Advancing Science with Dreams and Visions (Unabridged‪)‬

Science and faith are not opposed to each other! The fact is, you cannot have one without the other. Most technologists, scientists and engineers learn and use the scientific method in their jobs. The scientific method acknowledges before a hypothesis can be made, the inventor needs to have an idea outside the scientific body. Unfortunately, technical curriculum's do not teach how to receive and process a intuition, dream or gut feel. As a result, few people in tech jobs know how to get inspiration nor how to take inspiration to the next level where it's merits can be evaluated through a scientific process.


Scientific inspiration is a hot topic in business today. Many articles on the subject focus on creative productivity which has little to do with creativeness itself and in some cases, their recommendations undermine scientific creativity. New science requires an hypothesis that is usually generated from a non-scientific process, one that includes inspiration and faith that the idea is worth pursuing despite the current science that opposes it.


Many Christians are already trained in the inspiration processes that include divine inspiration, unpacking nonverbal messages and translating them for a person, team, organization or even our society. These same skills are useful to translate dreams, visions and other inspirations to develop scientific hypothesis' that, once developed by the scientific method, will advance science and technology. These principles are illustrated throughout the book as an example of unpacking divine inspiration and communicating that inspiration to a scientific team. The key example is a prophetic dream that enabled an analysis of a flight critical system on the International Space Station and saved millions of dollars.
