Both the DARWIN"S theory and the big bang theory are based on a principle."Everything is created by chance"
Take any of our topic(of course engineers are not meant to deal with the scientific principles.Scientists propose some model and the engineers conceptualize that model).We should go deep enough to see what are the essential assumptions being made before doing any experiment. Ok...let us take the electromagnetic theory.
We have the electromagnetic spectrum and we have electric field,magnetic field ,ampere's law,we have biot-savart's law and we have gauss law as well and many more.
All are laws which are based on some assumptions.Take for example Gauss law.We have a point charge enclosed within a surface.
Now let us go a little deep.
1) what is point charge?:-It is some reference charge which is physically very difficult to obtain(I may not be correct)
2)what is charge?It is the amount of extra electrons or the deficiency of electrons on one object.
3)what is electron?A quantum mechanical particle which has both particle and wave nature
4)Did we ever see electrons with our eyes?No
5)why does the electron behave only in a particular way why not any other way?no answer!
why atom is stable in only certain conditions why not in any other conditions?
the answer is by chance...............everything is by chance.....................why is universe is so structured and has some patterns and characteristics and it also follows some laws..................why????
BY CHANCE...................................Such a vague answer..........................We say that we are very scientific and in science everything is empirically verified there is no element of blind faith................
But THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE UNIVERSE OR ATOMS OR ANY OTHER PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL LAW IS/ARE CREATED BY CHANCE IS ITSELF A BLIND FAITH........THE SCIENTISTS DO NOT PUT FAITH IN ANY THING EXCEPT THE BY CHANCE PRINCIPLE.....
Its a very serious thing that is to be discussed by every scientist and engineer.
