Messiah and Modern Science

Modern science, what ever created as experience of human in observing the nature from mostly sixteenth century to present times is based on the "objective" and empirical data gathered from such observations, in contrast to scholastic and "cloister walking" discussions and theories of pre-modern eras. This scientific "outlook" has been absorbed, digested, assimilated and integrated with the texture of the minds of all human beings who are living on the earth right now. This modern consciousness is regardless and usually opposing to the legacy of "faith" that modern people identify themselves as followers. As I said, Messiah cannot invite people to His righteousness by denying this new consciousness or declaring that all fossils and traces of birth of the earth and the sun and galaxies and big bangs are created by almighty six thousand years ago at the same time of creation of Adam to test us if we are believer or not. Neither Messiah can say that these are just theories and have not been proved yet. And He cannot say that He is reconciling the religions and their ancient books with modern science nor says that by careful reading of those texts one can find all theories of evolution and atoms and galaxies explained correctly in symbols and codes inside those texts. Messiah cannot say that those texts are for comfort of souls and invitation to psychological conversion of spirits in their own turn and modern knowledge is for the overcoming on the material world and the body and flesh of humans in another perspective. These are cliches of preachers and clerics to mostly run a successful career and personal life style. Messiah is the most important fact of nature and His invitation should not be confused and desecrated with such trivialities tested times and times again. Messiah suffers for the original sin of man. The sin that threw man out of Garden of Eden.
