VIEWS OF WELL-KNOWN EUROPEAN SCIENTISTS ABOUT GOD

Lord Kelvin [Sir William Thomson], who had been teaching Natural Philosophy for fifty years in the University of Glasgow of Scotland and made new discoveries in Physics and Mathematics. Many new inventions and applications are credited to his name. In April 1903, while delivering a speech in the annual function of the University College of London he said that 'Science believes in one Creator of the earth and heavens with solid certainty and perfect faith and forces us to believe in the existence of that Absolute Able. The Creator of our entity and its Sustainer and Patron is not a lifeless matter but it is that Force through which the bodies are born and receive direction. Research and revelations of Science emphasize upon us to bear total belief in the Eternal Existent. When observe carefully the appurtenance of the movement and halting (and intervening) of the natural changes and revolutions and Mojudaat (beings), we are left with no other option but to arrive at the aforesaid consequence Lord Creator is manifested through this his wisdom and creativity which is seen in the arrangement and order of the system of universe and the begins. Science compels us that we should put our faith in such a Power that induces all the physical actions of the universe and puts on right Course and that Creator is totally different than the natural, electrical or mechanical power. He has no concern with the theory of the involuntary bonding of the particles with each other, which has been unanimously declared by all the scientists of modern age as extremely absurd and unreasonable. That is, all the scientists and researchers agree on this fact that the universe and all that is in universe does not exist because of the accidental correlation and unity but instead the beings have come into existence with the wisdom and Ability of a Wise Entity and Lord of Will. Those changes, which continuously happen in the living bodies, are also not automatic but come into action with the direction of the Creator and as per the preset rule. In all these actions, Science recognizes the Existence of a Creator.

Forty years back, that I was on a walk in the crop fields along with the famous Chemist of Germany namely Doctor Lebuk. I enquired from him if these plants take birth with a chemical action and grow. He said negated and said that in his opinion these plants cannot take birth spontaneously same as the book of Botany cannot be complied by itself. Every action of devotion is breach of custom near Physics, Chemistry and Geology. Think liberally and openly and do not fear to ponder as if you will ponder well, you will not avoid bearing faith in the Existence of God that is the foundation of religion and original principle. Science is never foe of the religion but instead it is helpmate'.

Lord Salisbury was not only a statesman (Mudabbir) but was a renowned scholar as well. He was appointed Minister of India in 1847 and 1886 in the Conservative Ministries and was two times elected Prime Minister of Britain. What other proof can be of his intellectual approach that he was elected the President (Chancellor) of the meeting of the British Association in 1840. He had strong dialogues exchanged with Herbert Spencer about his Concept of Evolution in the Contemporary Review and the Ninth Century and many scholarly materials were published from both sides in many issues (of the journal). He had said in Oxford during an address that 'for long time I have the opinion that if evolution has taken place in the plants and animals, it does not exist in the Natural Selection and the real concept of Evolution is quiet unlike than this. I have pondered and thought much and have arrived at this opinion that those researches that have been done concerning the beginning and propagation of animals for the last some year, the ratiocination for the aims and objectives has been fully overlooked. Upon seeing the universe carefully, this fact becomes clear that a Wise Entity and a Single-Minded Entity has created the beings for a specific purpose.
