Theistic Belief is Not an Empty Chalkboard

Theistic Belief is Not an Empty Chalkboard

Ah yes, the ever-original chalkboard mic drop—
“Here’s a list of scientific discoveries religion disproved: 1. [blank].”
So clever. So edgy. So… early-2000s Reddit.

But let’s indulge this minimalist masterpiece from the lens of Divine Physics (DP), the Psychology of Belief (PoB), and the Holistic Origins Worldview (HOW):

👇 Here’s a list of scientific discoveries that were later proven wrong by science itself:

1. The steady state universe

2. Spontaneous generation

3. Phlogiston theory

4. The luminiferous aether

5. Indivisible atoms

6. Classical determinism

7. Newtonian gravity as a complete theory

8. Geocentrism (ironically popularized by pagan astronomers, not the biblical text)

9. Racist “science” of phrenology

10. The belief that ulcers are caused solely by stress (not H. pylori)

Now, here’s a list of things religion predicted or preserved before science caught up:

1. A finite beginning to the universe (Genesis 1:1) — confirmed by Big Bang cosmology

2. The non-eternality of matter — supported by thermodynamics and entropy

3. The fine-tuning of constants — awkwardly acknowledged even by atheist physicists

4. The uniqueness of human consciousness — still unexplained by neuroscience

5. The invisible reality underlying the visible — now echoed in quantum field theory

6. The moral law written on hearts — affirmed by cross-cultural moral convergence

7. The necessity of a logos — now eerily mirrored in information theory and DNA

8. The distinction between observer and observed — foundational in quantum mechanics

9. The impossibility of self-caused causality — foundational in metaphysics

10. The idea of intrinsic human value — obliterated in atheistic materialism, retained in theism

Your meme pretends science and faith are locked in some zero-sum game. They’re not. That dichotomy died the day Gödel proved logic itself had limits and quantum mechanics made observation a feature, not a flaw.

Let’s be clear:
Science revises its answers. Faith sustains the questions.
And the questions aren’t going away.

How God/Christ (the Logos) Communicates with Humanity: All Paths Point to Him—and Back to Us

How God/Christ (the Logos) Communicates with Humanity: All Paths Point to Him—and Back to Us How God—through Christ, the Logos—communicates with humanity  across  spiritual, physical, metaphysical, quantum, and personal domains , followed by an extended  summary list  that integrates and expands these tie-ins as outlined in Divine Physics (DP) and the Holistic Origins Worldview (HOW). At the heart of Divine Physics is the proposition that Christ is not merely a moral teacher or historical figure , but the Logos —the rational, creative, and sustaining principle of the universe (John 1:1-3). He is the interface between the Divine and the Created , not symbolically, but ontologically and metaphysically. Every domain of reality—quantum, cosmological, moral, emotional, and rational—is stamped with His nature. Every exploration, whether scientific or spiritual, ultimately leads back to the Source . And that Source is not silent. He speaks. Wa...

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4K4JDLD Announcing the 2nd Edition of Divine Physics: The Intersection of Faith, Science, and the Human Psyche Challenging Conventional Paradigms—Not with Preaching, but with Precision In a world increasingly divided by dogma—whether religious or scientific— Divine Physics (2nd Edition) enters not as an evangelist, but as a provocateur. This is not a book that asks you to suspend reason. It dares to ask if you’ve followed it far enough. Atheists, materialists, agnostics, and rigorous scientists: this book is for you. But not to convert, flatter, or accuse. It is an invitation to test your assumptions at the boundary between empirical evidence and metaphysical inference—to explore whether the universe is truly a closed system governed by blind chance, or if the data reveal a deeper structure pointing toward intention. What Is Divine Physics ? Divine Physics introduces a radical framework grounded in interdisciplinary rigor—philosophy, q...

Essay IV: Exploring the Foundations of Existence: A Scholarly Analysis of Atheism, Theism, and Agnosticism (and the Epistemic Horizon Effect)

Essay IV:  Exploring the Foundations of Existence: A Scholarly Analysis of Atheism, Theism, and Agnosticism William W. Collins August 22, 2024 essays.williamwcollins.com Abstract: The question of existence and the origins of the universe is one of the most profound inquiries that humanity has ever faced. The debate is largely dominated by two primary schools of thought: the belief that the universe "just happened" through natural processes and the belief that it was created by a higher power or deity. This essay explores these perspectives within the context of atheism, theism, and agnosticism, considering their strengths, limitations, and the broader implications for human understanding. Through a detailed analysis of these worldviews and philosophical reflections on the limitations of human cognition, this essay introduces the concept of the "Epistemic Horizon Effect" to describe the inherent boundaries of human understanding when faced with the infinite, the eter...
