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

If what we think we see and experts of realism claim to know is not completely real, then how can we know what is? (from Part VI)

When the unified theory of realism is questioned, are answers given? If black holes actually exist, what is on the other side? If negative energy actually exists, what is it? What is on the other side from which it ‘pops’ into the void? If there are multi-universes or parallel universes, what is their origin? How did any thing come into being that has come into being? What is the origin of life?

The priest and prophets of realism cannot tell us. They cannot give real answers to origins because layers of transformation and history veil its singular uniqueness. They may guess, but the unified theory of realism is incapable of anything beyond quantum surface knowledge. With all of their great accomplishments, astrophysicists cannot tell us what happened a few microseconds before the big bang, and neither can the historians of nature. The history of living organisms is hardly knowable much before the Cambrian explosion. If honesty is of any value, then how will moderns ever get answers to such questions? Maybe more important is getting answers to more basic questions like why does it exist at all? What is each person’s purpose? Why moral accountability? Why right and wrong? What is its source? Any answers from realism cannot be trusted because they are based on the deception of natural realism. Therefore, moderns are forced to turn to the ancients, or to those who have continued to consult and learn from them.

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.

What the movers and shakers of this unified theory of realism ignored was what the ancients already knew.... The essence of matter is information whose author is God. (From Part III; see also Part II and Part I.)

The ancient writer of Genesis knew something else moderns ignore. The ancient Jew knew photons were foundational to the development of everything in the universe. Photons are light. Light is energy. From atoms to humans, all that exists is an inverse hierarchy of ever increasing complexity of working relationships directed by information. According to nuclear physicist Russell Stannard, no scientist has ever seen an atom. Scientists only study their history in the form of energy lingering where it had once been. This further proves the ancients were in fact the true realists. (God Experiment: Can Science Prove the Existence of God?)

What you can observe and measure is the only reality. In one sense a unified theory did develop. It even encompassed morality and theology. A relativity of morality was worked out in the twentieth century as well as the many forms of what some call scientific theology, or theology based of the unified theory of realism. One of its well-known theologians was Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. (from Part II) See also Part I.

What the movers and shakers of this unified theory of realism ignored was what the ancients already knew. An ancient letter addressed to those living in the Jewish Diaspora states, “By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. (Heb. 11:3) In the New Testament, this ancient letter is called “To the Hebrews.” How could an ancient have known that information was central to nature. As written in the book of Genesis, “God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” (1:3) The synonym of speech is information. Speech of an unknown language is intelligent speech nonetheless. Most people can not decipher the language that makes computer easy to use. Even though most do not understand it, computer language is still a form intelligent speech. DNA code is information. A marvel of modern science is the discovery of its language. Each new day, scientists are deciphering more of the function and meaning of its language. Even more amazing still, is the real possibility that through learning the language of DNA, men may actually discover the very speech of God. It may turn out to be the cosmic transformative grammar. Physicist David Bohm’s theory that a type of blueprint of the universe exists in every element of material nature is consistent with such a language and is certainly consistent with the ancient understanding of nature. From a quantum particle to the largest macro-organism, an informatic blueprint inherent in energy regulates the unfolding development of the material universe. Bohm’s theory has been incorporated into the unified theory of realism, it is also utilized by those who still see relevance in the ancient view. The late Sir John Eccles, a neural medical scientist, believed neural science and evolution led to a necessary conclusion, which he formed into a theoretic hypothesis. He claimed the human spiritual soul was not only real but it was possible of being proved. Therefore, He proposed the immaterial soul worked like a parallel but controlling brain with memory. Because quantum mechanics accounts for immaterial entities, Sir Eccles demonstrated how the soul acting on neuronal operations could control all functions of the brain and nervous system, which in turn explains the human will. As other neural scientists have proposed, the operation of the brain and nervous system is powered not merely by chemical energy but rather by a holistic web of photon activity. None of these modern discoveries in any way contradicts the truth known by the ancients. The essence of matter is information whose author is God.

A panoramic picture seemingly of all aspects of society and its degradation is but fractured scenes of pixels and many empty spaces. Those empty spaces of reality do not seem to be there. The panoramic scene seems a consistent whole. That is the deception of reality, especially of the reality called realism.(from Part I)

Einstein’s theory of relativity is often used as subsurface content of modern realism. It is believed that the relativity of time in space is applicable to beliefs and values. Further counseled by methodological empiricism, modern realism sees relevance in an epistemology of an evolving and morphing understanding of truth. As the paradigm of modern realism developed, a metaphysic consistent with naturalism led to an embrace of Darwinian evolution. This dogma gives realism a cosmological explanation of the totality of the universe. As physics advanced as a discipline, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and the entire field of quantum mechanics reinforced realism’s phenomenology. What you can observe and measure is the only reality. In one sense a unified theory did develop. It even encompassed morality and theology. A relativity of morality was worked out in the twentieth century as well as the many forms of what some call scientific theology, or theology based of the unified theory of realism.

Darkness is a good analogy to describe life in a world where evil seems to predominate. The modifier ‘seems’ must be used for two reasons: One, we must use it to describe the awareness of its slow historical development through a multitude of events, decisions, policies, actions, attitudes and persons. Two, the limitations of human perception and knowledge render an accurate assessment of the state of the world doubtful. Without vast historical comprehension of its development in society, our vision of the present moral state of the world is more like a snapshot. A panoramic picture seemingly of all aspects of society and its degradation is but fractured scenes of pixels and many empty spaces. Those empty spaces of reality do not seem to be there. The panoramic scene seems a consistent whole. That is the deception of reality, especially of the reality called realism.
