Considering the arguments of the atheists against God, their major
objection to God seems to be that a God who could create a complex universe and
design life on one of the planets, earth, has to be a very complex Being. So
they ask, who created the Creator? Who designed the Designer?
The question put up by these atheists is God ‘must be a
supremely complex and improbable entity, who needs an even bigger explanation.’[1]
Naturally, the puny human mind, even if it is the mind of a sharp atheist like
Richard Dawkins, is not able to fathom the depths of a Being called God.
On the face of it the question is so ludicrous. If God has to
be created, then He is no God at all. He is God because He is self-existent, above
all created beings and the created matter in the universe. Dawkins is not able
to comprehend a powerful Being, who is not created, but is in existence always,
in eternity, needing no one to create Him.
Just because people like him have difficulty in comprehending
an omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent God, who is the Alpha and Omega, the
First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, can they postulate that God does
not exist? Isn’t it like the proverbial ostrich, which would bury its head in
the sand and think that the enemy around him does not exist, because he is not
able to see him!
What is the alternate explanation provided by atheists like
Dawkins? Since they are not able to think, imagine, visualize, comprehend or
experience God the Creator, in their limited capacity to think, a task which is
constrained by a brain which is perishable on death, they propose natural
selection as the alternative.
Natural selection discovered and propounded by Charles Darwin
looks like a life-savior for the atheist, who does not want to believe in an all
powerful God. So they switch a lie for the Truth; a mechanistic force like
natural selection in the place of the living God the Almighty.
Again, how does an atheist swearing on natural selection
explain the origin of life itself? Only if there was life on earth as a
starting point, natural selection could have operated on it and produce a
gradation of life from simple to the complex life-forms. That is what they
propose, as if it all happened in a dream!
Dawkins says, ‘origin of life was a unique event which had to
happen only once.’[2] The
explanation of this unique event, he brazenly attributes to luck, ‘initial stroke
of luck.’[3]
Is that an explanation worth a great mind like Dawkins? Just like a child he
believes in luck! The starting of the first life on earth, that magnificent event,
can it be attributed to mere luck? Is it a child’s play? Is this a scientific
explanation? People, even great biologists, need to think.
Not wanting to believe in a Creator God, these people spun
magic weave after weave, worse than what they condemn among creationists. Not
able to explain the origin and existence of a life-friendly planet, the earth, where
the six fundamental constants which hold the universe together are so finely
tuned, so that life could appear and is supported, these atheist scientists
propose a Multiverse (many universes!). They propose, ‘there are many universes,
co-existing like bubbles of foam, in a ‘multiverse’.[4]
The idea is somewhere somehow by a stroke of luck the first
life appeared and there after Natural Selection took over to shape and bring
out different life forms including man/woman, as if from a magical Pandora box!
But is there any proof?
NO, not a single shred of proof! Scientists who reject God
because there is no proof and that it is highly improbable, are willing to bet
their lives on luck and multiverse, without any iota of proof! Amazing!
Such people would rather believe in a mechanical grind named
natural selection than God who created it all. Let me ask, who made natural selection
a force? How did it get the so called power to select and what is its
intelligence to make such a selection? What is its motivation? Who gave it such
motivation, if any? The scientific-minded atheists have no answer.
There are only suppositions, guess work, presumptions,
assumptions, hypotheses and lastly faith in some luck, fluke by which life
originated.
I think they could have done better!
