Scientific Truth Beneath the Veil of Faith.



Scientific Truth Beneath the Veil of Faith

The Science Behind Sacred Texts

There is no science explicitly detailed in the Bible, the Qur'an, the Bhagavad Gita, the Tao Te Ching, or most religious or philosophical texts.
These writings were not composed as scientific treatises or manuals on physics, chemistry, or biology. They were the efforts of human beings to understand and articulate the great mysteries of existence—often in language rooted in their time, their society, and their limited knowledge.

And yet…
Within these ancient writings, there are scientific truths—some profound and eternal—that speak to the laws of nature, energy, cause and effect, interconnectedness, and the structure of reality.
The problem is, many of these truths have been shrouded by cultural stories, societal prejudices, and the limitations of pre-scientific understanding. Much of what was unknown or unexplainable was clothed in myth, allegory, or faith, and sometimes in fear.

Faith: The Bridge to Scientific Truth

Before we had science, we had faith.
Not necessarily blind belief, but faith as an attempt to understand—to make sense of the world. To explain why the sun rose each morning, why storms came, why life was born and life ended. To provide a moral compass in societies struggling with survival and chaos.
What was once faith often held the kernels of scientific understanding, waiting for human consciousness to evolve and see them for what they are.

For example:

Ancient traditions speak of oneness, of a universe where everything is connected.
Science later confirmed this truth in the discovery of quantum entanglement, where particles remain mysteriously connected across vast distances.

Spiritual teachings emphasize that our actions have consequences. Science tells us this through cause and effect, thermodynamics, and the laws of motion. Mystics spoke of the divine spark within every person. Today, we understand that the same atoms that make stars also make us. We are, literally, star stuff. The truths were always there—held in the language and metaphors of faith, myth, and storytelling—awaiting the arrival of science to give them clarity.

Sifting Truth from Prejudice

Many of the stories and laws in ancient texts are not eternal truths, but societal laws and biases rooted in the times in which they were written.
These include ideas about gender, race, sexuality, power, and hierarchy—ideas that reflect human fear, ignorance, and the need for control, not the deeper truths of existence.
To uncover universal truth, we must weigh everything against the consistency and harmony of the universe.
If something reflects consistency, balance, and the natural laws of reality, it points toward truth.
If it promotes fear, division, hierarchy, or oppression, it is likely a product of human prejudice or power structures, not divine revelation.

Truth Will Always Align with Science

All truth, like all of existence, is consistent.
And because the universe operates through consistent principles—whether you call them natural laws, science, or God’s order—true spiritual insight will always align with scientific understanding, even if it takes time for us to recognize it.

If there is truth in any belief, it will hold up under the lens of science: If a philosophy teaches interconnectedness, science affirms it. If a tradition calls for stewardship of the Earth, ecology and environmental science demand it.
If a scripture commands compassion and empathy, neuroscience and psychology reveal how empathy is wired into us as a biological imperative for survival and thriving.
Where there is contradiction, it’s often a sign that the belief is incomplete, misunderstood, or was shaped by human limitation, not universal truth.

Science and Spirit: Two Languages for the Same Reality

Science and religion are often pitted against each other, but they are two languages describing the same reality. Science explains how the universe works.Spirituality and philosophy attempt to explain why. Both seek to understand the truth.
And when both are grounded in consistency, they will find themselves aligned. As science progresses, it often reveals what ancient wisdom has long hinted at, stripping away myth and prejudice and revealing the universal principles that were always there.

God, Science, and Consistency

If you believe in God, then God’s nature must be reflected in consistency—in the laws that make existence possible. God is not outside the laws of physics or quantum mechanics. God is in them. And just as God is in the rain, God is in the scientific principles that create the rain.
In gravity that draws the clouds. In evaporation that lifts the water. In the cycles of energy that bring renewal. These are not separate from spirit; they are the expression of spirit.

Toward an Evolved Understanding

As our understanding evolves, we are called to evolve our beliefs, shedding what no longer serves truth, love, or freedom.
We are called to harmonize faith with science, belief with evidence, and to embrace the consistent reality that underlies all things.
This is the natural path of evolution, both physical and spiritual. This is the journey from faith to understanding, from myth to truth. And in this harmony, we find a deeper knowing: All that is true is consistent.
All that is consistent leads us closer to God, to truth, and to love.

The Problem with Religion: When Truth is Buried in Dogma Religion, at its core, contains truths that are consistent across all belief systems. These truths are expressions of energy seeking equilibrium, fundamental principles that transcend culture, time, and doctrine. But the same consistency that gives religion its validity is also what undermines it—because instead of embracing the universality of truth, religions often claim exclusivity, each believing itself to be the sole possessor of divine knowledge. This is where religion fails—not because it lacks truth, but because it buries truth beneath dogma, exclusivity, and fear. - The Universal Truths Across Religions If you want to bake a chocolate cake, it doesn’t matter what religion you follow. If you have the correct ingredients and follow the process, you will get a chocolate cake. The same is true for spiritual laws. Love leads to unity and peace. Hate leads to division and suffering. What you sow, you reap. Compassion heals; cr...

A Warning About Speaking to Children and the Vulnerable

A Warning About Speaking to Children and the Vulnerable One of the most sacred responsibilities we hold as human beings is the way we speak to children and vulnerable individuals—those who are still forming their sense of self, or who are in a position of dependence, sensitivity, or emotional fragility. Words spoken to children are not just heard—they are absorbed, internalized, and believed. Where an adult might hear criticism and filter it through reason, experience, or emotional boundaries, a child accepts your words as truth—especially if they come from a parent, teacher, religious leader, or anyone seen as an authority. To a child, your tone is not just sound—it is the voice of reality. Your praise becomes their confidence. Your criticism becomes their shame. Your encouragement becomes their belief in possibility. Your insults become who they think they are. If you call a child stupid, they will believe they are stupid. If you tell them they are worthless, they will carry that wei...

Science: The Divine Understanding of God's Laws of Creation

Science: The Divine Understanding of God's Laws of Creation Science is not the enemy of faith—it is its most precise language. Science is the divine understanding of God’s laws of creation. It is the human attempt to describe, measure, and participate in the consistent system that God—or That Which Is Greater Than Infinite—put into place. And yet, I find it fascinating, and troubling, that many people of faith want to place their religious texts into science classrooms. They insist the Earth is just a few thousand years old, that it was created in seven literal days, that modern humans lived side by side with dinosaurs. But they fail to recognize a simple truth: there was no science at the time those ancient texts were written. The people who wrote the earliest scriptures did not have the benefit of telescopes, microscopes, or equations. They didn’t understand atoms or galaxies or gravity. Everything unknown—every disease, every earthquake, every drought or lightning strike—was att...
