The macro, or observational, part came first since it's much easier to watch things happen than to try to understand why. People were observing nature long before mathematics and chemistry were ever discovered.

Once things like the microscope, advanced mathematics, chemistry, the genetic theory, etc. were developed it became possible to examine things at a level impossible by just naked-eye observation. That's where we began to see how things observed at the macro level were actually driven by micro events and interactions.

I've frankly never heard of any suppression of the study of physics in the early 20th century before reading this article. Actually a tremendous advance in physics occurred during that time period with Einstein's theories of relativity, many new developments in the understanding of electricity and electronics, the quantum mechanics theory, huge advances in astronomy and astrophysics, etc.

IMO there always has been and always will be a place for the hand of a creator in science. The more we know the more fantastic beauty and complexity is revealed about the universe and nature, and I become more convinced that some organizing force is behind it all.

I don't get what ths has to do with religion, except that knowing more about science reveals more of the true complexity and beauty of nature than is apparent to the naked eye.

Ghoti, one day we all will stand before God. Why must you choose to believe in mankind instead of a true redeemer of your spirit, one Jesus Christ?


Man is fallen ghoti. Men are hopelessley evil, wicked incarnate and if left to our own devices we will only continue to fester.

Ronnie, my experiences with others has been that the vast majority of people are kindly and compassionate when treated that way in return. If you're convinced that all people are "hopelessly evil" then you sure hang out with different folks than I do.

For example, when we visualize a circle, we imagine it as it exists in the invisible realm, but applying it to the visible world removes its perfection.
