Can Science explain God?

E-mail Print

If there is God or a supreme intelligent designer of the universe, He must exist in a dimension beyond the material time and space that He generates and controls. Just as the engineer working at a television station operates in a more sophisticated environment than the person watching the television at home; there may exist in the universe higher and lower dimensions of material reality corresponding to different levels of material perception.

Can-scienceEssentially modern empirical science deals only with observable physical phenomena that are perceivable to our gross senses. Anything that doesn’t fit within this window is discarded and rejected as untruth. How illogical? This unscientific proposition has been reasonably handled under the topic “Four Limitations of the Conditioned Soul”.

Scientists have been engaged for centuries in a philosophical quest for an ultimate unity underlying the variegated universe. Today this takes the shape of the physicists’ search for a grand unified field theory to explain everything from subatomic particles to galactic clusters. Such endeavors to find a unifying material principle have, however, not been successful. Trying to explain a phenomenon of a higher dimension using experiences in a lower dimension will only lead to frustrating results. But we can understand the existence of such an ultimate unified phenomenon or God using reason and logic, which has been presented under the section “Does God Exist”.

Finally a call is submitted under the section “An Open Challenge” to all men and women possessing intelligent rationality to seek out the answers to the basic questions in life by pursuing the path of truth and knowledge. Only an enlightened human society can help save us from the dangers that are looming large over our heads.
