IS GOD REAL?

 The Question put to me was, "Is God real?"

I can reply in volumes after volumes. Serves no purpose.

But let me attempt from an edge.

What was Pascal famous for?

What was Blaise Pascal known for?

Blaise Pascal laid the foundation for the modern theory of probabilities, formulated what came to be known as Pascal's principle of pressure, and propagated a religious doctrine that taught the experience of God through the heart rather than through reason.

Yes, matters of faith are beyond reason. It works through the heart.

Let me refer to THE THIRD WAVE by Alvin Toffler.

In the evolution of mankind, it refers to the divine. It was paganism. Pagan belief was that the elements were the Gods. They worshipped elements as Gods because man needed a proof. They could see the Sun, the wind, the fire etc. They put up idols. That's how idol worshop took roots.

When Christianity arrived, the pagans were not willing to accept a God who was invisible. 

The Catholics understood this and that's why we find objects of worship in Catholic Churches. The Oriental Churches followed similar pattern. Renaissance and Reformation gave rise to Protestantism where the accent of worship is on the invisible yet all powerful God.

While Charles Darwin states human beings evolved through a natural and sequential  process, my instinct convinces me that the fact God created man is the absolute truth because a creator alone can create. Look at the food we take at home. It doesn't just walk onto the table. Someone takes the effort.

If we delve into it, our life itself is a product of innumerable activities. A creative mind alone can create. God has created man with the capability to create - I am not referring to procreation - whatever he sets his mind upon. Ultimately it is the human beings who fail God.

Now on St.Thomas. Legend states that with St.Thomas, Christianity took roots in India. If we are going to say St.Thomas had not been to India we could be contradicting known history as well. If St.Thomas is fictional, Jesus Christ is fictional. Then God is fictional.

St.Thomas or not, Christianity has deep roots in India. Like it or not, we cannot deny it.

Let me repeat.

True, God exists. 

God is all powerful.
