Incomprehensibility of the Universe Breeds the Comprehensible through Faith
The intelligibility of the universe stands as a profound paradox, raising questions about why it is both comprehensible and governed by discernible patterns. This apparent comprehensibility underpins the argument that modern sciences emerged partly due to foundational religious beliefs. Fundamental to these beliefs is the conviction that the universe is distinct from the divine, permitting objective observation and experimentation. Furthermore, the universe’s inherent intelligibility is attributed to an intelligent creator. These two principles—separating the divine from the material world and recognizing an intelligent design—set the stage for the development of physical sciences. Historical context reveals that many scientific pioneers were individuals of faith, who, despite their later endeavors to separate science from religion, worked upon a foundation established by religious thought, as evidenced even in figures like Einstein.
