Spirituality and Science: Is There A Connection?

The connection between spirituality and science and the brain and the God, has been a matter of research since ages. While God relates to spirituality and the brain relates to science, it is still a matter of controversy if the creature called ‘God’ at all exists and if so, can the human body actually connect to Him through the path of spirituality? When millions of such questions are haunting the mind, scientific research is on a high and is constantly coming up with reports which are amazing.

Recently, a scientific research found out that it is the heart that can be what we think as the first point of contact between the so called creator and the physical body. The biggest evidence of that is the development pattern of a fetus. Research shows that in an unborn fetus, the heart starts beating even before the formation of the brain. Even when some scientists rubbish the evidences as nothing but pure science and disapprove of any existence of any link between the two, a thin line of connection appears from somewhere or the other and establishes the presence of a supernatural power.

While several religions mark God as infinite, omnipotent and beyond any transformation, science projects God as a creative process which is constantly unfolding itself and has the potential to undergo limitless expansion. The basis of science lies in seeing, measuring and proving. When certain happenings can just be limited to personal experience, science discards them as mere belief. After all, spirits cannot be detected under microscopes.

Spirituality can thus be called a paranormal science, a branch of science, which studies cases beyond the reach of the normal sensory channels and happenings that defy the laws of Science. There are certain things that cannot be perceived by ordinary human senses. Beyond the five senses, there is believed to be a sixth sense. A sense that is believed to be present in every human being but only time, sometimes practice and sometimes circumstances can lead to its discovery within us, a sense that connects the spiritual world to the physical world.
