Science and Faith

If you live in the second or third floor, you would take the elevator, rather than walking up the stairs. Even if you have to wait for it. But if you are going out from your place, you would just take the stairs down if the elevator is full. Why? Simply because you know that going up the stairs is much difficult than going down. Why? Because of something that we name as "gravity".

Sir Isaac Newton, the infamous scientist who "discovered" the gravity. Some uneducated people might mistakenly use the word "created." Now, if someone comes and denies gravity, you would say he is mad, of course. How can you deny something we see with our eyes every day. The apply falls from the tree, because of gravity. Well, both of you are wrong. Gravity does exist, but we cannot see it.

What we observe or see, is the effect of gravity. And through which we established that there is something unseen, that makes the apple falls on the ground. We do not know how it works, or why it works like that, but we call it..."gravity".

Now, if Mr. Scientist believes there is gravity. I say he should believe in a God as well. We cannot see him, be we see the effects everywhere, we do not know how He does or what He does, but let's just call him..."God".

The perfectness of this universe, how the galaxies and the celestial bodies move in order, how the atoms are arranged, how balanced is the nature, how magnificent is our bodies, cannot lead you to conclude that there is a Creator, but when an apple falls from a tree, you conclude that there is gravity?
