  • Bryan Enderle grew up in Modesto, CA though he now lives in Davis, CA with his wife, Peggy, and son, Isaac. Bryan received two BS degrees, in Chemical and Petroleum Engineering; an MA in Theology; and an MS and PhD in Chemical Engineering. Personally, he enjoys grappling with the topics of theology and science, both as individual and intersecting topics. Without arguing one way or the other, Enderle uses modern science to make certain fantastic aspects of a modern God more plausible. In doing so he creates a space where science and religion can coexist.

    I’m not a scientist or have the ability to articulate the scientific methods as such, however, I’ve always felt and believed that both science and Religion or God or the creator etc... are like two rivers flowing side by side. Each has explanations to what the other can’t explain, and towards the ends of the rivers’ flow, they both merge in a sea of knowledge.

      I always imagined it more like there is one long giant river which is science. Along that river it occasionally breaks into small streams or creeks that run away from the one main river. The small streams usually don't go very far before they end but the river always makes it all the way to the ocean. The small streams and creeks are religions, gods, myths, failed hypothesis and theories etc.

      More Einstein quotes to give more context:
      ""It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously."
      ""The idea of a personal God is quite alien to me and seems even naïve.""
      "The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends. "
      "I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise; such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls."
      In response to an article describing Einstein as being traditionally religious:
      "It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."

      Here is a quote from Max Planck, introduced Quantum Physics:
      "All matter arises and
      persists only due to a force that causes the atomic particles to vibrate, holding them together in
      the tiniest of solar systems, the atom.
      Yet in the whole of the universe there is no force that is either intelligent or eternal, and
      we must therefore assume that behind this force there is a conscious, intelligent Mind or Spirit.
      This is the very origin of all matter.” (Planck, as cited in Eggenstein 1984.
      And here is the link to a book of the quotes from 50 scientists, who have won a Nobel prize, giving their thoughts on "religion". Take a minute and see what they have to say.

      Just saw ur comment Darlene. Thanks for that source. Does have some interesting quotes and from a very quick check they seem accurate. BUT the author obviously has an agenda and it cannot be used alone. Great example of quote-mining.
      Only read the Einstein and Charles Darwin quotes and they are all one-sided and ignore quotes like the ones I have already given which are obviously important in understanding Einstein/Darwins true thoughts. One may reasonably conclude that Einstein/Darwin believed in a non-deistic God.
      For Darwins real thoughts on God, we can read his autobiography, whoch gives the opposite impression to the source you provided. bertie.ccsu.edu/naturesci/Evolution/Unit14DarwinRel/DarwinReligion.html

      Why is is Science vs GOD? Science and GOD are not separate, science is just the proof of all that GOD has done, science itself has never told you, GOD isn't real, a SCIENTIST has, the reason the 'Big Bang' and theories along those lines even exists (which all contradict scientific laws, Law of Conservation of Mass, First law of Thermodynamics, etc) is because of doubt of HUMANS. And speaking on that fact, why would you even want to doubt GOD? If you know the gospel (which translates over to 'good news') of JESUS, you would know that JESUS died FOR YOU, and because of that death, WE HAVE THE REWARD of HEAVEN, why would someone even want to reject that, please humble yourselves, to trust in JESUSS as your LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS loves you so much that, even though many of you say these type of things and actually believe them, HE STILL DIED FOR YOU Romans 5:8 // But GOD demonstrates his own love for us in this While we were still sinners CHRIST died for us. You can spend your whole life trying to disprove GOD but where does that get you? I want you to all think about this, say I was wrong, and you were right, I wasted my whole life trusting in GOD, (and even then it is not a waste because I have grown so much in my relationship in GOD, freeing me from many things I though I would never get out of.) But let's look at this from the opposite situation, say that you were wrong, not only did you waste your whole life being an unbeliever, you wasted your ETERNITY after it, GOD BLESS. GOD is waiting to greet you with open arms, no matter how far you feel. Even one of HIS followers was a man who persecuted and killed followers of CHRIST, Saul (now named Paul) made a 180 turn and accepted CHRIST and even suffered and DIED for CHRIST. Sin is a wicked thing, that leads many to believe these lies, but once you can humble yourselves enough to talk to GOD, even just asking HIM question, and TRULY coming to HIM with a open heart and a listening ear, GOD will make HIMSELF present in your life, maybe HE already has, but many of you have ignored HIM, JESUS is knocking, but HE won't force the door open, JESUS loves you so much that HE wants you to make the decision wether you'll love HIM back, HE won't ever force you to love HIM, because HE knows true love is out of free will. Our consciousness, and conscience is the very proof of a good GOD, evidence is all around you, when will you open your heart to see? GOD BLESS, GOD LOVES YOU, HE is waiting for you to let HIM into your life. :)

    Im a christian and just saw the movie Lucy last night. This presentation kind of reminds me of that movie although I would say that the conclusions of this video and Lucy were different in the sense that Lucy ended with the idea that we as humans could basically become God through further understanding or knowledge (through modern science) while throughout the movie continually attributing all of the universe to "natural" causes and thereby leaving no opportunity for God to be part of the picture while Bryan Enderle leaves the possibility wide open based on the same modern science or understanding. Obviously, I agree more with Bryan's conclusions that God exists and completes the total picture of existence. I believe in contrast to the movie Lucy that the more we understand about the universe the closer it will draw us to God. The biggest difference however is that we learn about the universe through experimentation and the scientific method but we learn about God through relationship. God can not be put in a test tube but He can be known through relationship. This has been my experience.

    Some of Our greatest thinkers in science.. who embraced Mysticism..... Pantheism.. and.. or.. Idealism........ were… Kurt Godel, Freeman Dyson, Max Plank, Wolfgang Pauli, David Bohm, Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schroedinger, Isaac Newton, Louis De Broglie, James Jeans, Arthur Eddington, Nikola Tesla, Charles Darwin and Carl Jung……
    But.. to answer this question we first need to define what we mean by the word - GOD... The word - GOD - functions as a SYMBOL.. representing.. the underlying Unity.. and.. or.. as a METAPHOR.. representing a personification of a motivating power of a value system that functions in human life and in the universe. The force and energy that supports the world.. a personification of the power or force that seems to regulate the physical universe.. etc
    All of existence is itself a part of God - God is the sum of ALL natural processes - The Ground of ALL being - Omnipresence (present everywhere), the Supreme or Ultimate reality. The creative and controlling force in the universe - The force regarded as causing and regulating the phenomena of the world by the universal natural laws - God is outside and inside space-time. Not subject to the cycle of birth and death - The Ultimate, the Absolute, Infinite and Eternal.
    “God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.” - Joseph Campbell
    “A young female student accused Jung of being an atheist. Jung was confused and asked the student where she had gotten that idea. The student paraphrased a quote she had read in which Jung said he didn't believe God existed. Jung smiled and said "Dear girl, rest easy, “When we have a relationship to a particular thing or experience with it - belief/faith ceases to be a factor. The truth is this, I have had the experience of being gripped by something that is stronger than myself, something that people call God. So, I will never say that I believe that God exists. I must say I know God exists!" - Carl Jung - The Undiscovered Self
    “Science is reticent too when it is a question of the great Unity - the One of Parmenides - of which we all somehow form part, to which we belong. The most popular name for it in our time is God - with a capital ‘G’. “ - "“Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe.”
    “We living beings all belong to one another, we are all actually members or aspects of a single Being, which we may in western terminology call God, while in the Upanishads it is called Brahman.” - “We know that whenever God is experienced, it is an experience exactly as real as a direct sense impression, as real as one’s own personality. As such He must be missing from the space-time picture. ‘I do not meet with God in space and time’, so says the honest scientific thinker, and for that reason he is reproached by those in whose catechism it is nevertheless stated: ‘God is Spirit’.”

That is disgusting. A TED talk, ideas worth spreading. No. What he does is use a rudimentary understanding of the concepts to disguise a presupposition. Not science. Then to have the gall to bring up quotes by Newton, a genius in his own time who undoubtedly would disagree with the God Hypothesis were he alive today, to begin his rambling, in an attempt to justify his pseudoscience.

      Actually, Newton was known to be a devotedly Christian scientist - he put off the publication of Principia 7 years because he felt that it revealed the mind of God. He was believed to have died a virgin!
      The vast majority of scientists prior to the 19th century were theists (inclused deists).

    Some food for thought, the Big bang was the beginning of the universe, since the universe has a beginning some force put it into motion. I could not make my self, my beginning came from an external force, aka my parents. Nothing can create itself, some force always put it into motion. So since we know this, whatever caused the big bang cannot be the universe itself, something else would have caused the big bang. Now here's the really interesting part, since whatever put the universe in motion cannot be the universe itself, that means the external cause of the universe, would not be bound by the universe's laws of time physics etc, because it exists OUTSIDE of the universe. Now it all comes down to whether you believe that this external factor that put things into motion is sentient or not, but i think its food for thought because if there is a "God" I believe this is a reasonable explanation for how he exists. This would also be an answer to the question "well who made god" it would be nobody because everything we understand about creating, destroying, time etc only exists here, inside this universe. What is outside the universe, does not follow the universe's laws, it would be literally beyond it.

      Why is is Science vs GOD? Science and GOD are not separate, science is just the proof of all that GOD has done, science itself has never told you, GOD isn't real, a SCIENTIST has, the reason the 'Big Bang' and theories along those lines even exists (which all contradict scientific laws, Law of Conservation of Mass, First law of Thermodynamics, etc) is because of doubt of HUMANS. And speaking on that fact, why would you even want to doubt GOD? If you know the gospel (which translates over to 'good news') of JESUS, you would know that JESUS died FOR YOU, and because of that death, WE HAVE THE REWARD of HEAVEN, why would someone even want to reject that, please humble yourselves, to trust in JESUSS as your LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS loves you so much that, even though many of you say these type of things and actually believe them, HE STILL DIED FOR YOU Romans 5:8 // But GOD demonstrates his own love for us in this While we were still sinners CHRIST died for us. You can spend your whole life trying to disprove GOD but where does that get you? I want you to all think about this, say I was wrong, and you were right, I wasted my whole life trusting in GOD, (and even then it is not a waste because I have grown so much in my relationship in GOD, freeing me from many things I though I would never get out of.) But let's look at this from the opposite situation, say that you were wrong, not only did you waste your whole life being an unbeliever, you wasted your ETERNITY after it, GOD BLESS. GOD is waiting to greet you with open arms, no matter how far you feel. Even one of HIS followers was a man who persecuted and killed followers of CHRIST, Saul (now named Paul) made a 180 turn and accepted CHRIST and even suffered and DIED for CHRIST. Sin is a wicked thing, that leads many to believe these lies, but once you can humble yourselves enough to talk to GOD, even just asking HIM question, and TRULY coming to HIM with a open heart and a listening ear, GOD will make HIMSELF present in your life, maybe HE already has, but many of you have ignored HIM, JESUS is knocking, but HE won't force the door open, JESUS loves you so much that HE wants you to make the decision wether you'll love HIM back, HE won't ever force you to love HIM, because HE knows true love is out of free will. Our consciousness, and conscience is the very proof of a good GOD, evidence is all around you, when will you open your heart to see?

    trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life
    was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When
    I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first
    time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I
    couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I
    felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was
    unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was
    surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that
    experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my
    senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their
    trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back.
    At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God,
    and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me
    signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny
    that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in
    Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with
    all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able
    to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at
    Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be
    around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I
    realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as
    people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's
    presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and
    then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in
    my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and
    I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus
    save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him
    to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once
    like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger.
    It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed
    everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my
    racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this
    can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a
    different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real
    to me it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and
    I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am
    with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was
    May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things
    change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I
    know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think
    you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now,
    Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were
    severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many
    things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask
    God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings
    and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we
    confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he
    died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but
    abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and
    future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our
    hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit
    lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE
    LIVES!

    Definitely did not change my view. There is nothing here he says where science supports any claims or stories of the Bible. How god has a human son Jesus like some mythical Demi god. This man is confused because science and religion do not fit together at all. One shows proof of evolution the other thinks we are special creations, one is showing us that there multiple solar systems in all the galaxies and there might be intelligent and primitive life, the other thinks everything was created for us here on earth, one believes his book is right and is the way to heaven, the other goes after different experiment to prove. People continue to believe in god because they need the comfort but they don’t realize it’s a belief a faith there’s no support to back any of it.

    • @Hachi_Boards
      @Hachi_Boards 5 лет назад +2

      That's okay, but let me ask you this. Have you ever honestly asked yourself if your level of education in both fields is so extensive, that you can actually regard your viewpoint as a dogmatic truth? Have you read the bible for yourself and come to your own conclusions about what it is saying/describing? Have you experimented with the physical world, delved into your psyche, explored the limits of possibility for yourself, or even approached research in these areas without an agenda for interpreting the information? Have you honestly? It is likely that you have not, and your beliefs are just the product of a skeptical mind. A mind skeptical of intrusive viewpoints and perhaps bitter towards those who believe they have attained salvation. Unfortunately; this state of being is hardly any different than that of a religious fanatic. For, as it stands, you are only subscribing to a set of beliefs that have been given to you; without approaching every possibility with the same degree of skepticism you afford to the theistic explanations. Science has become a religion for you only because it affords an explanation of the world with a lesser degree of abstraction. But just think; everything you know is an abstracted truth; your language for describing things is only a framework your mind has built for making use of the world, but does nothing to describe the true nature of things. Every instance of an object is its own separate entity in reality; regardless of what it means to you. I implore you to try to be more open; because you will find that there is no salvation to be found in shutting out any possibility; challenge yourself to sift through every piece of information you are presented with and discover the truth of things for yourself. It is within our nature to be adventurous and to strive to discovery. Calling the collective discovery of others endeavors facts does nothing to free you, but rather imprisons you in your own subjective framework.

    'God in the gaps.' Knowledge has grown since this was made, and he made inaccurate statements as foundation of his points. Im not saying he is wrong. Im saying his 'facts' dont help his point. They arent quite facts. This does more harm than good I believe. One should be on firm ground, especially in this sort of discussion. Example, The photon being 'outside of time' would be more accurate said 'photons do not experience time.' They are clearly in time, we see them. Little things like this are where big distortions come from. 'There is nothing in the empty space inside atoms.' Popular idea, but not a statement science would make. We may not see anything there, but that means only that we dont see anything. NOT that nothing is there.

The other is adamant that the branch is a conduit for fluids to flow up from the roots and down from the photosynthesizing leaves. Tiring after hours of debate they notice a dog sleeping in the shade.
