Let there be a God ....

Another twist in the tale ... its easy to disprove if there actually is a God.. Ravi has by far the most spritually logical proof that I have heard...

Two assertions and a conclusion...

1. If there is a God who created the world, it must mean that He must have had a desire to do so, which means that there was a lacuna in Him
2. God, by definition, is perfect. He cannot have a lacuna.
3. The two statements contradict each other. Hence there cannot be a God.

It is interesting to explore if the "universe exists independent of a Creator"... hard to concieve, but nevertheless. Whether God came first or the Universe ... the question is a matter of religion.

In the Tagore - Einstein discussion, Tagore insists that whatever we see and know is part of "Human Truth", truth defined only by human mind. Even if we do prove something ... its existence is limited only to Humanity. Occam's razor does explore the bridge between the Human truth and the science... but I won't put my money on it .... I have mused on this before... and couldn't figure out for sure, if it leads to any conclusion on this topic.

God may exist independent of the universe... and as Ravi says ... "It is more correct to say that it is difficult and unnecessary to prove (a negative)".
