The argument about light, among physicists (and any physicists will likely point out that this will be highly simplified), has long been whether light travels in particles or in waves. For the most part, it depends upon what you look for. If you're looking for evidence of particles, you'll find it. If you look for evidence of waves, you'll find it. And maybe, light even responds to what you're looking for.
I've often used this illustration with the performing arts. You can't control what the audience sees because you can't control what the audience is looking for. And sometimes, the audience does influence the performance, whether they're finding what they're looking for or not. (It works both ways with performance, of course. Sometimes the performers get the audience they're looking for.)
Similarly, I find it one of the great mysteries of my religious life that some people read the Bible and grow in judgment while others read the Bible and grow in grace.
I think I'll just leave it at that today.
