Faith(Part 2) :Collecting The Evidences

Heaveno!!

I am feeling elated after going through the positive reviews I received (I am an extremely unpopular figure on the social network so please don't interpret that I am inundated with fan mails!) on my last post "Faith (Part 1)- Buying your Ammeter." The last post gave a glimpse of the duality between Science and Spirituality.They are not different but correlated.Like the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that at " You cannot measure the position and momentum of a body at the same time with cent per-cent accuracy" (Techies please don't behead me if the aforementioned principle has a semicolon or comma wrongly placed J).Similarly, you cannot view the world accurately with a completely scientific or a completely spiritual perspective.You need to have an optimal blend of both these perspectives(This line reminds me of an advertisement for a Tea brand!).
Albert Einstein said; "A legitimate conflict between science & religion cannot exist. Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind"
In this post,as the title suggests,I will propose some arguments in the favour of the notion that the world(including us) could not have evolved as a result of a random event and gradually turned into one in which we live today.It is rather created meticulously in a planned manner by a superpower whose intellect is unfathomable.This is a brave endeavour only to express my views as I now consider the world to be a safer place for arguments than it was at the time of Galileo(Poor guy was imprisoned only because he said that the earth revolves round the sun).Today, armed with various theories likes of the Big Bang  Theory ( it's not the in vogue American sitcom!),scientists claim that the creation of universe was a random process.The theory of creation by a superpower is rejected by science.I am myself a science student,but when I use my logic and reasoning abilities(of which I have a scarcity of),they challenge my credulity in the the theories propounded which state that the creation of universe was a random process.

Hereby I also make a formal confession that I am very poor in Physics,Biology and Geography.These subjects have always appealed least to me.But fortunately I (unwillingly) studied these subjects(though at basic level).But as they say "Knowledge never goes waste",I now think that the basic knowledge of these subjects enabled me to understand the world in a better way.So this establishes that the points listed below are from a layman and  a novice philosopher.Let the Physics fanatics not be offended.

1. As far as we know by now(thanks to our space missions),no form of life exists in any other planets.As the size of the Earth is negligible as compared to that of the galaxy(Milky Way) it belongs to and the possibility of extra terrestrial life cannot be denied considering the fact that there are innumerable galaxies in the universe.
Now,with our knowledge till date,no form of life can exist without water.Also,there is no life in other planets and moon(s).Coincidentally NO other planet is known to have water on its surface.Life of any form cannot be imagined without water and water is found only on the planet Earth which 'coincidentally' supports life too.Moreover,the origin of water on the Earth is still unknown.

2. The Earth which is the only planet known to support life is at the optimum distance from the sun and the moon.If it were any nearer from the Sun the temperature would have been too high to support life and all the water on the surface would have evaporated.Any farther from the sun, it would have been too cold for life to flourish here.The Moon is responsible for the ocean tides that ensure that the oceans don't stagnate and if it was nearer the tides would have been so vigorous that the oceans would have drowned the continents.


3. There is a strange similarity between the 'Macro' and 'Micro' aspects of the universe.
The motion of planets around the sun is analogous to that of the electrons around the nucleus.Isn't it fascinating? 

4. The human body is an epitome of the meticulous planning of the almighty in creating the universe.The Sense organs(ears,nose,eyes,tongue and skin) work in co-ordination with the brain in the most perfect manner.The brain itself is capable of storing immeasurable amount of data.manifold greater than that of all the storage devices of the world summed together.

5.The stomach contains a layer of mucus which prevents it from digesting itself!! (It can digest flesh and hence the Hydrochloric acid in the stomach can corrode the walls of the stomach).This depicts a perfect troubleshooting arrangement.Created by a random process over centuries??

6. The Nervous system is a very complex communication network.Nerve impulses to and from the brain travel as fast as 170 miles per hour.That enable us to perceive the world around us with our sense organs. The complex nature of the Nervous system and the tremendous amount of utility it brings to the human body makes it the best and most efficient communication system.What's your say Telecom Engineers?? J

7. The human body is stores everything it requires to survive.Blood,Minerals,Water and Nutrients are stored in the body.Ever wondered why Oxygen is not stored.If it would have stored Oxygen we needn't breath every second.Isn't it??So many people who ever died of suffocation would have completed their lifespan.

But our creator was wise enough.As we know that oxygen is responsible for oxidation of food and hence the body cells.This is the basic process of 'Metabolism' which enables an organism to grow and reproduce.If the  body would have stored oxygen,the process of oxidation would have sped leading to a very short lifespan.Definitely, it looks planned and organised.

8. Each individual has different fingerprints.This becomes more astonishing when we know that the population of the world is greater than 7 Billion!! ( God helps forensic experts in catching absconding criminals!!)

9. Due to the typical behaviour of water,in freezing climates only the top layer of the water body freezes.The water remains in liquid state under the layer of ice.It reflects the amicability of the creator for aquatic animals.

10. Most of the water available on the surface of the earth is saline and unfit to consume.To overcome this problem, nature(read: Creator) set up a mechanism through which the saline water evaporates in pure form leaving the impurities behind and is distributed throughout the surface in the form of rainfall.It appears as system for the purification and distribution of water.Doesn't it say something that most of us are unable to listen??

11.Nature runs on some basic laws which are invariable.The sun rises in the east(The first example of Simple Present in Grammar books! ),Rotation of earth on its axis causing day and night,revolution of earth inclined on its axis round the sun causing change of seasons and Gravitational pull are the basic laws which earth abides by.No one knows why.But it does!!

Richard Feynman (A Nobel Prize winner for Electrodynamics) said that "Why nature is mathematical is a mystery.The fact that there are rules at all is a kind of miracle."

12. In every cell of our body there exists a genetic code called DNA(Deoxy riboNucleic Acid ).It is similar to a computer binary code.The computer binary codes are in form of 0s and 1s.Similarly the information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).These codes act like instruction manuals for the cell and direct the cell to perform the necessary functions similar to a computer code.These codes could note have appeared on their own in each of  the billions of cells.Such information could not appear on its own without someone constructing it down.

13. The Atmosphere acts as a blanket of air over the surface of the earth.The ozone layer prevents us from the harmful ultraviolet rays of sun.Oxygen in the atmosphere is supports life.

14. The excellent feedback system in which plants take in carbon di oxide released by animals(Man is a social animal too!!) and release oxygen required by them is designed to balance the respiratory content in the atmosphere for every living being to survive.

15.The gravitational pull of earth is sufficient to prevent Oxygen escaping into atmosphere.

These are the few of many reasons which bear testimony to the fact that the world we live in is tailor made to suit our requirements.The theory of probability tells us that all of these could not have happened by chance.These are one of  the few facts I encountered in my course of 'education'.I have always been a theist but there was always a seemingly unending battle in my mind about the true nature of God.I always believed that there IS God but the question which raged a battle in my mind was Who is he?? Is he a formless entity or has he got any form?Can we see him? If yes then How?Some of these intriguing questions might also be troubling you...I'll help you to find some answers from my perspective in the next post...

I'll conclude this post with a 'valedictory' poem which I read in seventh grade.

All things bright and beautiful,

All creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderful,

The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,

Each little bird that sings,

He made their glowing colours,

He made their tiny wings.

The rich man in his castle,

The poor man at his gate,

God made them high and lowly,

The purple headed mountain,

The river running by,

The sunset and the morning,

That brightens up the sky;

The cold wind in the winter,

The pleasant summer sun,

The ripe fruits in the garden,−

He made them every one:

he tall trees in the greenwood,

The meadows where we play,

The rushes by the water,

We gather every day;

He gave us eyes to see them,

And lips that we might tell,

How great is God Almighty,

Who has made all things well.

Good Day!!!
