Does God Exist in the Universe

Most Sought out question often asked to most famous astrophysicists is often about the existence of god i.e. Whether God Really Exists or not????

Before answering the initial question I would like to add my views ,both on the theories supporting existence of god or denying the fact.But,firstly I would like to answer the more basic question which is :

ARE WE ALONE IN THIS UNIVERSE?????????

Consider the following stats which only gave a brief overview of the size of universe.

 On looking through 

 Hubble telescope at the tiny spot of sky,roughly the  size of diameter of a 

human hair ,scientists  counted no fewer than 

1,500 galaxies. 

Exploring the detectable limits of time 

and space,they concluded that the faintest 

galaxies they had recorded were more than 

10 billion light years away. Some of the 

brighter ones were quite close,only 2.5  

billion light years distant.

Even more astonishing,scientists concluded that the universe contains far more 

galaxies than we can imagine—at least 100 

billion and quite possibly far more.It is only an 

estimated number of galaxies in the 

universe. The average Milky Way–sized galaxy is thought to contain 200 billion stars and untold numbers of planets. Such astounding numbers quickly  outgrow our limited comprehension and imagination.So, the probability theory concludes that "LIFE IN ITS DIFFERENT FORMS MAY BE QUITE COMMON IN THE UNIVERSE" though no astounding proof exists even till this date to support this fact.

Now we can see that we may not be unique as it seems,but unless no solid proof exists we can continue to treat only Earth as unique habitable planet supporting life in its purest forms.

EVIDENCES SUPPORTING THE EXISTENCE OF GOD:

god is everywhere

1. Why do we live in a universe of such precision and order?The evidence of evolution reveals a universe without design.But the overwhelming presence of intricate design in the universe is a powerful indicator of an intelligent Designer just as in the case of Art.
   “Whence arises all the order and beauty we see in the world?” asked Sir Isaac Newton.
2. Cause -effect relationship: Actions have consequences.Even we need to plan for a small task & here we are talking about the whole universe.So,how can we say that life on earth is simply a product of chance, with no purpose or planning,no control or no consequences.That's why Newton even questioned it as an intricately crafted universe points to an Intelligent Designer.

   

   nature depicts flawless design everywhere

3. Why the universe is not chaotic ,random and unpredictable as it is expected to be ,if we are nothing more than the  result of blind chances & unexpected so called lucky accidents(big bang)?
4. Anthropic principa clearly suggests that all the physical laws, actual values nature has chosen for various particle masses(periodic table),force strengths etc. are finely tuned for the existence of life in general.Even,if it was a result of a list of 'lucky accidents' and 'coincidences' almost all the values would have made universe inhabitable.

5. Why life itself is so much complicated yet works so flawlessly and simply?There are various living organisms with different capabilities and such a balanced Food cycle exists(in terms of dependence of creatures on one another).Think for a moment that if carnivores would n't existed then the population of herbivores would suddenly increase causing problem for their existence and following "Survival of the fittest" strategy proposed by Charles Darwin.
6. Existence of intelligent species like humans who are even now thinking and questioning their existence and day by day are getting much more closer to unreveal the secrets of nature.

PERSONAL VIEWS:

Disclaimer:The views expressed here are personal views & every individual is entitled to  his own opinion which may or may not comply to them.

At last I would like to summarize that God is neither a person nor belongs to any religion. Actually religion are either promoted by humans(noble mens) to control the behaviour and more preferably the social-actions,morals,dignity,imparting values to citizens,controlling their hostility,attitude,negative thoughts,etc.of a society  flourishing in a particular region.Also the greatest mind of the century Albert Einstein once said:

"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with 

our frail and feeble mind.That deep emotional conviction of the presence of  a superior reasoning power ,which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe ,forms my idea of God"

EVIDENCES DENYING EXISTENCE OF GOD:

atheism

Every coin has  two sides.Similarly there are also the supporters of God as well as persons who don't believe in God.As  Harvard University paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould summarizes his atheistic viewpoint:

“No intervening spirit watches lovingly over the affairs [of 

mankind]. No vital forces propel evolutionary change. And whatever we think of God, his existence is not manifest in the products 

of nature”

(Darwin’s Legacy,Charles

Hamrum ,editor,1983,pp. 6-7).

The major facts which oppose the existence of God are:

T.O.E. god's equation

1. BIG BANG THEORY: According to the big bang theory the universe was created in a systematic manner and time was static before big bang just like that inside massive black hole.To simplify it,if anyone was present at the moment before big bang(observer),neither time nor space could support his existence.Also,he would not possess any consciousness as  Consciousness is an emergent phenomenon which has never been observed or demonstrated in the absence of a living, material brain. Just because brain matter is conscious does not indicate that all matter is conscious. Just because subatomic activity is necessary for atoms and cells to exist and produce consciousness does not mean that consciousness occurs at the subatomic level."I regard consciousness as fundamental. We cannot get behind consciousness." Max planck. Though big bang theory seems fine but again question arises that what was before big bang to which no rational argument exists.
2. GOD PARTCLE:HIGGS BOSON-Recently,in 2013 higgs boson's discovery has caught lot of public & media interest as it explains how the subatomic partciles  gains mass out of nowhere.Though it seems quite irrational first but on getting closer to realm we can say that after the big bang there was enormous amount of energy .But wait...from where does that enormous energy after big-bang comes from- from,nothing.Trying to answer these tough questions is still under research.That's why common people tend to believe in God as it is more easy for them.
3. 1. Acceptance of the idea of a divine Creator requires faith in someone or something we cannot see. Yet they are far from comfortable admitting that all who believe that 
      life evolved from inert matter have faith in a theory that cannot be proven and is founded on far more fragile evidence than that which supports the faith of believers in a Creator.

Finally I would like to conclude that you must always take one side.Living in dilemma & criticizing any particular section is inappropriate as you are then trying to be ignorant towards those who have actually taken some side based on their intelligence,thoughts,etc.May be they may be living on prejudice but at least they dared to take a side.It is not about winning or losing.It's about daring to follow and listen to your internal voice.

take your side

About me: I have tried hard to make the post as unbiased as possible ,but my personal beliefs are reflected unintentionally on it.I apologize for that.As, evident I am a believer of supreme power (you can call it God),but i don't believe on discrimination among the peoples based on their religion,caste,creed etc. because after all each human being has equal right to worship his/her god accordingly.Please do comment on  points which I have skipped.

Number of productive hours for generating income in year

How many hours are really productive for income ????

Has n't this question puzzled many of us when we are really finding it quite hard to survive in this fast paced life.Talking straightforward, we really don't have much time left in our life, when  we usually take a leap from an energetic fun filled college life to a more responsible employee really working for some firm. You may seemingly thought that I  am really talking sarcastically.Do, the basic mathematics and you will find out that why most of us end up being an employee for some firm throughout our life even though we are neither satisfied   with our current employer ,nor with our meagre salary.These are some basic points which I have summarized below after doing some basic mathematics:

• In a normal (non leap year) there are 365 days.On an average , each day has 24 hours.Is n't it.So, theoretically ,

No. of productive hours of income  =   365 * 24= 8760 hours

• Again a normal person spends around 7-8 hours on an average  per day (usually more on weekends and less on normal working days) on a good healthy sleep which is very important.

So,hours spent on sleep = 365 * 7 =  2555 hours 

Hence,

      Amount of remaining hours = 6205 hours

• Now depending upon personal preferences and tastes on an average we all take at least lunch and dinner ,do travel to office ,mall etc.,spending time on hobbies may be reading books ,watching t.v. etc.,doing some personal hygienic activities(details not required).So,lets average it to around 2-3 hours per day although it may be more or less depending upon personal tastes and preferences.

So, 

    hours spent on necessary activities = 365 * 3 =1095 hours

Finally,

No. of productive hours of income(practical) = 6205 -1095 = 5110 (hours)

Final Verdict:

On the basis of final result, you can calculate that at what rate per hour you current employer is paying you & whether you possess capability and potential which is actually much higher than that.

Example,

Suppose your employer pays you 500000 bucks(add your currency) per annum for a work of 12 hours per day(excluding weekends and holidays).So, on an average he is paying you at the rate of :

12 * 365= 4380 hours(Employers are morally responsible for paying you ,even for weekends)

Hence, income granted to you by employer per hour is:

500000/4380  =114.1 bucks per hour(precisely)

Note also that you also have (5110-4380)  =730  productive hours which are usually an asset which can be used to generate some extra income or for recreational activities(going out to some new place,explore the world,meet old friends blah blah)

Conclusion:

1. Are you much more capable than that .Think & act wisely and always make a backup plan which must not be shared with even close friends as it may unnecessarily put pressure on you.
2. If you are thinking of leaving your current job or if your current job is a backup plan for your future venture which is under progress,never ever share this with your peers unless they are themselves part of venture.
3. Always ,try to innovate/own something for which you will gain royality.It may include some intellectual property such as books , invention, idea, patent ,e-business , etc.This is so because these things don't follow normal hours rule.e.g. you may sell thousands of copies of a book (unlikely if author unheard).However,you may try as at least you are getting full 8760 hours for these things.
4. As  far as possible try at least during early part of your life (after college) to make as many mistakes and learn as much as possible by taking Risks because later on you may "PLAY IT SAFE".
5. At last ,try to be an entrepreneur as you are also using hours of other persons life into your hours of productive income by paying him meagre salary.Though, it is not that simple at least give it a try because:

"do what you want to do ,be what you want to be,go where you actually want to go because you have got only 1 life and 1 chance to do all the things you want to do  "
