Many people believe in s c i e n c e without realizing that what they are doing is rather similar to what people of faith practice,

namely, to believe in something that is l a r g e l y n o t proven. The first step is to become clear

about the fact that we live in a world where people believe in something, whether it is religion or science.

The ones who say that they do not believe something because there is no scientific explanation for it are also ‘believers’ like those who have a certain religious faith,

be it in one of the existing religions or their own belief system.

This fact may not be easy to digest for those who cling to science,

but it is no less a reality for them than it is for those who follow

certain religious traditions

The principlesof science are based on hypotheses which are

considered to be true until they are proven invalid

It is not pleasant to realize that one has been wrong but this is the actual situation modern

science has to face today: There are a great number of phenomena

that cannot be explained

based on traditional science

Rather than clinging to one’s own belief-system be it religious or scientific, we need to have

an honest look at our own thinking

and our

attitude toward others.

Let us be ready to have an open Heart and mind to

new concepts of understanding reality

Generally speaking, people who follow the way of science to not have

too much respect for religious people while people of faith may not see the point

in believing purely in science.

Should there not be a truly open Heart and mind for one another

in trying to understand each other’s point of view given that

neither side is able to explain everything completely?

What it all comes down to is whom do I believe? The person who offers me an explanation

based on scientific laws or the person who answers my questions based on experiences

which have brought him to the point of having a deep faith in a Creator of the universe?

What proof does either side have to offer? Science-oriented people can point to the

achievements of m o d e r n technology which have enabled us to enjoy a high standardof living and to

improve our quality of life while religious people may be

convincing through the Love in their Hearts and the quality of relationships they enjoy

In essence we have to say that our knowledge

of the world is still very small and insufficient.

This is true for both religion

and science, which has especially

become obvious with discoveries

in the area of quantum physics

One of the largest and most expensive experiments ever conceived of to prove or disprove the existence of the ‘God particle’ in the quest to unlock the secrets of the so-called Big Bang and the very fundamental structure of the universe is the Large Hadron Collider in Cern, Switzerland

The theory of the Higgs boson, or

‘God particle,’ underpins

what is commonly

referred to as the Standard

Model of how our universe works

This complex equipment was built in order to find the particle known to scientists as the Higgs boson.

Proof of the Higgs boson would be perceived

as one of the most important scientific discoveries for decades.

Disproving its existence would be even more substantial, as this would lead to a tearing up of current scientific textbooks and a major rethink

about the way the universe works

Either way, we really need to rethink our understanding of how the universe

works. Facing the reality that both religion and science can give only very limited answers we need to

combine the best of both areas and gain a profound understanding of reality by including the most central realm

of Heart and True Love as a basis for our considerations

Rolf Dieter Heuer, director general of the Cern Research Council, confirms that we know just about 5% regarding the matter and energy density of the universe and therefore he engages actively in interdisciplinary symposia to speak with theologians and philosophers for the sake of deeper mutual understanding

To ask the right questions and preserve the borders of one’s own discipline when dealing with the answers is an important point. Scientists need to be open and ready to be questioned by theologians and philosophers concerning the Principle behind all existence, about God and the invisible substantial world

It is in everything and defines

its existence, connecting on

an invisible level the invisible

and the visible like the light that

exists as a carrier of information and travels

between matter

What do we knowabout theimmaterial

realmof spirit that is

everywhere?

The Large Hadron Collider in Cern has been called the largest search engine

in order to find the purpose of life ever built in history,

searching for the spirit behind matter, beyond photons,

elementary particles, nuclear particles

and atoms which are considered to be

basic building blocks of the universe

It is believed that ‘bosons’ give each molecule the mass that allows it to bond into matter.

They also

mediate a field

that fills the

entire universe.

By observing billions of collisions,

scientists have been hoping

they will be able to observe the elusive

Higgs boson before it decays

Billions of Euros/dollars have been given to

scientists for research projects like the Large

Hadron Collider in Cern but how much money

was provided for research into understanding deeper

aspects of the human Heart which produces by far the strongest

electromagnetic field in the body, 60 times stronger than the one created by the brain?

Should we not also invest an equivalent amount of time and money as provided for scientific research to understand the physical world into helping humankind gain deeper insights into how the invisible world of H e a r t functions and interacts with this world of effect?

As human beings who not only just inhabit a finite physical world existing through give and take of certain physical realities but also as social beings existing in families,

communities and societies, greater attention needs to

be given to the realm of H e a r t

and our ability to give and to receive L o v e in order to be able to experience ever growing joy and fulfilment in life
