Letter to a Christian Scientist:

Yes, Christian Science is very unique.
Every other denomination relys solely on the parabolic (metaphorical)
doctrine established by
Jesus in the NT. NO Christian denomination makes ANY statement about the
literal scientific
explanation of God- except for Christian Science.
Mary Baker Eddy explicitly identified God as "the mind", and Heaven as
a "mental state" (Prose
Works, p. 174, line 24). This is a scientific milestone in the history of
religion.
Of course her formulation is based on 19th century Science and has not
changed significantly for
135 years, while Science itself has literally exploded during the past
century.
In 1870 when Science & Health was written, Science was utterly
primitive. Maxwell's theory of
Electromagnitism was not discovered until 1873, Boltzman's statistical
Thermodynamics not until
1890, Einstein's Relativity not until 1915, Quantum theory not until 1920.
Fully 95% of existing
Science today, was UNKNOWN when Mary Baker Eddy formulated Christian
Science!
By 1950 20th century Science had totally supplanted 19th century
Science, and this corresponds to
the high water mark of Christian Science and the beginning of a half
century decline in Mary Baker
Eddys 19th century formulation of religion. What the Christian Science
leadership is unaware of, is
that there is no rejuvination of CS possible without a corresponding
scientific advance in CS
itself. No amount of cable television, library building or any other such
busywork is going to
avoid the necessity of another milestone scientific advance in CS itself.
Amazingly, the sheer size of the 20th century scientific expansion has
delivered such a miracle
to the very doorstep of the CS church! A stunning modern physics
discovery has been made in the
theory of the human mind- a miraculous advance for the core theory of
Christian Science. The human
mind has been discovered to be relativistically "curved", and therefore
20% of reality invisible,
and this simple scientific discovery explains literally what God and
Heaven is, and is measureable
to two decimal point accuracy. Mary Baker Eddy's historic theory has now
been stunningly proved,
and miraculously advanced. Christian Science, is now a real "hard
science".
This is the new miracle, the second miracle of Christian Science, and it
is no more suprising
than the first miracle. It is simply the advance of Science itself which
has effected it.
Well.... obviously the agenda for Christian Science is now clear. It is
this fundamental advance
in the CS canon which is to be the miraculous second wind of CS. Yes, CS
theology has just advanced
a full 135 years right into the center of 21st century life. Once again,
CS is to be at the
forefront of Christian Theology, and to be reenergized and to be even more
influential, more
brilliant, and more vital and relevant than it ever was before!
So... yes.... there is a CS scientist "out there somewhere" who I can
talk to about this, and I
simply have to find him, hopefully with your help and inspiration.
