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.
    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.

  1. Hindu Creation Hymn from the Rigveda ca. 3000 BCE

    1. THEN was not non-existent nor existent: there was no realm of air, no sky beyond it.
    What covered in, and where? and what gave shelter? Was water there, unfathomed depth of water?

    2 Death was not then, nor was there aught immortal: no sign was there, the day's and night's divider.
    That One Thing, breathless, breathed by its own nature: apart from it was nothing whatsoever.

    3 Darkness there was: at first concealed in darkness this All was indiscriminate chaos.
    All that existed then was void and formless: by the great power of Warmth was born that Unit.

    4 Thereafter rose Desire in the beginning, Desire, the primal seed and germ of Spirit.
    Sages who searched with their heart's thought discovered the existent's kinship in the non-existent.

    5 Transversely was their severing line extended: what was above it then, and what below it?
    There were begetters, there were mighty forces, free action here and energy up yonder

    6 Who verily knows and who can here declare it, whence it was born and whence comes this creation?
    The Gods are later than this world's production. Who knows then whence it first came into being?

    7 He, the first origin of this creation, whether he formed it all or did not form it,
    Whose eye controls this world in highest heaven, he verily knows it, or perhaps he knows not.
