I'm not Atheist, i'm Hindu by birth. I live in Chandigarh, India..
I brought up in multicultural society, in my sector their are 2 Temples, 1 Gurudwara, 2 churches and 1 mosque. wen i was child, i really used to enjoyed all da festivals for simple reasons Holiday and Good food...And its my wish if there could be one universal divine being...I would like to serve that almighty god...As i grow, i saw a lot of killing around the world (in media) in the name of god..from that moment i stopped from myself being tagged to any religious community...
Well, i assumed that you are an atheist, even though your nick suggests that you are hindu, because you want someone to prove you the existence of God and you brought up evolution.
I clearly said that Religion is nothing more then a "Way of Living". Its an rally point for the peoples of common race or society. which motivates them to achieve big, calm them when they are down. But in present scenario whats going on is "one's faith is conflicting with others faith" leading into chaos.
I can take this debate in either way (scientific or philosophical) but that will be bias cause then I'll be speaking only in the behalf of half of the peoples exist in earth. Christians think they are supreme, Islam thinks there is only "Allah" and Hindu's believe in Brahma, Vishnu & Mahesh. So you tell me who's God Goddesses are supreme?
Believing in God has always been the norm of human being and majority has always worshiped a Higher Being, in a good way or a bad way, whatever seemed reasonable to them. Even though, this is not logical approach but it does tell us something about the reality and our ancestors. Atheists always bring this argument: oh look different people from different faiths are fighting each other in the name of God. However, they do get carried away with this and hasten to jump to conclusion without realizing that there has always been conflicts, fights etc between good and evil. Otherwise, we would never have learned that good always prevail. Now, these conflicts could be good or evil depending on people's perspectives. The chaotic world may seem evil to you but to me the greatest evil is not believing in one God. This is why God has gifted us with abilities to find out the truth. However, our desires will always lead us to more attractive looking things and away from the truth and that's how we have ended up in different faiths and believing in different Gods. again, this may not seem a very logical appraoch and the matter of different Gods come afterwards. We need to approach this matter more logically and in the correct sequence
- Is there a God? Can we prove His existence logically and rationally?
- If He does exist then what is our purpose and what does He want us to do?
- What is His true message?
Note, true message is the last step
No one can speak on behalf of everyone, or anyone if that matters. We will only discuss what we believe in. You don't believe in God but i do and that's what we'll be discussing.
So, we can start as soon as you answer my earlier asked questions.
I can google out about the space and whatever question your asking me to answer but i'll stick with the issue.
We are human being (first and last) and we are learning and we'll continue to learn.
Peace...
there is no shame in learning. I'm using the physics concept of space, which is defined something as medium requires for existence of an object or a process. I am asking you: Do you believe that evolution can explain everything? If it doesn't, which in fact is true, then it doesn't rule out the existence of God.
