No one can deny that everything we see in the universe is well structured and ultimately controlled by natural laws of physics and dynamics. Every living being - human, animal or plant, has a highly sophisticated structure and a well-tuned system to function and survive. Where is all that coming from and what is the origin of our universe?
Could there be a God or a designer, with he, or she, responsible for creating the universe and everything in it? Would such designer be involved in controlling our lives and are we, in the end, going to be accountable for every action we make, or are going to make?
There are many unanswered questions that have been repeatedly raised since man came into being and now we have a wealth of knowledge, along with amazingly advanced technology, to help us get some sensible answers. Try to imagine a mobile phone being presented to a Bedouin, some 1400 years ago, and telling him; "this is your God talking to you"! He or she would not doubt you for a second. However, once he discovered how the mobile phone worked, that same Bedouin would realise how foolish he was to believe that what he had heard was God's voice!
In other words, it would be much better to admit that we do not yet know the answers to questions such as - Where did the universe come from? - And what did exist before the universe? - rather than stick it all on the back of imaginary Gods, for whom we have exhausted all our imagination to justify their existence, despite the fact that we cannot see them, we can not personally talk to them, we do not know where they come from and we cannot give them any physical form or shape - but they are Eternal, Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent! In any case, we have thousands of words to manipulate and juggle to enable us to fabricate proof of Gods' existence!
The big problem we have faced for thousands of years is that there are thousands of deities (Gods and Goddesses) people believed in since they started thinking of God, and each of those deities' believers are totally convinced that their deity is the true one and all other deities are false!
If we assume there is a creator or God, then the obvious questions should be:
-
Would he be a single deity or multiple deities?
-
Where did he come from?
-
Where does he reside, which part or location of the universe does he occupy?
-
What is his physical shape, his characteristics, how does he function and what proof can we get for his credentials?
-
Why does he stay in hiding and why, as we are told, he can only communicate through his angels and always secretively?
All these questions can be asked and investigated to reach a conclusion if there is a God or not,
but first let us see if any evidence of God's existence can be validated.
Here are the most common evidence presented by philosophers and religious scholars
to justify the existence of a God
