About God's Existence


The question about God's existence, is an old one, and the path of it's debate probably worn out to the core; nonetheless, it is still an unanswered question, and still divides people in basically two main groups:

The 'No' Group

Those who answer 'no' to this question, usually fall into the reductionist/ empiricist group; those who say: if he existed (note they always 'existed', not 'exists'), why has he never shown himself, or they will say: prove it! A member of the 'yes' group will usually retaliate and ask: who created the universe (note, they use 'who', and not 'what'), and with triumphant smiles, the 'no' group answers that the universe came into existence by 'chance'.
Now, this 'chance' is a word applied to an interesting concept [all people's arguments are based on concepts in their minds; concepts that have been based on observation of our universe; almost like very strong opinions, as many of these 'proven' concepts, usually get challenged later in time]. Chance is nothing more, than a probability engine, this probability engine based on fractals, thus 'chaos theory'. Ironically, our universe is a fractal machine. Notice how everything you look at, is fractal: cardiovascular patterns, river deltas, trees, snowflakes, mountain ranges, lightning...all fractals; patterns within ever present patterns, ever similar, but never the same. It is this fractal machine, using vibrating M-Branes to shape fermions and bosons, shaping matter and energy, which in turn, shape this space-time 'reality' we call the universe. It is this very fractal machine, that creates life through a process (used by empiricists in their anti-God arguments) called Darwinism. But Darwinism is only the observation of the fractal machine's automated work.

Now, how did this fractal engine - which 'creates' ever similar patterns, thus everything we know, including ourselves - come into existence? To say that it came into existence by chance, is a conundrum. This suggests that another external or internal probability engine created this one we're finding ourselves in. How many of these are there then, and what 'made' them?
This to my mind, leaves a large gap in the 'No' argument. A further irony, is that the 'No' group, usually talks about the Western notion of God in arguments, and uses the literate words of the Creation Myth in one book, to point a finger at believers and say: this makes no sense if you look at the evidence of evolution. But how can these clever men and women of science not see that the Bible (and all other Holy Scriptures) are Mythical writings? How can they fail to see the metaphor for something that goes far deeper than the story of creation? Surely, they must be clever enough to understand the golden thread of comparative mythology, showing the one Monomyth of life?

This onesided and almost deliberate blind eye to the monomythical concept as well as not thinking beyond the automated fractal machine, limits their evolution as human beings severely. It simply places them in the opposite corner, rendering them team 'no' in the battle of ignorance.

The 'Yes' Group

The 'yessers', fall into a very wide category: from fundamentalist religious madmen (of all religions) to enlightened & open-minded scientists and mystics. Last mentioned, usually never try and prove the existence or non-existence of God; they simply enjoy 'being'. It is usually the fundamental groups that go slightly to severely berserk if the notion of the Existence of God is challenged. But to these, one must ask: why is it only your god that is the right god? Why do Christians, Jews and Muslims fight bloody wars, if they all believe in the God of Abraham, and essentially use the same Kabbalistic scriptures of the Torah? Come to think of it, why do Christian sections fight amongst each other? Does it really matter whether Christ was man or god? Isn't his teachings more important than he himself as he tried to teach his followers? Can't we see that all religions are based on the same stories all over the world; based on the monomyth of life? Can't we see that 'God', is the metaphor for the force we can never fully understand, the force that 'breathes life' into the fractal engine we call the universe?

Why are we all so deliberately blind to the obvious; so keen on creating melodramatic scenes, categorizing ourselves into groups in the corners, willing to fight to the death for our ignorant pop-dramas? Is it maybe because we ourselves, are falling prey to the monomyth: being the heroes and villains of the fractal engine, toying with us like puppets on strings?
Maybe this is the meaning of life...to escape this automated fractal pattern of being clever primates, falling for the primate gene programming to choose sides, and fight for prey/ female/ land?

Maybe the time has come for some, to realise this and escape from the monkey-in-suit syndrome, and evolve into a higher being; a being en search for the origin of All?
