God is the ultimate power that created the universe and everything in it. For many, that statement is all that is required to validate their existence in this space and time. But why is it so easy for them to willingly believe the unbelievable? Our lives are based on perceptions of fact, rules that have been accepted by us all that as mortal beings we all adhere to.

So why this allowed notion that all things are from a God? The idea that a super-being is responsible for everything around us is wild speculation at best; to have an entire belief based on these assumptions is a difficult concept to grasp. Because a believer can feel God’s presence, this appears to the only real defining aspect of God’s existence to another person. If that was used in any other situation you wouldn’t be taken seriously and ignored by others as mad.

Science is trying its hardest to find out how the universe was created, some see this as breaking down the walls of belief and exposing God as a fake, a trick of the mind. Science isn’t that far away from religion in many ways, they want answers too: who are we and why we’re hear. Proof maybe lacking but still people make claims to know just what really is going on around us.

A God is an abstention of facing the big question: the meaning of life. If you’re not willing to believe that the universe is a random chemical reaction then make up a story, you’ll feel connected and meaning can be manufactured from that. Planet Earth is a biological coincidence, just enough distance from the Sun to create life. The other story is that we’re somehow God’s greenhouse, humans created in his image to live with his teachings in a perfect eco-system.

Yet people still have faith, despite on-going troubles instilled by it in countries all over the world. Essentially all beliefs follow the same principle of a God, the creator of worlds. Each faith doesn’t incorporate another though, non-believers are nearly always damned in the worst way possible, according to any particular faiths’ good books.

With so many questions that present themselves when looking at the universe, God and its existence isn’t one that can ever be proved. It’s just a mechanism for some to make sense of the great mystery of time and space. Is it so difficult to accept that a biological accident is the only reason Earth and universe is here?

To look at belief logically, you could argue that it is no more than a mental state-of-mind, a frame work that enables the believer to stay focused and true in the great expanse of nothingness. Lose that strong feeling of faith and some may struggle to maintain a sense of who or what they are in the big picture.

If you have never been touched by God then the premise of religion is a tough mechanism to grasp. From the outside, its a loosely sold ideal that can be thrown around as fact, when absolutely nothing is needed to justify its foundation in truth. God can be the answer for many; if it means you can avoid those awkward questions then by all means believe..

Nobody is lost without a God, it just means you follow your own path, nothing more freeing than that in the universe.
