Why "Sun God"? Is God beyond science?

Just an explanation why i wrote about the Sun God one post below...
This is also the reason why i prefer to call this blog 'Agnostic India' rather than 'Atheistic India'.

I just wanted to, for a moment, consider the outside possibility of the existence of a supernatural being that created our universe and is watching over us... that is 'God'. The intellectual and physical differences are comparable to the differences found in a bacterium and a human scientist studying them. Is it ever possible for a bacterium in the petridish to realize that it is being grown and is being studied?

One could theoretically argue that the differences between a human and God are such that there is no conceivable way of ever knowing or 'proving' the existance of God. Since everything is being controlled by god, even our scientific instruments, protons, photons and all possible particles, why even the very nerve cells which we use to think, there is no way we can prove or disprove the existance of God. God is beyond science.

Is this possible. Of course yes.
Isn't it a sad situation? Of course it is!

Are Atheist "negative people"?

Are they? What do you think?
No God. No Heaven. No Afterlife.
Then what is left?
Isn't this a negative thought?
Superficially, yes. Especially to someone who believes in those stuff strongly all their life.

But truth is truth.
Truth is in Now. Truth is what you can see, feel and measure. There is nothing negative once you accept certain facts which appeal to one's logic though you could imagine better alternatives. [heaven with immortality and endless happy hours of beer!]

Most importantly atheism is NOT an "anti-religion". Its just a disbelief in God. And atheist has no business campaigning for his cause (except at this site ;-) He/she is happy in his beliefs. Let him/her be...

Sun God

He looked up into the sky and watched the sun till it blinded him. His was a happy family in a burgeoning community. Lots of food for everybody's greed! They fermented with merry and were truly workaholic. But he knew this was too good to be true. He believed in the stories of people being taken away and left under the searing sun for the rest of their lives. Some came back half dead. Most believed that this sun god was kind and infinitely benevolent. They ridiculed his paranoia. Good times were here to stay. No more of hard survival near the garbage dump. The warmth of this palace of glass which their ancestors had found, had magical powers. Sugar would rain down day and night and no one slept hungry.

 

He suspected a pattern of pervasive planning.  Life cannot be this easy! There must be a diabolic twist latent in  all the goodness. Infinite goodness has only source – pure evil. This, he strived to prove.

 

So he and his friend dug through tons of sugar and let it dry. They made huge glaciers of sugary glass lenses that would catch the sun god on the ground. It would take a lifetime of futile effort – his elders thought. But in the end he succeeded.

 

The bacterial community couldn't believe what they saw. There was no mistaking the black silhouette of the microscope watching over them while blinding them with light.

 

A new religion was born…

 

They worked harder in sad silence ever after.
