Leading A Spiritual Life
Building an institution without first laying a solid
foundation is like building sandcastles, which soon
crumble away.
The Concept of God
Scientists have only discovered the creation. But the discovery
of the Creator also occurs along with the discovery of the
creation.
any people who call themselves ‘secular’ claim that
MGod has no real existence. “God is a great invention
of man,” they say. The fact, however, is that man is a
great creation of God!
Since ancient times, philosophers have been
discussing the question of the existence of God, but they
have been unable to arrive at any conclusive position
on the matter. Galileo and Newton ushered in a new,
scientific way of thinking.
God is not the subject of science. Scientists say their
subject of study is ‘Nature’. But what is nature? It is
simply another name for the creation. In other words,
science is the study of nature without reference to God.
In Newton’s time, scientists believed that the universe
had a ‘mechanical design’. Later, Ernest Rutherford
discovered that the universe had a ‘meaningful design’.
