Science and spirituality

Science let us understand everything around us through scientific method and


experiments. In this discipline we discover things that cannot be seen through naked eyes. We
are what we are now because of explanation given to us by science. But is it only science can
give us the satisfactory answers to everything? For me, maybe there are other discipline that
has their own explanation to something science can’t. Just like our knowledge about our spirit,
science still studying this phenomenon. we come across the spiritual topics through religious
sec. so, what is spirituality? Is spirituality opposite to science discipline? When I was just
begging in college, I once red an article saying that science and spirituality is like the two side of
a coin and that the aim of science is to uncover the deepest spiritual truths, and the aim of the
spirituality is to search for the cause behind scientific facts. People who have chosen science as
their field are not much different from people who spend time engaging in the spiritual search.
They are both seeking the answers to the same question, but in different ways. These people
are both finding the hidden law of nature, the higher power created everything and they use
their discoveries to better the lives of other people. I just want to emphasized what he said that
the most important thing science could be studying is to give an end to all psychological
suffering of all people. This for me has advantage and also disadvantage to humans. I say, this is
an advantageous in human race because if science can discover a way for us to not feel pain or
any psychological trauma, then, people can function more and better than before. But this
discovery can be a little scary because this can say that there is really no limitation to what
humans can do. For me, our flaws, pain and other negative aspects are part of us. The past
experiences and emotions are one of our trait as humans. We are not humans if we do not
care, we do not feel or even if we do not have empathy or sympathy to other individuals and
things around us. We can say that that discovery can move us to a higher way of thinking, if we
reach that certain enlightenment through science what will we going to do next? What will we
question next? Through this TedEx talk I realize how selfish humans are and why do people still
trying to understand the natural laws and the higher power that created everything. Even
though people are naturally selfish for me, there will always times that we go out of our way
and be selfless just to help the people we treasured and love. This way of thinking is one of the
reason why we are called humans. We may not give a justifiable answers or result to others by
what we are doing but if it is the thing that will give you a peace of mind you will still do it
because it’s what yourself wanted to do.
