The Scientific Explanation Of GOD........

This is a very interesting topic about which I heard from one of the guys I was having a discussion with.........don't remember who he was or when we talked about this............I only remember the idea.........ONLY THE IDEA........and that is because I found it very fascinating & it still fascinates me. Here it goes........

For centuries humans (not sure of other creatures though, I wouldn't be surprised even if say dolphins or apes did too....) have argued about the existence (or rather the very concept) of GOD. There are enough number of theories (proposed and self-evident both) on both sides to prove the other wrong but, very few (or none) to prove any side right. Some say GOD has to be there else how do you justify the very existence of the Universe , God has created it all. The other side promptly puts up a question "If you question the existence of the Universe, then how do you explain the existence of God? Is there a God's God to explain that??" Similar is the case with the other side.....even they can't convince everyone that God does not exist because then there is the obvious question about how does the universe exist which has no answer (as of yet). Its a kind of never ending debate.....

One explanation of the possible existence of God that the guy gave me (which fascinated me) is what I want to tell you about. It doesn't take any side, proves nothing but, it really is creative I must say. It is called the scientific explanation of God.

It has got something to do with frames of reference and the thermodynamic concept of a system. Imagine this, a small boy sitting in a train (in motion), throws a coin in the air and allows it to fall on the floor of the train. What was the motion of the coin? For the boy in the train, the coin went up & came down - a straight vertical path of motion. Now here's the catch.... what is the actual path of the coin? Anyone who knows about the frames of reference concept will easily understand that its not a straight line. While the coin was thrown in the air, the train was moving forward - since the boy was in the train, he was also moving forward. He did not observe any forward motion of the coin because he himself was moving forward at the same speed as the coin was (relative velocity = 0). So, the actual motion of the coin can be better viewed by a person not in the train, say a guy on the platform. According to him, the coin moved forward while also going up & then down again i.e. the coin actually followed a projectile path...... Interesting huh?? But, did the guy on the platform observe the actual motion of the coin? "Yes" you may say but, the answer is "No". The reason is again the same. The guy on the platform was on the earth which is itself rotating around itself & revolving around the Sun. So like the boy, he also did not observe the 'actual' motion of the coin. Both observed the motion of the coin relative to themselves.

If we consider a train as a thermodynamic system, we may conclude, in thermodynamic terms, that a person who is outside the system, understands the activities in the system better than someone inside the system i.e. the person outside the system knows the TRUTH better. So, the guy on the platform understood the motion of the coin better than the boy in the train. Similarly, someone outside the solar system will know the truth better. To extend on similar lines, someone outside the milky way will know the TRUTH even better and continuing in this fashion, who will know the ultimate TRUTH????? Someone outside the universe.....Someone who is not a part of any system, someone completely outside the system. He will be the only one to know the entire truth.......in other words, he will be GOD!!!!!

But, does that mean that what the boy in the train or the guy on the platform knew was false....it was also true......only that it was the relative TRUTH that they knew..........and this is what can be called the concept of MAYA, referred to many times in the Indian Mythology......

So, logically, anyone outside the entire system knows the real TRUTH, he is the-all-knowing, he is free from MAYA............and hence, he's GOD.......but, can someone really exist outside this system, outside the universe (or mathematically just inside it)? Does such a God exist??? The answer is no one knows..........and I don't know if anyone will ever know...................

Ring a bell?? Agree with me? Disagree with me? Leave a comment......
