God in Two Minutes by Prem Kamble6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() Whereas the world of Matter or the Physical World has been more or less explained by physics and mathematics, the world of Human Mind still remains in the realm of the unknown, and hence in the realm of god.

Science helped us bust most of the myths of the physical world, and god was no longer required to explain most of the physical phenomena. Everything that was unknown was explained as work of god.

Man has made giant strides in understanding the world around him. ![]()
