A Little Science Distances You From God But A Lot Of Science Brings You Nearer To Him

Abstract

This write-up follows the statement by Louis Pasteur, founder of Microbiology and Immunology, that “a little science distances you from God but a lot of science brings you nearer to him”. The discussion here focuses on: The description of science The appreciation of science in relation to quantum theories The impact of science on lives and human interactions Knowledge and its ability to explain nature The study of science through the established scientific method has positively affected life in the area of Technology, Medicine, Education, Cosmology, etc. Science has given the appreciation of life and nature. The physical laws that guide scientific approaches have produced cosmological models that have explained the structure and the evolution of the universe. In conclusion, the study of science gives knowledge and creates appreciation which serves as the driving force that pushes the scientist to further search and appreciation of the creation of Nature which leads to a greater love for the creator (God).
