Oft it is said that the universe is so complex that it must necessarily have a creator to handle its complexity. However, the very complexity of the universe indicates that there cannot be a “creator” separate from the universe. (Why should we have a double set of complexities – the complexity of the creator and the complexity of the created?) It can only be a case of self-regulation by the universe itself. In other words, our answers to the mystery of the universe has to be found by studying the universe itself, either in totality or in its particulars. Studying the totality is the approach the scientific culture nurtures and studying the particular it what the spiritual culture nurtures. This external and internal discoveries are the legacy of science and religion. Positing a creator only leads to faith and faith, though a solace to the mind of man, will not enlighten us to the truths of our circumstances.
