Are You There..?

Hi, mes amis!

We know how universe had started, through the Big Bang. At CERN, scientists have also recreated this phenomenon, though obviously on a much smaller scale. The LHC (Large Hadron Collider), the new machine made by them, stretches in a circle 27 km long in circumference, and 175 m under the Franco-Swiss border. What I mean to say is that we have made it quite scientifically clear how the universe came into existence out of nothing but a small particle, oft referred to as Higgs Boson particle, or more ironically, the 'God particle'.

Now, coming back to Earth and how the basic-most living organisms were born. In 1950s, two scientists, Urey and Miller, devised an experiment to see how complex compounds might have formed from simple elements after the formation of Earth. I don't want to show you the whole experiment. But I'll surely want to tell you what they found.

They found a brown mass having around 20 different amino acids, 11 of which are currently used by living organisms in day-to-day life processes. So many scientists anticipate and believe that something similar would have occurred leading to formation of basic organisms like bacteria, from complex compounds as well. And then as we all know, complex organisms evolved from simple ones, and as of now, we are as abundant on the Earth as perhaps the no. of bacteria in a pond.

If someone states that we still didn’t actually prove how life began, did you know that we haven’t discovered even 2% of our universe? This clearly shows that Science is still in its youth, and will take time to mature and be ready to answer all the questions posed by the overly mature Religion.

Now I would like to ask, where the heck do you find God in this? Do you find any divine force at work anywhere, in the start of the Universe or the commencement of the human race (or any other organism)?

I have heard people say that God is not here to listen to all your complaints; he has much more important tasks to do. Now come on, who are you kidding? What tasks other than to keep an eye on the world does He have? Everything has been given a logical explanation, and I doubt that the language of God and that of logic are the same.
