The solidness of Truth, the flimsiness of error

From the May 1980 issue of The Christian Science Journal


After referring to a respected British natural science magazine, an American publication recently summed up the prediction of some physicists investigating the cosmic phenomenon of black holes: ". . . according to these theorists, the ultimate end of the universe will be a state in which matter has ceased to exist, space and time are torn and distorted out of meaning, and even the large-scale architecture of the universe, which now seems to be so symmetric and ordered, is reduced to utter and final chaos. Not only will the house of cards collapse, but the cards themselves will be torn to shreds and hopelessly scattered. ' Reality ' seems destined for self-annihilation. " Dewey Schwartzenburg, "Does Cosmology Have a Future?" Astronomy, July 1979, p. 37;

Much food for thought for the modern thinker! But such a picture seems improbable to most people.

Christian Science shows God's reality to be timeless and spiritual. Human thinking, spiritually unenlightened, would resist the self-annihilation of physical, so-called reality. It would turn the divine state of things upside down, so that Truth, everlasting Deity, seems dubious, even flimsy; and error, concrete and un-shiftable. Divine Science puts things up the right way so that we discover God-made reality. Then Science shows us how to keep our perception of things up the right way.
