One should welcome opening of a debate among scientists, philosophers and theologians over the origin of universe. This event is being arranged by CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, and Switzerland in the wake of Higgs Boson particle discovery. They intend to concentrate on the Big Bang theory to discuss how our universe began. A number of professors, philosophers, scientists and theologists are participating in this conference. Debate is expected to be heated one as both sides will demand the other one to accommodate its view point.
Though it’s beyond any doubt that they may come to any conclusion, however, it’s promising to at least have the debate. Science is still on a journey to discover things by imitating the nature; they are far away from creation. Same is applicable for religions which are based on divine scriptures. Apparently both are working in isolation; they need to work hand-in-hand for the future generations’ sake.
