Missing Link in Grand Unified Theory

Or Theory of Everything

Modern science is the seeking of answers according to objective observation that will lead to a verified conclusion. Anything along the path of proving an objective that incorporates a subjective educated guess renders the supposition into a theory. Hence scientists have to admit that the Darwinian concept of evolution is a theory because the connecting data is not verified even though most scientists believe Evolution as fact. For those that are dedicated to objective proof the Theory of Evolution is a reason for at worst atheism and at best a spirituality that does not include a personal god or polytheistic gods.

For objectivity obsessed scientists the only religion that can exist is based on some form of mathematical tangibility. Hence Physics tends to be the science that searches for the “why” of existence through numbers. Most people don’t realize how complicated mathematical constructs can be. As the science that is labeled Physics has evolved according to the acquisition of the knowledge of various ever increasing levels of Mathematics (which by the way I am nearly clueless about), the search for the paradigm or equation that explains all that exists has become the Holy Grail of Physics.

Once the various levels of Mathematics were not looked through the lens of dogmatic theology Physicists began to seek the equation that explains everything. When dogmatic theology reigned the day as the indubitable explanation of everything, any scientific speculations or verifiable objective conclusions that was perceived to be contrary to dogma was considered heretical error.

Guess what: Theology tends to be subjective based on faith and Science is an objective discipline dependent on what can be verified by experimentation. Christian theology via the Biblical Scriptures is an excellent example of how subjective faith overrides objective science.

1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. (Hebrews 11: 1-3 NKJV)

18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18 NKJV)

Christianity is a religion which has a Truth Paradigm based on subjective Faith. That which exists for science to verify by objective experiments leading to a proven conclusion exists because that which is not seen created it. It is a paradigm that objectivity can never prove even if eyewitness observation is able to be recorded. For example a Doctor gives a patient a medical death sentence because the objective observations of (say) the progress of a certain cancer has reached a stage that human objective conclusions have proven irreversible.

And yet that person receives and believes the Word of God that shows that faith in the Good News of Jesus Christ which includes Salvation from the curse of the law that leads to death brings life. If an objective scientist such as a Doctor or a Physicist objectively views a cancer disappear from a person of faith, he is likely to explain away the objective data as an inexplicable aberration rather than admit that subjective faith in Christ and the Word of God had anything to do with an objectively seen healing.

I theorize that the elegance of Mathematical science will never find the data to complete a Grand Unified Theory (GUT) or Theory of Everything (TOE) unless science learns to or discovers a Mathematical equation that allows for subjective faith in the unseen Divine.
