Mr. Rahmani,

Please stop trying to implying I am an atheist like you. That is entirely inaccurate.

 

I believe in one God. Therefore, I am not an atheist like you. To say that is entirely inaccurate. In addition, to say that atheism is the natural progression from monotheism is absurd. The greatest minds in philosophy and science acknowledge there must be a Creator, not creators (polytheism), but A CREATOR based on probability laws and simple logic. So, if you are going to attack those who believe in GOD, you are essentially attacking the scientific revolutionaries for whom you base many of your atheist arguments upon. Ironically, these revolutionaries believe the opposite.

The fact remains that science is still not enough for atheist to see the truth of Creation. The irony is that you so-called experts do not seem to be able to use simple logic or common sense on whether there must be a Creator. Here is an article I came across using basic common sense that a Creator must exist.

 

Why God Must Exist

 Imagine a mechanism. Imagine nothing else exists apart from this mechanism. This mechanism is made of particles. Particles obey a set of laws known as the laws of physics. This mechanism does the task it does whether it has been designed to do so or not. However, the mechanism is not aware of what it is doing. The mechanism is. Nothing is aware of the activity of the mechanism and therefore the mechanism might as well not exist.

 Now imagine a more complicated mechanism say a top of the range pc with the best programming in the world. This mechanism can behave in a manner which creates the illusion of conscious thought. However, just like the first mechanism, this mechanism simply follows a set of predetermined laws. Also, just like the first mechanism this mechanism exists and does what it does. Only since there is no aware observer the mechanism might as well not exist.

Now lets imagine another mechanism that is much more complicated mechanism than a computer. A human being. The human does what it does just as a computer does. Only that it is much more complicated than a computer. Its particles obey the laws of physics, its brain and organs perform chemical reactions. If the human body is simply made out of particles the brain should just function as the previous mechanisms. Sure it performs complex processes but all it does is:

1. Exist
2. Follow set laws

Ask yourself if you agree with this. If you do then you come to either one of three conclusions. Either you are:

1. A particle inside of your brain.
2. Some particles of your body
3. Some other entity besides the physical body.

This is why number 1 is wrong:

There is no particle large enough or complicated enough to be able to have all of the information of the brain sent into it. A simple atom, for example, is far too small and would be lost in the massive brain.

This is why number 2 is wrong:

The self can only be singular. Atoms are constantly leaving the body and entering the body. If the particles which made up your body were you then parts of you would have left you and entered into other people. Therefore you would be able to experience the goings on of other human bodies apart from your own. Which you can’t.

So now we are left with number 3. This is the only possible explanation I can see. (If you can think of any more please tell me.) There must be a separate entity which is connected to your brain or whole body and to which the information in the brain is sent. This is you. Also there must be not just one connection to one central part of the brain where the main thought process takes place otherwise one would only be able to experience thoughts and not the five senses. There must be a connection to the various parts of the brain such as those which deal with smell, hearing, sight, feeling and taste.

What does this have to do with God? Well without god there is no reason for us to have such an existence as is present with our non-physical (when I say non-physical I mean it doesn’t exist as we do in the three dimensions) entity (let’s call it the soul). Scientist who don’t believe in god pretty much state that:
 

• That matter was created during the big bang.
• This matter formed planets and stars.
• Life spontaneously generated on at least one planet
• Life slowly evolved to form us through survival of the fittest.
   

I’m not necessarily denying that this stuff happened but am simply saying that this alone is not possible to be able to produce what we have for two reasons.
There is no evolutionary reason for the body and mind to have a soul since the brain itself is able to carry out all of the thought processes itself.
 

Even if there was an evolutionary reason for us to have a soul how can evolution design a part to the body that isn’t physical. Evolution is caused by the mutation of Genetic material. Genetic material simply codes for the production of different proteins from amino acids. The soul is not a protein and is not controlled by proteins (as it isn’t physical) so it cannot be altered through evolution.
 

This theory not only shows that there must be a god but that god deals with us as life forms instead of simply creating matter.

Rejecting the existence of GOD is simply the result of ignorance, augmented by arrogance in the mind of an atheist.
