I also am keenly interested in geometry and patterns - both in the cosmos and in living systems. And along with that, information theory. For instance, the form (double helix) of the information content of DNA is quite engaging - but many ignore it altogether.
And I strongly agree with your horseshoe remarks. People are more likely to see what they want than to want what they see.
Scientific theories which cannot be subjected to rigorous empirical testing and falsification are often built on theorists seeing what they want to see, e.g. evolution, anthropology, archeology. Observations are fit "into" the theory.
Theories from the hard sciences (physics, chemistry, etc.) are formed from the evidence and are valued by their ability to be falsified (Popper) and how they "weather" such attempts over the years.
That is an enormous difference in discipline - the former seeing what they want to see. Both are subjective at the root because the observer is part of the observation.
Only God knows objective Truth. Only He can see "all that there is" all at once - every where and every when. Indeed, He is Truth because when He says something, it is. It is because He said it, e.g. "Let there be light..."
God's Name is I AM.
Thanks!
It’s very obtuse. I could say that was me, or blame it on the subject matter.
My choice! So I will blame it on the subject matter!
There is a logical progression to the examples that have led me to some conclusions that are kind of startling, and for me personally, very rewarding. I will expand more on that later.
I’m still waiting for any scientist or even philosopher to explain to me why, when the husband got home, he found a cake.
In the shape of a transmission!
