"Life is an island in an ocean of loneliness/an island whose rocks are hopes, whose trees are dreams/whose flowers are solitude and whose brooks are thirst".says a great personality.
Cosmology, which studies the history and structure of the universe, is considered by many to be the closest science has ever come to religion.And although it provides answers that don't always have a religious resonance, they're sufficiently mysterious in their own way.There are about a hundred billion stars in our galaxy alone and about a hundred billion galaxies altogether. That's a total of 1 followed by 22 zeros stars in all.And that's just the known universe. If we consider multiple universes -such a monster number would have to be multiplied by itself as many times, if not more. No religion comes even close to matching such a vastness.Evolution is ultimately purposeless and without a goal.
The second Noble Truth is simple: the cause of suffering is desire. It doesn't matter how much wealth a man has because he desires more and no amount of pleasure or power really satisfies since he wants more. In short, we desire more of the same illusionary world ruled by egos craving attachment when, actually, there's nothing lasting and unconditional.Just like the great cosmological expanse out there. And that makes it also ultimately finite.To dream and to work - there are, thus, the two sides of the same coin and when they combine, accomplishment follows naturally. The Bible by observing ( Genisis: 3,19), "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread", has an important hint to offer.filling one's hours with work rather than merely filling one's work with hours. The Buddha didn't witness disease, old age and death around him and say, "What the hell, that's the way it is and so be it." He desired to know what could be done about it and then went about doing it. When he got his illumination , he didn't say, "Okay, I'm done here." Instead , he went back because he desired others to know about it too.
Religion, on the other hand, believes its faith points in some direction with a purpose. That makes the faithful believe it's neither big nor small but infinite.The hell has never taken into considerations these factors that can burn into ashes its desire and nor has man depicted its power to slay it like Christ did!.

Gain in Pain
Science and religion present two fundamentally opposing points of view. Scientists believe that 14 billion years ago the universe spontaneously popped out of nothingness and that thereafter life and consciousness randomly evolved from inert matter. Religious people believe an all-powerful, all-knowing God created the entire cosmos along with all its myriad life forms at some (usually) unspecified time in the past.
Now, the funny thing is that for some reason the two systems seem to be involved in a constant catfight with each other when, in fact, they have two foundational aspects in common. The first is, both casually take it for granted that something can be created out of nothing.The second is, both come across as pretty unbelievable stuff.
J K Rowling's net worth was estimated to be $1 billion in the latest Forbes list of world billionaires. A few months earlier, magazine editors named the British author best known for her Harry Potter series as 'the most influential woman in Britain'.
But the latter part is that her marriage had failed. She was jobless with a dependent child. At moments like this does science have any definition about survival.
And finally to top it all,"Religion without science is blind; science without religion is lame." Do these guys know something that we do?
If something can be created from nothing, then definitely revival can be created through pain ! A gain has created pain! Believe this pain and gain the revival,as J K did.
