Science and God

I returned to the half way home today to spend the weekend and to get ready to rehearse for the monthly event we have here. I am taking part in one of the acts which is a skit thats based on a conversation between a Scientist and God on creating the perfect world. I wont go into the story but mention that the guy who scripted it did an excellent job. I come in the last scene with a narration that goes thus:

So you see my friends, science may advance to the point of extraordinary achievements but the mystery of love and compassion and the feelings of the human heart can only come from a higher power that is both incomprehensible and unfathomable, and cannot be recreated by mortal hands,

To feel for another, to love one another, to care for each other and most of all to be just human, with all our flaws and mistakes, accepting and respecting each other for who we really are as simple human beings…. That is what makes our world beautiful…. That is what makes life truly worth living!!!

I added the following to conclude the narration:

" Now I am more of a Science person and God is my convenient refuge in times of uncertainty and insecurity, but even I was impressed with the eloquence and depth of what the Author wrote. The only thing that came to my mind was a statement attributed to Albert Einstein, "Science without Religion is Lame, Religion without Science is Blind" and another by somebody who was a family friend Abraham Kovoor, an absolute cynic and a practical one at that, in his book "On Looking Back" recounted that when one of his sisters asked him to take medicine for treating a cough while praying to Jesus to cure him, Kovoor replied, "if I do both at the same time I wont know which of the two helped remove the cough. So I will take the medicine now, and if there is no effect, I will try praying."

At the end of the day humans will advance to dizzy heights of achievement in every sphere that we endeavour to conquor but sadly in the process I doubt we will ever learn the damage we inflict on ourselves or that we may loose out on the values that distinguished us as humane in the first place. "

Another attempt.

As you will notice it's been more than a year and some how other my blog seems to be bogged or to use a more appropriate word blogged down! Till today that is. I logged on to my system this morning and started of with a solomn promise that I will at least spend an hour every day writing my daily post I edited my profile adding a few more details about myself. The primary purpose of this blog will be to document the rather idiotic and sometimes insane thoughts that occupy my mind on occasion. I changed the tittle today, edited my profile and will spend some time during the day to jazz up the site. The reasons for all this apart from creating a web presence, something I have been wanting to do for quite some time now, is I find maintaining daily diary on a Blog very convenient as I spend a good part of a day hooked on to the Net. My Psychologist wants this information to try and comprehend and psycho-analyse my thoughts using Carl Jung's methods of interpretation. I wish her luck as I haven't been able to figure a damn as to why or what causes this. All I do know is they do and I enjoy recollecting them to those around me at the half way home I spend my weekends helping out with the Administrators with all things computers. I don't think they all necessarily want to listen but hey it helps me and they wouldn't dare tell me to shut up! Anyway I spend a good deal of time listening to their crap, so it works both ways eh ? I also harbour the hope that if by any chance somebody out there in the Wild West of Cyberspace does come across my Blog and does comment I might learn something or vice-versa.

I must mention Dave Kristula whom I heard about when I came across his site surfing the Net for a tutorial to learn how to set up and go about developing my own web page. Those of you who need a resource and learn some good foundation in HTML with some useful tips should visit Dave's Page, he has done an excellent job. Thanks Dave. I will spend the next couple of days redesigning the layout of my blog and hopefully in the not so distant future be able to look back and say I did it at last.

Last but not least my sudden rejuvenation on matters concerning my web presence was the fact that I did manage to get a free webhost provider find them here and a free domain name their here. So since I had a domain name and two bogs with the Name Ajith Aiyar, it kinda made sense to do something productive with them. As I all ways maintained it's better late than never and what the heck, now is as good as it's ever going to be... I will use each of them for specific themes once I get a fix on where I am heading in Cyberspace. I know I am a good story teller and I have been told that a good yarn should make good reading. Lets see what happens!
