Can God Be A Scientific Phenomenon?
Only those things that can be observed can be the subjects of scientific investigation. Once a certain phenomenon is observed, scientifically we can also make testable and falsifiable inferences from it. But a phenomenon that is, in and of itself, beyond space and time cannot be deemed as a subject of scientific inquiry. Our observations can only lead us to conclude that we and this entire universe seem to be created. After this point, we need guidance of a messenger of God whom God directly communicates with. Through this messenger, God confirms to us that our initial conclusion was indeed correct, and that this universe is created by God so that He may test us. He also tells us that the purpose of this test is to select people for God’s paradise. Whoever is selected to enter this paradise shall be granted an eternal life of joy and comfort. On the other hand, those who deny this message from God after recognizing it as truth shall endure a lot of pain and suffering in the afterlife.
