Science and Uncertainty

I already had an initial working understanding about the massive role science and technology play in an individuals life, in this day and age! Science has aided in the discovery of same quite spectacular things and without it our lives would be significantly different.

A popular view of scientists is that they deal with uncertainties, but they are (or should be) the first to admit the limitations in what they know. Many believe science is ALWAYS correct and with science, there are no limits. This is largely false, Science limits our knowledge and understanding as there are several things Science simply can not solve! For example, how was the Universe created? Through religion and imagination- there are several solutions to this question. They might not necessarily be correct as many argue there is no proof behind this, but how can we believe the proof that backs up science is correct either?

Indigenous Knowledge

Arranged Marriage  

This is when, this is when parents chose the bride for the groom and/or the broom for the bride, of their children. A vast majority of Indian marriages take place in that manner. In my opinion, it is wrong to force someone the spend the rest of their life with someone, who they are not too keen to marry especially is there is a high chance that they will end up living the rest of their life in regret and despair.
