Transcripts

Namaste everyone and today it's a very

interesting topic we will be discussing

about perspectives from scientist on

Divinity and God just imagine you are

traveling in a bus and suddenly a white

man comes and sits next to you you may

wonder who is he you have no idea but

suddenly somebody introduces you that he

is Bill Gates and as soon as you see

he's a Bill Gates you remember Microsoft

Word Windows 10 MSN Bing Xbox so on and

so forth and your appreciation for your

passenger co-passenger will immensely

increase why your appreciation has

increased because now you know the

creation exactly this thought followed

the scientists when they thought that we

will appreciate God better by studying

the creation of God and here we are

going to see 10 odd quotes from the

greatest of the great

scientists and what their opinion about

existence of God so we begin with Isaac

Newton who is very famous for the law of

universal gravitation laws of motion

calculus so on and so forth and he says

this most beautiful system of sun

planets and comets could only proceed

from the council and the Dominion of an

intelligent and the powerful being so

this is from the mathematical principles

of natural philosophy the general scolum

so here we see that the scientist as

great as a Newton did accept there has

to be a intelligent powerful being a

design behind the universe in fact the

word very word Cosmos is defined as

orderly designed universe and whenever

you say orderly there has to be someone

who is setting the order whenever we say

design there has to be someone there is

a

designer let's come to the next quote

this is by Albert Einstein on the spirit

of the universe so this quote is taken

from 1936 letter of Albert Einstein who

is very famous for theory of relativity

e is equal to mc² photo electric effect

so on and so forth so here Albert

Einstein says everyone who is seriously

involved in the pursuit of science

becomes convinced that a spirit is

Manifest in the laws of the universe a

spirit vastly Superior to that of man

Einstein or the like of the scientist

may not have agreed the dogmatic idea of

the God but they always looked forward a

superior power Superior Energy Superior

being Superior intellect who is

governing the

universe and then the next one Galileo

Galilee who is who discovered the who

improved the telescope the discovered

the four moons of Jupiter laws of motion

and you know he was the literally the

first one who proposed the heliocentric

model of the

universe so he says I do not feel

obliged to believe that the same God who

has endowed us with sense reason and

intellect has intended us to forego

their use so it was always that

utilizing the god-given

abilities to understand the nature of

the world to understand the reason

behind the word the next one is Max

plank so Max blank is very famous for

the quantum physics he's known as the

father of quantum physics and he has a

very interesting quote on science and

religion this is from his lecture in

1937 Max planky says both religion and

science require belief in God mind you

these word these are not coming from

some typical dogmatic religious person

no this is these are the scientists the

hu scientist we are talking about the

founding fathers of the science and he's

saying both religion and science require

belief in God for believers God is in

the beginning and for the physicist he

is at the end of all considerations to

the former he is the foundation and to

the latter the crown of the edifice of

every generalized world view this is Max

blank next we go a Warner hezenberg who

is discovering on discovering science

through God now he's you may know him as

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle

quantum mechanics so uh now in his

Recollections he writes the first gulp

of glass of the Natural Science will

turn you into atheist but at the bottom

of the glass God is waiting for you so

there is very beautiful quote later also

will come that you know the the first

gulp of the glass of Natural Science

will turn you into atheist so when you

start sipping science you may feel oh I

will be atheist I mean with the natural

laws are explaining Everything But at

the bottom of the GL glass God is

waiting for you beautiful beautiful

quote by uh

Heisenberg then here it is the Maxwell

Maxwell James Clerk Maxwell he's very

famous for the Maxwell's equations

electromagnetic Theory kinetic theory of

gases all this comes from the Maxwell

now in his letter to Campell he writes

the only desire which I can have is like

David to serve my own Generation by the

will of God and then fall asleep so this

is about

Max

then here is a quote from the Pascal

Pascal very famous for Pascal's triangle

Pascal's Law contribution to the

probability Theory so on the god shaped

vacuum mind you these quotes are

predominantly from the Western

scientists we are not taking the quotes

from ramanin or you know the the Indian

scientist's quote because at times there

is a the feeling that Indian SCI

scientists are naturally inclined

towards being theistic and that's why

this video entirely is based on the

scientists of course you know the very

famous quote by ramanujan he says that

every mathematical equation is a puzzle

of God that I want to solve and he was a

great devotee of mahalakshmi and he felt

that you know he's always feeling the

great ramanujan he's always feeling was

that every mathematical equation is a

Prasad coming from mahalakshmi so

purposefully we are not covering the

Indian scientists here purposefully we

are covering only the Western scientists

and

their understanding and their faith in

God and their service to science as

service to God so the Pascal here there

is a god- shaped vacuum in the heart of

every man which cannot be filled by any

created being but only by God the

Creator made known to us through Saints

so the here Pascal is talking about God

creator who is a Creator and then

knowing the god through Saints just like

the science is known through

professors then here it is Sir Francis

ban he is famous for the empirical

philosophy the scientific methods and

various essays so he writes in the book

called as on of

atheism beautiful quote okay beautiful

quote this is a little bit of

science EST Stranges a man from God and

a lot of science bring him back to God

okay A little bit of science will make

you atheist and lot of science will make

you theist so this is Sir Francis

Beacon and this is now the it is is

quote by arthor Edington insides on a

universal mind okay and he is Edington

is famous for the star structures

edington's limit relativity Theory

contribution along with Einstein so he

quotes the idea of universal mind or the

logos would be I think a fairly

plausible inference from the present

state of scientific theory so they

always worked about there has to be

Universal personality Universal

intellect Universal Mind who is shaping

this entire universe into a uh what it

is now and this will blow you up now

many times big bank is thought of uh you

know that which ex excludes God from

creation and the person who suggested

the Big Bang Theory who proposed The Big

Bang Theory this is AB geogas litre now

his insights on Big Bang Theory

indicating the existence of God now this

is the recollection of lemetre along

with Einstein and that's what the

photograph you see here and you see a

pick of a big bang as well so he writes

so here uh you know he's being quoted as

I was there when litre proposed The Big

Bang Theory in 1927 and which which was

published in 1931 when he came up with

the idea of the big bang and he told me

about it and then he whispered to me

that the idea was beautiful and showed

the existence of

God this is by AB giog litre was famous

for Big Bang Theory hubbles law Primal

ATM so on and so forth so for him big

bang was a beautiful idea and showed

directly the existence of God how he

created created

universe so thank you very much do

connect to the channel subscribe to the

channel and leave a comment about which

is your the most famous most favorite

quote of these great scientists thank

you
