He who is God?

Existence and non-existence of God is an unending debate. Let’s not start it once again. I just kept thinking how man thought of some God component for the first time. It must be the rain, air, fire, land – those natural phenomenon upon which man did not have any control. The phenomenon that help him live his life without much trouble. But man did not stop with that. Take any civilization Greek, Roman, Indian - Gods have families. This is a clear example of man’s imagination.

I have read the rise of Vatican resulted in the start of dark medieval period. Before the rise of Vatican - the civilizations relied much on human knowledge than the super powers. Anyone can read about Hypatia to understand this. This applies to all civilizations – they migrated to superstitious beliefs than believing their self-instincts. I feel this is the time in our history we started celebrating God than worshipping. That is why archaeologists unearth more “worship artefacts” than “study artefacts”.

Modern science - We have our evolution theory that details how man came into existence. It details about how other living things existed and went extinct before and after the birth of human species. OK, what about the universe? Stephen Hawkins says no one knows how the universe was created. Our great scientists were able to figure out the gases that were present few minutes after the big bang (science belief of universe creation) but not what caused that big bang explosion. Hawkins conclude that till someone finds that moment let’s assume that universe was created out of God’s particle (!). He passed the buck to God himself.

If God had really created the universe, man may not find him at all unless God himself decide to show up. Man did not sightsee the whole universe yet, we have just covered a small area so far. God could be anywhere we dint see through the eyes of our explorers in the space. On that day when we have swept the entire universe, God is all powerful to extend this universe.

Most of the dark beliefs were out of our life these days. God is not as powerful as he was when he was first conceived.  Currency is powerful, Guns are powerful, Internet is powerful etc. Religions will survive as long as they are fed with money, else many will disappear. One day in future - caste and religion will be history, temples will be museums and that day man will be free thinking man and that is how he came into existence at first.
