Science without religion is lame; religion without science
is blind- Albert Einstein
Atheists don't believe in religion and believe only
in material. Material is all in all for them but one of the greatest scientists
Albert Einstein said- Science without religion is lame, religion without
science is blind. What it means that religion is a belief system. If there is
no bold guess how scientists display the reality existing. It's true that there
is fat in milk but can we separate ghee from the milk with our finger as we can
separate chaff from rice. Indeed not but we can if we churn it. In the same way,
we know that there is electricity in water. Can we turn on tube light in water?
What do we need? Certainly it needs turbine to generate electricity from water.
So is the potentiality of every human being. Every human being has the
strength, knowledge and existence. Gandhi said- strength does not come from
physical capacity. It comes from the indomitable will. Every human being has
knowledge but he/she cannot prove his/her wisdom. If everyone is able to use
the knowledge change it into skill, it will be fruitful. Having knowledge
remains useless until it is changed into skill. Your strength and knowledge can have existence
only if you are able to separate chaff from rice, butter from milk and
electricity from the water.
Without faith we human beings can do nothing else.
Whatever we call science and scientific discovery are the output of the faith
of some laborious men who were able to do something else differently. Newton
was not the first man to see the falling apple from the tree but everyone used
to see the happening every day in the season. But why only Newton raised the question
to his inner soul and later he found it that it was due to the gravitation of
the earth. Every human's soul is the God whom we can neither see the soul nor
tell the lie to it. It is the faith. It is the God that always tells the truth.
If anyone says he is an atheist, he is ignoring to his own existence.
Materialism is necessary to survive. We may say what religion gives. Can it
give us food to eat, clothe to wear and hut to reside? It gives us everything
but if we are against religion, it may create conflict among people. If there
is no religion, human beings can be no different to the hybrid chickens. A true
religious person can develop him as a good man. A good man is remembered
everywhere. Everyone remembers him as the good one through the heart but on the
other hands the great ones are remembered but not through the soul.
In the name of materialism, there may be conflict in
the society. It may cause bloodshed in the end. But religions give knowledge to
live in harmony. Martin Luther King said- Hate cannot drive out hate: only love
can do. Love and hate are the two sides
of human beings. One side leads to the peace and harmony which is the part of
spiritualism but on the other side there is hate. It is demonic and leads to
the bloodshed. The necessity of so called modern world is to guide the people
towards religions. No religion sparks to the people to quarrel, fight and
destroy. Every religion suggests people live in harmony, love the younger and
respect the senior are the motto of each religion. Demonic nature developed in
human beings is the output of ignorance but having positive thinking, sympathy, mercy,
etc are the symptoms of spiritualism. Religion should not have any
superstition. It must have fact that can be tested. Birth is the messenger of
death. When someone gets birth it's sure that his birth is messenger for death
and life for doing and shows his worth of living as a human being. More or less
science and religion are related to each other. Their existence is there only
if there is indomitable faith. It's the faith which can create harmony and it's
the faith that leads you to the destruction. It's your faith that can make you
strong and it's the faith that makes you feeble. How you take your life.
Both science and religion are related each other.
Science can be tested in no time but not the religion. To create harmony in the
society, spiritualism plays a vital role. The faith in religion is stronger
than the law of nation. If you avoid the regulation of the nation police come
and take you to the court to justify you as an abuser of the law. But science
has fact and can show other to believe. People cannot avoid the religious
beliefs thinking that it may harm to the entire family. In religion if one does
a mistake it may effect to all but in science that finds or performs may be the
winner and loser himself and do accordingly. Both the science and religion are
dependent to each other. Faith is all in all both in science and religion.
