Avijit,
You asked me to prove God's existence. Here is my short article:
OK you do not believe in God and other stuff but believe in science.
Let me start with human body. Did you ever think that how complex
human body is? Every tiny cell that is not visible with our naked
eyes contains whole genetic information of the person. Every
person's DNA is unique. Movement of your body, cells are differently
programmed to their particular functions. For example if you want to
move your figures, there are hundreds and thousands of cells that
does the job. And if you want to close your eyelids or move your
eyebrow, the cells are differently programmed. Only a small
alteration can cause it dysfunction.
Brain is very small part of human body but it stores tons of data
with color images in it. Brain is sharper than any sophisticated
computers. You can recall the things that took place many years ago
within split seconds. Few months back when my Dad had a stroke, he
was seeing double vision. Doctors could not understand what was
wrong because CT-Scan did not show any reason for it. Just a small
difference made his vision abnormal. And more than that with all our
modern technology our scientists are unable to produce (create from
scratch) the same kind of model or any living being. I am not
talking about cloning or genetically identical copy of existing
creation. I am talking about creating from scratch. Life is a
mystery to our scientist.
Now my question is how this complex structure came in existence? Who
designed it? Do you think without a designer human being came in
this planet? If there is no powerful designer then the question is
how this complex organization could assemble itself?
Not only that but take the example of earth sun and moon. Sun and
moon's distance from earth is so precise and so accurate that if sun
comes little nearer, it will consume the whole earth with extensive
heat. And if sun goes little far away then life is not possible on
earth it will freeze you to death. How is it possible that without a
designer sun, moon and earth are in perfect position?
How you will explain those migrating birds or animals who migrates to
thousands of miles from their homeland. They usually follow well-
established routes and goes to the same place every year. Again they
return to the same place from where they migrated. Scientists are
still puzzled to figure out what is the mystery behind their
migration. Even they lay eggs and come back without their young ones
but the young ones grew up and follows the same path of their parents
and return to their homeland. How they know the route? With all our
maps and modern equipments, many a times we lose the way.
Now the question is does God exists? Let me take the few things from
the Bible and show you whether God exists or not? If you read the
Bible, you will see a relationship between God and human being.
There are many people in the Bible who had direct contact with God.
They spoke to God, they saw God. And even many see today in this
modern age. Why? Because yes, there is a God who is the designer and
creator of universe.
Almost two years back I was talking to one Hindu man. We discussed
so many things about heaven, hell, life after death, forgiveness,
salvation etc. One day he told me like this, I am quoting here, "btw,
thanx to u, I have been thinking a lot lately about all these things
and as a result, the God came to visit me in my dreams yesterday...
well, he looked like jesus christ... and he asked me that what would
i prefer after death heaven or hell and i suddenly asked him whether
there is any possibility to have something not as black and white...
i meant like earth where one gets happiness and also sometimes
hell... i told him that too much happiness or too much sorrow is not
good... anyway, it was a very short dream..."
Not only people have seen God but had contact with God. Bible
prophecies has fulfilled in past and today also are fulfilling as it
is. In the book of Daniel, 9th chapter talks about the Messiah's
death and gives the time period. And the history shows that Messiah
(Jesus) was crucified in the same year. How it is possible that
Daniel could prophecy so accurately about the timings of crucifixion
of Jesus Christ. I am quoting those verses here.
Dan 9:25 "Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth
of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the
Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street
shall be built again, and the wall, Even in troublesome times.
Dan 9:26 "And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off,
but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come
Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with
a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined.
--------------Bible study notes for the above verse----------------
From the time of the decree to restore and build Jerusalem until the
coming of the Messiah would be 7 weeks (49 years) plus 62 weeks (434
years), yielding 69 weeks or 483 years, all but 7 of the 490 years
involved in the 70 weeks. Note the following table:
605 B.C. Nebuchadnezzar took the first captives from Jerusalem.
586 B.C. The destruction of Solomon's temple.
539 B.C. The taking of Babylon and Daniel's visitation by Gabriel.
538 B.C. The decree of Cyrus for the return of the Jews.
516 B.C. The completion of the second temple.
457 B.C. The decree of Artaxerxes to establish worship and law in
Judah (cf. Ezra 7:13-16).
444 B.C. The decree of Artaxerxes to restore and rebuild
Jerusalem (cf. Neh. 2:1-8).
4 B.C. The birth of our Lord.
33 A.D. The crucifixion of Christ.
Calculating from 444 B.C. to A.D. 33, one arrives at 478 years rather
than the 483 years required. However, this is due to our reckonings,
which are based upon the solar year of the Gregorian calendar of 365
days; whereas the Jewish calendar was based upon lunar years of 360
days. This is clearly seen in the account of the Flood, which lasted
five months or 150 days (Gen. 7:11, 24; 8:3, 4). When the two
calendars are adjusted, and one must do so for accuracy, a difference
of about eight years will be discovered. Allowing an additional year
for the transition from 1 B.C. to A.D. 1, the date of 33 A.D. is the
date at the end of the sixty-ninth week, when Christ entered
Jerusalem and was welcomed as King.
------------------------end of quote-------------------------
Many prophecies of the Bible are fulfilled and still it is coming to
pass. What is happening in Middle East today is written thousands of
years ago in Ezekiel 35-37th chapters, in Zechariah 12:2-3
etc, "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the
surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem.
And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very
heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely
be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered
against it."
Not only that Bible contains many advanced technology information
like Nuclear bomb in Zechariah 14:12, "And this shall be the plague
with which the LORD will strike all the people who fought against
Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet,
Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall
dissolve in their mouths."
And Modern Vehicle in Nahum 2:4 The chariots rage in the streets,
They jostle one another in the broad roads; They seem like torches,
They run like lightning.
Even the book of Daniel talks about EU(European Union), one world
Govt., Mark of the beast that is described in
Rev 13:16-17, "He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor,
free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their
foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the
mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
And most probably it would be a computer chip that is only applied in
hand or on forehead. These types of chips are already in the market.
These books of Bible were written many thousands of years ago when
they had no chance to even imagine all these things.
And more than that I am sure that what you believe(Atheism), you do
not have proof of it. You cannot prove that there is no God.
Because you do not have whole-knowledge so when you say that, "there
is no God", this sentence is a lie itself. Because if someone asks
me, "Do you have candle in your home." There are three type of
answers are possible from me, "Yes", "No", "I do not know" I will
say "Yes" if I am sure that there is candle in my home. And the same
thing with "No". But when I say, "I do not know" means I do not have
complete knowledge. So when you say that there is "No" God, it means
you should have complete knowledge of everything otherwise you can
not say that there is no God.
Second thing is, if you believe on big-bang, earth's age is millions
of years, man evolved from monkey or lower organisms.. what is the
proof of it? Big-bang can not produce LIFE. There is no evidence of
millions of years but it is all assumption and day dreaming of
scientist because Carbon Dating Method does not work more than 35,000
years. And there is no other method to know the millions of years
old things. And there is no evidence transitional forms of animal or
insects or birds or even human being. Why we do not see any
transitional forms if we are evolved from other species?
Third thing is, do atheism have answers for our problems? Two days
back Supreme Court decision on child pornography which overthrew the
Child Pornography Prevention Act of 1996 will do nothing better but
lead to more immorality. The high court ruled that the act violates
First Amendment rights to free speech. Ironically enough in one TV
news it was said that those computer-generated images are not
pornographic but a form of art. Humanists have no solution to our
problems but in the name of "Free Speech" they are adding more
violence and immorality in our society. It is not free speech or
freedom of mind but bondage of sin. If anybody wants to be free from
their lust and sin there is only one way - Jesus.
I can go on and on and tell you more but let me stop here!
Thanks and God bless
