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 attributed to the will of God.

But here's the irony: the laws that science reveals today—the laws of gravity, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and relativity—are the very laws that God created. They are the unchanging framework by which all of existence manifests and unfolds. Physics do not change. The physics that allow us to build skyscrapers, send probes to Mars, cure diseases, and connect across the globe with smartphones and the internet are the same physics that governed the birth of stars, the evolution of species, and the formation of Earth itself.

These laws existed long before we understood them, long before we gave them names. They were always there, waiting to be discovered—just as electricity existed before we harnessed it, just as gravity shaped the cosmos long before Newton named it.

When Jesus said, "On Earth as it is in Heaven," many have interpreted that to mean Earth should mirror a spiritual realm where truth and justice reign supreme. But consider the scientific implication: perhaps he was revealing a deeper truth. That the laws which govern the spiritual realm are not separate from the physical. That love, balance, justice, and even manifestation follow the same rules—across all dimensions.

There are not two systems—one for Heaven and one for Earth. There is only one set of laws. One framework. One consistency.

Science is not secular blasphemy. It is sacred insight. The microscope and telescope are not instruments of rebellion against faith. They are tools for deeper reverence. They allow us to witness the intricate genius of creation—to marvel at the divine intelligence that governs all things.

Even Jesus hinted at this evolution of understanding when he said, “These things I do, you shall do also. And greater things than these shall you do.” He was speaking not just of spiritual advancement, but of the evolution of consciousness—of our minds, our ethics, and yes, our sciences.

Jesus knew that humanity would grow. That we would come to understand energy, balance, and the deep interconnectedness of all things. That what people once called miracles would one day be revealed as natural, lawful expressions of energy in alignment. He knew that evolution—of body, mind, and soul—was the path. And that science would become one of our greatest teachers.

We are not betraying God when we seek to understand creation. We are fulfilling our role as co-creators—learning the tools, mastering the principles, aligning with the laws. In doing so, we do not diminish faith. We expand it.

Because to understand the universe is to touch the mind of God. And to align with its principles is to live in divine harmony.
