    1. The main question that arises is the following: Were is the origin of the natural laws? Are they constant or changing?

       

      According to Dr. Z. Osmanov Galileo Galilei was the first scholar insisting on the need for the natural laws to be explained by mathematics. In physics we notice the existence of the changing and fundamental laws. On the other hand, the scientific methodology is tied with empirical experience. When we consider the laws as fundamentals, they have already been tested being the subjects of experimental observations.

       

      Obviously, we can’t see the very moment of the birth of universe which is some 14 milliards years old. The photo of the Big Bang doesn’t exist, but we have a picture of the universe dated 100 000 years after of his birth. This is a very close moment of the beginning of universe.

       

      Francis Bacon has introduced the methodology explaining how hypothesis can become the theory. To have an explainable hypothesis it is not enough for considering it as a theory. It must also be experimentally verified. Thus, the theory of the relativity shows that the universe had a beginning.  It predicts the existence of the relict radiation which has to keep the traces of the past stages of the universe. The relict radiation comes form each side of the universe and this, with the same intensity. It was predicted first, and, then discovered, second. This gave the possibility to see the picture of the ancient universe, the world of the ancient time. From this observation we became aware that the fundamental laws of nature were always the same. This shows for its part, that the theory of relativity and the theory of the universe having a beginning are the truthful theories.

       

      Newton was arguing, indeed, that the universe is created by God, and, accordingly, the laws, and especially, the law of the attraction must have be the same for all universe. It turns out that, indeed, this law is a fundamental law.

       

      About the relation between science and religion Dr. Osmanov says that science doesn’t deal with theology. This protects both of these disciplines and gives them the possibility to deal with their own domains. Brian Edward Cox argues: the mainstream in atheism seems to exclude the any idea about God, but this is contemporary and illogic claim. The faith is an individual choice. This choice means that the scientist has a choice too, and he isn’t forced to believe or to do not. On its side Werner Karl Heisenberg says:  religion and science are both studying the different domains of our life but they are complementary disciplines indispensable each for the other.
