The Beginning...
Everything in this world and outside has to have a beginning. I have always wondered at this concept of creation which many schools of thought have tried explaining. I wish to talk about the two major thoughts here: (iam not making any direct reference to the authors)
We in our daily lives witness lot of happenings, and the curious ones among us (like me!!) try and explain the logic behind the happening. But some things just go over us, unexplained - coincidences. Some choose to call coincidences - Miracles. Miracles like these have changed lives, saved the innocent ones, and helped the pious ones. And we are a daily witnesses to such miracles (coincidences) that right in front of our eyes have shaped lives. The concept of creation as a miracle, according to me is just an extension of such daily experiences. Why can't the whole world be just another miracle? Believers of this school of thought cannot take anything to be coincidences but incidents created by GOD. Thus the whole creation was considered as something willed by GOD and considered the greatest miracles in the Universe.
Now lets give a chance to the curious ones (people prefer to call these, scientists). Man has progressively been able to answer questions that once remained unanswered (deliberately?...we will talk about this later). What used to be "work of the gods" are now scientifically demonstrated. These scientific findings are making their way into the social life of man as they have proven to be more reliable. Man is no more the figment of God's imagination but a sophisticated creature that has honed its intelligence through the many phases of evolution. Some religious thoughts infact subscribe to this concept of evolution though godified it, lest they should incur the wrath of the ancient religious heads. The god fearing religious thoughts only doused this ember of scientific reasoning.
So can we conclude anything.....hold on not so fast. What has taken ages of debate cannot be concluded so easily....for there is a bit of truth in both the schools of thought, of course one based on belief and the other based on reasoning.
What i will venture into in this blog is to put forth some of my thoughts ... which probably should help us to get to some understanding about Life. By the way i dont have any presumptions or preconclusions...lets us discuss and see for our selves where we are heading.
