God’s Existence

UNIVERSAL EVIDENCE OF GOD AND THE HEREAFTER This was my first philosophical argument about God’s existence. I framed this in these words: “I am; therefore, God is.” Scientific Validity of the Inferential Argument After this, I sought to study this issue using scientific methods. As long as studies in science were limited to the macro world, only something that could be directly observed was regarded as valid. However, when the journey of the study of science moved on and arrived at the micro world, a significant change occurred. If earlier, the observational or direct argument was regarded as valid, with the splitting of the atom, the inferential argument came to be considered equally valid. The principle of arguments from the seen (direct argument) to the unseen (inferential argument) was now accepted as a proper scientific argument and method. This issue can be easily explained through simple examples. For example, if you want to count apples, you can say: “Two apples plus two apples make four apples.” This is an example of an observational or direct argument. An example of the inferential or indirect argument is that Isaac Newton saw an apple falling from a tree and landing on the ground. This was an observation. After this, he arrived at an inference—that there is a force of gravity on Earth that pulled the apple down. From the apple’s falling, Newton inferred the existence of a force that he could not directly see but whose presence he could infer which had caused the apple to fall—the gravitational force. Finally, he surveyed other relevant data, and it was verified that the
