<\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Such moments of despair should remind everyone, from religious scholars to atheists, of humanity&#8217;s dependence on a far greater reality than our own miserable one. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A reality by far greater in knowledge, strength, will, majesty and honor.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">At such moments of grief, when all human attempts have failed and no element of material existence offers hope of comfort or salvation, who else will that person call? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">How many invocations caused by this tension are made to God at such moments of the test, with the promise of lifelong piety? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">And how many of them are held? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Undoubtedly, the day of greatest pain is Judgment Day, and it will be disastrous for a person to recognize the existence of God only on that day. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The English poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, spoke of the irony of the desperate human reputation in The Cry of the Human: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">and lips say, &#8222;God be merciful&#8220;,<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Who never said: &#8222;God, you are praised&#8220;. <\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The thoughtful atheist, the skeptic, who fears the possibility of the existence of God, may wish to do the \u201cprayer of the skeptic\u201d as follows:. <\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">&#8222;O Lord &#8211; if there is a Lord, <\/span><\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">save my soul &#8211; if I have a soul.&#8220; [2] <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Given the skepticism that blocks belief, how can a person be wrong with the above prayer? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If atheists remain unbelieving, they will not be worse off than before; <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">should belief follow a sincere appeal, Thomas Jefferson has the following to say:.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">\u201cIf you find a reason to believe that there is a God, an awareness that you are acting under His supervision and that He approves of it, you will feel a great deal of excitement; <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">as if there was a future state, the hope of a happy existence that stimulates the appetite to be worthy of it &#8230; \u201d[3]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It can be suggested that if an individual cannot see the proof of God in the magnificence of His creation, the advice should be given to take another look at it. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As Francis Bacon is quoted: &#8222;I would rather believe all the stories from the legends and the Talmud and the Alcoran (ie Quran), because this is a universal framework without an inclination.&#8220; [4] His comment continued: &#8220; God has never worked a miracle to convince atheism because its simple works are convincing. \u201d[5] Remarkable is the fact that even the lowest elements of God&#8217;s creation, although common from His point of view, are ours Represent miracles. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Take a little animal like a spider as an example. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Does anyone actually believe <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">that such an extraordinary complicated creature developed from the original soup? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Only one of these marvels can produce up to seven different types of silk, some as thin as the wavelength of visible light, but stronger than steel. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Silk varies from the elastic, sticky strands for traps to non-stick tow ropes and frame threads to the silk to encase the prey, to make the egg bag, etc. The spider can not only produce seven types of silk of its own choice, as required, but absorb, tear off and restore them again &#8211; recycling down to the basic elements. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">And this is just a small part of the spider&#8217;s miracle.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">And yet humanity rises to the heights of arrogance. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Thinking for a moment should make human hearts tend to be humble. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Look at a building and you think of the architect, a sculpture and you understand the sculptor. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">But examine the subtle intricacies of creation, from the complex structure and harmony of the physics of the nuclear particles to the cartographically undetected vastness of space, and one person doesn&#8217;t worry &#8230; nothing? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Surrounded by a world of synchronous complications, we humans cannot even assemble the wing of a mosquito. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">And the whole world and the whole universe exist in a state of perfect orchestration as a result of random events, <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">who shaped the cosmic chaos into a balanced perfection? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Some choose chance, others choose creation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Footnotes: <\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">[1] NY Times. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Apr 13, 1944.

as the assumption that we as human beings, ourselves an element of creation, know better than God how to order His creation &#8211; combined with the lack of appreciation for higher planning.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The fact that many people fail to make sense of certain aspects of life should not dissuade them from believing in God. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The duty of man is not to question or deny the qualities and presence of God and not to be arrogant by testifying that he is capable of doing something better than man&#8217;s position in this life to accept and make the best of what we have been given. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In comparison, the fact that a person dislikes the way the boss organizes things at work and does not understand the decisions that the boss makes does not deny his existence. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is everyone\u2019s duty to do the work that\u2019s been assigned to them, <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">so that it is paid and promoted. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Similarly, the lack of understanding or understanding the way God arranges His creation does not deny His existence. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Humankind should rather recognize with humility that it is not like the boss at work, who could be wrong, but God is absolutely perfect, He is always right, never wrong. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Humanity should bow before Him in willing submission and acknowledge that our lack of understanding His planning does not mean His fault. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">He is the Lord and Master of Creation and we are not;

no jumping back, no pulling away &#8211; is beyond human imagination. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The few who have survived such burns agree. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The torments of burning the whole body not only exceed the limits of human imagination, but the terrible pain cannot be adequately described in our language at all. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The horror cannot be adequately rendered by one who lacks experience, nor by those who have been hurt,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">\u201c\u2026 But this life on the other side (compared to the other world) is nothing but a temporary pleasure.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">(Quran 13:26) <\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">With regard to the subject matter of this Appendix [1], two elements deserve special attention, the first is that all people have an innate knowledge of the existence of God deep within. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Humanity may spiritualize this consciousness in search of the comforts and joys of this world, but deep down, all of humanity knows the truth. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In addition, God knows that we know and He alone can measure the level of revolt and \/ or loyalty of each individual.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The second element of dawning spiritual awareness is easy to understand that there is rarely a free meal. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Very rarely does someone get something for nothing. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In the end, if a man works for a boss he doesn&#8217;t understand or disagree with, he still has to do his job to get paid. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Nobody goes to work and just says, &#8222;I&#8217;m at work,&#8220; expecting a payment slip based on nothing but an unproductive presence. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Accordingly, mankind must fulfill an obligation consisting in the service and worship of God if it hopes to receive His reward. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This is not just our purpose in life, it is the description of our work. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For this reason, Muslims claim<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">&#8222;And I only created the Ginn and the people to serve me.&#8220; <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">(Quran 51:56)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Many people question the meaning of life, but the position of believers of many religions is exactly the one described above &#8211; mankind exists for no other reason than to serve and worship God. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The suggestion is that every single element of creation exists either as an aid or test for humanity in fulfilling this duty. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Unlike worldly occupation, one can neglect his or her responsibility towards God and a period of grace is guaranteed to him or her. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">At the end of this probationary period, called life, accounts are due and payable, and it is certainly not the best time to determine that his account is &#8218;red numbers&#8216;.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Francis Bacon concludes the subject of this appendix with the wonderful statement: \u201cThose who deny God destroy the nobility of man; <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">for surely man is related to animals with his body; <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">and if he were not related to God in his spirit, he would be an ordinary and base creature. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">\u201d[2] If a person believes that after a few million years something worthwhile will emerge from the barbecue, from the foam beating of Stanley Miller and Harold Urey&#8217;s original bouillabaise, then humanity will be held responsible for what we all have within us feel &#8211; our soul or our mind. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Every single person has one and here is the metaphysical milestone that distinguishes man from animal.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Once again, those who doubt the one that cannot be learned directly could find an excuse for denying the soul, but they will most likely find that they have little company. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In addition, the discussion then moves in the direction of the nature of truth, knowledge, and evidence, which is the logical stepping stone to the next section, agnosticism. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Footnotes: <\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">[1] This article is originally an appendix to the book \u201cThe First and Final Commandment\u201d by the same author. <\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">[2] Bacon, Francis. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Atheism. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">P. 16.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Source: https:\/\/www.islamland.com\/deu\/articles\/atheismus-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Atheism (part 1 of 2): Denying the Undeniable &nbsp;
