Divine Sciences

The study of God (or the divine) as the ultimate object of scientific inquiry. This attempts to deduce the nature, attributes, and actions of the divine through observation of creation, reason, and perhaps divine revelation treated as data. It's theology with a lab coat, trying to find empirical evidence for Providence, miracles, or intelligent design in the fabric of the cosmos. The fundamental axiom is that the divine is not just a matter of faith, but an active, observable principle in reality.

Example: "The Institute for Divine Sciences published a paper correlating statistically anomalous positive outcomes in cancer patients with the intensity of collective prayer logged on their app. They called it 'measuring grace.' Statisticians called it 'p-hacking with angels.'"

Divine Hypothesis

A broader or more nuanced cousin to the God Hypothesis. It can refer to the proposition that there is a sacred, transcendent dimension to reality—whether personalized as a God or Gods, or impersonal as a Divine principle (like the Tao, Brahman, or the Logos). It's the hypothesis that there is a "More" to which spirituality, ritual, and religious experience connect us. This can encompass polytheism, pantheism, or panentheism, focusing on the quality of the sacred rather than a specific singular deity.

Example: "Her yoga wasn't just exercise. She followed the Divine Hypothesis: the idea that through focused breath and movement, she could align herself with a fundamental, intelligent energy (prana/shakti) that permeates and organizes the cosmos. The 'divine' wasn't a guy in the sky; it was the conscious, creative fabric of the universe itself, and her practice was a technology for plugging into it."
