structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation
and experiment. OR
A systematically organized body of knowledge on a particular subject. OR
Knowledge attained through study or practice," or "knowledge covering general

experiments and observation. OR
A branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truthssystematic

Systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through
observation and experimentation. OR
Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise
that
builds
and
organizes knowledge in
the
form
of
testable explanations and predictions about theuniverse. In an older and closely
related meaning, "science" also refers to this body of knowledge itself, of the
type that can be rationally explained and reliably applied. Ever since classical
antiquity, science as a type of knowledge has been closely linked to philosophy.
In the West during the early modern period the words "science" and "philosophy
of nature" were sometimes used interchangeably,[3]:p.3 and until the 19th
century natural philosophy (which is today called "natural science") was
considered a branch of philosophy.

Purpose
What is the purpose of science? Perhaps the most general description is that the
purpose of science is to produce useful models of reality.

Most scientific investigations use some form of the scientific method. Find out
more about the scientific method.
Science as defined above is sometimes called pure science to differentiate it
from applied science, which is the application of research to human needs.
Fields of science are commonly classified along two major lines:
Natural sciences, the study of the natural world, and
Social sciences, the systematic study of human behavior and society.

Difference between both


Mostly religions had been linked with divine while a few also declared by
men. Religion does not believe in experiments while its demands blind
faith while in science there is total opposition of faith and the things could
not be verified till the observation, steps and experiments.

Q. 3
The focus of this article is the Law of Cause & Effect. Based on the
Socratic law of causality, this Law is so profound and powerful that it has
been referred to as the Iron Law of Human Destiny
Law of Cause & Effect:

The Law of Cause & Effect states that absolutely everything happens for a
reason. All actions have consequences and produce specific results, as do
all inactions. The choices we make are causes, whether they are conscious
or unconscious, and will produce corresponding outcomes or effects. The
Law works the same for everyone at all times.
Distilled down to the simplest possible terms, this Law states that for every
outcome or effect in ones life, there is a specific cause; poor diet and
exercise habits result in poor health, constant and uncontrolled spending
results in debt and money worries, not putting effort into your key
relationships results in poor relationships and all of the associated
issues.
The quantum physics article on this web site will assist you in gaining a
full understanding of this law. Remember that this law is not the same as
the law of attraction, this is about what you put out (cause) will have a

result (effect). The trick is to know which one you are using at any one
point in time, and when you do to use it properly.
The law can also be applied in the physical sense through examination of
Sir Isaac Newtons third Law of Motion, which states that for every
action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If, for example, you were
to hold your hand over a candles flame (the cause) the effect would be
that your hand would burn and it would hurt! While this is an extreme
example, it serves to illustrate the point very well.
Consider another situation which is specific to business. Imagine that your
business is so successful you cannot keep up with the demand a nice
problem to have! Eventually, the levels of customer service deteriorate as
your staff attempts to cope with the problem. You receive complaints and
employee morale begins to suffer.
At this point, you have a choice to make try to muddle through with the
existing situation or hire more people. This is a difficult decision as there
are many unknowns when hiring will you get the right person, will he /
she be part of the solution or part of the problem, what will happen to your
cash
flow
etc.
Whichever decision you make becomes the cause either you hire or
dont. The effect is the result of the decision. If you hired someone, there
should be some relief for your existing staff, and customers should become
happier with your service (providing of course, you hired the right person
and then invested to train them properly). If the decision was to not hire,
the effect would likely be dissatisfied, and eventually, lost customers and
potentially lost employees as well unless you can find another solution
(cause) to implement (process re-engineering etc.). This is a recipe for
disaster which could easily see the business fail altogether the ultimate
effect.
The same holds true with your personal relationships. If you treat the
important people in your life with respect, love, compassion, dignity and
honesty (cause), you will experience loving, solid relationships which
lead to happiness, fulfillment and peace of mind (effect).
Making It Work for You:

The truly wonderful thing about this law is that by definition then, we
should be able to manifest that which we truly want (the effect) simply by
exerting the same causes that others before us have exerted and been
successful.
Let
me
explain:
If you have a desire to be a successful and highly paid businessperson in
your chosen field, then you should be able to look back and study what
made others, before you, successful. What books did they read, courses did
they study, beliefs did they hold, actions did they take?
If you were to emulate the things they did to be successful, you would
achieve the same results over a period of time. If, over time, this does not
occur, it is likely because there is something different in what you were
doing some vital piece of information that is missing.
What You Can Do:

There are three action exercises, which you can put in place immediately,
to help you get more of what you want:
Determine the Cause & Effect relationships in the areas in which you
want improvement or success. Identify the specific things you will need to
do in order to get the results that you desire. In this aspect having a
through proper understanding of yourself and how you work as a person
and a good knowledge of your belief systems will go a long way in
assisting you to properly understand and use cause and effect.
1.

2. Take action! Make the decision to focus on, and do, the things that other
successful people have done in those areas. Half the battle is taking action.
It is your ability to actually begin that will set you apart from the majority
of the population. In some way fake it until you make it. It will follow
through. That is the law, the iron law of human destiny that is!!!!
3. Persevere. If you take action and do the things that others have done,
you will eventually get the desired results. Rome was not built in a day and
it has taken you a lifetime to get into the position in which you now find
yourself. Success takes time, so if it doesnt seem to be working
immediately, dont give up! Stay focused, analyse your causes to ensure
you are doing the right things; tweak your approach if necessary you will
get the desired results!

There is no mystery to achieving success - it is available to all of us. One


need only be aware of, understand and live in accordance with Universal
Law! Please read the following articles on this web site in conjunction
with this to see what you can do about your life and how to change it. See
article on Quantum Physics and Energetics of the subconscious mind.
It is easy to tell which causes will bring good results, and which will bring
negative ones. Every good cause will produce positive results. If you put
all your heart into your work, you will be paid abundantly for that. If you
try to find shortcuts or produce poor results because of your attitude, then
you will be poorly paid.
Some people misunderstand the law of cause and effect and cannot realise
why they are not successful although they work hard. This is because
working hard does not produce any value. It only drains your energy and
makes you struggle. That, in turn, produces poor results.
Working hard is the worst way to work. You should enjoy your work and
put your heart into it, produce value with love. This is exactly opposite to
the hard work and struggle. The more enjoyment, energy and heart you
will put into your work, the more successful you will become.
That is why pursuing passion is the best way to live. You will effortlessly
create value if you are doing what you love.
Also, if you want to be very successful, you should try to cause positive
effects that many people will benefit from. The more people you can
benefit from what you create, the more successful you will become.
You will notice that whenever you create something to the highest good
for all, the less obstacles you will experience. It will be as though you are
completely in the flow and everyone is there to help you.
The law of cause and effect is especially clearly seen in money matters.
Whenever you spend your money with the scarcity in mind, you will
receive money slower or no money at all. Whenever you spend money
with faith that more is coming in, the quicker you will receive even more
than you spent.

If you donate money with the hope that your donation will improve
someones life, you will be returned much more than you have donated.
If someone is treating you unfairly, but you always respond fairly, you will
only be rewarded. Maybe not instantly, but later on something will happen
in your life that will compensate you for your fairness.
Whereas the person that wronged you will be wronged at some point too.
The law of cause and effect makes no exceptions.
Whenever you are about to take some action, try to quickly assess if that
action will bring positive or negative effect to your life.
Therefore if you are about to undertake some project, but you feel lazy,
you can ask yourself if, working in such state of mind, will produce
positive results. This will save you from poor performance.
The more positive actions you take, the more successful your will become.
It is better to take less actions, but to make every single action perfect.
If you take many mediocre actions it will result in poor results and no
success. The law of cause and effect never fails.
Existence of God
The Cosmological Argument

This argument or proof proceeds from a consideration of the existence and


order of the universe. This popular argument for the existence of God is
most commonly known as the cosmological argument. Aristotle, much
like a natural scientist, believed that we could learn about our world and
the very essence of things within our world through observation. As a
marine biologist might observe and catalog certain marine life in an
attempt to gain insight into that specific thing's existence, so too did
Aristotle observe the physical world around him in order to gain insight
into his world. The very term cosmological is a reflection of Aristotle's
relying upon sense data and observation. The word logos suggests a study
of something while the noun cosmos means order or the way things are.
Thus, a cosmological argument for the existence of God will study the
order of things or examine why things are the way they are in order to
demonstrate the existence of God.

For Aristotle, the existence of the universe needs an explanation, as it


could not have come from nothing. There needs to be a cause for the
universe. Nothing comes from nothing so since there is something there
must have been some other something that is its cause. Aristotle rules out
an infinite progression of causes, so that led to the conclusion that there
must be a First Cause. Likewise with Motion, there must have been a First
Mover.
This argument was given support by modern science with the idea of the
universe originating in a BIG BANG, a single event from a single point.
Thomas Aquinas offered five somewhat similar arguments using ideas of
the first mover, first cause, the sustainer, the cause of excellence, the
source of harmony
Here is a sample of the pattern:
there exists a series of events
the series of events exists as caused and not as uncaused(necessary)
there must exist the necessary being that is the cause of all contingent
being
there must exist the necessary being that is the cause of the whole series of
beings
First Way: The Argument From Motion
Aquinas had Five Proofs for the Existence of God. Let us consider his
First argument, the so-called Argument from Motion. Aquinas begins with
an observation:
Of the things we observe, all things have been placed in motion. No thing
has placed itself in motion.
Working from the assumption that if a thing is in motion then it has been
caused to be in motion by another thing, Aquinas also notes that an infinite
chain of things-in-motion and things-causing-things-to-be-in-motion can
not be correct. If an infinite chain or regression existed among things-inmotion and things-causing-things-to-be-in-motion then we could not
account for the motion we observe. If we move backwards from the things

we observe in motion to their cause, and then to that cause of motion


within those things that caused motion, and so on, then we could
continuing moving backwards ad infinitum. It would be like trying to
count all of the points in a line segment, moving from point B to point A.
We would never get to point A. Yet point A must exist as we know there is
a line segment. Similarly, if the cause-and-effect chain did not have a
starting point then we could not account for the motion we observe around
us. Since there is motion, the cause and effect chain (accounting for
motion) must have had a starting point. We now have a second point:
The cause and effect relationship among things-being-moved and thingsmoving must have a starting point. At one point in time, the relationship
was set in motion. Thus, there must be a First Cause which set all other
things in motion.
What else can we know about the First Cause? The first cause must have
been uncaused. If it were caused by another thing, then we have not
resolved the problem of the infinite regression. So, in order to account for
the motion that we observe, it is necessary to posit a beginning to the cause
and effect relationship underlying the observed motion. It is also necessary
to claim that the First Cause has not been caused by some other thing. It is
not set in motion by another entity.
The First Cause is also the Unmoved Mover. The Unmoved Mover is that
being whom set all other entities in motion and is the cause of all other
beings. For Aquinas, the Unmoved Mover is that which we call God.
For Aquinas the term motion meant not just motion as with billiard balls
moving from point A to point B or a thing literally moving from one place
to another. Another sense of the term motion is one that appreciates the
Aristotelian sense of moving from a state of potentiality towards a state of
actuality. When understood in this way, motion reflects the becoming
inherent in the world around us. God as First Cause becomes that entity
which designed and set in motion all things in their quest to become. In the
least, it is a more poetic understanding of motion.
St. Thomas Aquinas (1224-1274) was a theologian, Aristotelian scholar,
and philosopher. Called the Doctor Angelicus (the Angelic Doctor,)
Aquinas is considered one the greatest Christian philosophers to have ever
lived.

Much of St. Thomas's thought is an attempt to understand Christian


orthodoxy in terms of Aristotelian philosophy. His five proofs for the
existence of God take "as givens" some of Aristotle's assertions concerning
being and the principles of being (the study of being and its principles is
known as metaphysics within philosophy). Before analyzing further the
first of Aquinas' Five Ways, let us examine some of the Aristotelian
underpinnings at work within St. Thomas' philosophy.
Aristotle and Aquinas also believed in the importance of the senses and
sense data within the knowing process. Aquinas once wrote nothing in the
mind that was not first in the senses. Those who place priority upon sense
data within the knowing process are known as empiricists. Empirical data
is that which can be sensed and typically tested. Unlike Anselm, who was
a rationalist, Aquinas will not rely on non-empirical evidence (such as the
definition of the term "God" or "perfection") to demonstrate God's
existence. St. Thomas will observe the physical world around him and,
moving from effect to cause, will try try to explain why things are the way
they are. He will assert God as the ultimate Cause of all that is. For
Aquinas, the assertion of God as prima causa (first cause) is not so much a
blind religious belief but a philosophical and theoretical necessity. God as
first cause is at the very heart of St. Thomas' Five Ways and his philosophy
in general.
One last notion that is central to St. Thomas' Five Ways is the concept of
potentiality and actuality. Aristotle observed that things/substances strive
from an incomplete state to a complete state. Things will grow and tend to
become as they exist. The more complete a thing is, the better an instance
of that thing it is. We have idioms and expressions within our language
that reflect this idea. For example, we might say that so-and-so has a lot of
potential. We might say that someone is at the peak of their game or that
someone is the best at what they do. We might say It just does not get any
better than this if we are are having a very enjoyable time. Aristotle alludes
to this commonly held intuition when he speaks of organisms moving from
a state of potentiality to actuality. When Aquinas speaks of motion within
the First Way (the cosmological argument) he is referencing the
Aristotelian concepts of potentiality and actuality.
Argument from Contingency

English theologian and philosopher Samuel Clarke set forth a second


variation of the Cosmological Argument, which is considered to be a
superior version. It is called the Argument from Contingency.
Clarkes Argument from Contingency:
1.

Every being that exists is either contingent or necessary.

2.

Not every being can be contingent.

3. Therefore, there exists a necessary being on which the contingent


beings depend.
4. A necessary being, on which all contingent things depend, is what we
mean by God.
5.

Therefore, God exists.

However, there are several weaknesses in the Cosmological Argument,


which make it unable to prove the existence of God by itself. One is
that if it is not possible for a person to conceive of an infinite process of
causation, without a beginning, how is it possible for the same individual
to conceive of a being that is infinite and without beginning? The idea that
causation is not an infinite process is being introduced as a given, without
any reasons to show why it could not exist.
Clarke (1675-1729) has offered a version of the Cosmological Argument,
which many philosophers consider superior. The Argument from
Contingency examines how every being must be either necessary or
contingent. Since not every being can be contingent, it follow that there
must be a necessary being upon which all things depend. This being is
God. Even though this method of reasoning may be superior to the
traditional Cosmological Argument, it is still not without its weaknesses.
One of its weaknesses has been called the Fallacy of Composition. The
form of the mistake is this: Every member of a collection of dependent
beings is accounted for by some explanation. Therefore, the collection of
dependent beings is accounted for by one explanation. This argument will
fail in trying to reason that there is only one first cause or one necessary
cause, i.e. one God .
There are those who maintain that there is no sufficient reason to believe
that there exists a self existent being.

Cause and Effects benefactions/ beneficial for life


When there is always a good cause (intention, move) then there will always be
good effect. For example if a person will work hard for the cause (motive,
intention) of to be the officer then he will surely be the officer so that is the
effect of hard working.

Be good and do good.


If a person will show generosity, mercy and nice ethics then surely he will get
the same so his behaviour has become the cause while the return is effect.

Cause and Effects benefactions/beneficial search out existence of


God
Humans are weak in nature so whenever there are the problems in their lives
then they try to take the support, help or assistance of anyone even in general
life when people face problems then they consult with his close friends or
relatives. Relatives in return support them. So when the humans face problems
they try to take the support of someone at that time they realize the support of
anyone which really support them and solve their problems and when the
problems resolve they feel happiness this attract humans towards the existence
of God.
In ancient times people used to worship fire, sun, moon, powerful animals and
whatnot because they needed the help of someone that is most powerful than
other things in that search they find the real helper.
Suspense is an instinct of quality of humans beings so when they realize the
presence of sun, moon, fire, water, mountains, humans, animals, insects and
other thousands of living beings then they realize that who made them? How a
new life come and how and why death comes? Who orders for rain? At that time
the presence of any powerful existence felt then the humans find that powerful
existence and that is named as God, Bhagwan and many other names.
