As more and more life is dependent on science, it becomes difficult for spiritual leaders to completely ignore science. So more and more are using science and logic to explain God.
Mostly Common man who are even well educated in other fields does not understand the details of logic, mathematics and science in depth. Now these spiritual leaders will give some explanations, which may not be 100% correct. Most of the people got thrilled to see science and logic in religion and accept from the face value of leaders. Also when these leaders quote some thing , nobody has time to actually check the source. Sometime these sources are in different languages and even translations can be manipulated at will.
If you talk about great leaders, they never try to explain things in a logical way after they experienced it. They might have started their journey by asking logical questions but in the end they end up in illogical domain. So they themselves never try to ride in both domains as they know that the basis of God or religion itself is beyond logic.
But the modern followers are trying to create balance between science and religion. So where ever they can explain even absurdly they try to use science. Where it is not possible, they go back to faith, God and experiences which does not make any sense as far as science is concerned. It is not possible to explain whole phenomenon with the combination of two.
Phenomenon related to science or technology is hard to explain with faith or experiences. Don’t expect to learn logically the phenomenon related to God or religion. Choose the right tools for exploring any path. Most of the time, tools and paths are totally different and opposite . If there is a God, it can only be experienced and cannot be talked about. It is a journey. It is difficult to explain with logic, science or mathematics. If any phenomenon cannot be explain with scientific tools, it will never be a part of science.
There is nothing complex about anything. Working may be complex but understanding is not. You don’t have to be Einstein to understand relativity. It is better to understand little on your own rather than completely based on some else belief or idea. At least you can build on it. Take all the time and don’t jump on conclusions. There might be ups and down, confusion but in the end you will be in better position.
