Is God there? ...
Friday, Jan 24, 2020. As modern scientists we are trained to be very careful about reality. The basic point of science is to try to find the truth about facts. We try to understand. We try to find the rules and laws which govern some phenomenon. We try to understand what happens and why it happens. We try to gain insight. And we try to find ways to influence and use the phenomena and facts we find.
Science has these two main target points: insight and know-how. Insight tries to understand. Know-How tries to find methods to use and employ the knowledge.
Where do we see spiritual questions in this framework? How to deal with faith, with ethics and with the reality of God? Let us think deeper …

Spiritual Framework …
Clearly our brain is part of this world. Our eyes, our ears, our hands, … the whole body with its senses. We try to explore the world as a part of the world. It is fascinating that we find laws within this world. Laws tell us how things usually happen. Today we describe the physical or chemical world by mathematical laws, by differential equations and variational principles. These equations model how things evolve, they give us the laws of behaviour. Most parts of this world seem to follow differential equations - from macroscopic phenomena such as the climate of the planet to the microscopic world with atoms and photons and nuclear particles.

1 Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear; 2 but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear. (Jesaja 59, 1-2)
