On science and religion: reconciling contradictions. Commentary Through my consideration of both science and religion, I have reached certain conclusions about both which enable me to define a personal philosophy which combines the best of both, I wish to share this philosophy so that it can be considered by others and strengthened or weakened where truth wishes to lead it. The foundation. of philosophy are these postulates: 1. The energy of the universe is and has always been constant which follows from the physical law that energy can neither be’ created nor destroyed, .only altered in form. stan, The.,, constant, energy postulate implies that the universe needs no ultimate creator, and that it has always existed in one form or another though it may cycle between two forms. _ 3. Things exist and events oc- cur which are governed by natural laws both physical and organic. 4. Science will come closest to yielding the mechanisms of ex- istence. of things or the occur- Tence of events, and thus ultimate truth may be approach- ed through science though it may remain unknowable in its absolute form. 5. Evolution, a process of this by:Jorma Jyrkkanen change that orders energy is a » natural law or part thereof. we -6:-Evolttion“ Occurs’ amongst atoms through the laws govern- ing forces and transmutation and it also occurs within higher levels of organization such as galaxies and this kind of evolu- tion ordered the cosmos and is universal. 7. Evolution occurs in the realm of organic beings as put forward by Darwin and cor- roborated by science. 8. Evolution created human beings. 9. Humans created God to ex- plain the existence of things and the occurrence of events,and for a mentor. 10, If the Creator be God, and Evolution is the Creator then Evolution is God. These postulates are most cer- tainly open to debate, but their refutation will be most difficult I think, if not impossible. If one can demonstrate that the universe isn’t isotropic, or that the Laws of Nature change temporally or spatially, then perhaps, but I think not. While I have reached these conclusions at this time, I do not accept it as ultimate dogma or a basis for creating a new religion. _..It does however, suggest that we haven’t defined a God which has the properties that we wish nor have we previously defined a God which is consistent with Aciemtifie (uth; wa vise We could ‘say, by ‘way - of definition, that. God is the energy of the universe, or we could say that God is the laws which order that energy or God is both or that God is something more human and appreciable, like the love that we share. This latter is my choice. If there were to be a new religion that reconciles these postulates with the organic realities that exist in the minds of humans, then it would require at least one commandment. It is that we love nature as we love ourselves. ‘ arenes Binge Palace 4616 Hwy. 16 West poors OPEN AT 4:30 p.m. S BINGO Py 4q3 SUNDAY: Terrace Athletics Assn.
