The Principle of Pairs A study of the universe reveals that everything here has been created in pairs—pair of negative electric particles with positive electric particles, male and female in the fruit of the tree, male and female in the animals, and man and woman in humans. This is a universal law. Everything here complements itself with its partner. In this sense, human life must have a pair, that is, a perfect life after death must be the pair of an imperfect life before death. Human life has its complementary pair in the theory of the universe with God. In the theory of universe without God, this complementary element does not exist. The Failure of Idealism All philosophers and thinkers have considered the present world to be eternal. Their idea was that in this present world, they would one day create the world they cherish.

For people, the culmination of civilization was realization of this human dream. After the industrial feats, people thought that they would finally reach the destination where they could build their paradise in this present world. However, this idea proved to be completely false.

Further evolution of civilization is not possible here at all. Alvin Toffler’s book, Future Shock, was first published in 1970. Alvin Toffler had predicted that the world is moving from an industrial to a super-industrial age. The next era of civilization will be the era of complete automation. The push-button culture will progress to the In the theory of the universe without God, man is destined that his natural desires will never be fulfilled, but in the theory of the universe with God, man could find the perfect satisfaction of his desires in the post-death stage of life.
