One of the signs of human intelligence is the ability to ask this question. However, if you do not answer this question people will yet consider you as intelligent. Clever people ask this question probably to show off and those who attempt an answer get it more complicated than the question itself. Who is going to clear this doubt?
If there is one question that can thoughtlessly emerge from the lips of an innocent child and hesitatingly come out from an old man, if there is one question that is asked so frequently by both the most foolish and the wisest men on earth and yet has tenaciously remained unanswered for centuries then it must be this question, “Does God exist”?
Assuming that you have asked this question now, tell me honestly, what would you do once I establish to you that God exists? Will you give up everything and go after God or would you just continue with life as it is now. What difference would it make to your life if you know that God exists like everything else in this universe.
So is your question just an intellectual exercise or are you genuinely interested in knowing the whereabouts of God? What would you do if God appeared before you? Will you suspect God to be some actor from hollywood or bollywood? In what language should He speak to you? Is God a Man or a Woman?
While the question has survived many centuries, the answers too have not changed. The usual methods of answering this difficult question have always remained the same across the thousands of civilized years and all the religions. Answers are likely to range from a simple, “Cmon, everyone knows there is a God, so why are you asking this stupid question” to the more complex one like “you will have to experience Him by meditation, penance and devotion”.
You lose your patience and ask, “I have not seen God” and the answer is “Can you see air, though you know there is air around you all the time, you cannot see it and God is similar to air”. People vary the answer by replacing Air with Atoms, Electrons, Mobile signals, or electricity etc. Whenever this question of God is asked you always get more complicated questions coming to you than any good answer. Is there an answer? There is always an answer for every question. Is it not?
If you ask a spiritual Guru (India) sometimes you may get silence for an answer or sometimes a loud laughter. Perhaps you may even wonder if the Guru knew the answer or you may assume that the Guru knows but you are not that big to understand God.
When people ask me “Does God exist”? my answer has also been the same “Which God are you talking about”?
Anyone who asks this question must first look around the great things in this universe. I usually request them to have a close look at a butterfly and start imagining that it all happened without a plan or a creator. Just imagine the design on a butterfly happened out of mere chance. Or have a look at the intricate designs in a peacock feather. Or simply keep tracking the ugly caterpillar until it becomes the beautiful butterfly. I ask them “Who is the programmer”?
If you cannot accept God as the creator then try answering the question that follows the denial of God. Who else or what else made all that is in the universe. I ask them to tell me an convincing answer on how all that you see on earth has happened without a creator.
If you ask anyone whether God exists or not, depending on your faith you may be asked to refer a scripture that the person prefers over the others, for example the Holy Bible, The Holy Quran or The Bhagawad Gita. You are likely to get the recommendation to read one of these books of ancient origin and you will have to take the print as the final evidence of God. For the scientifically trained mind that is the most difficult thing to do. Seeing is notbelievingwhenever it comes to print. They know that whatever is printed need not always be true. They always ask for more tangible proof much beyond the printed manuals of God.
If you eagerly watch videos on youtube to get the answer on whether God exists or not you will be taken through wonderful and interesting videos but in the end you most probably may get the feeling that it was leaning on a particular religion. At the end of every video you get the feeling that it had other ulterior motives. The videos usually start with great music and scientific evidences, slowly giving way to a particular religion.
