This is an interesting question, to which there are a multitude of answers. Many scientists, past and present, believe in a god of some kind, whether a specific God, such as the Christian one, or some form of 'higher being'. Notable Christians who are scientists might include Rev Dr. John Polkinghorne KBE, FRS (Theologian and Particle Physicist), as well as Dr. David Wilkinson (PhD in Astrophysics, PhD in Theology). Both have written extensively on the compatibility of science and religion. Dr Damadian, the inventor of MRI is a medical scientist who believes in God as does Dr John Baumgartner a world leader in the field of geological computer modeling in the field of plate tecktonics.

Often, people who say they believe in a god are merely "playing it safe" among their believer friends. It might be socially or politically advantageous to play the role of a Christian, for example, if you're a member of Congress and most of the people in your district are as well.

How can you save yourself from the symptoms of black magic?

Simply do not believe in it. It is difficult to understand how in a modern world, driven by science and technology, that anyone can still believe in occult magic. Magic, as in spells and curses, potions and wands, is fantasy; it is not real. The "affects" or "symptoms" that some might feel who believe they are victims of black magic, typically experience such as a matter of psychosomatic manifestation. If there is no belief, there is no affect. Combat ignorance with knowledge and understanding. Become educated.

How do you use the word intelligence in a sentence?

Many believe that there is intelligent life on other planets. My friend Abagail is very intelligent and understands everything in school. The car windshield wipers are called "intelligent" because they can sense wetness from raindrops.


Why alchemy considered as a pseudo science?

Alchemy was a very genuine scientific inquiry in the middle ages, but it has since been made obsolete by the science of chemistry, which has a much better understanding of chemical phenomena than alchemy did. Anyone still practicing alchemy in the 21st century has failed to understand that science has advanced since the middle ages.
