What is truth?....Pontius Pilate. I am the Truth.....Jesus Christ. As a believer in Jesus, born from above, I have constantly put my beliefs in His claims and teaching to scientific test and found them to come out wanting. Why? Because Truth is a person and I was trying to live the abundant life that Jesus promised, from an earthly perspective, cognitively. Only when I jettisoned any hope of realising a true experience with God, i.e. knowing Him personally through the doctrines that I had held for years, did I actually have to start the hard work of really believing what the bible teaches. i.e. That we can go into heaven and be in dual realms ( b.t.w. that`s supported by quantum entanglement theory but happily found in the book of Hebrews v 6:19 ) , meet God personally and have the kind of relationship with Him, as a son of God that Jesus enjoyed as THE Son of God. Everything falls into place perfectly when viewed from a heavenly perspective. The claims of Jesus require our complete wholehearted surrender in order to be REALISED ( in it`s dual meaning of being apprehended by the mind but also, within that apprehension, becoming a daily reality.) I suppose it`s as natural for a scientist to become as obsessed over God`s wonders and his interaction with them on an earthly plane as it is for, say, a musician who can be transported by his gifting and thereafter may know no other reality. If you scientists truly recognise your limitations you clearly do not give that impression sometimes.
