I am here to deal with a topic that has remained a controversial one for centuries. Science and religion have always been in opposition to each other to this day. The issue has aggravated with many great scientists having lived a very religious life and have confessed their faith boldly to the astonishment of many.

Let us look at the issue closer.

Religion is a set of beliefs that touches the heart to the core of every human being. Science has always appealed to the intellect of man. Science always depended on experiments, observations, recordings, repetitions, verifications and deductions. The scientific way always rested on proven laws that governed the behavior of everything – from the celestial bodies to the smallest atom. Religion, on the other hand, never sought for proof, never sought for logical reasoning to support its matters of faith. A religious person could somehow never doubt what he believed in his heart. Though there was a serious and wide disconnect between what he believed and what he saw, heard or felt physically, the spiritual aspect in him somehow always left a void in him that could be filled only by the supernatural.

Here is a paradox that I want to focus on at this moment. While religious people have tried to align their beliefs with universally accepted facts many of which have been established without doubt over decades of research, science has started inclining towards religion unobserved and in a very subtle way.

Take for example, the topic of evolution. While man has always believed that everything came into existence by supernatural creation – God created everything firsthand - a big chunk of scientific fraternity has lately adopted a very unscientific approach explaining away the reason for the existence of everything – living and non-living. Out of the various steps involved in the scientific method, they have dared to skip the vital first steps but have only been able to observe the unrepeatable and record what they have observed. Then, they try to push their deductions as proven truths while there are not any concrete evidence to support these so called proofs. They venture into something that they know little about or understand but take courage to come out with theories that never stand any serious tests. In fact, they force people to believe what they tend to present as facts which at many times contradict each other when observed from the top.

A small illustration might help here.

There was a research scholar who wanted to study the behavior of a frog when exposed to music. The frog jumped with its four legs, seemingly happy to the music. He cut off one of its hind limbs and recorded his observation. The frog jumped with its three legs. He removed one of its forelimbs and the frog continued with its two remaining legs. One more of the limbs was amputated but the frog continued to jump with its lonely limb. The research scholar was curious. He severed the last limb and now played the music again. This time there was no reaction from the frog. Here is what the research scholar came up with as his discovery – “A frog loses all its abilities to hear – (read it - becomes deaf) when it loses all its limbs”.

This is the state of science today. While the attempts to observe and record the observations are commendable, the conclusion derived from such observations are only diabolical.

It does not matter to me what the supposed head of the Christian church worldwide (read - the Pope) believes (in fact, he is not the head – many Bible believing Christians don’t recognize him so. The Bible says Christ is the Head of His Church) – I believe in God and His act of supernatural creation. And, I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God who took away the sin of the whole world through his death on the cross and then, rose again the third day. I also believe that he is coming again, this time as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, to judge the whole world. While I am clear about what I believe, I never seek to explain why I believe it. It is a matter of my faith and I believe it with all of my heart.
