Of course, the questions as to how did this world begin, what is in this world, how did the world come into existence, how did life start, etc. , are within the scope of scientific deliberations. Therefore, scien- tists can, at most, claim that they have discovered this universe is eternal and that it is governed by a certain set of laws which are automatic and that life started by itself, and on the basis of this research they can conclude academically that there is no God. However, the non-existence of God in itself is not directly within the scope of scientific inquiry. Moreover, it is also worth remembering that, unfortunately, people have generally fallen into dangerous error in that they do not distinguish between the hypotheses of scientists and estab- lished scientific facts. Obviously, scientific declarations can be divided into three types: First, the hypotheses of scientists Second, incomplete scientific experiments Third, established scientific facts Each of these has a different status and grade, and to attach equiv- alent significance to all would be a grave error. But the naïve do just that, and regard every statement that emanates from the mouths of scientists and every idea which is expressed by them, including their incomplete experiments or scientific observations,
