Many people believe that God exist and through him. They will have the “eternal salvation” (THB KJV Mat 25.46). This is also the chief reason of different religions in humankind. They come up with different interpretations, ideas, and analysis of the scriptures that they believe it is the hand-written of God. On the other hand, some also deem the inexistence of Holy one. Is it because they suffer long enough from poverty, brutality, and failures in life; or, they already reach the optimum level of human intelligence. If there is a God, then why is there Evil? Why we need to be good if everyone is perfect, it’s simply because life is complicated in nature. Even how hard we tried to seek the answers and connect them to real events still we consider it incomplete. Therefore, we keep on living whatever it takes. Continue exploring the essence of life until eventually one will find the real definition of it.
Science cannot explain the existence of any deity even we look for another dimension. It cannot prove the beginning and the entire structure of devotion. It does not hold the evidence of any existence. Therefore, we cannot illustrate the essence of having God. Then, we find other perspective that at least we can exemplify the true meaning of his existence.
In philosophical view, we can measure the relevance of having him. We may able to realize the real meaning of conviction and the word religion. We can also weigh out which one is in the right track and false teaching.
The question is, can we justify that there is a God and reason out on why is there Evil. We simply don’t know; it depends on where we stand and how we understand the true meaning of God.
Great Philosophers, scholars, and writers keep on debating on the existence of a deity. They travel the world to look for evidence and identify each scripture or artifacts that might be useful for proving the existence of God or Evil. They even mention prophets and messengers of the divine being that shares different testimonials. Who will then inspires individual to continue their faith and good deeds that they had started. This is also the reason why most believers are hoping for miracles that someday they will experience it. Maybe it is true in the sense of philosophy because it tackles rational reasoning, battle of knowledge through proper arguments, and proves the inexistence of someone. Spiritual practitioners and other followers of God used this idea to defend on what they believe. They created a whole new imaginary world, where there is a God and the existence of Evil. Whoever against him will be condemned and thrown in the pit of fire (THB KJV Rev 20.10).
So if, that is the case, God is demanding, inhuman, and ruthless. Why is there need to believe in someone if eventually he will punish one in the end. Why there are believers who have the highest position nowadays become so rich and powerful. Is it God’s will? We do not know the answer of those questions because we do not have evidence that he exists. On the contrary, it gives us inspiration, guidelines to become righteous individual, and most of all it gives us distinction from other higher-class primates. It also helps many people that suffer from pain and agony. Instead of lurking on one dark, side, they have the option, to choose the brighter one.
It takes a lot of effort to prove the existence of God and the presence of Evil if one does not have the real basis for verification. For now, the closest book that we can base on is the Bible. On the first chapter of Genesis, God created the world in chronological order within six days. Then, on the seventh day, he took a long day rest (THB KJV Gen 1-2). If we compare the bible words based on the facts, six days are not enough to create everything. Actually, it took billion years to form a single, living cell in the planet. It took gazillion of decades to complete the entire ecosystem .
Anyhow, the advocates are expanding their spiritual views. They recruit and disseminate volunteers to spread the good news of God. They are trying to digest deeper the words in the Bible. Hence, they come up with strong reasoning power. Some of them have mentioned that the words of God are symbolic and contain not just literal meaning, but also the meaningful one . Let’s say they are partly correct but how can we prove that? Well, it’s undeniably true in philosophical aspect, but how about in Science. Again, we don’t have any idea because from the very beginning it is all hearsays and not proven facts. The only thing we are sure that everyone has the right to choose what to believe and not to believe. However, though, it takes great responsibility for us to take charge of what we become eventually.
In general, the so-called God unites most of all the people around the world. They hope to build one vision, mission, and purpose in life. For this reason, they become more powerful and proud. Thus, thousands of religions are encouraged branching out nowadays. Well, the money is not a problem for them; they have plenty of donations from their advocates. They can send any missionaries to different places whenever they have to. They can send people to stand for them, protect, and someone to reason out, as well. What we’re trying to emphasize here, is they grab the opportunity to become powerful and less in proving the existence of him. “They taught faith without understanding” (Dawkins 2007).
Mind Virus is the accurate term for the populating religion today. It becomes “a refuge or tabernacle” to some individual. Just as nature of the virus, it imitates the protein structure of any DNA or RNA. So the same as the religion, it has a doctrine and a concept of believing the existence of God or Evil. It becomes viral act because many people believe it and perhaps think as one. Then later on, they become harmful because they are completely consumed by their faith. Therefore, there is a strong tendency to commit crimes and hideous acts (Dawkins 2007).
Whenever God is around, the Evil exists. Maybe, is it because the holy one has its important moral values to share with, or he is telling us the true path of righteousness? Let’s take the Taliban bombing incident. It is a dreadful act for God-fearing believer. Who do you think have the guts to do it, the Evil? By the way, the people involve were advocates of God. Is this the path that God wanted us to follow and embrace, we doubted.
As a final note, Science cannot explain the existence of any Gods but contradicts instead. There are several facts does not coincide on what they are teaching. The perfect world they have promise in the Bible is far from true in the real world. Giving an authorization to evil one to conquer the world is a hoax. If one is divine enough, then there is no need to allow the evil to deceit someone so one can prove its loyalty. Chaos and misunderstanding will only the treacherous end if one’s faith is being measured.
Second point to emphasize, the existence of religion is one of the main reasons of all evil doings. It confuses us to choose right from wrong. They do not have the solid grounds for teaching the right values. Some would come up with wrong interpretation of the doctrines and use these for weaponry to rival religions. Defending its religion does not make one a better person. There is no such thing in the world will be saved because people are bound to die and no faith can change the nature of decomposition.
We did not say that we don’t have faith to anyone, or anything, what we would like to impart to everyone is the moral ethics. Whatever we believe we are truly entitled to, just make sure we take responsible for every action we convey. Whether, God exists or not, we have values that we need to preserve accordingly. Ruthless and cruelty are terrible acts. Therefore, the faith of every one must not base on any creeds but common sense. So in time, one can bear up the roughness in life and develop endurance, to withstand pain.
