"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

Scientists have been trying to reconcile two physics systems or
theories. General relativity, which we observe as deterministic and every cause
matches a specific, local effect. And
quantum mechanics at the subatomic levels which show that interactions jump
without a specific, local effect and are based on probabilities versus
definitive outcomes. Scientists are debating whether our universe
is primarily deterministic or based on probabilities, but as scientists now
know - both have their applications.
As humans, we are both energy and mass (E=MCsquared), so both theoretical
systems apply. However, the
deterministic view prevails in our human journey. In our experience as humans we directly
identify causes with effects some of which can be verified. Others, are based on opinion. For instance, when we stub our toe we feel
pain. Studies of the body show we have
nerves that transmit pain. In other instances,
we may lose a job which can attribute to a number of causes or events leading
up to that event. In both instances we
have a deterministic view, one event directly causes another.
But what about those interactions where we cannot directly draw
a relation? Experiments performed by
physicists have shown one atomic particle can cause another particle to revolve
miles away with no physical interaction.
But this is at the subatomic
level, how does this affect our lives experienced at the macro level which
appear deterministic?
I have written in previous essays about the unus mundus, the
deeper order within our universe. What
if God’s consciousness and our soul which are eternal are reflected in the
energy field at the subatomic level? What if the effects of God and our soul
are probabilistic not deterministic, but affect the macro universe? What is our minds could make the jump from
deterministic to probabilistic which is to see patterns and connections without
a specific, local effect? What if the
nature of consciousness is probabilistic not deterministic? What if consciousness manifests itself at the
quantum level and that is why scientists cannot determine how the mind is
connected to the brain which is an organ of the human body? What is the mind exists separate from the
brain, but interacts with the brain by an unseen force?
What if this is part of the unifying theory physicists are attempting to
solve?
