Why is it when light shines in a dark world it is still dark? Part VI

The reality of naturalism is that moderns do not know much about reality, especially since they have rejected what is known outside of the unified theory of realism. (from Part V)

If what we think we see and experts of realism claim to know is not completely real, then how can we know what is? Asking the question reveals part of the answer, it has already been intuited. Modern realism is not able to supply the answer. As Jesus said, “if the blind lead the blind both will fall into a ditch.” (Mt. 15:14) Truth is as hidden as God is. Because the followers of realism fail to acknowledge their blindness, they remain lost in the darkness. The light of naturalism only reveals the surface of reality, but it cannot tell what it is made of or how it works. They believe they know and millions are as deceived as they are. Because they have peered into quantum depths and galactic heights, many believe their unified theory of realism is all knowing. Two facts prove their faith is an allusion: they have never observed atoms¹ or black holes² and their knowledge is limited to 10% of material reality at best. Scientists admit 90% of the universe is dark matter³, which they know almost nothing about. That is why the prophetic belief in ‘the-someday-they-will-know-all’ is self-deception. The deception of realism is self-induced because it refuses to acknowledge known truth. It is the reality the ancients knew without telescopes, microscopes, and atom splitters. They knew because within nature the light of God revealed what is in the darkness. Outside the limitation of finite nature the Creator gave some history lessons. Theologians call it revelation. The ancients simply called it seeing and hearing from God.

It is apparent scientists do not know whether black holes actually exist. Other scientists have acknowledge that no scientists has ever verified their existence by actual observation.
