Scientific Proof of God
confirms Christian Science

    Mary Baker Eddy wrote Science and Health with Keys to the Scriptures in 1870.  In 1879 she obtained a charter to found the Christian Science Church.  In the following 125 years Christian Science attracted millions of members with churches in nearly every city in America and in over 75 foreign countries.  The Mother Church in Boston is now a well known religious landmark.  The Christian Science church also publishes the Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper, the Christian Science Monitor.
    The following discussion of Christian Science will dwell on only the "scientific" aspects of  Christian Science theology inasmuch as it is intended to show that the principles of Christian Science are identically coincident with the results of the scientific proof of God discovered by George Hammond in 1997.
    Above all else, Mary Baker Eddy is famous for stating that "God is mind".  She is not the first one to state this.  Bishop Berkeley published a similar theory as early as 1710.  However, Mary Baker Eddy is the only one in history who has ever successfully founded a major religion upon this principle.  It is that historical fact that gives an undeniable respectability and credence to the doctrine.
    The first thing that anyone who has read the first 4 pages of my website will realize, is that Hammond is saying the same thing, in fact, Hammond has found a 2-decimal point scientific proof of it.  According to Hammond's discovery, "God" is the effect on the human mind (particularly visual perception) of the Brain Growth Deficit caused by the Secular Trend in human growth.  The growth deficit causes the "size and speed" of the world to change.  According to this, certainly the statement "God is mind" is scientifically confirmed.
    In fact, a closer reading of Mary Baker Eddy reveals an even more detailed concordance with Hammond's discovery.  On page 174, lines 23-24 of Prose Works, she says:

                      The kingdom of heaven is the reign of
                      divine Science:  it is a mental state.

Here we have a direct corroboration from the vast historical sweep of Christian Science that "heaven is a mental state".  And that is exactly what Hammond's discovery proves.  Specifically, this "mental state" is proven to be a "perceptual state", that is, it is the missing perception that belongs to the ungrown part of the human brain, and which, is "spiritually" cognizant to the individual.  Using modern Psychometry, the "size of heaven" can actually be scientifically measured.
    In fact, an even more elaborate reference to the "brain growth deficit", which is caused by the human physical growth deficit itself, can be found on page 97 of the same volume, lines 25-32:

                       To my sense, we have not seen all of man;
                       he is more than personal sense can cognize,
                       who is the image and likeness of the infinite.
                       I have not seen a perfect man in mind or
                       body,--  and such must be the personality
                       of him who is the true likeness:  the lost
                       image is not this personality, and corporeal
                       man is this lost image; hence, it doth not appear
                       what is the real personality of man.

Here Mary Baker Eddy is referring to the full grown man as the "perfect man" and the "true likeness" of God.  She refers to actual man (not fully grown) as the "lost image" of God.  She also observes that she has never seen a "perfect man".  All of this is in direct accord with Hammond's demonstration that the Secular Trend Growth Deficit is the biological explanation of God… vis a vis the brain growth deficit which explains why "God is mind".  "God" is the perfect mind, that is, the mind of a full grown human being, and such a person has never existed on the face of the Earth according to the Secular Trend, Jesus of Nazareth notwithstanding.
    Clearly, a reading of Science and Health shows that every facet and detail of Mary Baker Eddy's theology falls with exact coincidence on the scientific explanation of God discovered by Hammond.  There is simply no question, that both Hammond and Eddy are in complete agreement on the scientific phenomenology of God.  Christian Science is of course more than a theory at this point, it is a vast experimental, social and historic success.  Hammond's work on the other hand is purely a scientific theory, although confirmed by experimental Psychometry data and axiomatic Relativity theory.  I am here to merely suggest, that the utter convergence of these two vast and different historical occurrences of the same result, constitutes an overwhelming proof of the scientific discovery.
