THE EXPLANATION OF MEANINGFULNESS OF THE UNIVERSE

THE EXPLANATION OF MEANINGFULNESS OF THE UNIVERSE Belief in God-ordained Universe A MONG many aspects of the debate over the existence of God, one relates to the meaningfulness of the universe. Belief in God is not only the explanation of the existence of the universe, but belief in God also makes the universe completely meaningful. Disbelief in God means that this universe will have a meaningless end, while believing in God means that the universe will eventually reach a meaningful end. The concept of justice and injustice is innate in man. Man is born with a desire to be rewarded for living his life according to the principles of justice, and to be punished for adopting the method of injustice. This natural urge can find fulfillment if we believe that the universe has been created by God. There is no answer to the fulfillment of this natural requirement in the theory that denies the Creator of the universe. Every human being is born with an ocean of desires within him. In today’s world, fulfillment of these desires is not possible. In the theory of ‘universe without God’, man is destined to have a tragic end and his natural desires will never be fulfilled. But in the theory of ‘universe with God’, there is a possibility that man will find the perfect satisfaction of his desires in the post-death stage of life. The Consciousness of Time The study of human psychology shows that man is a time-conscious creature. His sense of time is divided into the present and the future. However, it is a fact that every man gets to live only in the present. Every man, without exception, dies in despair of an unfulfilled future. He utilizes his present for a better future, but in his limited lifespan, he fails to achieve the better future and leaves this world in despair. An Internet search to find out the names of great people who became depressed in their last years and died in a state of depression leads to quite a lengthy list. One can go to the search engine and see this list under the title ‘Risk factor Depression’. Thus, man’s natural urge can be fulfilled in the theory of universe with God, but there is no answer to this question in the theory of universe without God.
