Analytical Science
Analytical science knows to let factual data speak for themselves. Any attempt to assuage or force these data beyond their own inherent message leads to failure. That is, when these results are forced into select preconceived patterns, the analysts themselves will lose sight of what the true results really are. Consequently, their future results will be interpreted incorrectly as well.
Procedures in doubt, too
Worse yet, the analysts will lose sight of what is happening with their analytical procedures. All of the small but natural data clues that indicate how well these procedures are working, including those from the data-gathering devices used in them, are also lost in the shuffle.
Three reasons for padding scientific data
self-aggrandizement organizational needs. Others might think preferred results will guarantee their employment and organizational security. In the long run then, neither the analysts nor their employers will know whether their analytical procedures are working correctly, except for the forced appearances obtained by falsifying their scientific results. In short, neither one knows the difference between which results are forced or real, anymore.
Theology
The worldly forces surrounding us want to control this relationship any way they can. Ploys One ploy is to get us to thinking we must get along with the worldly needs to survive or to have a happy life. It also causes us to co-depend on pettiness and malice to reach the successes and securities we seek.
Conclusion
Both scientific and theological successes require strict disciplines to maintain honest results and healthy living. Yet, numerous worldly ploys do not want us to know the differences between what is false or real in these respects. Our best defense against these ploys is to keep our higher selves nurtured and built-up through spiritual practices which will fortify our connections with the real truth, God’s.
