Science Can't Explain Everything

Science Can't Explain Everything

Since time immemorial, Scientists as a class have always remained protected in their laboratories and study chambers, aloof and exempt from dishonesty. In other words, scientists kept a safe distance from falsehood, fake theories, and fake information. Their approach was towards authenticity while searching for the truth and mysteries of the universe.


Science, among all other fields, has been regarded as the ultimate meeting ground for seekers of truth. The dazzling & amazing technological achievements of modern science have given it an aura of infallibility.


But sadly there is a twist in the tale of honesty. In recent times, scientists in academic, industrial, and government sectors occupying key positions, have shown that they are indeed capable of mixing personal beliefs and ambitions with their research, thus altering the results.


When this happens, we are no longer dealing with a search for truth but with a pseudoscience and its resultant array of distortions, fabrications, and false information. 


Unfortunately, this unprofessional and unscientific method has been applied to the most fundamental and sensitive field of scientific inquiry namely "the nature and origin of life". 


Not surprisingly when scientists present untested and unproven speculations about the origin of life, people tend to fully accept them with blind faith, because of the mystery surrounding the existence of life.


Some scientists popularise the notion that a human being is merel

y a conglomeration (bundle) of unconscious molecules. But they cannot explain how mere molecules can display emotions, experience joy upon seeing loved ones, or feel disturbed by sad & tragic events.


Today many scientists are propagating the theory that life originates from matter. Popular works and textbooks in western countries opine that life arose gradually from chemicals which they term as a "primordial soup" consisting of amino acids, proteins, and other essential ingredients. 


However, science to date, could not provide proof or evidence of this "misplaced notion" either experimentally or even theoretically. In fact, these ambitious scientists hold their stance essentially on assumptions, beliefs, and wishful thinking. 


The question that I find asking myself is: "Where and how did the chemicals come from in the first place"? There is no direct answer to this except beating around the bush.


It has been already demonstrated by information theory that even a single informational molecule such as Cytochrome could not have arisen by chance or by natural means in the estimated lifetime of the earth (then what is left to speak of complex organisms).


Bottom Line :

● Life cannot be reduced to atoms and molecules and matter is incapable of generating life in any form

● Life has not originated from supermolecules

● Life has not originated on account of extraterrestrial collisions

● It is still an "Unsolved Mystery" as to how life has originated.
