Metaphysics

Paper Summary:

This paper contends that the boundary between science and religion remains one of the most fascinating and worrying areas of all the borderland areas involving science. Scientists, scholars and laymen are constantly thinking about the individual and communal issues rotating around science and religion. The paper assesses that almost everybody is trying to come to terms both rationally and expressively with the collection of rich issues involving personal belief on the one hand and promise to science and reason on the other. In a different way, everybody is trying to put an end to these contradictory issues. The problems are difficult and the spectrum is extensive. The paper examines the fact that only some politically correct revisionists seek to refute, that science and religion have always been at odds. This does not indicate that there is essentially a clash between science and religions, as science simply cannot tackle all of the statements and suppositions that go into religious pronouncements. The paper claims that without hindering each other's territory, science and religion can exist alongside.

From the Paper:

"Mind cannot be taken to mean as brain. It is the awakened effort that utilizes the brain to become responsive to it and the objects residing its outside. It is symbolized with the electricity that operates the motor. Even though both are considered separate things, they are needed together to make the motor useful for its desired application. Mind is not a physical entity capable of being measured or weighed. Mind is also not considered as life but it is only present when the life is present. In absence of mind however, there would be no use in living. It is impossible to have sensual experiences. It is not possible to know our existence. In the same jargon Matter can also be visualized. Matter is not considered as mind. This is called Matter since it is isolated from us and our minds. The scientific analysis reveal that the matter is constituted of atoms that form together in certain 'patterns' or 'molds' and builds particular forms to be professed by our senses as objects in the space around us."
