The Age Old Riddle : Does God Exist Or Not???

Firstly, I would like to say that, this article is not intended to hurt anyone’s belief system. This is just a viewpoint that is highlighted.

We all know that for many centuries a question doesn’t have an answer with any valid proof from even the most brilliant mind in this world. And that question is “Does God exist or not?” Many people argue on this issue, but without any proof and so do I. But you’ll find my answer to be different from many others, at the end of this article.

For Science:

Now let us start with the people who do not believe in God. So, if they don’t believe in God, in what do they believe in then? Yes! They believe in Science. According to them Science is supreme and all things are explainable by it. Nothig is impossible in Science. So far, it was believed that only God has the power to create beings. But Science has proved it wrong through genetic cloning. Science created beings that are never known before. Through Science, people have defied the laws of nature. They have made rain to occur artificially and so many other things, that in ancient world was thought to be controlled only by God is now controlled by humans. People now worship Science.

Here is the next part of the article, that is most interesting.

For Religion:

Coming to the people who believe in God, they talk about soul, body, heaven and hell. Let me state a true incident which will question the supremacy of science. This incident is an extract of a newspaper article, and I couldn’t remember the exact details of locations and names specified in it.

I put forth this boy named Ankesh (this name should bring a smile or even anger to one of my friend’s face, but that’s a different issue ;-)) aged 7 yrs living in a village in India. Sorry, I couldn’t remember the name of the village. This boy after his 7th birthday started telling his parents, the details of his previous birth! He told his address of residence, his family member’s names, even his wife’s name and various other details of his so called ‘previous birth’. Ankesh’s parents with some eagerness to cheak this out, went to that address as told by their son. They were astonished to find real people and all other details according to what Ankesh had said. There was this widow whose husband’s name was the same as told by Ankesh and he had died only 7 years back, a day before Ankesh was born!!! Here is the example for soul, body and life after death.

Does Science have an explanation for this? No, but religion has, unfortunately without any proof.

Also there are many other issues that doesn’t have any explanation in Science. Still scientists don’t know what is the Dark Energy and the Dark Matter that pervades over the universe. Also, does anyone know what was there before the Big Bang? If there was this point where the Big Bang occurred, what was there beyond this point! Scientists are still clueless. So Science is also imperfect.

Atheists argue that Science will show God doesn’t exist, and religions argue that through God alone the knowledge of Science is created. This just goes on and on.

But my answer to this Age Old Riddle is,

For the atheists – God is the other name of Science i.e. Science is God.

For the Religion – Science is the other name of God i.e. God is Science.

Finally your mind alone determine what you believe in. So believe in yourself first.
