God, Quantum Physics, and the Universe: Unraveling the Connection

I wouldn’t call myself religious. However, I certainly believe in the divine consciousness of the Universe. To me, the Universe is the ultimate creator. We all know that the universe exists but don’t know when it began and when it will end. Both scientists and spiritual leaders are seeking answers to this question. For millions of years, human beings have been trying to solve the mystery of the universe in both scientific and religious centers, nevertheless, we know very little about this. Common sense tells us that God is the manifestation of the Universe. Just like we don’t know the reality of the universe, we also do not know the reality of God. We only know that God is never born and is immortal. This is where scientific and religious thoughts converge. If you believe in God, you should also believe in quantum physics. Everything in this universe is made of particles and thus everything here is connected.

These days fanatic religious leaders try to discard science. However, if you look at great scientists, most of them were well-read about various religious scriptures. A study showed that 83% of scientists believe in the existence of God or the Creator. Even though they believed in God, many of them were not religious. Charles Darwin often had fluctuating beliefs about God, Einstein also believed that scientific study should be able to reveal the mystery of the creator. Carl Sagan wrote, ” Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality”. My personal favorite scientist Neil De-Drass Tyson also believes that the universe lives within us all. We all are connected to the universe. Francis Collins said, “God can be found in the cathedral or in the laboratory”.

Therefore, those who try to disassociate spirituality from science are nothing but fools. I do not believe in religions that put us in boxes and separate us from others. I like to read religious texts from every religion. Basically, all of them say the same thing.

Ik Onkaar (There is one God)

Sat Naam (Whose name is Truth)

Kartaa Purakh (Is the creator)

Nirbh-a-o Nirvair (Has no fear, Has no hate)

Akaal Moorat (Is omnipresent)

Ajoonee Saibhn (Never born and Self-perpetuating)

Back to science and spirituality. The Universe is in motion and all of us are in motion like on a potter’s wheel. Here is where Newtonian law coincides with spiritual philosophies. I am particularly fond of Newton’s third Law which is so similar to the concept of Karma in Hinduism and Buddhism. Even in other religions, there is a concept of sin, hell, and heaven which basically talks the same.
