The Path to God

checks that maintain the balance in our world. If this were not so, our earth would have become uninhabitable for mankind. (See Man Does not Stand Alone by Cressy Morrison). The planet earth is a unique exception in the Universe because of its rare qualities and attributes. All the numerous celestial bodies in the Universe are either huge fiery stars or rocky planets, with the sole exception of the earth, which has life and its accompanying support elements. This exception itself is a proof of God’s existence. Every exception necessarily requires an answer to the question: Who or what is the cause of this exception? Without believing in ‘cause and effect’, you cannot explain why there is an exception. And this unique exception in the case of the earth is proof enough that God exists. In conclusion, I would like to say that in such a situation the choice we have is not between the universe with God, and the universe without God. This is not an option. The real option is between the universe with God or no universe at all. As we cannot opt for the proposition “the Universe without God” we are compelled to opt for the proposition, “the Universe with God.” Man Does Not Stand Alone Julian Huxley, (1887-1975) the well-known British writer, did not believe in God. He believed that man did not need God, a concept explained in his aptly titled book: Man Stands Alone. It is noteworthy that a reputed American scientist, Cressy Morrison, countered Huxley’s thesis with a book titled: Man Does Not Stand Alone (1944).
