Why "Christian Science" is a Redundant Term

Put simply, Christianity projects a fictional reality based on assumptions (ideology) that themselves have their foundation in the specifically Christian description of the theos. Science, that is, modern mathematical science, as opposed to other forms of knowledge acquisition, measures that projection of reality and no other. Western science is thus by definition ontotheological Christian science.

'Scientific atheists', or secular humanists, or whatever their current favoured self-description happens to be, both assume the Christian theos and deny it simultaneously. The founding assumptions of science have no basis without the specifically Christian projection of the nature of the theos, mathematical projection has no justification in terms of believing it describes reality, nor do theories or the experiments designed to justify them have any meaning in terms of describing reality. They measure and describe the projection of reality they began with, which is inherently a Christian projection.

Were a non-believer) to deny the possibility of a being that has the attributes of the Christian theos in a non-contradictory manner (an a-theist has by definition accepted the theist assumptions, and merely calculated the number of existent theos to zero - a calculation that affects nothing of consequence since the assumptions about the theos remain intact), that non-believer would have to also abandon the assumptions that arise from it and have no alternative justification, such as:

• the privileged vantage point (and with it privilege in general)


• the notion that a concept is anything more than an abstract fiction


• the possibility of projecting "reality as a whole" either imaginatively or (which comes down to the same thing) mathematically


• the belief that theory is anything more than a convenient fiction that under certain circumstances can roughly predict behaviour


• the belief that an experiment can demonstrate anything universal.

The result? All of the tenets and methods of post-Cartesian science must be abandoned along with any faith that the results of those methods demonstrate anything other than that theory predicts and experiment demonstrates what was always implicit in the initial, fictional, and inherently Christian mathematical projection.

This ideological projection is, in fact, the common sense world as most westerners experience it. The question that poses itself, at this point, is whether an experience of reality that does not require ideology (belief, faith) is possible. The way that self-consciousness experiences itself and reality inherently requires ideology due to its hermeneutic basis. But is there a demonstrated experience of reality that both includes the experience of self-consciousness, while going beyond it in a manner where ideology becomes irrelevant? While such an experience has been explicitly described by a good number of people, to those who have not themselves experienced it at best one can demonstrate its possibility, due simply to the limitations of self-conscious conceptual thinking.
