Sciences
Empirical investigation reveals a cosmos of extraordinary order, fine-tuning, and intelligibility—evidence that converges toward a rational ground of being.
The Convergence of Evidence
Analytical Theism emphasizes convergent epistemology: truth claims gain strength when multiple independent lines of evidence point toward the same conclusion. The sciences provide precisely this kind of convergent evidence:
- Physics: reveals fine-tuning of fundamental constants
- Chemistry: shows the precise conditions required for complex molecules
- Biology: demonstrates the information-rich nature of life
- Neuroscience: explores the hard problem of consciousness
- Cosmology: confirms the universe had a beginning
Cognitive Sciences
The study of mind, brain, and consciousness confronts the deepest mystery in science: how subjective experience relates to physical processes.
Life Sciences
The study of living systems reveals information-rich complexity, integrated functionality, and the profound mystery of life's origin.
Physical Sciences
The study of matter, energy, and the fundamental forces reveals a cosmos of extraordinary mathematical elegance and precise calibration.
