Current scientific knowledge is frequently presented with a bias indicating science and religion are contradictory. This relatively recent phenomenon is despite widespread belief in a creator God being part of the history of humankind. With the incredible modern-era scientific advances, humans now seem determined to chase after and trust in material existence, simultaneously relegating God to an irrelevant status in relation to science. The Model of Everything-A Divine Universe presents a robust model, demonstrating there is no contradiction-the myth of contradiction is dispelled.
To address this myth, the hypothesis that science and a belief in a creator God (as presented in the Bible) are entirely complementary and interdependent is presented. The hypothesis is defended via a model based on a creator God being fully compatible with and supported by valid science. The model demonstrates that science and religion are a continuum to understanding our material and immaterial existence-establishing a comprehensive and functional worldview.
Our hypothesis’s underlying assumption is that if God created the universe, science should allow us to discern his presence in nature. Furthermore, in discerning his presence in nature, we see his grandeur, and he teaches us about our physical and spiritual existence.
Using extraordinary-and sometimes bizarre-phenomena revealed through physics, a concept to account for humanity’s spiritual presence within the material world is developed. Notably, the concept identifies how humanity has a relationship with God-unleashing the potential for spiritual growth.
With the model in hand, the reader-the most discerning ’instrument’ in existence-is equipped to test the model’s accuracy and relevance. A fundamental assumption is that humanity, as part of God’s created universe, is the critical factor in scientific discovery and, indeed, reality.
With an understanding of the model, the reader gains a worldview that fully embraces science and religion and dispels the myth. They are not contradictory. The reader becomes the scientist and develops a formula for cherishing life as a creation of God, knowing their purpose and meaning in life, and believing in an existence beyond the material world.
