Truth is One

It is foolish for religious thinkers to go on shooting themeslves in the foot and proposing ideas that completely contradict scientific discovery. Rather it should be noted that as science opens its vistas to spiritual dimensions, the truth that it seeks and discovers is no different than the truth sought in spiritual circles. It is said "God is Truth." It is also said: "E=MC2 is true", by arithmetic principle of distribution, it follows that God=(E=MC2).

It is said that God is Reality (Aquinas': 'ens realissimum'); it is also said that science seeks to determine the true foundations of reality, then it behooves us to realize that science and religion are talking about the same thing---rather they are both seeking the same truth concerning reality.

To think of God as "to be true"---St. Thomas calls 'truth' (verum) one of the transcendentalia (or, transcendental aspects of God's "to be"). The others are beautiful, and one (Pulchrum et unum). God is 'ens realissimum" or "being most real; most real being". I translate it thusly: The way things (really) are. 'Really' is parenthised because it is redundant. "The way things are" is one side of the balance the reponse to the way things are is the openness, or acceptance to the transcendental aspects of being at work in human psychology. Personally, I tend to sense God most of all via the beautiful. There is a wonderful medieval latin expression: 'scintilla' or 'ray' God "scintillates" being via beauty. Physicists seek God in the transcendental aspect of the unity of being---God scintillating as one. The unity that underlies all multiplicity drives scientific effort to resolve the apparent contradiction we experience (somewhat permanently)in our life. How can it be that one underlies all? How can there have ever been a scission in the One such that something other than being one came into being? Etc., etc., etc..!
