We have the power of logical
reasoning and we use it in many places to benefit ourselves. We can use it
to find the truth.
My belief is based on positive
knowledge and certainty, not on faith - faith is defined as 'unquestioning
belief in something for which there is no proof'.
Once we have the proof, faith
becomes obsolete.
Because of the creation of the
universe and its complex design which could not come by chance, we know
there is a Creator.
WE also know that the Creator has
awesome power from the above.
So let why did
He create this where we could not know Him or see Him - fair
question.
You wonder about having direct
contact with the Creator. The answer is no, and for a very good reason. If
I did have direct contact and told you so, would you believe me? No, and
you should not. Seeing, hearing, feeling, touching, experiencing on an
individual level is too weak a proof for others.
The truth has to be evident in
its entirety - it should give us answers to all our legitimate questions.
Considering that you, or nobody else that you know has the answers to all
legitimate questions, (whether I have the answers is immaterial at this
stage), you admit that you do not have the truth.
So is it logical to insist that
no one else has either? The answer
lies on who is able to provide all the answers.
And whether one agrees or
disagrees with the answers, one has to admit that if all the answers are
provided, it is definitely an improvement over those who have more doubts
than answers - and those without answers should sincerely scrutinize those
answers instead of rejecting them based on their religion of personal
convenience. Believing that there is no God is no more scientific than
believing in God if both methods are not based on sound logic and reasoning.
