Do you think science can answer all our questions? And if it can´t, are those questions meaningless? Do you think science approve any religion? Is there a mystery science will not ever solve?
As most of you know i trust science. But i have some questions unanswered. According to law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed: it can only be transformed from one state to another.As you know whole universe exists of many forms of energy. My mind can´t imagine a situation energy existed always without a starting point. I think that there must be a starting point of everything. But i think our brain has its limits. As Kant says our brain functions depending on space and time concepts. And we think everything has a starting point. We can´t imagine anything that doesn´t have any starting point. But according to law of conservation of energy, energy always existed. It doesn´t have a starting point. It is not created. How can we solve this dilemma?
Same situation is valid for the God? Is there a God? If you think there is, did he created himself or he existed always? What are your arguments?
Yep, that is the 1st law of Thermodynamics. I think you mean it can only change from one form to another, for instance, energy is contained fossil fuels (embodied energy), take coal and when it is burned in a fire the energy is released as heat and carbon is released into the atmosphere.
I can´t answer the question of a starting point for energy, I guess the scientists who discovered thermodynamic would have the answer.
I don´t believe in God, and have not done so since I was a child when no one could tell me how a God could let children die (children of my age) when they were at school in the Aberfan Disaster in 1966 - over 100 children died in the school when a coal waste slid onto the school and suffocated those children. And then the question, well if there is a God how come no one has seen him? No one could answer that either. I have plenty of reason why I don´t believe in God. I believe in evolution, and scientific reasoning. In my view science can prove most things and as far as I am aware it has not proven there is a God. Without science we would not be where we are today.
