Paradoxes/Science Conflict

If on a rainy day,
You feel the heat around you vanish,
And chill spread around;
Would you call raining an endothermic process?

If a ball thrown by a bowler gains momentum,
Would a wind-blown particle of dust,
Gain momentum too?

When you choose to eat,
Only your favorite dish from the menu,
oes it amount to "selection of the fittest"?

Science is everywhere around us; omnipresent!
Just as GOD is!

If mathematically you equate the two
Would science be GOD, and GOD be science?

If the entire world were conquered
Into a cell or a chip,
Does science really contract things?
If science creates wonders, one can never imagine,
Does it expand beyond the universe?

If we were to settle for what's commonly believed;
Science is the first ray of light that marks dawn,
Ahead of which lies an era unpredictable.
