Mutual Influence of the Metaphysical and Physical

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.
