Consciousness, the realm and ride by which we are able to perceive "all this" and beyond it, is not the maiden scientists have been able to woo. It's a wacko world! A few psychiatrists and psychologists take a glimpse into it, yet fail to "get" what yogis, sufis and freemystics are "enabled" to. Scientists have no say in it. Their messianic mission and matter lies in the concrete "matter" of the labs. Not in the metaphysics of otherworldly matters. Thus, to a majority of the scientists, matters beyond "matter" do not matter.
However, to be fair, some earlier Nobel laureates as Max Plank, Schrodinger, Heisenberg, Bohr, and some other advanced quantum scientists of the past and the present lot do get the eventual fact that probed to the limit, it is found that "matter" ceases to exist in its physical form. Hence, does not matter. The common link between these Nobel prize winning physicists? - They had all read the UPANISHADS, the gnostic scriptures of the freemystics of ancient India. And what had they learned? Simply, and similarly so, this:-
"I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness." ~Max Plank [Nobel Prize in Physics 1918]
Now days a rare scientist does.
Hence, in the present times, the god of science is a chemical accident!
For, thus is the current explanation of this world, dished out by the present luminaries of the theoretical scientists. That some big bang happened, by chance as if. A chemical reaction thereafter ensued. And that these dead chemicals "screwed" with each other! From this dead mating the dead, an "alive" world was formed. We, the living and thinking human beings evolved from the inanimate atoms and insignificant "lower" beings, and came to be, into existence from this freakish unaccountable accident. All this, universe et all, arranged so magnificently, magically and marvelously, thus was birthed. Nothing miraculous about it!
"This.. impossibility of conceiving this immense and wonderful universe.. as the result of blind chance or necessity.. thus reflecting I feel compelled to look to a First Cause having an Intelligent Mind in some degree analogous to that of man; and I deserve to be called a theist." ~ Charles Darwin
However, we are told otherwise.
Chemicals we are, chemicals we go! Nothing divine about it. Dead to dead. So seems to be our story. As told by the present, and the current, gods of science!
"Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe - a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble."
"In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views."
~Albert Einstein
