Man’s greatest battle has always been the battle to overcome himself. This simple truth has been all but forgotten in modern society. Before we dive into man’s greatest battle, let’s look at how we forgot one of the most important themes of human life and societal health. Scientific thinking has led to incredible advancements in tools, technology, and medicine that have completely transformed the quality of human life. It is best defined as a systematic, evidence-based way of figuring out how the world works. It has been the key to overcoming cognitive bias and its effects on our understanding of ourselves and the natural world. The unfortunate side effect of scientific thinking, however, is that we have disregarded and forgotten about wisdom that cannot be measured and empirically proven. Most truly important questions are beyond the reach of quantitative research. If we took the qualitative approach, then it would be overwhelmingly clear that God exists and the experiential spiritual life is real. Unfortunately, the scientific community has a hard time accepting qualitative testimony-based research. We have reduced truth to the numbers and data of hard science.
