SCIENCE, UNITY, AND EARLY CHRISTOLOGY: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNEY TO BIBLICAL UNITARIANISM, VOLUME 1 AND 2

This dissertation examines the intellectual journey from atheism to Biblical Unitarianism through an integrated analysis of philosophical argumentation, scientific evidence, and biblical exegesis. The research introduces novel theoretical frameworks including the Divine Omnipathy Hypothesis and Providential Logos Hypothesis while critically examining classical arguments for God's existence and the inadequacies of neo-Darwinian evolution. Using a mixed-methods approach involving 1,062 participants, the study combines quantitative analysis with qualitative investigation. A science-religion survey (n=227) revealed 66.17% affirmed belief in deities, while 14.50% denied such existence. Focus groups with scholars (n=114) explored the compatibility of scientific and religious worldviews. Analysis of biblical interpretations (n=176) demonstrated significantly higher explicitness ratings for Unitarian-supporting passages (M=6.30) compared to Trinitarian-supporting passages (M=4.56). A survey examining atheism perceptions (n=538) showed a shift toward defining atheism as "active denial" post-etymology introduction, approaching significance in the agnostic subgroup (p=0.07). The research provides systematic examination of historical evidence for Christianity before undertaking extensive critique of Trinitarian doctrine through linguistic and theological analysis. Results demonstrate that scientific literacy correlates positively with receptiveness to Biblical Unitarian theology, while verses traditionally supporting Unitarian concepts show consistently higher explicitness ratings across diverse reader groups. Case studies document theological transformation patterns driven primarily by textual analysis and rational inquiry rather than emotional factors. This work contributes to theological scholarship by establishing a methodologically rigorous framework for evaluating theological transitions while offering a systematic defense of Biblical Unitarianism grounded in historical-critical methodology. The findings suggest that Biblical Unitarian theology provides a more historically and textually coherent understanding of early Christian belief than traditional Trinitarian interpretations, while maintaining compatibility with modern scientific understanding.
