Does God exist?

Does God exist? There is an emotional perspective to this question (called as religion) and then there is a logical perspective. Let us touch upon the latter one in this blog.

If God doesn't exist, who created this universe? How are we conscious? Who designed everything so perfectly that we are alive? These are some of the typical questions of the "logical" class of people. But what they forget to take into consideration is that how old the life on earth really is compared to the age of the universe?

The age of the universe is estimated to be around 13.8 billion years since the Big Bang. The life on earth started to exist from about 3.7 billion years ago. What does that mean? If there really was a creator, what took him/her so long to form life on earth? And if indeed he designed every position of the planet, comet and space-time fabric so perfectly, why was there an imperfection for about 10.1 billion years? What do you mean by "perfect"? Anything that supports life is perfect. But that is just from the point of view of the life forms on earth, isn't it?

Can you look at where humans are heading towards? Climate change has become a real crisis. So, if in a few hundred years, this planet becomes unhabitable will you believe that there was no creator? Because the universe will be "imperfect", right?

Then what is the logical explanation for all of this? In my opinion, it is all a mistake. Life happened by chance. Through quadrillions of different possibilities that existed in the universe, one such possibility is life. Out of a quadrillion combinations of elements, occurring every quadrillionth of a  second, in each of a quadrillion different places, one such combination is life. And by Darwinian theory (survival of the fittest), the chain of life continued, becoming more and more complex structures of carbon.

Conclusion: If you ever feel there is a creator of "life", remember there is also "death" that denies this fact.
