Does God exist?

‘Does God exist?’ Each one of us comes across this question in his lifetime. Since childhood most of us are taught that God is the ultimate power, who is responsible for everyone and everything.

People believe in Jesus, Allah, Bhagwan, etc. Some say these are just names given by people of different religions to the same God. There are people who say that God does not exist.

Every group of people, every civilization believed in God or some form of afterlife. The Bible says that creation declares the glory of God.  Where does the wind come from? What  happened when the first star was made, and what caused it to be? What the universe is made of and how far it stretches? When was the first morning? We have no theories and scientific proof for these questions.

"God works in mysterious ways." This is a religious person's way of saying "I don't know." People say they can feel the presence of God, they have seen God or they have seen His miracles. Sure, it could be God's presence... Or you could simply be delusional.

The theory of evolution, produced by Darwin, states that there isn't a 'God' at all. There is no authenticated evidence to suggest that 'God' does exist. Whereas, there is more than enough evidence to support Darwin's theory.

The Bhagwadgita, the holy book of the Hindus have instances like freezing time during a battle which is not practically possible. It has things which cannot be proved unlike Darwin’s theory.

We do not know whether God exists or not. But, people believe that there is something powerful and responsible for all the creations and happenings in the world. Science does not prove how the Big Bang actually happened? But, people are attached with the term “God” in a way which actually helps them to do things. A person might be walking alone on a deserted street at night. You chant God’s name and pray to him to keep you safe. There might be no God at all but it gives you confidence.

No scientific theories and holy books have come to a conclusion yet. Whether “God exists or not?”
