Why did scientists indulge in theology in their later years? What did they find?

Answer 1

There is no definite answer to this question, because whether or not scientists indulge in theology in their later years and what they discover depends on the specific scientists and their experiences in their later years. But some scientists did turn to theology in their later years, perhaps because their research involved some unexplainable phenomena or because they had a deep understanding of the meaning of human existence.

For example, in his later years, Einstein began to study mythology and believed that God existed. He published some theological articles and participated in some theological conferences. He also established an organization called the Relativistic Research Committee to study the universe and God.

Another famous scientist, Newton, also turned to theology in his later years. He believed that God was the origin of the universe and all existence and established his own theological theory. His theological theories, including the "natural law" and the "three laws", had a profound impact on later theological research.

There were also some scientists who did not turn to mythology in their later years, perhaps because their research did not involve some unexplainable phenomena or because they did not have a deep understanding of the meaning of human existence. But these scientists may also study theology or other fields in their later years because they may think that these fields can help us better understand the meaning of human existence.
