animals, because according to Science, Man exhibits the dual nature of animal, and an additional "ABSTRACT" nature enabling him to relate with the absolute.

The aspect of man is what science calls ‘the subconscious’ dimension of man. Details of this has been discussed where the dual nature of man has been equated to the dual nature of the Euglena. (Please for more details glance through pages 14 to 18.)

In conclusion, it is obvious that the most supportive case for this call on scientific evolution (Paradigm Shift), in respect of the error of evolution are the following facts.

First and foremost, the fact that Charles Darwin who originated evolution theory, later adopted the Christian faith which teaches creativity sciences that says that God created man directly as an erect unique being and descendant of Adam and Eve.

Furthermore, for over two thousand years the process of Man's Birth, Activity, Labour and Delivery of manes Homo-Erectus (Man of upright posture) has not changed. For (as illustrated in this discourse).

The twentieth Century Science observe and teach the same on Birth Activity, Labour and Delivery as thought by Aristotle who lived before Christ over two thousand years ago.

The fact that, Evolution which Charles Darwin propagated has never been found to repeat in another Ape-Man Episode: a pointer that the more startling scientific revelations (quoted BELOW as a continuation of the topic on evolution) from Catholic position paper series A NO. revealing that man has never been ape is an authentic fact.

From the mid 1920's until the early 1970's, scientists generally believed that man evolved gradually from small ape-like creature called Australopithecus.

As we mentioned earlier, this animal lived more than a million years ago and its fossils showed some human-like characteristics. It may have walked upright at least some of the time, and its teeth approximated those of man.

Moreover, often found were stone tools scattered among its fossils. The theory during these decades held that some form of Australopithecus, enjoying relatively free use of its hands, developed tool-making, and this skill gave rise to an ever-larger brain through the forces of natural selection.

Magazine and textbooks showed the furry of Australopithecus standing next to Homo erectus, his distant evolutionary offspring.

But in the early 1970's researchers were astonished to discover forms of Homo erectus from almost two million years ago, complete with tools.

In other words, man had lived a long side and even before some forms of Australopithecus.

Most likely, it was he who had fashioned the tools found among the ape-like fossils.

Our purpose here has been to demonstrate the dynamic nature of scientific inquiry.

Even these few brief sketches show how evolutionary thinking has under gone an evolution of its own and still does.

Science has many uncertainties and very few dogmas.

The scientific fossil anatomical research stance on the Neanderthal man – Ape-man proves that man was never ape; man has always been man.

Topic: Evolution

From the normal procedure of science, it is clear that what has not been proved correct is not acceptable as a scientific fact and cannot be thought as such.

For this reason the teaching of Evolution, which has not been reduced to a hypothesis because it has not been proved scientifically, is a serious digression and error in the world of science.

It must be resisted and science should kindly correct this known Error.

God Bless.

The voice of truth makes this appeal to the world of science and seals it with the blood of Jesus. Amen

OPINIONS OF GREAT SCIENTIST ON CREATION, THE NATURE OF MAN AND CONCLUSION

Below are the opinions of some great scientists on creation and the nature of man right through the ages.

ARISTOTLE (384-322BC): While aware that the science world might be alluding to cracks in the fields of mechanism and cosmological aspects of his words, it is also a fact that in the relevant fields to the subject under reference, that is in his Biological words, Aristotle is regarded as “The Master of those that know”(Encyclopaedia Britannica)

In respect of the nature of man, Aristotle says;

“See how the heaven's high architect hath framed man in this wise, to stand, to see, to look, erect, with body, face and eyes.

And Cicero says, like Moses, all creatures were made to rot on the earth, except man, to whom was given an upright frame to contemplate his maker, and to behold the mansion prepared for him above.”

From works of ARISTOTLE Camden Publishing Co Ltd. London

SIR ISAAC NEWTON (1642 1727): English Physical Scientist and Mathematician,described as‘scientific giant’ and one of the greatest figure in the History of Science, described as ‘a man of quite exceptional ability’ is said to have been ‘profoundly interested in religious matter.’(Encyclopaedia Britannica)

ALBERT EINSTEIN (1879-1955): One of the greatest figures in physics and as well as a large number of other scientists, are of the opinion that, the universe could not have been by chance.

Below are more views on evolution and the mysteries of creation from scientist and philosophers.

“No line of scientific thought has so rapidly seized so many minds as that associated with Charles Darwin (1809).

Now however, the thunders of the evolutionary conflict rumble only from further frontiers of philosophical discussions.

But in considering this and other great scientific ideals, it must always be borne in mind that science never considers and cannot consider the world as a whole.

Gross errors have been made even by scientific men through this transference of scientific terms from their original field of reference.

This may be seen from, for example, the mass of fruitless disputation that has arisen around such words as ‘evolution’, ‘instinct’, ‘heredity’, ‘nationality’,‘value’to give a scientific appearance to no scientific judgement; or organ endless confusion between the scientific, the philosophic and the theological usage of such terms as ‘substance’,‘theory’, ‘idea’, ‘cause’, ‘purpose’, ‘function’.

There is therefore absolute need for decision makers within the Science world to note the above comments bearing in mind the following.

The fact that many Great Scientists from the past and present as pointed out in this discourse acknowledge the existence of a Deity to whom is attributed all creation and the orderliness in nature.

Hence, one of the greatest modern scientists Albert Einstein is called 2nd Isaiah because all his tested theories have been scientifically found to be correct, reminiscent of the prophesies of Isaiah in the Holy Bible which science has discovered to be true, confirming that scientists recognises Holy Bible messages to be authentic.
