said, ‘I think, therefore, I exist.’ Following this dictum,
I would say, ‘I exist, therefore, God also exists.’ Because
when there is a creation, a Creator is also bound to
exist. Modern science tells us that our universe is vast,
proportional and continuously expanding. It is an
intelligent universe, but a right approach would be to say
that the universe is the work of an Intelligent Creator.

In order to better understand the idea of creation, let
us also reflect on the development of human knowledge.
Human knowledge has two different phases—the pre-
Einstein period and the post-Einstein period. In the pre-
Einstein period, knowledge was confined to the macro
world, which was observable and measurable. It was
believed that matter was eternal and had not been created.
But, in the post-Einstein period, with the development
of quantum physics and discovery of the phenomenon of
the Big Bang, this thinking changed.

When the atom was split, the world of logic underwent a
colossal change. Splitting of the atom revealed the micro
world. It came to be known that subatomic particles,
which constitute matter at the most fundamental level,
cannot be observed even by the most powerful microscope.
The question is when we cannot see then, how do we
believe that they exist? They cannot be visually seen, but
every scientist believes in their existence, for the reason
that although we cannot see these things directly, we can
measure their effects. We believe in the existence of all
of these things, not by observation but by the effects
they produce. In other words, the existence of these
unobservable particles of the micro world can be proved
by way inferential argument – they cannot be seen, but
