-
The heart might argue that God (through love, devotion, morality, ethics) nurtures the soul, while science governs the physical world (“the machinery”).
-
This view resembles Descartes’ dualism—separating matter (physics) from spirit (God).
-
But such a split diminishes the beauty and sacredness of life (e.g., a child, a rose) to mere mechanics.
-
The author seeks common ground between science and faith, not separation.
-
If God is said to dwell within us, we must explore what science can reveal about the divine.
-
The text recalls distinctions between Western “nothing” and Eastern “nothingness”, linking this to the zero net energy of the universe.
-
The universe began from zero, suggesting “zero” is more than nothing—a mystical foundation of creation.
-
Historically, zero has puzzled theologians, philosophers, and mathematicians.
-
Originating in India, thinkers like Brahmagupta viewed zero as a center between positive and negative.
-
Later, al-Samawal described zero as a transformative balance—positive and negative reflected in it.
-
Zero and infinity are mathematically and conceptually linked—dividing by infinity yields zero, and vice versa—hinting at a deep cosmic and spiritual connection.
