There are certain mechanisms by which we and everything around us was created and operates. Whether we know them or not, they apply to us just with the same certainty and exactness. A child may not know that he will get burned and have a blister after touching something hot; he, nevertheless, will.

The [[physics|physical]] [[law]] applies to you whether you are aware of it or not. You cannot blame [[God]] or anyone for your lack of [[knowledge]]. While some physical laws are obvious and undeniable, (we can easily see and feel them) there are other things not so palpable or visible to the physical eye, such as magnetic fields and energies, lunar tides, and radio waves. Some of them have affected us long before [[Physical Sciences|physical science]] discovered the [[concepts|concept]] of them or was able to measure them; we are now aware of these occurrences, they are considered acceptable and comprehensible to a human mind; awareness gives us [[power]] or at least the understanding of how to deal with them. But if you told someone a few centuries ago that his heart related problem was associated with the [[Gravity|magnetic waves]], you would sure as hell be accused of heretics. But that was the short minded outlook at things based on the knowledge of those times.

What science is aware of today cannot be compared to what it was aware of as few as ten or even five years ago. What it will learn of in five years is also for us to guess. It is already scratching the surface of linking human perception of the world and his emotions to DNA [[structure]] and occurrence of certain physical diseases.

Keeping that in mind, would it be safe to assume that there are things out there that have not been discovered or measured by science, but exist and apply to us nonetheless. Would knowing them help you in taking some precautions or at least have a luxury of conscious [[volition|choice]]?

Say, you perform a scientific lab experiment, mixing certain [[Chemistry|chemical]] substances together. Chemical reactions are in no way affected by who is creating them; you are bound to receive the corresponding result. Certain elements combined with each other under specified conditions give consequent results. The only choice you have is to know or not to know about the chemical elements you are using and the chemical reaction that they produce. The chemical reaction will happen, whether you agree with it or not. You can learn through your broken nose or choose to learn about what you are doing in advance. You cannot blame anything but your ignorance for getting an undesirable result or getting hurt in the process. You simply chose not to learn about the science before practicing it and the discoveries made previously by the scientists in that area, disregarding its laws and not taking preparatory and precautionary steps. Same is in life: we live it, not having a clue about how it works. We practice it without knowing [learning of] the impact of our actions, which may not show as soon as the chemical reaction. We live this life without knowing about the science of life; it, nonetheless, does not change the way it works and applies to us. Moreover, we don’t even know that we have a choice. We look for the ways to make sense out of things, but never seem to be able to quench that thirst, for nothing seems to consistently give sensible answers to our questions. Life is like a chemical reaction; there are certain elements which, when compounded, are bound to give certain results. If you make a certain step in a certain direction with a certain [[frame of reference|viewpoint]] and attitude, it will give an outcome affected by all those factors. It may not be the outcome that you desire, and you may get hurt in the process, but just like in the case with chemical experiment, it is not God, general injustice, or bad people around you that are accountable. The one and only cause is your ignorance.
