Albert Einstein, the greastest scientist of all times once remarked : 'The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.' Another famous philosopher Bertrand Russel once commented 'We know very little and yet it is astonsihing that we know so much, and still more astonishing that so little knowledge (of science) can give us so much power.' Read the above paragraph and answer the following questions : (i) Are the two remarks identical ? What is the underlying basis of the two remarks ? (ii) How do these remarks apply in day to day life ?

Explanation

(i) Yes, the two remarks are identical. Both the remarks are based on a simple fact that the behaviour of everything in this vast universe is governed by a few laws, which are well defined and well understood.
(ii) God created all inert thing in the universe and also the human beings. Just as behaviour of inert things is governed by a few laws only , all human beings are also governed by a few simple principles. For example : As you harvest, so you reap. Do good. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones on others, and so on. These simple principles apply equally to all human beings.
