From Science to the Realization of God

UNIVERSAL EVIDENCE OF GOD AND THE HEREAFTER the criterion for the realization of God is the self-discovered realization of God. It is this self-discovered realization of God that is man’s actual test. Man must develop his thinking power until he becomes capable of discovering his Creator at the level of self-discovery. Two Levels of Realization of God There are two levels of the discovery of God. The first level is discovering the Creator at the level of commonsense. The second level is discovering the Creator at the level of science. For the last thousands of years, man has desired to use his commonsense in an unadulterated manner and obtain the conscious realization of his Creator at the commonsense level. There was only one condition for this discovery—and that was honesty. If a man lives honestly, commonsense will be sufficient for him to discover God. The second level of realization of God is with the help of science—recognizing the signs of the Creator hidden in Nature and then, through their help, arriving at the rational realization of the Creator. For the scientific realization of the Creator, man needed to have sufficient supporting scientific data about the creation to reflect and ponder on. The scientific realization of God is not possible through mere abstract intellectual thinking. It is possible only when the supporting scientific data is available. The means to acquire this scientific data is knowledge of the laws of Nature. In ancient times, man did not have an adequate understanding of the laws of Nature. That is why the scientific realization of the Creator was not possible for man at that time.
