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
