Two things have resurfaced this week as a glaring dichotomy in science. Neither are new. Of course time, or our perception of it, is relative, so I will say they are relatively new. Newer, say, than Darwin’s “The Origin of Species,” but for one of them, no less foolish. The first comes out of quantum theory and is called “The Holographic Principle.” It theorizes, based on a mathematical model constructed from the results of experiments in particle physics, that we are living in a highly detailed hologram. The second is much more than a theory. It is the evidence gleaned from observations of actual life through electron microscopes and is titled, “ATP Synthesis And Storage.” It is the result of decades of work in micro and molecular biology that has revealed the amazing story of proteins and their work in our bodies and at the cellular level of all life on Earth.A huge breakthrough came in 2006 when it was discovered that the flagellum of certain bacteria are propelled by nano-sized electric motors made up of assembled proteins. Yes, that’s right, electric motors. That discovery led to the further discovery that within our mitochondria, similar, tiny electric protein motors are, minute by minute, churning out Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a prebiotic essential to life as it exists on Earth.Of course, this is all highly complex science, so, what’s the point? My point is this, the idea that life on Earth is some sort of play of light, a hologram, is utterly ridiculous to the level of the Flat Earth Society. It is an insult to mankind’s collective intelligence. I understand that it is just a mathematical hypothesis, but it is not developed enough to be called science. If it were true we would all be just three dimensional cutouts of light. If you opened me up, if you could open me up, there would be nothing inside. If you shot me a hundred times you couldn’t kill me because I don’t really exist. There would be no wound, or evidence of your attempted murder. If you cut me I would not bleed because there is nothing beneath my surface of refracted light. There would be no life, and no soul possible in such a world. For a vast number of people on Earth who suffer and struggle each day to survive, this ivory tower hypothetical is a brutal insult.But the greatest insult of all is the implication that the sufferings of Jesus Christ were some sort of digital illusion, that the blood He shed to save you from sin was only a digital creation, like a Hollywood movie playing out on a theater screen. I assure you by the proven synthesis of ATP and the design of the nano-machines that churn it out every day in every cell of our bodies, that Jesus suffered, bled and died on that cross. And His blood cries out from the ground to His Father in Heaven even now, as we speak.
