Believing Science

Recently a close friend of mine wrote

I'm one frustrated soul in a population of 1.2 billion. I do not believe in god nor in science. Did you see god?electron? We live in a world full of assumptions theories and lies. Many have abitons, goals and what not? Some succeed some not. I strongly believe in "reaching  your goals is not the reward, the .........Read more at http://vignanprakash.blogspot.com/



I have to admit that your question would have been quite acceptable if you were 14 or 15 years old.Science is bluntly put "The study of the surroundings" . An electron cannot be seen is true but can you see the radiations that your mobile, radio , dish TV emit / receive ?? Many invisible things exist in this universe . Firstly you have to understand how our eyes work. The human eyes can only detect radiations within a certain range of frequencies which means that you cant see what other creatures see. For example : A bee can see things in the ultraviolet spectrum which a human cant. A cat can see much much better than you and me can.

In the following chart which is called the electromagnetic spectrum lie all the frequencies. The colorful  part is the called the visible spectrum i.e what your eye can detect. We are blind to the rest of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Science is all about evidence. If something is proved wrong(factually, not ethically/morally) all scientists will accept the fact and accept the change. That my friend is the beauty of science. Nothing is fixed(Of course somethings are pakka) and nothing is loose. The simplest proof/s that science is not merely a bunch of vague theories are the gadgets you use everyday.

Just think about it.

Coming to the concept of god i share a similar perspective, however my belief is based on a much sounder logic than merely "Can you see god??" I think it is highly unlikely that something visible, invisible had intentionally and consciously created the universe. I don't believe in the existence of an all knowing being. Its merely a "annam tinakapothe boochodu etthukupotadu " kind of story that grand ma's tell to toddlers.

Finally i want to tell you that im glad to find someone who thinks. You are very much the same vignan that i knew irrespective of what you project to the outside world.
