Religion, society and science and the questions

Part I

Well lot has been written and documented on this issue and I am sure we are going to see a lot on this in the future too. But what I present here are my own perspectives and is not meant to offend any religious belief or believers and in course if I do so I offer my humblest apologies.

I start with God. Man always has been fascinated by the all powerful almighty "The God" and his perfect personality. His teachings and his instructions are the utmost epitaph of aesthetic values. He created the universe , the things around us and most importantly us "The Humans". But He also created obstacles in our paths to test our moral judgements or if I may use the word humaneness and if anyone fails to pass through these tests shall go to hell. To spread His messages He made messengers and prophets. Those messengers and prophets turned His messages into scriptures and laws which we know as religion. This is a very generalised simplistic version, without going deep into a particular religious philosophy, of every religious philosophy as far as I am given to understand.

Now my questions as a very strayed soul in the path to enlightenment are: Why did the God feel the necessity to create the universe? Why did he put the so called evil thoughts in our minds?
Why did He created Humans with differences in mind, body and aesthetic values? Why does the religious belief of one region differ from one another if the same God of every religious philosophy created the same humans? Whom do the God call evil?

I hope my questions are humble and legitimate so as not be seen as offensive. I am looking forward to some good replies and if possible a debate on this issue. In part II I shall put forward my own perspective to God, religion, society and science.
