One of the most profound realizations that 50 years of living has produced is that of knowing what I found to be clear or true often is not so clear or true. In other words, the more I’ve learned often only brings to light the reality that there is so much more to learn. This applies to understanding as well. Things are not as black and white any more. There are always two or three sides of an issue or a belief. It was enough to make one wonder if anything was worth placing faith in.

It seems to be a universal law. As a matter of fact, I ran into an interesting topic on Quantum Mechanics today. Now stay with me on this. I really know nothing about it. I do know that it is a mind blowing science — pardon the pun. What I found actually explains the above principle and also, in my opinion actually gives foundation to a person’s faith because in reality, just as soon as you think you know it all, the truth is that your understanding isn’t even close.

This is what I found today that Quantum Physics proves. I apologize for what is going to be an oversimplification on my part. Basically, prior to quantum mechanics, everything that happened in our reality/world was believed to have a prior physical cause. This philosophy arose during the period of Enlightenment. This implication that every event, every action could be explained in principle from a past action and that ultimately having its origination from such a thing as the Big Bang, removes all purpose, meaning and responsibility from our reality. Everything today is just a result as part of a set chain of events.

Quantum mechanics challenges all this. The double slit experiment mysteriously showed that at the point of science trying to observe its conclusions, everything changed. Reality changed. Watch the video to get the idea.

Here’s what the bottom line is. What appears as true in our wisdom, is in fact not apparently so. The debate between the scientific, religious and spiritual world is interesting. The concepts of this science are fascinating.

From all of the noise, I see at least one thing clearly displayed. I think it was best described once as such, “Where is the wise man? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?”

Yes, we have learned and understood a great deal. But when you begin to see it in perspective, we know so very little. The Psalmist of 46:10 wrote, “Be still and know that I am God.” Now that’s a truth I believe will hold to the end.
