Science and GodScience and God are not as closely related as many of us would like. This will be a brief article, because, as many of you know, science has been having a tough time going over the subject of God. Since they find it very difficult, they to keep going over "smaller", and in my opinion, less important things. Now, the ideas of science and God seem like opposites. Many people believe that currently science doesn't have the framework to understand "God". But it is pretty easy to understand the kind of difficulty, the scientists must be going through. As Fred Allan Wolf, in his book, Dr. Quantum's Little Book of Big Ideas, points out "Asking a human being to explain what God is is similar to asking a fish to explain the water in which the fish swims." A few scientists have made some conclusions about God, such as God is consciousness, and we all have it. They go on to conclude consciousness is always with consciousness. Some scientists have also realized that consciousness is the only real constant in our lives. As you probably know, consciousness can be very hard to describe, it is something that you must experience. Also, consciousness is always there, so sometimes it is taken for granted. Scientists stuck in the old paradigm, dismiss consciousness as a product of the brain. This old paradigm suggests evolution, and no life after death. Some leading-edge scientists (mainly quantum physicists) believe that we need to consider the alternative worldview but forth by metaphysical / spiritual teachigns in which consciousness is held as a fundamental component of reality. Many, are even beginning to accept the metaphysical belief that everything springs from the underlying well of consciousness. Everyday, science and God are becoming closer. It is only a matter of time till they meet again.
