<font face="Verdana" size="2">Within the heart of each human
being there resides a deep-seated, spiritual desire to know in both
an intimate and substantive fashion that ultimate Source of their
existence, most often referred to as God. Humanity is forever
reaching out to that ultimate Source, very much as Adam is in
Michelangelo's classic Sistine Chapel painting, <i> The
Creation of Adam.</i><br><br>The NASA photo
appearing on the cover of <i>Science Facts in Bible
Wisdom,</i> like Michelangelo's famous painting, is evidence
that even with today's secular culture humanity continues to pursue
its innate, even if often subconscious, spiritual imperative to
know its Creator, not just spiritually but "in truth." Today,
however, the search for credible, substantive evidence and that
transcendental Truth, God, for which it speaks comes evermore
frequently by way of the amazing, new empirical findings of
science. Thus, on this book's cover, in place of Adam's arm
reaching out to God, we see instead the space shuttle's robot arm
reaching out to the visible evidence of God's "invisible nature...
the things that have been made" (Rom. 1:20). <br><br>As
this book attempts to show, truth of any kind must always rest upon
relevant evidence. But, it can not rest upon self-righteous
ideologies nor the blind beliefs of the large assortment of locally
popular human traditions (habits). Evidence and reason are always
necessary, whether the evidence required and the truth being
pursued are of a more visible, tangible kind, as at a crime scene,
or if they are of a less visible or ethereal nature. In the latter
case, the truth and that evidence which speaks for it must
necessarily be articulated by means of an indirect, analogical or
symbolic form of language. The only language which can, in effect,
make known more clearly the particular nature of such mysterious,
invisible truths by making them more concrete to the limited
cognitive scope of the human mind. <br><br>Such a
language must be used by both science and religion. The symbolic
form of language favored by science is one comprised of
mathematical symbols. On the other hand, the language favored by
religion, such as that used in the <i>Holy Bible,</i>
must often take on a metaphorical or figurative form in order to
make those spiritual things that can not now be seen more concrete
to the human understanding. Not surprisingly, people assume that
since the particular truths pursued by science and religion seem so
different their modes of reason must also be very different. Not so
The special mode of reason both use is in essence similar in many
ways, although the language each uses is superficially different,
as noted. Such reason is quite distinct from the usual, everyday
reason which serves too often as little more than a seductive mask
to disguise deceit and unsubstantiated, circular arguments,
rationalizations. <br><br>While <i>Science Facts
in Bible Wisdom</i> attempts to clarify some of the more
daunting, mysterious aspects of the <i>Holy Bible,</i>
it does not mean to suggest that the Bible or even the Christian
church has a closed monopoly on the truth concerning God. Indeed,
the Matrix of truth that is the one, living God is available to
anyone who will seek to know it in spirit and in truth through the
deepest part of their being, their heart, at the center of their
soul. From that point on, it is the choice of the individual soul
(person) as to whether it will allow itself to be led by that
loving Matrix of truth or be led astray by the many tempting
illusions of a world whose darkened reason habitually shuts out the
loving aspect of God's truth.
