God and Science: Coming Full Circle?

Atheist scholars contend that science continuously reveals religious beliefs to be “the hideous fantasies of a prior age” (as author Sam Harris put it). However, science may actually be closer to suggesting just the opposite. Modern science suggests that extra dimensions of space and perhaps even whole parallel universes exist, that the fundamental building blocks of our ‘reality’ don’t have real physical properties until they are observed, and that events on Earth can be influenced instantaneously by events deep in the cosmos. Many noted physicists (including Nobel Prize winners and even the father of quantum physics, Max Planck) concluded that matter depends upon the conscious mind for its existence. Indeed, not only is science incapable of disproving God, it is closer to revealing that the objective reality to which atheists devote themselves is the true fantasy.

Modern science reveals that our universe is so bizarre, that you can actually imagine something very ‘god-like’ having a purely physical basis. To be clear, I do not intend to argue that God is necessarily knowable through science. However, contemporary theories in science reveal that a being with god-like powers is not impossible, and hence refutation of the possibility of God has become the naïve perspective. Moreover, as I discuss in this book, it seems quite likely that God does intend for us to employ science in order to glean at least a glimpse of what lies beyond our immediate universe.
