Evidence of God
intelligent placing. It is unusual. We, too, are unusual.
To make it possible for life to exist, special physical laws
are required. So I would say that this is a very special
universe. It has been intelligently planned. How can
anyone confute that? So, there is indeed a spiritual world;
a Creator. Most people do not realize that science, like
religion, requires faith. We make so many assumptions.
We believe that the laws of physics are reliable — that’s
a kind of faith…I do believe there is a spiritual presence
in the universe. It is difficult to define God, but I can
feel an Omnipresence everywhere. People ask, if God
created the universe, who created God? So there’s
always a problem with a beginning.”
Most people would admit that our universe is an
intelligently designed universe. Thus, there must
be a beginning of such a universe. The existence of
a meaningful universe is an undeniable fact. Some
people are sceptical about its beginning – how did it
begin and who is the beginner? However, when looked
at deeply this question seems illogical. It is an obvious
fact that where there is a beginning, there is a beginner.
The phenomenon of beginning itself proves the
existence of a beginner. If we are compelled to believe
in the beginning, then we must also, out of the same
compulsion, believe in the beginner.
All our knowledge points to the fact that there is a
world that exists outside of us. When we accept the
existence of the world, it becomes necessary to accept
that this world has had a beginning. Since a beginning
without a beginner is impossible, we are compelled to
believe in the existence of the beginner.
