The Oneness of God

Professor of Applied Mathematics Queen Mary College, London, writes: “The universe is astonishingly uniform to a remarkable degree. However, when one looks at it, the composition of the elements in the universe is in the same proportion. The natural laws discovered on Earth are based on arbitrary numbers. For example, the ratio of the amount of matter in an electron to the amount of matter (mass) in a proton is approximately 1/1840. This ratio is found everywhere and at all times. Why is this so? Has a creator arbitrarily chosen these numbers? Is the same proportion necessary in these numbers for the existence of the universe that we observe?” (Sunday Times, London, December 4, 1977) This clearly indicates that an omnipotent force controls all entities. This force is the Creator of the universe and also its Sustainer. In this sequence, people ask, ‘If God exists, then why can’t we see Him?’ The answer to this question is that in the age of science, we are in a world where we have no choice but to believe in things without seeing them. It is not just a question of belief in God. In the universe we inhabit, there are countless things we cannot see and perceive. Yet, despite this, we are compelled to believe in them. Just as we cannot comprehend the existence of God, we cannot understand the existence of all the entities in the universe without accepting faith in the unseen. For example, we accept the existence of the various particles in an atom. One of them is the neutrino. It is said that this particle has no electric charge. Nor does it have any mass. It seems to be nothing. In the words of a scientist:
