GROWTH OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE

There is no such claim in the science that every natural phenomenon has been discovered and fully analysed. There are certain fields of science where knowledge is only preliminary. Knowledge about scientific phenomena has been increasing day by day. There is nothing like 'ultimate truth'or final proof. Everything is likely to get changed with new findings of research.

Science does not believe in God and in supernatural powers. Rather, it deals with natural phenomena. Religion and science should not be mixed. Religion is a matter of faith and faith cannot be verified or can not be put to experimentation.
