To Know and to Believe Again and again I read from people of our
time that the existence of God has not been proven and therefore belief in
him is nonsense - or that the findings of the natural sciences have long
since scientifically confuted the idea of a God. In the meantime, it is completely clear from the point of view of
scientific theory that neither the existence of God nor his
non-existence can be proven. The problem can even be explained in a very simple way We humans experience a mental and spiritual inner world through our
thoughts and feelings. Similar to the relationship
between people, so is our relationship to the whole of the reality in which
we live. No human can prove or disprove that such reliance on the entire
reality is meaningful or doesn’t have any sense. But such trust awakens a
sense of responsibility for one's own life, for human coexistence, for living
together in the great community of nature and for preserving the foundations
of life for the future. Such trust in the entirel reality is what we
call "faith". Believing people in the religious sense see God as a guarantee of the
meaningfulness of the world. Neither the meaningfulness of the world nor
the existence of God can be proved or disproved. Therefore, no science or
knowledge can replace faith, but neither can faith replace or negate the
progress of knowledge. Both are two different but humanly meaningful approaches to reality. |
