Assalaam alaykum, When I look at a tree, I imagine the leaves to be individuals forming a society. And when winter comes, death takes us down to the ground, while erasing all our material distinctions. – Dr Adrien ChauvetBurhan Institute of Research Join the communityhttps://chat.whatsapp.com/Iu06N3huAnbGk5mQa8tUfa https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61570321078384 Visit https://burhan.institute/ Follow @DrAdrienChauvethttps://x.com/dradrienchauvet

From Science to Faith – video series – part 19
Salaam alaykum, People are attune to different arguments for the existence of God. As a scientist, I am sensitive to the natural argument, one aspect of which is to appreciate how exceptional life is, regardless which theory you ascribe to.

From Science to Faith – video series – part 18
Salaam alaykum, You believe in a scientific theory because it helps you make sense of the world, even if it requires you to believe in intangible entities like electrons, EM waves, and forces. Such belief is solely based on indirect evidences, and it is sufficient. Similarly, indirect evidences suffice in religion. Following up on theContinue reading “From Science to Faith – video series – part 18”
From Science to Faith – video series – part 17
Salaam alaykum, Light can either be seen as a wave or as a particle. This example demonstrates how an explanation shapes the way we see and experience the world. Like religion, science reframes our perceptions.

From Science to Faith – video series – part 16
Assalaam alaykum, Believing in the unseen is common practice in science. The electron is one example. No one ever saw an electron. But such belief has conditions.

From Science to Faith – video series – part 15
Assalaam alaykum, Probabilities are not Truth but are still effective in building convictions. This is true in science as well as in religion. Following up on the “From Science to Faith” series, in this video I go through Ch 2.2 to discuss how probabilities are used in science to make sense of the world. –Continue reading “From Science to Faith – video series – part 15”
From Science to Faith – video series – part 14
Assalaam alaykum, Science might provide the best material explanation of the world, but it also demonstrates how limited our understanding of the universe is! That limitation might not prove religion, but certainly gives space for it. Following up on the “From Science to Faith” series, in this video I go through Ch 2.1d to discussContinue reading “From Science to Faith – video series – part 14”
What to seek in religion?
Assalaam alaykum, When you pray or perform any other act of worship, do you focus on the form, or do you seek that spiritual experience? Instead of seeing them separated it is more productive to see the act of worship as the tool to develop spirituality. – Dr. Adrien Chauvet Join the communityhttps://chat.whatsapp.com/Iu06N3huAnbGk5mQa8tUfa Follow @DrAdrienChauvetContinue reading “What to seek in religion?”
