Since the beginning of time, the aspect of the existence of a conscious grand designer has dominated all areas of life and till today the question of how did we get here has remain the only question that we still can't answer. Many Scientist has believed that the universe came into existence out of nothing. And it was the force of gravity that gave order to chaos from an imperfect world.
I can recall a famous quote from the great max plank when he said,
All matter exist and originated by the virtual of a forces which brings the neuclus of an atom together, and behind these force there is an intelligent mind.
These quote has made me to do some thinking about the existence of a conscious being.
We as Scientist believe that Space,time, matter and energy all came from the big bang and that there was nothing outside the bigbang, and the universe expanded from the beginning and it is still expanding till date.
Everything that the universe needed to survive till today all came from the matter and energy that existed at the beginning of time.
Stephen Hawking one of the most famous Scientist believe that gravity played an important role in the creation of the universe, which infact seems correct, but the existence of a conscious being was also being eliminated here and the grand designer was given to gravity.
Thought experiment
There are also some Scientist who have supported the view that there exist a conscious being and these was how they proved it
Let assume you have a room filled with aluminum materials and all the materials needed to build a fighter jet, these room has all the forces of nature as we all know, then you left the room for close to 1year , so when you return, are you going to meet A fighter jets build out of aluminum, the absolute answer is NO. Now in a second senerio in the same room , a conscious being was placed in the room, with all the materials needed for creation of the fighter jet. Given such time, when u should return you will have a fighter jet standing in the room.
It only takes a conscious being to bring order out of chaos. Well these questions of the existence of a conscious being has lead to the creation of Mind and matter. And does the mind affect matter. We can see these in many Scientific movies like Kyle xy where with only the mind you can control matter which are around you.
The existence of a conscious being is a wide topic that everyone has his or her own say, so these article is open to opinions and what your say on these.
Interesting philosophical question you arise. I will not try to answer it, philosophy sometimes is about asking questions rather than answering them, questions that trigger the readers' thinking.
