Science and faith... Interesting point of view

http://www.hindu.com/op/2005/03/22/stories/2005032200211700.htm

i was reading this interesting article on the relation of science n faith that was discussed in this article... maybe science and religion need not be orthogonal to each other.

it says that the conflict arises because we believe that science can be proven wrong where as most of believe that the scriptures are always rite. agreed that is why the "faith" is used to describe religious attachment. but often we forget that most (if not all) the scriptures that r prevalent in this world have passed through human intervention. a fact that all of us ignore blatantly. then by saying this i do not need to mean that all of them have to be rehashed or rewritten or thrown away. as far the scientifc theories that exist are as rite as a "human being" can be... and that should keep us firmly planted on the ground and prevent us from claming it to be all "true". there is balance that is needed between what we know, what we do not know, what we understand, and what we do not understand.

knowing and understanding maybe imples true.
but not knowing and/or not understanding does not imply not true.

tsunami asia

tsunami... just 2 days ago it has happened and already there is so much for everyone to say... each one of us want to help reasons varying form person to person. and all r honest n geniune efforts but none the less. if as much help as is being said is coming from all accross and it does fall in the right places and given to the right people... is it enf? will the compensation for the lives be enf? will they be restored? many will say that we can do all only as much... there is no going back. true no going back... but r we really moving forward? and what will happen if this help does not go to the right places to the right people? who is to be blamed? do we need to blame? how do we ever know that it was used in the right manner? do we need to know? do we trust our fellow human being to do the right thing? if not... y not?
will we accept that it was a natural disaster... or still keep thinking that is was the punishment form the "gods" for arrest of some random person? or is it someones predictions coming true? will we learn that there is only so much abt "nature" that we can contorl? will we learn that the more we try to dictate "nature" the less tame it will become?
will we ever help just to help? not for the fact that it will please "god" or it will make "me" better human being or because "i" am richer than the rest ... help just because there is someone who needs it! even if there is no gain in it for "me".
