God and why we need Him?

PartII

God and his existence has always been a mystery and will always remain debatable until God(if the God that we define exist) himself comes and provides the proof. First of all let us take a look at the definition of God. Who is God? God is the all powerful, all knowing who created everything who would punish us in hell for not following his laws(more or less this trend is followed in all the religious beliefs). Now with that kind of definition the problem is there is too much divine intervention as philosophers like Aristotle contemplated about the issue in earlier times. I mean to say that for such kind of Godly existence there is no scope for science, everything would have been random but we know fire always burns due to heat energy, a pencil always writes in paper due to friction etc. But one can always argue that everything is a sham that we can only see what we are shown that we are incapable to look at things from different angles. Then my point is why is the emergence of medical science(most of the diseases in earlier times were deemed to be curses of some sort or a demonic activity), then why give us the power to harness electricity, why give us the power to fly in aeroplanes and that too after lets say the renaissance(things began to change before renaissance but most of the changes took place after the renaissance period) period. Why that timeline , why not before that time?, What did we do to gain such favours from the Almighty to be able to get cured from the diseases without divine intervention or travel in space or send probes to mars and moon after the period of renaissance? As with the scientific paradox of existence of an almighty God that if such a God exist then can He create a stone which He Himself cannot lift and If He can then how is He all powerful? Then if such a God doesnot exist according to my perspective(one can always argue with the sham perspective) , why we needed/need Him or how did He get created? For this I would like to narrate a fictional story and try to justify the aforementioned topic.

Long Long time back a cro-magnon relaxing in a contemplative mood saw a lightning strike accompanied with a thundering sound. He felt fear, excitement (the kind of feeling one gets when adrenaline pumps up). He thought and thought about it but due to lack of his knowledge and with the current state of mind he had at that time he could come up with only one solution and that was there is some divine intervention i.e lightning happens because of some divine hand. Now we know lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity accompanied by thunder. He could apply and relate this to all the other phenomena. He spread the message to his tribesmen and each one of them could not find an answer either and accepted his solution. He became a sort of messenger because he could think and find solutions to natural phenomena(basically applying the same ideas of divine hand) and the trend spread. From then on started the culture of nature worship i.e paganism. As far as I am given to understand paganism was earliest form of religious worship. Thats why we can see paganism in tribes. Organized form of religion came much much later. It was when Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed and other godlike people started preaching their teachings we come across organized religions. My point here is that we always referred ourselves to the divine hand when we couldnot find any solution. When things seemed bizzare and unsolvable we always used the divine excuse(even now we do it). We use the divine excuse to simplfy and justify our acts as well as explain natural phenomena.

I used the term godlike people for Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed because they were different although they themselves believed in a higher power. They were different in a sense that they could effectively apply their ideas and create a difference in the world with their ideas of social reforms. And they themselves lead a life which the majority dared not to follow which makes them godlike. According to me even Mahatma Gandhi(the term Mahatma means great soul) and Nelson Mandela are Godlike people because they could create a difference with their ideas. I believe each one of has a Godlike personality(the kind of definition we have for God although we cannot do magic) in ourselves and that we need not to go find any other divine hand. I believe if each one of us can find that Godly existence in ourselves we would not have any war, we would have any crime. We would understand each other and our minds would resonate in such unison that the world that we dreamed of shall come true.
