Our unbelief in God


Everything about life, existence and nature may just be a coincidence. However, deep reflection will make us realize it’s more than a coincidence. The awesomeness of the miracle in everything is an attestation to the existence of a supreme power which is well hidden yet visible to all of mankind. We can’t be any better than an atheist, polytheist or pagans if we don’t fully understand the concept of God.

To ‘fully’ understand the concept of God in itself is a journey that can lead to guidance or misguidance and/or madness. We are not meant to go beyond the revelations and explanations given by the holy books and the various prophets sent by God. Ground breaking discoveries by science has added to the evidence of the existence of God than it has supported the position of an atheist. There is always a question of ‘why’, ‘what’, and ‘who’ after causes or explanation for a phenomenon which otherwise was a miracle earlier.

God created everything. And everything includes human, spirits, animals, trees and every order living and non-living things. We shouldn’t confuse ourselves by thinking the world is controlled by two opposing forces of good and evil. Entertaining the thought that the devil has equal but opposing power to that of God is an act which can be described as associating partners with God and not admitting God has power over every.
Since God created all and possesses power over everything, everyone and every action, then it’s important it’s Him and Him alone we worship. There are miracles in all of God’s creation. The sun, moon, the galaxy, each and every animal, the mountains, all show that there is miracle in all of God’s creation. If the miracles we see are enough to make us worship any of His creation then we should be worshipping all His creations including you, the reader of this article since you are also God’s miracle. God is not embodied in any of His creation. Space and time contains Him not.

Worshipping or idolizing any of God’s creation questions our belief and faith in Him. Worshipping any other deity solely or along with God doesn’t make us better than pagans, atheist or polytheists.
