Is a God Real? Exploring One of Humanity’s Oldest Questions
The question that has crossed our minds at some point is, “Is A God Real?” Is God alive or dead? Does He exist?” These questions are deeply personal, deeply philosophical, and endlessly debatable
The question arises when we are either in pain or in wonderment about something. Is there really a God, and if so, why the pain and suffering? Is anybody listening? Some believe there is an invisible power that is taking care of everything.
Let’s consider this eternal question in a human, honest, and open-minded way not to reach a conclusion, but to explore the layers behind it.
Why do We Ask Questions Is A God Real?
We ask this question whenever something good or bad is happening in our life. Whenever we see the sun or the moon, we think who made them and who is making them move. Is there any power that is doing all this? And if yes, is it God? Is God the Truth?
Whenever a person is worried or happy, he asks this question. There are some people in this world who believe in God and know about his existence. They are called theists. And those who believe that there is nothing like God, all this is science, they are atheists.
And those who do not believe in God, they search for something that is supernatural and exists in this world. Sometimes we feel that there is something in this world that is above and is pulling our mind or saying something.
What do we mean by “God”?
The word God means something different to everyone in this world. Some people believe that God is the one written in the scriptures, who is omniscient and omnipotent, who created this universe and this world. Some believe that God is a power, which drives love, consciousness or intelligence, which is behind everything.
Some people also believe that there is nothing like God in this world, only humanity. They believe that there is nothing like God, only nature, the universe, humanity itself, which humans feel a spiritual connection to.
So, before we can answer “Is A God Real?” we need to know which God we are talking about and which person? Is he a theist or an atheist? Is he just an idea?
That is what makes this question so complicated and so fascinating.
Reasons for Belief: Why Many People Say “Yes”
Many people around us believe in or worship God in some form or the other. Be it Hinduism, Christianity or Islam, God is one, but He appears in different forms to His followers.
Here are some common reasons:
A. Personal experience
Many believers believe that they have seen God in their lives, whether they are sad or happy. There are some moments that they cannot explain or tell. It is very difficult to find peace in today’s fast-paced life. In today’s world where science is everything, it is a bit difficult to believe in miracles. But while people have given such things the form of psychology, for believers these are miracles done by their God.
B. Complexity of the Universe
Some people believe that the universe is complex. Its creation is very amazing. Whoever has created it, his supernatural power is great. It cannot be called accidental. The power which is running it or who has created it, is extremely rare.
C. Moral Awareness
How do we humans know what is right and what is wrong? Where do we get the ability to care for someone? Some people believe that all this is God’s gift. It leaves such an impression on our hearts that we develop a sense of justice, compassion and sympathy.
D. Need for Hope
Belief in God often provides solace in sorrow, hope in despair and strength in struggle. Even when a person feels alone or helpless, he remembers God. He hopes that God will listen to him and show him the way as to what to do next.
Reasons for Doubt: Why Many People Say “No”
Every coin has two sides, similarly this thing also has two sides, in which some people believe that “God really exists” and some believe that there is no such thing as God.
They are not rebelling against this, rather they have some arguments for this.
We are Telling these Reasons:
A. Problem of Evil
This argument is one of the most powerful arguments, that if God exists then why is there so much suffering in this world? Why there is poverty, high and low and natural calamities. And if he is kind then why is he doing all this.
B. Science and Natural Explanations
We have invented many things, which we used to consider only as blessings of God {e.g.: electricity, disease, mental illness}, today man has even reached the moon to solve these mysteries, as science has progressed.
C. Diversity of Religions
Today there are many religions all over the world and Every religion has its own God. Many wars have been fought and are still going on in the name of religion. So, this question arises in our mind that if God is real, then why is he depicted in such a misleading manner?
D. Lack of Evidence
In today’s world where evidence is required to prove everything, it is difficult to prove the existence of God in a visible, measurable way. You can only believe that there is God, there is no proof of it. For those who believe that there is a possibility, there is God and for those who do not believe, there is science
So…what is the point of asking?
If you are thinking that no one has been able to answer this question or no one can prove it in any way, then what is the need to ask?
So, this question needs to be asked, because questions give a new turn to the way we live.
- If you believe in God or believe that He has revealed to you and will see you in the future too, then you change the way you look at yourself and others as well.
- And if you do not believe in the existence of God, then you trust science, you trust human relationships.
- If you are still unsure, and are looking for an answer to this question, this is not just a theoretical question. Then you will remain unhappy in your sorrows.
- My personal opinion (and an invitation)
I do not claim to be the final judge on this. I have a deep faith in God, there have been moments when I wondered if there is such a thing as God, and if there is, why is he not looking after me. In such moments, I found peace in prayer and clarity in silence.
I think the search for the question “Is A God Real” still Matters.
What do you have to say about this? Are you also confused whether God really exists or is it an illusion? Has science been able to find out whether there is such a thing as God or not? This question is as old as we humans are. And this question will remain for centuries.
