A Logical Antidote to Guilt

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
(Romans 3:21-23) ESV

Scientific advancement has reached the point where we really can know the answers to some of the questions that people have wondered about for millennia.

Written on Our Hearts

For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them
(Romans 2:14-15) ESV

The Bible tells us that the truth about God has been made known to us all. It also tells us that the moral law of God has been written on our hearts. When we consider the events of the first day, up to and including the development of cellular life with replicating DNA, it’s not too far fetched to propose that the word of God was encoded on that day.

We are Without Excuse

For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
(Romans 1:20) ESV

The beauty of nature is proof of God. We know right from wrong. Disbelief is active, not passive, it’s not the default state. Popular science (SciPop) is an attempt to account for human existence in such a way that it appears God isn’t necessary.

God has Shown it to Us

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
(Romans 1:18-19) ESV

Our conscience is why we experience guilt. We don’t have to be told when we’ve done something wrong: we know. We may act like it doesn’t matter but we still know that we did something wrong because of guilt.

My guilt overwhelms me— it is a burden too heavy to bear.
(Psalms 38:4) NLT

Guilt is the fact of having committed a breach of conduct especially violating law and involving a penalty, the state of one who has committed an offense especially consciously, feelings of deserving blame especially for imagined offenses or from a sense of inadequacy, a feeling of deserving blame for offenses.
– Guilt, definition (Merriam-Webster)

Conscience

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
(Hebrews 9:13-14) KJV

Our conscience is proof that the mainstream science narrative of godless existence (SciPop) is false. That means hell is real, but then so is heaven. The difference between heaven and hell is faith in Jesus Christ.

Clear as Crystal

And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
(Revelation 21:9-14) KJV

Denying the truth about God so that we may live an immoral life with no guilt has a glitch: we all still have guilt. Faith in popular science (SciPop) leads to the agony of unconfessed sin.

Mainstream Science has Failed

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
(Romans 1:18-23) ESV

Mainstream science (SciPop) and the scientific method as the arbiter and judge of human knowledge has failed in two ways: to abide by it’s own rules; and it’s failed to deliver on it’s promises.
