Getting To Know God Better 43

Strong opinions is not good science.

I hear many people spouting off their strong opinions about this or that and many say they are basing their opinion on scientific fact, but I have discovered that most of that steamy and sometimes nocuous din is no more than a lemming-like adherence to someones else's non-scientific fact.

What's more, most non-believers (at least those with no spiritual proclivities), when making up their mind about something, do not consider any spiritual or theological input. They are working in a godless vacuum where they worship so-called fact makers, and the highest ranking being scientist.

I'm not saying that any scientist adhere to this tommyrot. Those who blatantly disregard the personal experience of others, (especially those who have faith in God), give their (those who have faith) opinions no value; they are not following science, they are following supposition, because they will not consider all the facts before making a conclusion, only their facts; only the narrow strand of facts presented by the scientific community, or many times hearsay from someone or some political group.

All of us have opinions and beliefs, but the wise among us are careful not to disregard the full spectrum of available information before making permanent memes. You don't have to be a believer to have your facts straight. Many times those who rest on their religious affiliation don't have their facts straight either. But all of us were endowed with certain internal guidelines for achieving wisdom and how to ingest information and formulate opinions and beliefs without falling prey to ignorance, (by rejecting valuable information provided by those not in their circle), and indifference, (by not giving heed to adverse or differing information sources).

The bottom line; most differences today are politically based, not scientifically based and that is not good science.

So what does this have to do with knowing God better. God is infinite and unchangeable and God has set forth parameters for all of us to work in so that we can have reliable science. Made up scientific facts to sturdy up one's beliefs is not scientific, nor is it godly or even sensible. Being wrong about something is not heresy, but passing on bad information under the auspices of scientific fact is definitely wrong in every way. Only truth will prevail in the end.
