Some find the discussion of deity and theology, humorous and irrelevant. Tell that to the majority of humanity – of present and of yonder. Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life (a research team based in Washington D.C.), finds that there are 5.8 billion adults and children who are practicing religion. This represents 84% of the 2010 world population of 6.9 billion people. Are they all a bunch of losers? Depends on your definition, facts and motives.
It is fair to say that religion has helped societies maintain a fair level of civility, especially in the developed countries. But what about the existence of God? Are there any evidence? In my book, Sex. Hell? Evolution and Religion, I address many false evidences presented by mainstream science, in support of Darwinian Evolution.
So, if Darwinian Evolution is on unstable foundations, then raises the open dialogue for a consideration of Intelligent Design. A simple example is DNA. The language structure and coding and execution of those genetic codes is a red alert, in itself! The distinctive thumbprints, retinal structures and unique patterns on each flake of snow is just mind-boggling, if you may!
I mean, I don’t have to be a genius to come to these conclusions.
But what about pain, suffering, sickness and poverty? These areas heavily affected by such plagues and infestations usually don’t practice good hygiene, moral tolerance and respect for human life. Places such as large portions of Africa, India and the Middle East subscribe to a religion that does not address the basic elements of daily life.
A fine example of Social Darwinism in full execution was Nazi Germany. If the Holocaust didn’t happen, with all due respect to all the individuals and families who were in direct involvement, humanity would’t fully comprehend the DANGERS OF SOCIAL DARWINISM, and we would continue in beliefs of what makes the minority elite feel happy; while the majority suffer.
And looking also at ISIS and Al-Qaeda. Why does God allow them to live and do the things that they do? These vigilantes profess a certain basis of beliefs that are obviously promoting violence, and oppression of those who think and believe differently. And yet the majority continue to follow those creeds and religious forms.
Therefore, with life – forced obedience, love, and civil order, is not realistic. There needs to be a process of having all other alternatives explored or allowed to grow, but by their fruits you shall know them. As for the dead, they are in a much better place then a living-breathing middle class worker struggling to keep the bills paid, or a person on I.V. in a hospital bed unconscious in a coma.
The Bible sheds some light on the existence of a just and fair God, in Matthew 13: 24-30, which says “Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.”
Likewise, God allowed Lucifer to dwell in His Presence in Heaven, until “iniquity was found” in him. (Ezekiel 28:15)
Iniquity, the willful act of sins, and an accumulation and repetition of it despite knowing the wrongfulness.
God does exist. Open up your eyes and see that our planet floats on NOTHING! It is upheld by NOTHING visible! God is allowing every man to live the life of which they want to live, but know this: God will bring all actions into judgement. The fruits of every person’s life choices will determine their destiny! Not only after death, but every single day ahead!
