Faith and rocket science hand in hand

I always look at science by excluding all elements of faith. I admire those who are blessed with faith. But I have already felt that what is required is scientific approach and not blind faith.

I overlook that there could be other valid view points and that science and faith can also co-exist in harmony.

A news item in today's The Hindu (GSLV-D5 replica placed at Lord's feet)is what prompted me to write this. It reads:

The replica of Geo-synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle GSLV-D5, scheduled to be launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota rocket port on Monday, was placed at the feet of the presiding deity of Lord Venkateswara.

Chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) K. Radhakrishnan carried the facsimile of the rocket along with him to the temple during the Suprabhata seva performed in the early hours of Sunday. Mr. Radhakrishnan, who spent the night atop the temple town, proceeded towards Sriharikota in Nellore soon after the darshan of the deity. http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-newdelhi/gslvd5-replica-placed-at-lords-feet/article5036693.ece
