Is There a God
LECTURETTE - IS THERE GOD ?
1. ‘O God, help us to keep ourselves physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight, that in doing our duty to Thee and our country we may keep the honour of the Services untarnished’ …..it is the way we started our life everyday for three very important years of our life, I am just reciting it so as to refresh your memory….and to seek out the first line….”Oh God, help us to”……GOD…who is GOD….what is GOD….is it something that justifies our existence, something that bestows righteousness to our actions, …..that ..’Whom’ for we work….close your eyes gentlemen….take a minute to think about….who, what, when, where and HOW……much like the .the ‘mission statement’…….of NOPP
2. I think everyone here has wrestled with the question, “Is there a God?” And we’ve all encountered a lot of opinions about this subject. Our parents, family and social circle have contributed to our belief and thoughts about God. However, each of us, I am sure has at some time contemplated on whether God exists, as a child may be, when our parents told stories about good and evil, as a teenager may be, when we questioned our parents belief, when we do not follow some tenet of our religion and wait for GOD’s reaction-and so on. The topic evokes a lot of sentiments and I would endevour to steer clear of controversy, with a basic intention of throwing light on some different views.
3. I intend to cover this topic as under:-
(a) Evolution of God. I would try to bring about a sense of evolution in GOD. How ancient people defined GOD and how as man’s understanding improved, GOD evolved.
(b) Attributes. Here I would be covering certain aspects of GOD and his attributes.
(c) Man, Religion and God. In the next section I would delve on the various beliefs of the people and how religions express god.
(d) Science and God. Under this I would try to bring to your notice the various phenomena science cannot explain, which have then been attributed
