Oh Gawd!

What are the odds of betting “God Exist!” against “There’s no God!” well there might be the other odds which says “God exists, but he does not have influence on our lives!” or wait, “He exists and we are the coins on his chess board!”?

I always liked to debate on His existence. I liked the topic very much – GOD! And when I started to read about “The Blind Watchmaker” by Richard Dawkins, the stir started again! Anbe Sivam emphasizes on the concept of God in a different meaning. Now, there’s always the point when the atheist and the theist are cornered and on the similar question –

Atheist: Can you prove the existence of God?

Theist: Can you prove not His existence?

It is the similar to the forward “Dialogue between the Prof and a student”. It is not necessary that if you cannot see it, it does not exist. Though the thought here is, we can always prove its existence, can’t we?

Life started from where? It was not a just like that! It was not by chance, it was continuous evolution. Makes sense. Yes, I’m quoting Richard here. Yes and for all there must be a starting point, or there’s never a starting point, but only a circle.

It is always to link, Humans from Ape, Apes from Chimps, Chimps from Monkeys and Monkeys from Partial Amphibians (or some sorts), and they from Aquatic species and Aquatic species from lesser known ones… Yes, they from where? Micro organisms, and they from something else, may be chemical compounds. Earth was because of solar system and solar system from Big Bang. Now, how did Big Bang occur? I do not know the answer; a scientist would have the possible, correct, explanation. The questioning continues until you hit upon saying God would be the starting point. And next question would be: How was he created? You cannot have something that comes up by itself! Well, you would say “That’s God!” Yeah, talk to me! Or “God was created from another God!”

This goes on, and I believe it is just a circle or cycle! But how did this cycle result? From where? I’m sure there must be a starting point, but that contradicts as that starting point needs an initiator and which in turn requires to be made! Who made it? Confusion! I hope I’m clear on my confusion – an Oxymoron. Clarified Confusion!

OK, well. There’s no God, no Super Power, no Supreme, no Creator. Tell me how it all started? A point or a cycle? If cycle, how?

cool analysis sundar,

Difficult to comment. We dont know or we sure are ignorant about the fact of the starting point. There is a huge magamoth differnce between not knowing and no able to understand. We sure can understand. Some say we will understand when we are in our death bed, some say we will when we go to heaven or hell. We shall see.

Regrding the circle of evolution its a good ideology. I think its is a probabilitical random distrubution. Like in C or C++ if you generate random numbers, number are generated based on the great gaussian distribution. Like way i feel incidents and issues in life are generated in some probalitical distribution, heman race yet to discover. Some call this probility god, some call it Karma and some call it science.

The da vinci code by dan brown triggered the thought that " You are what you believe in".

If you take thiruvasam (tamizh litrature) it says,

PULLAI (AS A GRASS), PUZHU VAI ( AS A WORM), PEI YAI (ACTUAL MEANING IS GHOS BUT I THINK IT REFERS TO BEASTS), GANANGA LAI( AS A HUMAN),
VALLA SURAAI (AS A ANGEL), DEVARAI (AS A GOD), ASURARAI( AS A DEVIL),
SELLATHA E THAMARA SANGAMATHUL (ALL THE ABOVE SANGAMAM (JOIN) IN ME)
ELLA PIRAPUM PIRANTHU ELAITHOM ( ALL FORMS OF LIFE ARE IN ME).

These lines make me think as evolution proceeds a single creature or a living form has taken differnt forms or structures to evolve.
Some feel nature is god. May be true. In that case nature must have created humans with the sixth sense to escavate all the burried carbon in the earth and finally end itself due to lack of resources. May be then it will start again, like a circle.
I think the point to ponder is, if it is a ircle where are we in the orcle 180, 200, or 320 degrees or close to the 360 mark.

we will see.

@Kartik -

Yes, I do agree! There are better, solvable, problems at hand that requires immediate attention than to ponder on something which still remains a mystery. Analum! I couldn't stop from asking - How are we here? Who knows it could answer all the problems, just like how the hyper computer Deep Thought answered to the question Ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything in The Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy as 42!

LOL!

"Good question Sriram".
I just put a question for your question!
"God created Man or Man created God?"
It's all how we take it! I suggest you to read writings of Swami Vivekananda. .
In this 'Universe', 'something' in the form of 'Matter' was present, it is there now and it will be there for ever in some form or some shape. We - you, I and all the others which are exist in this world were descended from this something. We have to start and stop here only. How and where this 'something' came? No one in this 'Universe' can answer this!
All the existence in this 'Universe' came from this 'Matter' only.
There is only three permanent 'Things' will exist forever in this Universe. They are 1. The Space [AAgayam], 2. Time [Kaalam], & 3. Matter [PoruL]. These will be there forever.
We Human thinking that we are the only living things exists in this world. But it is not so. There are many other worlds which Human can not see or feel or know, also exist. These will be there in the universe forever. There is no beginning or end!!
Our birth is only a 'Visit' in this Human 'Race'and we will be visiting other places too! We were there in these other worlds and going to see many others too!
All the above are the perceptions from our [this] Human race. There are many other worlds too, which we do not know and we will never know!! For understanding purpose, please observe the nature of light and sound. The light in lower band [Infra red] and higher band [Ultra violet] can not be seen by Human eyes]. Sound less than 20 KCs and more than 25 KCs can not be heard by Human ears. Same way these other worlds can not be seen are known to all Human except few extraordinary people, whom we call as 'Rishi or Mahan'.
All the Saints know about the theory of evolutions. Aadhi Sankarar knows this. That is why he has mentioned in his 'Dvidha' books Paramathma and Jeevathmaa are one and the same'.
There are many many mysteries in nature, which we do not and can not understand!!

In the earlier there was no documentation for the living creature. This is one of the reasons why people of this age are pushing for documentation. As said this one, If you remember yourself if you are struck with any problems you call upon God, since you presume that God is there, the super natural power some where exist and cannot be seen, still controls every one on this world and also some other worlds which we are not aware off as mentioned in one of the comment earlier. Can any one answer to the simplest question, why people call God when in difficulties? The answer is simple, since he has started the whole loop, so let him resolve and pass on to us or help in resolving the solution. For egs, you are a student and in difficulties you call God if no one is around you to help solve some problem. After which you either forget the problem or you are able to get direction to contact the right person, How is this happening. You have a perception that you are in thought but that is a perception only. There actually is a super natural powers behind working on each of us behind the screen to help you in need.

Hope every one has read the article on how brain functions and how persons are committing crime or have become serial killer published in the Times of India some where last week. One particular incident is that one person gets tremendous pleasure from killing people at certain times. When he is normal he repents for the crime he has done and also requested the scientist to analyze his brain once he is dead.

Have you ever thought why people call God upon problems, let it be the people who say "God exists" or "God does not exist". The tendency is to blame some one for the problems, this is humane tendency. God exist in no form but he does not exist in some form.

Fancy Dress Competition alias 'Ethnic Day' for Software Engineers

Remember the time when we used to wear different costumes to the “Fancy Dress” competition conducted in our school/other’s? Golden times – Fun filled and totally mind-boggling! Guess, I was a born actor and may be talented as well, look at my profile, for the roles I’ve played – I once dressed up as Krishna and yes, there was a girl who dressed up as Radha and we both stood against a wall and stood and stood and it goes on…! Cute, she was. Childhood crushes – die-hard. (Have you ever watched a movie Little Rascals ? If not, do watch or place an order to me and I’ll pass across a copy by borrowing it from my friend – We had girl hater’s gang as well!) Next Ă  Played a role as an elephant in ‘Snow White and the seven Dwarves’ with my friend playing Wabbit. Talent Ă  Went around the girl (Snow White) ‘ Ynaaaaaaa… ’. RAW Talent! Then chance beckoned up on for, to play a role of ‘Hanuman’, and this time went around ‘Sai Baba’ like a champ (read it as chimp?!) – people actually said I toppe

Adieu – The ever devouring machine … My stomach!

Hunger struck, I fumbled and stumbled with a medium pan pizza, which had a double layered cheese. One may say, that happens, buddy! Had you known me you would have empathized in a different way... Rewind back … 20 odd yrs … I am eating a snack, my sister is eating a snack... 10 minutes later because of me watching her eat … I would end up eating both of ours. Few days later … I am eating an ice cream, my sister too is eating or about to eat an ice cream, 10 minutes later because of me watching her eat … I would end up eating both of ours. Few months later … I am eating a favourite meal, my sister is eating a not so favourite meal, but 10 minutes later I started to eat what she had, well after completing what was mine. So, you see, I was born to eat and enjoy food unfortunately (or fortunately for the animal kingdom) the only thing I always ate was clean vegetarian food. And my vegetarian occasionally had eggs in some other form – cakes or mayonnaise. I was known for what and how I eat.

Yearly update to Stork - 2024

Each year, on or about Super Mar10 (Skanda's birthday), I write (on Facebook) a yearly update to Stork about Skanda's progress through his age. I will be blogging as well, from now on. You'll be able to read the previous issues here . Sunday, March 10, 2024, Stouffville, ON, Canada Dear Stork, I hope this letter finds you well. It's been a while since we last communicated. Our little Skanda has turned nine, the magical and highest single-digit number. I'm unsure if the warranty on this mortal coil has expired, or if that happens when the teenage years begin? We seem to have misplaced the paperwork, so any clarification would be appreciated. The past year has been quite a journey! Skanda's interest in Minecraft has grown manifold, watching YouTubers' play/narrate and occasionally joining himself on his Linux machine. He even takes notes while watching. I've introduced him to more games, such as Mini Metro and Mini Motorways. His fascination with trains

Chuchu's 2nd year of becoming stardust

 Dear Yama/Chitragupta - How have you all been? A year had passed since our last interaction . How is Chuchu doing? It has been two years since you he arrived at your place. I hope he has been well treated and he has treated you both well? Well, a lot have happened in the last one year. More leaders of nations have turned their tenure to a regime. More people have been killed - thanks to the war, environmental destruction (forest fire/drought/famine/floods/pollution), and diseases. You must have noticed the turnover - month-over-month on your end; if not please check with Chitragupta. Life has been difficult for many people - sustenance is no more an option. We as a generation are letting down the future. Well, that's not why this post is about. If Chuchu was around, I would have had fun poking him with politics back home. Shruthi has made - apparently - a favourtie of Chuchu called Bambai lakidi a.k.a Kalakala. I never knew that. It is Praneetha's favourite though. We are pla

Marriage Gossips and Others…

Marriage is always fun. Be it relative’s or friend’s or someone whom you had been acquainted and long forgotten his/her existence! What makes it very interesting? Marriage is interesting because… No! This is not a SST/ENG/EVS class. Gossips rule the whole party! She1: Aye! Paathiyaadi avavla? Evvalavu nagai potturukka! She2: Paathundu than irukken, ava husband-u Dubai-la velai seiaraanam! (Now the situation has changed. It is more like “Ava husband-u America-la Software-la velai seiranama…”) She1: Ye Archana inga vayen. Ennadi athu kathula? Puthu model-a? Archana: Amam maami! LKS-la puthusa oru model vanthuthu. Avar kitten ketten, ethu venumo vangikko appadinu sollittu avroda card koduthu-tu poittaru. (Archana leaves after that.) She1: Koduthu vechava. Hmmm!

She1: Athan, tight-a oru sattaiyum

Penpencils

Yes, the topic says so. I thought I'll relax a bit and write about these amazing instruments after forgetting how to hold them and write on a paper. Today, I completed five long years (and some days) of working/existing in one company, right after college. While in college, I wasted less paper, but more notebooks – shabbily put marks on papers. Well, I am talking about the notes that were vomited out of my lecturer's mouth – yes, the same slimy thing. I knew how to write. Write fast - almost like shorthand language which the journalists prefer. I switched between pens (ballpoint pens and fountain pens and sometimes ball-less as well ;)) and sometimes fell in love with pencils. These switches happened after first year, until then I was still a school kid and wasn't unshackled from the rope around my neck to be disobedient. Not disobedient, but a little subtler. Five years! I tried in-between to write - with anything - but failed. I type, though. Got used to it! Not long bac

Bad Kid

Episode 1 – It is late evening and you and your nephew (a 4 or 5 yr old kid) are on a crowded road. The kid is the most dreaded kid known ever, known for his adamancy! Let’s call the nephew as S. S spots a road side shop and the seller of it sells choppu saman – basically it is the stuff which is kind of a kitchen set for kids. As they approach the shop, S turns to his uncle S: Mama, I need it. Mama (knows about the kid, but still tries his luck): No, S. We can buy that later, we have already bought enough. Your mom would have already bought you this, and I think I have seen it as well. S: Yes, I do have one, but you see it is old, and the set here has many more that I do not have. Mama: No, S. Not today. Let’s leave. Sometime later. S: No, I need it. And I need it now. Mama: Sorry, not possible. S: Mummy! I need it, I need it, I need it! (Sits on the road next to the pavement where the shop has spread out) Mama: You can do whatever you want it, but the answer is “No
