What is the man? – A scientist or spiritual being?
Let us see who the man is by nature? Is he created to live and act based on some scientific data and logic? No. Man is made as spiritual beings. He is a spiritual being because he is created to live by faith. Take any activities of man and analyze them. You will be surprised to see that he lives by faith. Now when we hear the word faith our immediate reaction would be to think of some photos, images or religious settings in our mind. That is not faith. According to the definition is given in Hebrews 11:1 in the Bible,
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”.
In other words, we hope for something and make a move to see it in reality. In this way, we live by faith every day. When we read the scientific work published by a scientist, we believe his work because we have faith in that scientist, though we were not present during the experiments he conducted. Our thoughts and actions show that we do everything by faith. When you say, “I will come tomorrow”, you are taking a step of faith. If you do not have faith you cannot tell this sentence. For this reason to any scientist who argues against faith and creation, I challenge them stating that they have no right to say a sentence like “I will come tomorrow”. A true scientist will work out the probability of his very existence and the chances of him reaching that destination on that day. In practice, no scientists can predict and tell that. Who can guarantee his own life and the future? These explanations lead us to conclude that human beings are created as spiritual beings and they live by faith every day.
