Clearly, then, both religion and science are founded on faith — namely, on belief in the existence of something outside the universe, like an unexplained God or an unexplained set of physical laws, maybe even a huge ensemble of unseen universes, too. For that reason, both monotheistic religion and orthodox science fail to provide a complete account of physical existence.

TAKING SCIENCE ON FAITH
By Paul Davies



the history of current universe is a dance across the cosmic stage by radiation ,gravity, galaxies, matter and stars as to a script written by laws of physics .Our challenge is understand the script after arriving at the show 14 billion years late .Why the script was written and what is its nature is the question .As we are beggining to accumulate the observations that could settle the issue of where the universe come from .. where it is going ?we can speculate on some profound cosmological questions..do space and time last for ever ?Is there only one universe?whether we will ultimately reach in finding a grand unified theory that will explain all.....

The notion that the universe has and will exist in the present stage for all eternity had taken the beating after hubble's discovery of a expanding universe were clues available points to a Big freeze as the final fate .In the future there will be a time when all the observational clues that there existed a universe with galaxies and civilizations will be lost, the final death of the universe resulting from radiation loss and evaporation of black holes Here comes the question of Paul davis .. Does some thing exists out side the universe independent of physical laws ? it seems to be too hasty to get into a athesitic view that universe has no purpose

(*Notes :here again it seems odd that that the persons who tell us about the beauty of universe and life seems to be agonostics like carl Sagans and atheists like Richard Dawkins. ..A pale Blue dot ,symphony of science video or a the quote of Richard Dawkins from Unweaving the rainbow (“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively outnumbers the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.” ) cherishes and enhances our view of the universe that we live than a preachers sermon.assearting that the religion he beleive is unique .)

The question of a entity or physical laws ungraspable residing out side universe must not be taken in a conventional semitic religious prespective (Like a week of creation ,earth as the centre,revelations , Angels ,Satans .. and all such petty folklores even though with its lyrical beauty dosent come under preview here here ... ) .
