Only the most fanciful interpretations and strenuous apologetics can align Scriptures with science, and even then they fail to explain everything from dark energy to wave-particle duality to the periodic bombardment of the Earth by huge bits of rubble left over from the formation of the solar system.

A vision of the previously flawed but now upgradeable primate, once known as mankind, will finally emerge, understood in its true nature--a dynamic holographic pattern integrity, surfing the wholly extended wave-particle structure of the universe.

It would be many years later that Schumann would discover the resonance of the earth and prove that it had its own wave-particle pattern and that it can be altered by the surrounding universe and any number of other external influences.

The discovery of wave-particle duality in 1924 (by Louis de Broglie) and quantum uncertainty in 1927 (by Heisenberg) made quantum physics as much a branch of philosophy as science, stirring arguments that continue to the present day about how to interpret what the equations are telling us.
