Quantum Theory—Sciences/Scientism
Stewards come from all Abrahamic
and diverse spiritual traditions. As stated
before, there is no Scientism authority or scripture.
Stewards use varied sets of creatively imaginative
languages and imageries to capture and express their
sense of how knowing as a relationship occurs.
For many Stewards
the emergence of Quantum
theory and its associated sciences has
created
a scientific language which requires discussing hard science
as a knowing born from within a relationship.
For some, Quantum
describes
a “weird
science,” where most of the former “rules
of science” (Newtonian
science) no longer explain the Quantum world. For example,
in the Quantum world light can be both a wave and a point of
energy.
Again, something
can be in two places at the same time. Further, truth, certainty,
and reality can never be found or reached, only approached
or approximated.
What Stewardship scientism sees in
the Quantum universe is a mysterious, somewhat mirthful, bizarre and playful dimension.
This, then, is their creatively imagining starting point.
It is a universe
in which the observer is told that they are part of what
they are observing. That their simple individual and personal
act of observing changes the
reality of what they
are investigating. While the language and imagery of this
weird Quantum world is not that of everyday
culture, it inspires Stewardship
advocates who claim that they sense that
what the Quantum world is enabling them to see is that
humans are part of
something which they
will never comprehend. That
all human worlds are and can
be creatively imagined and by so
doing
actually come into existence.
