I recently stumbled upon a very interesting quote that goes something like "the better the model the bigger the problem".
Science is in the business of creating models of the actual reality or the raw truth, or reality the way it actually is.
These models allow us to manipulate reality rather effectively and create technology that massively improves our lives.
But science has become so effective in creating these models that it has lost touch with the actual raw reality that these models and maps are supposed to encapsulate.
And, because reality is bigger than any models that finite humans can come up with, it turns out that there are issues that those finite methods, maps and models will never be able to resolve.
And the most fundamental issue of all is: is there a God who has been existing from time indefinite and will continue to exist to time indefinite?
Science and its finite maps and models is in no position to tell...and never will because, as it turns out, our finite mind and its finite ways to encapsulate reality cannot possibly encompass that which, by definition, is a much larger superset that cannot be reduced down to a finite system of maps, models or equations.
