Science

Ever since I stopped believing in God I began to notice how important science is in life. Thanks to Triumph Church as well as New Life Christian Fellowship. This is only a personal experience and does not mean that anyone who is a Christian, Muslim, or Buddhist are ignorant towards science. I know many religious people who are very knowledgeable in the science field. On the contrary I also know many non-religious people who are very knowledgeable in science as well.

Science has never really been a forte of mine but I've always had an appreciation for it. To question how the universe began is to look deep into science for such answers. One could say that their religion is the answer to the question. Whether it is Christianity or even Islam, the answer on how the universe began is by having faith and to believe in God. Say if this premise was true, can science really ever determine if a God exists? As a non-believer, I am completely convinced that there is no God. However, science is the only key to finding absolute truth about a complex universe (A realistic point of view). Who knows? Maybe the universe itself is God (not supernaturally) and we are all a part of it as we are all linked together somehow.

The beauty of science is also revealed in medicine. From a humanist point of view, it is truly a miraculous thing that cures have been found for many diseases. Technology has also played a role in being mindful of human health. The doctors that exist in today's world know so much about human health because of scientists who have discovered ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I am sincerely amazed by how much science has grown over the past 200 or 300 years. We are very fortunate to be the most intelligent species on this planet. It is rather difficult to question life from a philosophical perspective but with science comes great knowledge in absolute truth. I like it! :D
