Why doesn't science recognize the existence of God?

Why doesn't science recognize the existence of God? what do you think?

Science is based on facts, which can be proved and can affect real life.

Belief in God is based on facts that can only be proved to yourself, but not to others. They will affect real life.

So is it possible for science and God to meet?

When scientists create a theory, their facts can only be proved to themselves before being recognized by others.

Some people will accept this theory as truth, and then science will become religion.

So, it's not that scientists don't recognize the existence of God, but that they want to present it in another way, because God can't be proved.

"Can a real scientist be a Christian at the same time? "This is a question raised by Langer, a modern French astrophysicist and a famous authority on elementary particle physics. His answer is also yes. He said, "I am a man of faith. I have never lost my faith."

Einstein, the most famous scientist in the 20th century, believed that there was a God who created the universe. He said, "I believe in God. Show yourself through the order and harmony between everything. " He firmly believes that the universe can't run by accident, and "the law of cause and effect must exist." (See the article "Rediscovering Einstein" in the first issue of Time magazine 1979.2. 19. The article also said; "Einstein was convinced that there was basic harmony and simplicity in nature. “

Braun, an American scientist known as the "father of the hydrogen bomb", also claimed to believe in God. He once said that whenever he felt powerless, he always prayed to God. There are countless other scientists who believe in God. In order to find evidence, here are a few ordinary scientists who believe in God:

Marconi invented radio.

Ampere (unit of current, "An" or "A" is the abbreviation of his name)

Volt (unit of voltage, "Volt" or V is the abbreviation of his name)

Laplace (astronomer who founded the theory of nebulae)

Copernicus (astronomer, priest, Heliocentrism)

Pascal, Blaise (also known as Pascal, philosopher and mathematician)

Pasteur (chemist, who discovered bacteria and was called "the father of bacteriology")

Mendel (or translated as Mendel, who discovered the law of heredity and was called "the father of genetics")

Lamarck (biologist who founded the theory of "throwing waste and returning it")

Ohm (resistance unit, ohm's law)

Descartes (mathematician and philosopher who founded analytic geometry)

Galileo (astronomer, inventor of telescope and pendulum)

Gao Xi (mathematician, with many new theories)

Madame Curie (discoverer of radium)

Planck (inventor of quantum theory)

"People occasionally stumble over the truth, but most people get up and run away as if nothing had happened." -Winston Churchill

On Christmas Day in 20 14, Eric Metaxas published a heroic article in the Wall Street Journal, which lit up the world. The article is entitled "Science increasingly proves the existence of God". What he is discussing is the frontier of our knowledge. For example, this is our planet:

This is another planet:

What he means is that we live in a better place. The planet we live on has all the conditions conducive to life, including:

Our distance from the sun is just right, so the temperature is comfortable for life.

The atmospheric pressure of our planet is just right, so surface water can exist in liquid form.

Our heavy elements and organic molecules are in the right balance, so this is a favorable factor for the emergence of life.

The moderate amount of water on the earth enables oceans and continents to coexist.

Life appeared in our world very early, and ran through the whole history of this planet, which finally led to the emergence of our conscious and self-conscious creatures.

The probability of these facts is indeed extremely rare and rare in the universe. But that's not what he said. It seems incredible to adjust all the factors just right and then combine them, so our universe seems to be carefully designed so that human beings can produce it. Otherwise, because the probability of our birth is very small, it will be unconvincing to explain it only by coincidence.

Many people believe this assertion. But it is necessary to ask ourselves three questions to test whether our hearts are sincere enough. Answer one question at a time, but list all three questions first so that we can know how to start.

What are the conditions of life in science?

Are these situations rare or common in the universe?

Finally, if we don't find life where we think the conditions are satisfied, can we prove the existence of God?

These are big questions. Let's answer them carefully.

It cost more than 654.38+03 billion dollars and took 654.38+04 years, but in the end, as expected, "God" appeared. This happened on 20 12, and the evidence is very convincing. I can't do it if I don't believe it. "God" is real. Of course, what we are talking about here is not God, but God particle Higgs boson.

If only it were that simple to prove the existence of a real God. However, finding the Higgs boson seems completely different from finding God. The Higgs boson is a physical entity, and its properties can be explained by particle physics. However, God is regarded as a supernatural being, ubiquitous but invisible, knowable but incomprehensible. But this has not stopped scientists and philosophers from discussing this issue.

For theists, the complexity of nature is a clue. They believe that beautiful things like eyes or butterfly wings can only be created by God. On the surface, this intelligent design theory is very convincing. But scientists have found that through the evolution of natural selection, with enough time, you can get beautiful things that look beautifully designed.

With the development of science, people began to stop looking for evidence of theism, and some contemporary religious philosophers retreated to a position called reform epistemology. They believe that the existence of God needs no reason or evidence.

From a scientific point of view, this seems to be a weak sophistry. Science has begun to provide some explanations for why we believe in the existence of God.

Neuroscientists have found that the human brain is naturally equipped with a device that can make people believe in religion. This device is called "stimulant detection device": when we face unexplained phenomena, this device will be activated, which makes us believe that something invisible affects the surrounding environment.

This mechanism was originally designed to help our ancestors survive: when we heard rustling in the jungle, we thought it might be some kind of wild animal coming and preparing to escape or fight, although we haven't figured out what caused the rustling. However, when human beings who are gradually moving towards civilization see phenomena that cannot be explained immediately, they often have an invisible hand to control everything. It can be seen that with the progress of civilization, what we can't see has finally become the concept of God and gods.

Victor Stanger, an American physicist, is an atheist who dares to speak out. In 2007, he published the book God: The Hypothesis of Failure. In the book, he pointed out that if there is God in religion, there should be observable phenomena.

He put forward some phenomena. For example, if God is the source of morality, then unbelievers should be more immoral than religious people. If God created the universe, then we should be able to find supernatural things in the laws of physics. If God will answer our prayers, then praying for the sick should be as useful as taking medicine or performing surgery. But these phenomena have not been observed, and Stanger thinks we should go back and deny the original hypothesis. In other words, God does not exist.
