Theological Science and Wholes

A basic difference exists between today’s scientists and theological scientists. Theological scientists must consider the acts of God when their thoughts enter the unknown. Today’s scientists do not consider God at all. This difference became a reality to me after I learned that today’s scientists are failing and say that the universe comes to an end. However, when one identifies the differences between these two sciences, their differences about ‘wholes’ are significant. So, today’s scientists must say that a whole is equal to the sum of its parts . But, a theological scientist must say that a whole is more than the sum of its parts.

The whole of today’s scientists can be seen if one breaks down the parts of any man-made thing. For instance, break down the parts of any automobile. Then, count the number of parts in the automobile. Always, the number of parts will be finite. It is thus clear that the whole of any man-made thing will be equal to the sum of its parts. Since today’s scientists do not consider the possibility that God-made wholes exist, they do not investigate the nature of God- made wholes.

A theological scientist must conclude that all created things are wholes made by God with indivisible spiritual atoms. Every whole (or part) that God has made is thus formed by an infinite number of spiritual atoms. Thus, the parts of any God-made whole cannot be counted. This is why we are unable to distinguish and count the parts of a human being. Thus, a God-made whole can never be known exactly by us. We can only improve our knowledge of the wholes created by God.

When today’s scientists became atheists, they concluded that the end of life is coming. Religions that say that the end is coming are essentially saying that they are also atheistic because they do not understand God’s creation.
