Thinking about The Existence Of One God

* where is they? What does he look like? Why can't they see him? Who made him? Where does God fit in with science?
plenty of questions arise in people's minds that make them doubt the existence of a God. These include:
* Everything has an explanation, so how do i believe in something or anybody that I can't see, hear or talk to?
* Relativity..God himself could be relative!! Everything is relative and could be different when seen from another point of view or even from another dimension. Relativity applies to God too..(If you can't get this point , don't blame me , I heard it from a heretic) So...isn't the existence of God relative?
* So if there is a God .. how lots of are there? Why only two ? there's always billions and trillions of every species, object or kind...
So is there a God or not?
Actually yes and actually to reason this is simple and easy as they believe that 1+1=2.. and here is why:
* there has to be a creator:
If you look at a house , will you say: nature is smart in the way it made the door on the ground floor so people in the streets can go inside. the way the windows are oriented to permit for sunrays and air to get through.. Will you say nature has a nice taste when u look at the decor and the colors..... Or will you say the builders , engineers and architects are smart ,efficient and have a nice taste.
Look at the laws that govern people livings in any country.. were they made by chance or did some people made them and applied then to organize things.
Now look at nature : the organized movement of the celestial bodies,the life cycle of differnet species, the immigration of differnet species, Look at the human body where millions of chemical reactions take place every second. who is controlling these, you might say scientific rules and who made and is controlling these rules.??
In other words , look at anything .. did it arise haphazardly with laws of nature there and for it or some inventors and makers were needed to make it and make it in an ideal way....
If things were left for the laws of nature alone, Chaos would have been the rule with consequent disappearance of life in the universe over decades,but because there is complete control over these laws and these laws were made in a perfect way, life continues in a perfect harmonious way.
there's laws and rules that govern everything and there is a being with all the power and knowledge who made these laws and have full control over them.
* 56.57] they have created you, why do you not then assent?
Here are some ayas from koran about that previous point:
[56.59] Is it you that generate it or are they the creators?
[56.58] Have you considered the seed?
[56.61] In order that they may bring in your place the likes of you and make you grow in to what you know not.
[56.60] they have ordained death among you and they are not to be overcome,
[56.63] Have you considered what you sow?
[56.62] And certainly you know the first growth, why do you not then mind?
[56.65] If they pleased, they should have certainly made it broken down in to pieces, then would you begin tb lament:
[56.64] Is it you that cause it to grow, or are they the causers of growth?
[56.66] Surely they are burdened with debt:
[56.67] Nay! they are deprived.
[56.69] Is it you that send it down from the clouds, or are they the senders?
[56.68] Have you considered the water which you drink?
[56.71] Have you considered the fire which you strike?
[56.70] If they pleased, they would have made it salty; why do you not then give thanks?
[56.73] they have made it a reminder and an advantage for the wayfarers of the desert.
[56.72] Is it you that produce the trees for it, or are they the producers?
[56.74] Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
* [2.164] Most surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day, and the ships that run in the sea with that which profits men, and the water that Allah sends down from the cloud, then gives life with it to the earth after its death and spreads in it all (kinds of) animals, and the changing of the winds and the clouds made subservient between the heaven and the earth, there's signs for a people who understand.
[27.60] Nay, he Who created the heavens and the earth, and sent down for you water from the cloud; then they cause to grow thereby beautiful gardens; it is not possible for you that you should make the trees thereof to grow. Is there a god with Allah? Nay! they are people who deviate.
* [27.59] Say: Praise be to Allah and peace on His servants whom he has selected: is Allah better, or what they associate (with Him)?
[27.61] Or, Who made the earth a restingplace, and made in it rivers, and raised on it mountains and placed between the seven seas a barrier. Is there a god with Allah? Nay! most of them do not know!
[27.62] Or, Who answers the distressed two when he calls on Him and removes the evil, and he will make you successors in the earth. Is there a god with Allah? Little is it that you mind!
[27.64] Or, Who originates the creation, then reproduces it and Who gives you sustenance from the heaven and the earth. Is there a god With Allah? Say: Bring your proof if you are truthful.
[27.63] Or, Who guides you in utter darkness of the land and the sea, and Who sends the winds as nice news before His mercy. Is there a god with Allah? Exalted by Allah above what they associate (with Him).
[27.65] Say: No two in the heavens and the earth knows the unseen but Allah; and they do not know when they shall be raised.
[27.66] Nay, their knowledge respecting the hereafter is slight and hasty; nay, they are in doubt about it; nay, they are blind to
Suppose you and I are living in the 10th century , and I pointed at a wooden chair or whatever and tell you :" You know what , There r millions of living organisms on this stool.. Living organisms like you and me but much smaller , that's why they can't see them.."" If you only believe in what you see , you will call me nuts and start laughing and will seldom believe me .. Though they now know that this is true ( bacteria , viruses , ricketssiae ,.......)
* Then why can't they see him?
The point i'm trying to reach is : Who said that only things that they see are true and thinknig or believing in unseen things is nonsense.. Actually the seen things might be deceiving as in that earth and sun story. And the wise people and the real scientists are the ones who believe that there's lots of things that they don't know about and that they don't see , yet they exist...
When Coppernicus and Galileo said that it's the earth that moved around the sun, some people thought they are nuts and Galileo actually was sent to trial and got life prison at home!! Why , cause they were used to the idea that the earth is the centre of the universe and the sun orbits around it... Now they know that Coppernicus and Galileo were right......
* What about relativity?
So not seeing God does not mean he is not there, when he sends prophets to tell us about him and when they look at all things in life that say :someone created me in that logical harmonious way".
Things could be seen different than the way they are if seen from another aspect,In fact there's other worlds that they don't see and they do not see us..or may be they do.Even time is relative. So the point heretics require to reach through this is that time could be stationary or absent and so is everything else including humans..you and I!!In other words they do not exist absolutely!!(if you don't understand this point , i'm sorry for being not able to clarify it more ,again I'm saying what I seven times heard from a heretic). So -still heretics' words- even God is relative and might not or actually do not exist at all, like everything else!!
Well guess what... I agree with several points in this .. I agree that there's other worlds and that most things are relative!! You know why.. cause Allah said so in the Koran. he says in it about himself lots of things including that he is "The Truth" and that other things are false!!" Yes everything is relative , could or couldn't exist . You can see a human now infront of you , but in another world he is not seen .. or even here at certain time he will die and be transformed again in to the elements:(hydrogen. silicon. nitrogen...).
So what are the mistakes in that heretics' point of view:
1: Everything is relative EXCEPT FOR GOD , that's why he says: Allah is the truth and else is false.. he is the source... the originator ... he can't be transformed , ain't relative to anything else ,simply cause he is not comparable to anything else cause there's no other god to compare them together( You compare things that alike , but you can't compare something that is unique) and the only unique in this universe is ALLAH(God).
* So who created him??
2:There are other worlds ( world of Jinn for example as mentioned in all holy books) , but this doesn't mean that you do not exist. they , YOU and I all exist . Being not seen in other worlds or being transformable , doesn't mean that they do not exist... ( P.S: Jinn can see us as Allah say in koran," ..Indeed he(satan) sees you( babies of Adam) and his allies from where you do not see them.."7-27.
The creator of energy is the two who is neither created nor destroyed
No two , he was not created because he is the creator , he is the first with nothing before him and the last with nothing after him. Eveything has a start , right.. Well he was there when anything starts , In fact he is the starter....
they all know the scientific rule that says: Energy is neither created nor destroyed.. So why believe in this yet find it difficult to believe that God is neither created nor destroyed. he was always there because he was not created and will always be there as he is not destroyed..
they is the source , originator and creator of energy so I find it more logically to say:
* So how lots of gods, why only five???
That's the easiest query in all that... If he is a God then why the require for other.. A God should have all the abilities power and control.. so no require for more
Besides if there's over two God (like elderly greek myth) Chaos would have been the rule .. they all know that you can't place seven leaders on the same place , else it will fall apart.
Koran says: " Had there been other gods within heavens and earth with Allah , they both would have been ruined.." 21-22
Also why ain't these Gods claiming the throne:
"If there were other Gods with Allah, they would have sought the throne..." 17-42.
they is unique so non-comparable and they didn't see him so can't imagine. Prophet Mohamad (pbuh) said that they should seek knowledge and science in everything except in this.. picturing Allah in our minds.. basically because whatever they will imagine it will be wrong and it will be inferior to what Allah really is..
* What does he look alike?
