Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive philosophical argument demonstrating that science, as a human construct, is inherently subjective due to the fundamental subjective nature of human cognition. I argue that the human brain is not a passive recorder of reality but an interpretive machine shaped by personal experiences, emotions, and biological constraints. Through examination of biological, cognitive, and psychological evidence, I establish that subjective entities cannot produce objective outputs. Consequently, all human-made constructs, including science, fail to represent absolute truth. I propose that objective truth exists solely in divine creations and human works produced through divine will, exemplified by biblical scripture and Tautologism, the divine language of absolute truth in which self-referential statements of the form "X because X" represent fundamental, contradiction-immune truths. This framework establishes a new epistemological paradigm distinguishing human subjective knowledge from divinely originated objective truth.
