I was having a conversation with a friend over dinner the
other day, when the topic of discussion moved towards God and Religion. People,
who know me, know that I’m an Atheist. People, who know me better, know that
I’m more Agnostic than Atheist. I’m a person who believes more in logic than
religion. Our common idea about God’s existence is that, he is the one who
created the system (Universe) and keeps it running. The focus of our discussion
moved on to what in this Universe could fit in to that description.
Most pagan religions have similar belief. They consider
‘Sun’ to be their God since Sun is what keeps life of Earth intact. But Sun is
just one among millions and millions of stars in the Universe and so it can't be God. Could it be Galaxy? A galaxy is just a group of stars. It isn't an entity on its own. So what entity in this Universe could fit that
description of God? That’s when it occurred to me. It’s Force! Let me explain.
The Universe began with a Big Bang. Some kind of unknown
force caused this massive star to explode. This explosion scattered various
elements of the exploding star across the Universe. Some of these elements came
together through Gravitational Force
to form new stars and planets, which in turn exploded to form more of them.
Earth was just a broken piece of rock when it came close to the Sun. Without
Gravitational Force and Centrifugal Force,
Earth would have been moving across the empty space and never around the Sun.
Without these forces, there would never have been life in the first place. Earth’s
revolution around the Sun is what makes it habitable for life and its continuous
spinning on its axis for 4 billion years is what made its surface smooth and
suitable for life. Electromagnetic Force
has equally strong role in the Universe as the Gravitational Force. It is
responsible for giving things strength, shape and hardness. It is also
responsible for electricity without which no technology would have existed.
Force such as Tidal Force is
responsible for some of the natural disaster on Earth.
Behind every creation, every life, every birth, every death and every natural disaster, Force has its play. This pure energy we call the Force
is the only entity in this Universe that clearly fits the description for God
and nothing apart from this gives me a more logical explanation to its existence. So, to me, if God does exist, it is in the form of FORCE.
