Hundreds of years have passed but, even today, man has not been able to give right place to human and his achievements. Unseen or the divine power mostly steals the show when we are unable to comprehend something. When science tries to explore the oblivious world of nature, the religious fanatics try to make fun of the scientists by saying that they are never going to find the mysteries of God. Like other religious scriptures, Bhagvat Gita says,” Explore within and you will find the whole universe in your own existence. That is what scientists are trying to do when they try to go beyond electron, proton, and neutron to know about Boson.

In the long history of mankind, there has never been a period when science and religion developed harmonious relations. A kind of duel was always present there. Science, on one hand, was trying to find the clues to the Universal mystery of creation, and on the other hand, the fanatic religious priests were trying to impose the beliefs of the savage ancestors even on the developing and scientific community. In extreme cases many so called atheists were put to death and many famous scientists were made to recant.

How horrible the idea of cutting open the belly of the pregnant woman to bring out a child may have seemed to the religious fanatics who believed that no one had right to meddle in the God’s plans. They believed that woman was made to serve man, and children were divine gifts, but, perhaps, none of them had ever thought that only a few of those divine gifts survived in the absence of modern medical science. The population of the world touched the first billion mark in 1846 A.D., but very surprisingly, it took just 100 years to double that number with the help of the science and the techniques applied at the time of delivery and care taking of children. In this case the religious insistence did not object.

On the contrary, the Vatican Church accepted to change certain hardcore religious restrictions and allowed scientific intervention in certain religious theories. I believe the time is ripe for the world to think and decide seriously whether the world is to continue in the same way as it has proceeded in the preceding two thousand years after the advent of Christianity. So far no religious theory, I include all the religions in my list, has, come to be even near to the scientific truth of the time.

I take a few examples to justify that the religious insistence is the biggest impediment in the creation of a beautiful, harmonious all-acceptable world. A Hindu, a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist, or the people belonging to other religious groups, all have piety which is directly in opposition to all that they do in their daily lives. For example all religions, in one way or another, say that physical pain or suffering is the punishment, as a result of our or our ancestors’ misdeeds. I have a question here: if it is a punishment from a divine power, then going to doctors to get rid of that suffering is straight defiance and disobedience of God.

Everyday, in our daily life we defy or deny nature, in fact God, hundreds of times in our daily habits: we protect ourselves from the severity of nature by clothing ourselves, we cook food as we wish, we snatch away the right of the calf and drink cow milk, we rob the store houses of trees in the form of fruits and eat them. Isn’t all this disobedience of God?

Here the religious insistence takes a softer stand and the priests cite the examples of the prophets who had accepted all these deeds as just. I conclude that the religious insistence, sooner or later, is going to bow before the scientific resolve which is and has been proving the religious theories wrong one by one.
