The Four Supernatural Gospels of Nature: Logic, Mathematics, Information, and Life

The Four Supernatural Gospels of Nature

"For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him." (Colossians 1:16, ESV)

The universe speaks a divine language. From the dance of quantum particles to the majestic sweep of galactic arms, creation testifies to an underlying order that transcends mere material existence. The Apostle Paul reveals that all things were created by, through, and for Christ—a truth reflected in what we might call the Four Supernatural Gospels of Nature: Logic, Mathematics, Information, and Life. These fundamental aspects of reality challenge purely naturalistic explanations and echo Christ's declaration: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life" (John 14:6, ESV).

I. Logic: The Gospel of Reason

Logic stands as an immaterial foundation of reality, existing independent of human minds yet governing all rational thought. Its principles are neither invented nor derived from physical processes, but discovered—suggesting a divine origin.

Divine Attributes of Logic:

  • By Him: As the Logos (John 1:1), Christ embodies perfect rationality. The laws of logic reflect His unchanging nature.
  • Through Him: Every act of reasoning depends on Christ's sustaining power. The consistency of logical principles across time and space points to His faithfulness.
  • For Him: Logic enables us to comprehend truth and discern God's nature, fulfilling its purpose of glorifying the Creator.

Consider the law of non-contradiction: something cannot be both true and false in the same way at the same time. This fundamental principle transcends culture, time, and physical reality—pointing to an absolute Truth beyond the material world.

II. Mathematics: The Gospel of Pattern

Mathematics reveals an intricate tapestry of relationships woven into creation's fabric. Its extraordinary power to describe physical reality suggests design rather than chance.

Mathematical Marvels:

  • Quantum Mechanics: Mathematical equations precisely predict particle behavior
  • General Relativity: Einstein's elegant equations describe space-time curvature
  • The Golden Ratio: This mathematical constant appears throughout nature, from galaxy spirals to seashell patterns

Divine Attributes of Mathematics:

  • By Him: Mathematical truths exist eternally in the mind of God
  • Through Him: The cosmos operates according to mathematical principles that reflect divine order
  • For Him: Mathematics reveals God's wisdom and sovereignty over creation

III. Information: The Gospel of Meaning

Information emerges as a fundamental property of the universe, distinct from matter and energy. It represents the convergence of logic and mathematics into meaningful patterns that govern reality at every scale.

Levels of Information:

  1. Quantum Information
    • Quantum entanglement demonstrates non-local information transfer
    • Wave functions encode precise particle states
    • Quantum computing harnesses information at the smallest scale
  2. Biological Information
    • DNA contains 3.2 billion base pairs encoding life's blueprint
    • Protein folding follows information-rich patterns
    • Neural networks process complex information patterns
  3. Cosmic Information
    • Fine-tuned constants guide universal evolution
    • Gravitational waves carry information across space
    • The cosmic microwave background encodes universe's early state

Divine Attributes of Information:

  • By Him: Christ, the Word, speaks information into existence
  • Through Him: All information processing systems reflect His sustaining power
  • For Him: Information throughout creation declares His glory

IV. Life: The Gospel of Vitality

Life represents the supreme expression of these principles working in harmony. Its emergence and complexity defy purely materialistic explanations.

Characteristics of Life:

  • Self-replication with inherited information
  • Complex information processing systems
  • Goal-directed behavior
  • Adaptation and response to environment

Divine Attributes of Life:

  • By Him: Christ breathes life into creation (Genesis 2:7)
  • Through Him: Every living thing depends on His sustaining power
  • For Him: Life manifests His creative power and wisdom

Integration: The Symphony of Creation

These four gospels of nature work in concert:

  • Logic provides the rational framework
  • Mathematics supplies the precise relationships
  • Information enables meaningful complexity
  • Life demonstrates their perfect integration

Together, they reveal Christ as:

  • The Way: establishing order through logic and mathematics
  • The Truth: encoding meaning through information
  • The Life: bringing forth vitality through biological systems
"For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen." (Romans 11:36, ESV)

In these four supernatural gospels, we witness creation's testimony to its Creator. They reveal a universe finely tuned not just for existence, but for discovery—inviting us to explore and understand the wisdom of Him who made all things through Christ and for Christ.

Eckhart Tolle - Christian Response

Unbelievable! ...The extent man not founded upon Christ will go and follow in their quest and pursuit of self and attempts to explain away reality and sin. Here's Oprah's spiritual sage... Response: 1. He resurrects errors of the past which deny reality by seeking to replace it with forms. 2. By reducing the past to forms (or photo albums) he not only denies the reality of the past but the extent of it's connectedness and relationship to the present. This error he also translates in regard to the future. 3. He establishes a false premise that one can separate the reality of the present ("now") from reality itself, which he vests in onesself (though he inconsistently goes on to suggest that life is found in abandoning oneself) 4. He has no grounds or basis for assuming reality is found in self (and apart from everything else, or only what one want's to allow) 5. By denying the truth of God, he falsely asserts that the future is no longer problematic...

Logic Force Theory: A New Perspective on Reality (R=L+S→D)

# Author's Note The theory presented in these pages emerged from a simple yet persistent question: Why does mathematics so effectively describe physical reality? This "unreasonable effectiveness," as Eugene Wigner famously termed it, suggests a deep connection between logical necessity and physical behavior. Logic Force Theory (LFT) represents an attempt to explore this connection by positing that logical structure might be more fundamental than physical laws themselves. I present this theory not as a complete or final framework, but as an invitation to consider a different perspective on quantum mechanics. While LFT offers potential solutions to longstanding problems like the measurement problem and the quantum-to-classical transition, it also raises new questions and challenges. Some of its mathematical frameworks require further development, and its philosophical implications need deeper exploration. The core premise - that reality must conform to logical necessity ( R...

Eckhart Tolle Christianity (Understanding Eckhart Tolle - Comparison / Difference with Christianity)

I believe it important that both believers and unbelievers understand the difference between the teaching of Eckhart Tolle and Christianity. Here's a brief post to introduce you to a few of the significant differences. (Note, I've just been exposed to Tolle, but it doesn't seem to take long to discern the differences) Context (the problem)Taken from here .: Despite Oprah and Eckhart's reduction of Christianity to but one "way" amongst many other equally legitimate ways to God, and their calling Christ a "revolutionary" who has been misunderstood by the Church, and who simply came to manifest "Christ-consciousness", a quick search through the internet reveals that many Christians are following Oprah in attempting to fuse together the teachings of Eckhart, and the doctrines of the historical Christian church. Great website to gain quick summary of Eckhart's beliefs/teachings: Ripples on the Surface of Being Key Responses by Eckhart To...
