Physics is an organized effort for understanding the natural world. But an important question is: Why are human beings seeking to find the structure of the natural world? Science, by itself, cannot answer this question. Rather, it needs a more comprehensive framework. There have been three views concerning this subject, as follows: (a) Old view: The old view concentrates on the study of natural world because of its worthiness. (b) Abrahamic religions view: In the view of the Abrahamic religions, the study of the natural world is conducted for the purpose of understanding the structure of God’s creation as well as using this knowledge to take care of human needs. As al-Biruni, a distinguished scholar of the Islamic civilization, long time ago acknowledged 'Sight connects what we see to the signs of Divine wisdom in creation and deduces the existence of the Creator” (cited in Nasr, 1978). The aim of the studies conducted under the Abrahamic religions view is, therefore, to understand the glory of God’s creation.
