could someone tell me what is the role of natural science on the way of human spirituality progression?

Question

Natural science has been helping us a lot and we can say besides enabling us to develop the human technology by it we underestand the outer world of us,the outer space and our environment.but nowadays what I really would like to know is what it can give the indivisual ,studying it, helping them to know innerside of ourselves,approaching to god.

I appreciate the one answering my question in advance and ask them to give a bit information about themselves if they dont mind starting from myself; i am a 17 year old body studying in physics and mathematical science.

Answer 2

I will tell you about myself separately, but I am a physicist, a metallurigst and a spiritual seeker. In age, much elder to you.

Science leads to spirituality since science tells us the limtations of the individual mind and a indiviual life time. But collectively, we have progressed over thousands of years in science. Similarly, the individual is part of the whole and the whole is a collection of individuals. That is spirituality.

Thories of cosmology and Indian scriptures about the creation and the destruction of the universe are remarkably similar. I can share much more but lack of time and the difficulty of typing a lot of matter prevents me.

With best wishes

Answer 3

I was trained as a chemist some time ago, but retained an inquisitive, accretive mind. I don't know anymore if I was ever really young, I grew up and out of it so fast. I sense in myself something of the Gandhian - an 'old soul'.
In striving to respond to your question, many things need consideration. I will leave most of them for future discussion. Time does not allow me to write a book, just now. (Do you catch an irony here?)
I always go back to my Three First Principles - There is one God. He made {and makes?} One Creation. This Creation is One, The Truth. All else is reasoned theory and argument. As for Approaching God, the One Creator of all that is, both the inside and outside of ourselves, this approaching is of course not possible in the end. It would mean that what is created would apprehend its creator, as if the chair might know fully of the carpenter, his tools, and the stars in the heavens. Yet, it is said that the reason for all of this Creation is for our training and education, to see what we will make of it, in understanding it and in interacting with it.
Adam (as the First Man) was given the rest of the Living World to name (encapsulate the characteristics of it in labels) and to tame (use these chacteristics for a better life). We have, after him, also named and tamed in another degree the rest of Natural Science, in part, by assuming [after observing] that what happens in a given 'way' will always happen, given that 'way'. God, in His All-Powerful, All-Knowing Way, may, since He is the Absolute Lord, ordain that a 'way' will have more dimensions than we know and thus the Natural Sciences will not always be predictable, and may therefore appear untameable, to be unknown - until we gain the knowledge to understand the reasons for the outcomes.
This has happened many times in the History of Science, that we didn't know enough about what was happening in front of us to control the outcome of our attempts to do the same thing again, predictably. Prayer is one 'way' by which we attempt to modify what appears about to be occurring. Witchcraft is another 'way'. The extent to which they appear effective is arguable, depending on your belief system. [Back to the Three First Principles or get onto subjective 'slippry slopes' and into the 'quicksands'] Consider, however, their methods and motivations, their dependencies and values. There are conditions which must be fulfilled or my First Principles are violated - for me, these are not, can not be, violated without calling upon dreams, disorientations, and final destruction - the denial of Truth.
In an extension of the thought on the dimensions of things, the Natural Sciences have recently defined through gravitational analysis that there is more mass around us [by more than 85%!] than is explained by the quantities of the physical elements we can define as present. This is referred to as 'dark', or 'Brown' matter. Currently, we see little or no interaction of this stuff with our observable matter and energy, but does that mean it doesn't exist - other than to perturb our gravity data and theories? I think it is that we are on the edge of 'seeing' just how vast is the Creation we do inhabit, that we are are just on a pebble on the seashore, somewhere.
What about the other pebbles, other lives on this pebble? That is, really, the root of your OP question, and another question to answer, and I am expected to do other things today. Commentary is invited.
