Science plays a role that just cannot be denied in our lives, explaining certain occurrences observed in nature and, thus, always changing the boundaries of what we know. While knowledge in science has grown significantly, there is still more about existence that science seems unable to clearly explain.
To some people, their only hope is science; anything more than what the eyes can see does not exist. The truth of the matter, however, is that by so doing, they inadvertently narrow their worldview and shut themselves off from other ways of knowing, which could give them deeper understanding.
Regarding this, the most debated arguments have to do with believing in the existence of a supreme being, say for instance, God. Those individuals who somehow depend on just sciences, find it challenging to believe in the existence of a superior being owing to the simple fact that God just can not be taken to physical tests or experiments.
Science necessitates observable and measurable data. Since one cannot quantify the divine, others deny the existence of God altogether. I will argue that just because something cannot be measured by available scientific methods today, it does not have to mean that it doesn't exist. A man is capable of creating such modalities of technology that even he himself does not understand.
Therefore, then it will be quite reasonable to consider the fact that the force or entity that created the universe may themselves be far from any comprehension by the human race. I know I firmly believe in a higher power, and though I understand people can have their own beliefs given a person's own personal experiences and encounters, it's very difficult not to think that there must be something more of a cause behind the details of our universe.
The very well-structured and orderly nature found within all of nature points to the possibility of a strong yet intelligent entity orchestrating all,God. It is true that science gives us remarkable tools toward understanding the world's mechanics, yet it does not explain why those mechanics exist in the first place.
A few months ago, I visited the Winchester Science Centre and Planetarium, which definitely nurtured a far greater respect in the wonders that science creates. It is a science centre that is created to bridge complex scientific concepts and everyday understanding. I was able to understand the science involved with things we all take so for granted: gravity, energy, the structure of the universe. That hands-on experience reminded me of just how powerful technology is and how it really enables us to do things that would have been unimaginable only a few short decades ago. Below are some of the pictures I took during my tour at the the Science Centre.
While I was thrilled by the advancements in science and technology at the centre, I didn't feel, as others perhaps did, that science and spirituality need be opposing forces. Science may describe the 'how,' but spirituality or belief in a higher power seems to offer insight into the 'why.' The existence of technology that surpasses our full comprehension may be a reflection of the universe itself: huge, complicated, and finally created by something bigger than ourselves.
I would say science is unmistakably a potent tool that gives us an understanding of the world and empowers us in so many ways. Yet we must always be open to those things that might not be explained by science. Belief in a higher power or in forces beyond the empirical world takes nothing away from the validity of science; it supplements our thoughts on the universe and our place within it.
no not at all.
I think so, there are things beyond just the understanding of scientific theories
