SCIENCE AND THE EXISTENCE OF GOD — No Contradiction

where in space with no discernible source—was attributed to the Big Bang. This radiation was the remnant of the Big Bang. On observing this radiation, Joel Primack, an American scientist, observed: 'the ripples are no less than the handwriting of God'. George Fitzgerald Smoot is an American astrophysicist and cosmologist, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2006 for his work on the Cosmic Background Explorer. In 1992, when he announced the discovery of ripples in the heat radiation still arriving from the Big Bang, he said it was 'like seeing the face of God'. Theory of Everything Although Albert Einstein was born in a Jewish family, after scientific study he had become doubtful about the existence of God. A year before his death in 1954, he wrote a letter to a Jewish philosopher, Eric B. Gutkind, where he said: The word God was nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses. What Einstein refers to as ‘human weakness’ is not really a weakness but a characteristic feature of man. This characteristic feature has been aptly described in the following words: ‘Man is an explanationseeking animal.’ This characteristic feature of man is the foundation of all progress. On the basis of this feature, man seeks out an explanation for all things, thereby reaching the great discoveries that make all developments in civilization possible. If it were not for this feature in man, human civilization would have remained in a state of total ignorance. Science has not proved the existence of God directly, but it would be true to say that Science has accumulated the data to prove the existence of God. It is said that Einstein spent the last thirty years of his life in a quest to find a scientific answer, but he was not successful. This quest was to find a Unified Field Theory. This was an extremely important scientific quest and is still the subject of scientific research. It is now better known as the Theory of Everything. What is the Theory of Everything? It is a unified theory that would
