Why God is not subject to scientific knowledge?
There is no subject more explored, more mentioned, more present, more discussed, than the concept of God.
No one human being has not thought about God. No one individual has made up his mind about a subject more than God. No one person, past and present did not think about God's existence. No one person was left out of the list of believers or disbelievers. Every human being has, by definition if sane and adult, must think about God and decide to make a decision concerning his existence or non-existence.
No one is left out of choosing between the two options. Every one of us looks into the universe as an inevitable obligation and has to decide also as an inevitable obligation between belief and disbelief in God. No other subject so important and so full of discussions, paradoxes and convictions as the subject of God. He is the center of the universe. Humans are classified under two major classifications: Believers and disbelievers in God. God is the pivoting point in the freedom of man.
We look into the universe and we are faced with the need and necessity of a creator. We look into our planet earth spinning about the solar system and we wonder how come all is so precisely made? We cannot possibly escape thinking about God. From a simple layman to an Einstein, passing by all scientists and artists, philosophers and vegetables we all think about God. Whether those who believe or disbelieve, must have thought about God.
All the universe and all that within it are subject to identification through the plausibility of a creator-cause. The history of mankind is a history of wondering about God. Our presence in this universe, the presence of our universe and the origin of it all, the control it has, all are subjects within the subject of God.
Scientific reasoning, as worked out by some geniuses like Laplace, Newton, Bacon, Descartes and Einstein all decide that science believes in what it sees and make proof of what it sees. But God who is not subject to scientific thinking and scientific analysis in the laboratory of the scientist is left out of the domain of science.
Sarcastically and ironically God is the creator a source of all science, all knowledge and all what man can observe, analyze, understand and conclude. Man as a strange being is himself the first subject of God. Unless man has made himself, or came from an ape, then there must be a God who made the two.
Science does not acknowledge God but scientists, like any other species, human or otherwise, are subject to think and choose between belief and disbelief in God. No one scientist is immune to this choice. No one scientist can be an exception, an outsider, to belief and disbelief. It all depends on the scientists' personal convictions.
But, who needs science and scientists to believe in God? The subject is free for everyone. Scientific criteria are man made and man is certainly not perfect. He is not God.
The absence of any proof, or evidence, or index or any solid argument for, or against, the existence of God, corners man by obligation to recoil to his personal convictions to make up his mid whether to believe or not to believe. The presence of the universe can be contrasted with the non presence of the universe. The presence of the universe leads to the personal convictions of anybody that there must be a God who runs the show.
Atoms need to be created. They need to be put together in such an order and precision and controlled as they are in order to form trillions of galaxies, trillions of stars and planets all in absolute order and absolute harmony. They are functioning under the command of strict universal laws. These laws must come from somewhere. This universe must be made by some architect, an all powerful mighty one at that.
Science (from scire in Latin means to know), is nothing but what man's mind perceive of what exists. Both, mind and universe are already there and they have to be in constant confrontation.
Tell me, if you and I did not create our minds to think with and lesser still the universe to think about, then who did?
But scientists know better for they pass all their time looking scientifically into things and finding out how things are made and how do they function. Is it not indeed an irony for science not to believe in God while its proper subject is the creation of God? Scientists are incapable of creating an atom , let alone a wing of a fly. But apes they think they are they remain at this level of intelligence.
But God remains the creator of all sciences, all knwoeldge, while He is extra-science and above science and this is why we cannot subject God to science.
I hope you are not a scientist, for you will miss out on many things, the most important thing of all: God All Mighty, who put your atoms together and the atoms of the universe where you spend your time meditating upon.
