In 1960 the Princeton physicist – and subsequent Nobel Prize winner – Eugene Wigner raised a fundamental question: Why did the natural world always – so far as we know – obey laws of mathematics? As argued by scholars such as Philip Davis and Reuben Hersh, mathematics existsindependent of physical reality. It is the job of mathematicians to discove...
In 2004 the great British physicist Roger Penrose put forward a vision of a universe composed of three independently existing worlds– mathematics, the material world and human consciousness. As Penrose acknowledged, it was a complete puzzle to him how the three interacted with one another outside the ability of any scientific or other conventionall...
The workings of human consciousness are similarly miraculous. Like the laws of mathematics, consciousness has no physical presence in the world; the images and thoughts in our consciousness have no measurable dimensions. Yet, our nonphysical thoughts somehow mysteriously guide the actions of our physical human bodies. This is no more scientifically...

Aug 1, 2024 · Some piece of scientific evidence can point to God’s existence, and make it more probable, but scientific evidence can’t conclusively demonstrate that God exists. It’s simply beyond the purview of science to give us definitive proof about anything.
One argument to prove God’s existence is known as the ‘ontological argument’ — an argument which, by reason alone – proves that, the very idea of God as a perfect being means that God must exist, that his non-existence would be contradictory. These kinds of a priori arguments rely on logical deduction, rather than something
