We all are intelligent human beings and trying to know the unknown. That explains the purpose of our being.?

It is through thousands of years of search and research, we have reached so far. We want to go far beyond the simple to more complicated things and find an answer. That鈥檚 the only way to solve the unsolved mystery. This we can do through logic and and confirm through experimentation. We are bringing entire nature within the purview of our logic. But there can be something beyond that also. Now, suppose I have drawn a circle on a paper. Once the circle is complete, no one can say from which point it was drawn. Only I know where it was started. How hard you might try, you can鈥檛 find? Like that you can鈥檛 find who drew it. But through your logic you can say with 100 % certainty that someone drew it. Till I come forward and tell you that I drew this circle and this is the point I started to draw it. The same logic applies to universe. Just as I can鈥檛 go beyond the reality of circle, I can鈥檛 go beyond the reality of nature. Just as circle had no existence before I drew it, this universe also had no existence before it was created. Unless the creator himself comes and tells that it鈥檚 he who created it, we would never know. We may never know which exactly is the power that created this universe. But no one can deny that there was some power which created this universe. So logically we accept the existence of some power. The only thing is 鈥楬ow to decipher that power?鈥? In mathematics we have to name the unknown and call it x, y , z etc. and make an equation for that. By making several assumptions we solve the equation. So the super power that created this universe is called God and an effort is made to reach him. So scientific efforts won鈥檛 help here. It鈥檚 through logic only you can decipher God. It鈥檚 similar to reaching me who has drawn the circle. Through logic you can conclude what was needed to draw the circle. You can also conclude that the person who drew the circle must be an intelligent person. So it鈥檚 through logic only we can decide about God or God presents himself and proves His existence. There is not going to be direct evidence. So we seek indirect evidence. What鈥檚 wrong in that ? So what鈥檚 wrong with any religion if their direction is right and logical. Disbeliever in God have to answer mythis question? I鈥檓 repeating this question for people to speak their mind and negate my point or support it.

This is a wonderfully articulated point, and I especially like your analogy of a circle, for there is much more to see in all things and even more in the simplicity of their being. This is true that a simple circle could make us ask questions about its nature, its being, and about the cause of it existence. This is also true that logic is the best tool in the armoury of our reasoning, and the best way to reach certainties of a proof in knowledge. I would not however go lightly saying that all religious 鈥榙irections are right and logical鈥? if I am to win some minds over, as most people base the logical arguments upon the reason and rationality derived from the certainties of a materialistic viewpoint. Many people might not be ready to accept that something is right just because it cannot be proved otherwise, or if there is somewhere empty then that there must have been something there just moment ago, or that the absence of beauty always means presence of ugliness, as there might just be a blank.

I can support what I have said above with the very logic of the circle. For instance, how would you convince the doubters upon your return that it was you who drew the circle everyone is talking about? And how would you show as the proof of your claim the point where you started your drawing, as you yourself has said 鈥楬ow hard you might try, you can鈥檛 find鈥? You see, the dilemma we have is not that we do not have claims about how circle was drawn. We have all the claims in many of their religious forms as how the universe came into existence. We are informed by various religions that God exists and He created the universe. The dilemma is how could these claims be validated to satisfy our rational mind? How can it be proved that what the religion says is the voice of God, and there is all correct?

A scientist might like to proceed and investigate a mysterious presence of a circle scientifically. He might speculate that circle is in fact is a growth or a pattern of some micro organisms on kitchen table, or is in fact a circular colony of lichens. What I mean to say that it is quite possible that circle in fact is a living thing, that it has assembled itself into its presents shape and form.

Then the problem with logic is that it is focused objectively upon what mind could see from afar, something at a distance. It then examines objectively what is within the focus of its inquiry by staying aloof and detached. To be logic therefore is to be completely objective and never to be one with what is being observed or investigated. But the fact of human nature is that the mind very quickly becomes involved with what it experiences, or what it observes even from a long distance. And this is how we relate to other people, to their circumstances, and to life in general.

Then may be we are not as distinctively detached from the being of God as our rationally and intellectually nurtured mind makes us wish to see? May be we are but the very part of that circle ourselves, the circle the fullness of which we are hardly able to see, and that, the circle is the part of the being of God Himself?

I thought everyone knew the reason why we were put on earth. "Now" it seems that only I know why. If, anyone wants to know what I know, then they will have to come up with something equally important in exchange.

But, what if you can't convince me that you drew the circle?
