Science-----Truth or an Ideology
Ever since man set foot on this planet, he has been
searching for Truth of this Universe and its Creation. Since ancient times he
postulated various theories regarding it. Religions which came at later date also
tried to solve this riddle in their own way. Man started worshipping Sun, Rain,
Wind etc., forces affecting his life but not under his control. His worshipping
of stars gave birth to a religion. Thus started Idol worship. His continuous
pursuit for knowing truth of this Universe led him from Idol worship to non-idol
worship and from multiple Gods to single God. To authenticate religious ideas
various stories were added to religious manuscripts.
Science which is just a few centuries old started
dismantling religious beliefs on the pretext of lack of proof of these beliefs.
Science came up with its own version of Creation.It stated there is no role of
God in creation of this Universe. Science stated that this Universe came into existence
from a Primal matter. According to it this Primal matter had a Big bang 13.7
billion years ago .According to this Big bang theory this Universe had a
beginning. Time and space also had beginning. This Primal matter was later
labeled Singularity. This Singularity did not explode as is commonly believed;
instead it started expanding and cooling. This process of expansion is
continuing even today. Movement of Stars was explained by various physical laws
including Gravity. Newton, father of gravitation laws stated that masses in
Universe attract other masses with a force that is proportional to the product
of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance
between them. This science of law continued to be believed till Theory of
Relativity came. Theory of relativity attributed to great Einstein
revolutionized laws of gravity told by Newton. Theory of relativity said that
gravitation is an attribute of curved space time instead of being due to a
force propagated between bodies. According to Einstein energy and momentum
distort space time in vicinity. It is quite obvious from this that science is
changing its stance with new finds and knowledge.
With advent of Quantum physics [physics at subatomic level] science
has come out with new ideas. It now says that matter has no locality. Matter
exists if we observe it. It confirms that Universe we see is an illusion [3D
hologram]. All matter is but energy which is in vibration. There are parallel
Universes with different laws of physics. It also says from nothing came
Consciousness, Energy, Space,Time, Mind, and later Matter. It also says that
this Universe is Creation of Intelligence. It also admits that predictions of
science are probabilistic. It is strange that science on hand says that
Universe is result of Intelligence yet same is not compatible with its
mathematical expression of this Universe. So science today is in dilemma. It
calls religious assertions bereft of proof yet acknowledges that its assertions
are probabilistic.
Once Universe was formed after Big Bang, scientists started
dating events on planet Earth. Science says life of Earth is 4.5billion years,
life on earth2.5billion and Man on earth just 200,000 years old. This dating of
events is radiometric, using Uranium, Potassium and even Carbon.
The concept of science that from nothing came matter goes
against scientific assertion [from nothing cannot come something]. There are
other problems with Big Bang theory. Why is matter unequally distributed in
Universe, who made physical laws, why some stars move in retrograde motion[this
is against law of conservation of angular movement] are some problems Big Bang
theorists cannot explain.
Did life start on Earth itself or was triggered by someone? When
Darwin in1829 published, “Origin of species” scientific community pounced on it
despite its short comings because idea suited to their Ideology as it
eliminated role of God. Evolutionary theory is based on two principlesi,e
Mutation and natural selection, both not observed. Evolutionary theory meant
that Man is descendent of Apes.
Question now comes to mind, is Evolutionary theory correct?
Religions believe there is a Creator and Creation is spontaneous but science
says there is no Creator and life has come in stages i,e simple life evolved into
complex life. Similarities in early stages of development of species led Darwin
to believe in common ancestry? Darwin himself had said that, “If my theory be true,
there must have been numberless intermediate species”. No intermediate species
fossils have been found till today, this goes against evolution. Graptolites
believed to be long extinct have been spotted in south pacific. Coelacanth fish
believed extinct 325 mil years ago has been spotted in ocean in 1960, 142mil
old fossil of a bird has been found in China. There is a crow sized bird in Albuquerque
museum. These finds go against the spirit of evolution. It is interesting to
note that 95% fossil records are marine and invertebrates, 4.5% of plants and
only 1% of vertebrates. Presence of Topsy Turvy fossils also are points against
evolution. Dinosaurs believed to have
died 65mil years back yet their presence is recorded in various civilizations.Calfornia
gold miners discovered human fossils which Dr Witney dated 50 mil in age.
Journal of Geology 1862 published an article wherein humans remains enmeshed in
rocks were dated 300mil old. Human foot prints were found in Mexico, Arizona,
and Illinois---250 mil old. In Turkmenistan dinosaur tracts along human prints
have been found. At Angor wat temple in Cambodia there is a picture of
Stegosaurs carved, Dinosaur figurines buried at foot of El Toro Mountain have
been found. In INCA painting dinosaurs are shown attacking men. Records of Greek
historian Herodotus and Jewish historian Josephus describe flying reptiles in
ancient Egypt. If dinosaurs died 65mil years back, how could so many
civilizations know exactly what they looked like? Answer, they drew what they
saw. Is dinosaur story a case of knowledge pilfering by scientists of today to
suite their interests? There are 10 proven dinosaur sites of which Dinosaur
valley park, Burdick track and provincial park Canada are famous.Presence of complex creatures Precambrian and Cambrian period also go against evolutionary theory. Darwin theory can not explain how species originated. It has suggested mechanism how a species can get stronger and better. It throws no light on how a species can change in to new one.Most of the species have left no records. Out of 30 billion species ,there are fossils of just 250 ,000 species only.
It has not been
possible to change one species in to another despite all scientific advances.
Science has not been able to produce life out of that which was not life. Is
evolution an Ideology? Fossils found contradict it.Arthur Keith while writing
forward for 100 th edition of Darwin’s book wrote, “Evolution is not proven nor
is provable”. Crick ,co discoverer of DNA suggested earth was deliberately seeded with life by intelligent Aliens.
When one goes to dating of fossils one notices that it is
done by radio metrics using isotopes of Uranium, Potassium and Carbon. Carbon14
which has half-life of 5730 years cannot be used beyond 40000---60000 years
with accuracy because of its half-life. Uranium is very useful in dating. By
radiometric dating age of rock can be found. In rocks are fossils hence can be
indirectly dated as fossils as such contain no isotope. It is igneous rocks
which have isotope. Fossil cannot form in igneous rock as it is very hot.
Fossils form instead in Sedimentary rocks. This means there is bound to be some
inaccuracy in fossil dating. Even renaming of some fossils has put
evolutionists in disrepute, example:--
“”Nautilus Pompilius is Cymatoceras Texanum of fossils ,Mush
room coral is Cyclolites Undulata and Globin Shark is Scapanorynchus Mitsukurina of fossil”.
CONCLUSION:-
Is science on the side of truth or religion both having
divergent view points on Creator and Creation? If one listens to young Earth
Creationist who want you to believe in Bible literally, this world is just 6000
years old, created by God. This is despite the fact that we have been able to
find human civilizations as old as 5000—7000BC. Science tells us there is no
God but believes in some intelligence behind this Creation. It also admits its
assertions are probabilistic. Evolutionary theory of Darwin has many loop holes.
Not finding of intermediate species fossils is nagging problem for
evolutionists. Even fossil dating is confusing. Is it not right time for west
to look to East and learn from its wisdom?. VEDIC culture which flourished in
India long before west came out of darkness has some answers to scientific queries.
Bhagwat Purana gives not only an account of details of Cosmology but even gives
details of Creation [Metaphorically]. Time as 4th dimension which
west started to believe in Twentieth century was known to Vedantists long back
[3000BC]. Vedantists talked of measurement of Time, Time travel and even said that
this world in which we live is an illusion [MAYA]. Science also now tells that
this world could be a 3D hologram.Puranas also talk of time flowing at
different rates for different observers. It also talks of relativity of time
and space, a fact acknowledged by science hardly a few decades back.Puranas
also say that physical laws are intrinsic to the Universe and these also
evolve, a mystery still baffling scientists even today. Is n’t Purana knowledge
ahead of its time and present science?
Sri Krishna in holy Bhagvat Gita says,” I am not in space,
space is in me”. Science also says now that “SPACE is in Singularity and not
vice versa”. Time travel for science today is far distant hope but Vedantists
did travel in space not in any vehicle but by Sadhana [Meditation]. There are
dozens of books available in India wherein we are told how Rishi’s [Hindu
scientists] travelled in space/ Galaxies. There is a book called Agasthya
Purana where author tells us that a man
can dissolve into 5 elements by his will at particular focal point, travel in
space, comeback and reform at same focal point:--.
