It is impossible to know that something is true if it's not, so science and religion have nothing to fear from each other except a clash of conjectures. |
Galileo was only one example, there are many to this day. I agree with you about Jesus' teachings and I am familar with the Gospels of Thomas and the letters of Mary, but I can't help and notice the way these so call Doctors of Theology teach the ways of Jesus, the T.O.E. will never be accepted or revealed. These religious leaders teach their followers superstition and mythology as if it were fact. If all of the miracles and myths were taken out of the Jesus story, we would hear the true wisdom of a man. A MAN not a GOD. Jesus the man, the teacher, the philosopher, said one of my favorite quotes " I in the father and the father in me" John 14:10. Here Jesus tells us the Power is in us and we in the Power. I believe he was teaching about the spirit, the energy,the unseen power in and out of everything and everybody. The T.O.E. I believe will one day connect it all.
