You Claim To Be Seeking the Truth

The following is addressed to relativists and materialists who on the one hand deny absolute truth, while on the other hand claim to be seeking the truth. It is likewise addressed to the honest seeker who is blinded by these same vain philosophies of fallen man.

It is also addressed to materialistic scientists who seem to imply that if a matter not testable using the scientific method, it cannot be considered real, or knowledge of such a phenomena cannot be considered true.

I have great respect for the scientific method, but it is a utility that has both a beginning and an end and exists in a reality for which it has no means of accounting. It is to those who claim that the scientific method does have a means of accounting for itself (by itself) and for the whole of reality in general, and that it can do so solely on a materialistic basis, that I address these words:

You claim to be seeking the truth. But I say how can you claim to be seeking in that which you do not believe?

Understand: The Truth exists with or without science. The Truth existed before the scientific method, and certain aspects of "that which is true" are unknowable using science in and of itself.

Science, you claim, does not believe in anything that cannot be explained by natural processes. But the foundational mystery that anything exists at all cannot be explained by that which has found itself to be existing. At least, not in and of itself.

The creature does not have the luxury of having always existed at all times, coming from itself alone with full knowledge of all facets of the totality of time/space we find ourselves in. And of course not! For that would make the creature itself the creator, and no longer the creature. But the mere fact that we are asking questions at all proves that we creatures cannot answer all of them ourselves, especially the most important ones.

The answers must be given by one with true knowledge.

And yet even so we have a myth today which claims that science is able to plumb the depths of the mysteries, and has even done so. It tells us that the universe has always existed, or that the universe begins and ends an infinite number of times. These both to overcome the insurmountable improbability and absurdity that life could arise by chance from nothing for no reason whatsoever.

This “infinite existence” of the physical is the “magical” or divine ingredient. It is the ingredient that does away with any need for an infinite creator. Rather, we simply have infinite “nothing whatsoever”, which just happens to be matter for no reason at all. And this is the source and destiny of our minds, our conciousnesses, our very souls?

Hardly. And hardly science.

These claims that the physical “universe” has always existed are not matters which science can reveal or give certainty to.

Not being able to prove that the cosmos is “all that was, is or ever will be”, neither being able to scientifically affirm or deny that statement, leads any such line of reasoning outside of the domain of science.

Example: The law of gravity would be turned on its head if tomorrow we all woke up floating in our bedrooms. Or Pasteur’s law of biogenesis, if we had a perfectly sterile environment in which a living organism suddenly appeared, would then be shown to be false. Simply, these theories are falsifiable in that we have demonstrable measures in the present by which we could do so.

Point: I cannot demonstrate that the universe(s) has always existed or that it has not by any natural or observable or testable means. Therefore, the answer to this problem has left the realm of operational science and entered the realm of metaphysics. The two should never be confused, yet sadly today this confusion is most commonplace.

Furthermore, since science, in itself, cannot account for itself or answer its own existence, it is not able to say with any authority anything regarding the origin of reality and/or of life and consciousness, or any of those things upon whose prior existence the scientific method depends. The scientific method is not some Platonic ideal having a life and existence of its own outside of men's minds.

And this is one reason I am so against Darwinism. Because it is the false god of the west that millions believe in, if not worship and adore. Indeed, many serve it and bow to it either abjectly or through acknowledgement of it’s supremacy and deferment (obedience) to it’s proclamations. And by these descriptions, the materialist likens the creation to God, in the place of God.

I hate false gods and false belief systems and false worldviews because they cause men to sin and be disobedient and unthankful towards the Creator Himself, Who is to be Loved and Worshipped and adored and obeyed above all other things.

He is that One Whom we do no know. And Who we do know through Christ Jesus, who reveals Him to us. He is the First and the Last.

The Beginning and the End of all things, and Who holds all things in His hand, through Whom all things consist and hold together.

Seek the Answer not from any man, but from God alone. Direct your petitions and earnest requests unto Him. For in Him, you live and move and have your being, your every thought.

If you do not believe in that which you seek for, then what is it for which you seek?

You must seek Him believing in Him, and believing He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek for Him.

Because: He Is.
