Questions which Science will never be able to Answer?

Questions which Science will never be able to Answer?


1 & 2 - A question which science can not answer is the existence of a Creator or God. Yet this still does not deny the existence of One. Another question which science will not be able to answer is the concept of Revelation, and whether God really communicates with His creation. Both these questions will be addressed below:


Science is what we observe, hear, smell, touch, and taste. We use our senses and see the world, and universe around us. According to many believers in God, science is the pattern in which we see God’s creation. We believe that science can be truthful, or it can be in error - because it is simply man’s observations.

As believers in a God, we believe that this God has sent guidance for mankind, through a messenger - since God is capable of informing mankind whatever He wishes. He does not have to show Himself, since part of faith and belief is to believe in the unseen. However, the guidance which He sends surpasses all other works, i.e. the Qur’an discusses the Big Bang and many other scientific facts from over 1,400 years ago. Using science, we were able to understand them verses, and this is what enhances belief in God and His revelation to His messenger (who was an an unlettered man - who never knew how to read or write.) Since this theory was only discovered within the early 1900s, believers in the Qur'an will feel that this truly is a book sent down by God, since it is quite hard for an unlettered man to randomly guess this concept, and many many others over a millenium and a half ago, a man about who Lamartine in “Historie de la Turquie” wrote:


“Orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a culture without images, founder of 20 terrestrial empires and 1 spiritual empire.

That is Muhammad. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask IS THERE ANY MAN GREATER THAN HE?”

(Lamartine in “Historie de la Turquie”)

A man who it's been authentically narrated - never lied in his life, not even once - who was known as the 'Most Trustworthy' by even his enemies. Without a doubt, getting a message from someone so honest, coming with a truth which is proven even 14 centuries later makes a person believe that this man was sent as a servant and messenger of God, conveying to mankind what is good, and calling away from what is evil. Informing mankind that we are responsible for our deeds, and that we will return to the One who gave us life on a final day, and be questioned about all that we did in this temporary life. Then either be rewarded or punished for that.

This explains and shows the justice of God, and that although there may be people doing acts of injustice in this world - God is not unaware of what they do, and that they will be responsible before the Most Just. This is an explanation for those who may question why God allows people to have a choice between good or bad within this temporary life. Again, this does require faith - but with logical arguments such as - if God can give us life once, can't He give it again? And other examples of how God sends down rain and brings the dead land back to life with all sorts of different fruits and plants as sustenance for us etc. Faith does not contradict logic and reasoning, and since it answers many questions which people are unsure of - many choose to follow and believe in it.
