Scientific Knowledge
There lies question on whether scientific knowledge is able to answer all the questions that relate to physical reality. For many years, people have wondered what the earth is composed of, leaving them wondering if the nature's secrets will one day be revealed (Grant 64). However, it is notable that since Galileo discovered the moon in 1608, there has been a remarkable move by his fellow scientists.
A lot of studies in science including the origin of the solar system, sonata of the stars, how matter changes to energy, and detailed works of an atom, among others has not fully exposed the science knowledge. However, the human culture seems to change with science. Worldview patterns prove that complex systems studies by working from their smallest constituents meaning from bottom up. These paradigms also confirm that the laws of nature pounce from deep symmetry writs in to the basics of time, space, and matter. In other words, physical reality bases on the relationship between symmetry and reductionism.
Challenges on the mystery of creation
The mystery of creation is a major question that no one seems to answer. The human origin is a mystery to every past creature. Most people have used the faiths and beliefs of the community to justify creation. The power used here is superpower that is not only questionable, but exists beyond the limits of time, space, and matter. God is supernatural, and cannot be limited to the physical laws. That is why human has assumed a subsistence of a parallel reality that exists outside but directly interacting with the human race.
Scientists through supernatural entities cannot define the mechanism of the natural world. Before science, the Ancient Greece' natural philosophers tried to make sense on the same issue of creation. Before Socrates, the philosophers believed there was a single explanation to all this. The first western philosopher according to Aristotle was Thales who believed water was the original substance. There is a belief that water can change itself, and cycle all the way through earth and sky, and that nature is active vivacious in the rhythm of creation and destruction. The problem comes in constructing an argument explaining an absolute. The question of where the primal or the water came from is still unanswered.
Aristotle is a philosopher who studied the earthly realm that consisted of water, air, and fire, under the lunar sphere, and heavens, planets and the stars. His space included the giant system of spheres from inner planetary sphere, to the outer sphere of the set stars where movement imparted from the outside in. However, Aristotle believed in the supernatural or the absolute power that survives beyond the space of causation.
With the rebirth, nature is described by scientists in a more mathematical and quantitative method. Galileo is among the philosophers who believed the possibility of constructing empirical laws, which described a specific way of unfolding the physical occurrence whether on earth or heaven. Newton publishes on the law of motion saying matter behaves in conventional ways due to the laws of gravitation and motion. Napoleon made a remark on the absence of God but Laplace did not see the need for that hypothesis. Through the construction of the nebula, he had confidence in the origin of the solar system, and he used Newton's physics to include the momentum. However, Laplace did not have the nebula, neither its rotation, although he never mentioned it to napoleon.
By the twentieth century, the mystery of creativity had changed with Einstein's relativity showed space-time is plastic (Sproul 98). The quantum procedures have also proved that there are basic limitations when observers try to obtain information about the material earth. Cosmology being the science involving the origin of the universe depends on a series of untested theories (Grant 64). There are some physical laws like preservation of energy-momentum and charge, or lessening of special degrees of autonomy when using super space models in order to get reasonable solutions past the current known limit of validity. This means it is the theoretical framework that is used, and it depends on the general theories on quantum mechanics and reality beyond the scales of where these theories are known to work (Smollin 2).
This problem is unresolved despite of the new technologies in application. Science may be progressing radically as it strives to test different theories, but this does not mean its business as usual. Science requires scaffolding or a platform from which to operate. Otherwise, it is not able to explain creativity because it cannot explain itself. It is not conclusive that the...
