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.
