Reality is an abstract concept that cannot be explained completely.

It is a concept
that cannot be set in stone like a mathematical equation. No one can truly understand reality or
explain what reality is. The closest we can get to reality is through science. I agree that science
tells us the truth about reality. Day by day, scientists and researchers are discovering new
scientific theories that explain certain phenomenon in our world and these theories can
collectively lead us towards the truth about reality. Science has been around since humans have
been alive; it is our way of understanding how the world behaves around us.
Science has given us a mass amount of knowledge on how our body functions, how other
species bodies function. It has helped us understand why objects fall down and not up. Science
has given us the ability to heal injured or diseased animals and humans. It has provided us deep
understanding of what we are made of and our bodies chemistry. Science has gone as far as
discovering the simplest of all particles that exist in matter.
There can be an argument that religion provides truth, but religion does not nearly have
as much proof as scientific theories do. Majorly accepted scientific theories have hard evidence
and mathematics behind whereas religion only has knowledge passed down from history with no
legitimate proof. Science brings us closer to the truth because everything in science is on the
scientific method. This method is a systematic attempt at discovering or learning new theories
through hypothesis, observations and repeated testing to validate or invalidate the hypothesis.
This method is trusted and reliable at obtaining new theories and concepts of our physical and
natural world. Through the continuation of discovering new phenomenon using the scientific
method, science can bring us towards the truth of reality.
The issue with the thesis and explanations provided above is the definition of science
and truth. Truth and science may have different definitions to different people. Has science
been in this universe to help us understand reality, or is science simply a tool that humans have
created to attempt to understand the natural and physical behaviour of our world. No one can
explain that because we have all accepted science as what helps us explain the world around us
but we do not truly know if it explains reality. Scientific theories that are accepted in the
scientific community are accepted because they work to explain a certain phenomena, but is that
theory really proving the truth. Scientific theories are constantly being replaced by other theories
that work better. This ever more slightly proves that we use science as a tool to explain and
understand the world but it does not truly explain reality.
If we deny god from the truth of reality that shows that all knowledge of the world can be
obtained through science which creates a bias towards the religious communities. We cannot
deny the religious community at all because even the scientific community does not know the
truth about reality, so denying the religious communities are ignorant. Science sometimes cannot
be trusted at all, if the scientist or researcher is greedy and simply looking for publicity and
money, they can lie about theories and prove their theories through false information and facts.
To laymen, they would not be able to tell the difference but would believe it because they do not
know better. Although the scientific method seems reliable and trustworthy, someone with a
biased mind can provide false observations due to their mindset and thus validate their
hypothesis for the same biased scientists. Although science is the closest we can come to
explaining the truth about reality, no one can know if science really tells us the truth about
reality.
