Hey kids! 🤗 Have you ever wondered how science teaches us so much about the world? Like why the Earth spins? 🌍 How electricity works? ⚡ Or why stars shine? ✨
But wait a moment! 🚦 Can science also tell us the purpose of something? Or the difference between right and wrong? 😯
Albert Einstein 🧠 once said:
“We can discuss the moral foundations of science, but we cannot discuss the scientific foundations of morality!”
🔎 What does that mean?
Science can tell us that if we don’t water a plant, it will wither 🌱💧. But it cannot tell us whether taking care of a plant is good or bad!
A Nobel Prize-winning scientist, Sir Peter Medawar 🏆, said:
“Science cannot answer all questions because it cannot answer the ones children often ask:”
👶 Where did I come from?
🚀 Where am I going?
❓ Why am I here?
So, where do we find answers to these questions? 🤔
📚 In literature, philosophy, and theology! These subjects help us understand the purpose of life, what is good, what is bad, and how we should live. 😊
💡 A fun example:
Science can tell you that adding color to water will change its appearance 🎨, but it cannot tell you which color is the most beautiful! 🎨✨
🔬 Science is amazing! But science alone isn’t enough. To understand love, morality, and purpose, we need other fields of knowledge too! ❤️📖
So kids! Stay friends with science to understand the world, but also explore literature, philosophy, and history to answer life’s big questions! 📚💡
