CREATOR
Do we have enough knowledge (collective knowledge of human species) to
analyze God? Have we reached the apex of knowledge/learning and we do not have
anything to learn? If any one claims that human species have learnt
(collectively) everything that is humanly possible to learn, then I would
declare him the most ignorant man in this universe.
Humans are bounded by knowledge of four-dimensional space-time. Let us take
a hypothetical example of a creature bounded by two-dimensional knowledge.
Assume, these creatures are crawling on the surface of the earth. With
two-dimensional knowledge, they only know the length and the width (two
dimensions). They will never know what is height. Now, if some one take a gun
and shoot some holes on the earth, what will happen? Will these creatures know
how the holes were made? First of all, being a two-dimensional creature, they
will never know that there is space above them. Therefore, they will be
incapable of imagining that some one could shoot from above and make hole.
Therefore, after lot of research and analysis of these holes by their
scientists of two dimensional knowledge, they will conclude that the holes can
not be made by anybody (because a hole has to be created from above which is
impossible to conceive with two dimensional knowledge) and therefore, the
holes were existing from infinite past, etc, etc.... kind of our scientists'
conclusion about the universe.
What I am trying to say is, if there is any higher dimensional knowledge
which is yet to be tapped by human species (may be after another thousands of
years of evolution), then at this time there is no way we shall know what is
God! It is wise to be humble for our limited four-dimensional space-time
knowledge.
CREATION
Whenever I go to my doctor's clinic, while he keeps me waiting in a room, I
look at the pictures on the wall. They are all pictures of heart, kidney,
liver, and the artery connecting them. I gaze and gaze at these amazing
pictures. I am Engineer, therefore, when I look at these biological components
of the body, I become amazed at such a high degree of precise application of
fluid mechanics and thermodynamic principles. I am marveled at the design
aspect of it. I ponder, is this extraordinary design a product of random
evolution?
I do not have any answer to this question. But I have a statistical
analysis. Let us take an example of tossing a coin. If we toss the coin at
"random", we know statistical probability of getting a head is 50%
and getting a tail is 50%. In other words, if we toss 2 million times, we
shall get head 1 million times and tail 1 million times. What is random?
Random means, the event (tossing) is independent of any kind of
"bias" or "control". Now if I add a process control in
tossing the coin which will result in bringing a head every time - then, the
head will appear 2 million times out of 2 million events (tossing). Therefore,
we can conclude, if we see any kind of pattern (not random) in a process, that
will imply the existence of a "control" or "bias"
mechanism.
Now, when I think of the design of the heart, kidney, lungs, livers,
artery, and the function of these components, even the feedback and alarm
system for the malfunction of any part of the body, it is identical in each
and every person. We can look at billions or trillions of samples; we shall
not find any variation in the design principle. I am convinced, the creation
of humans can not be a random phenomenon, and it must be a designed product.
Now, if you look at the universe, motion of the planets, stars, solar
system and the galaxies, again we can see a pattern in their movement to
maintain a dynamic equilibrium. I do not see any sign of randomness. I see a
"Controlled" process or "bias" which is an indicator of
controller behind the scene.
HOLLYBOOK
I do not know if the religious scriptures is divine, but I do believe on a
creator of human species and the universe.
