Why Many Physical Scientists Become Atheists
A fundamental idea of the physical scientist says that the universe is a container. The container of the universe is thus like a glass that can hold water or a brain that can hold mental ideas. Once the idea of a container is locked into the mind of a physical scientist, many other related ideas will soon be added to their minds. Two other major ideas are as follows: (2) closed world and (3) entropy. All three ideas will lead the mind to two more major ideas as follows: (4) completed knowledge and (5) end of world. Once these five ideas are locked into the minds of physical scientists, some religious people will join these physical scientists to watch the death of the universe as they wait for for God to take them either to Heaven or Hell.
Since I concluded that something seems to be wrong about these five ideas, I went into research and found that God and His creatures form a single world and that they do not form a container. Instead of finding a container, I found that God and His creatures are organized, are in each other, are independent things, are functional, and are for the sake of each other. Since God had no beginning and has no end, this single world always existed and has no end. This very different world is found in the 500. B.C. Greek writings of Anaxagoras, the writings of Plato, the teaching of Jesus Christ, the writings of Nicholas of Cusa on 'learned ignorance,' the study of general body extensions by Galileo, the New System of Leibniz, the thoughts of Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Hegel, and the transfinite numbers of Georg Cantor.
It seems clear that the work of physical science on the infinitely large, the infinitely small, and life are becoming more and more irrational as time passes. And it seems as though religions are on the same path.
