Document Summary
Modern world dominated by science and its child i. e. technology. Steve jobs was a technology guy; technology comes from science; new kids on the block- social science who have been around since 19th century i. e sociology, economics, political sciene. Science- sociaologists knowledge of the world is gainted thru research i. e scientific methods. Science cant give us an answer to that; questions on soul also reserved for religions or philosophy. Science deals with factual questions that are empirical questions that rep evidence and evidence is obtained frm using the scientific methods. But its illogical to say that something comes from nothing so something must hve existed prior to universe. Now religion says its first cause, or god. If we ask what came before big bang, you have to employ religion; so god figures are existent in religion and main creators of universe.
