GOD IS IN THE DETAILS

GOD IS IN THE DETAILS….

Who is GOD???? Theists believe that god is the omnipotent and supernatural being who creates and controls everything. Rational people like us find this hard to believe as the theory has no credibility, no proof and no logic to it….

My theory of god differs from the traditional one; it’s based on the COMPLEXITY THEORY... The complexity theory states that “Every object in existence living or non-living moves relentlessly in the direction that makes it better, superior and hence complex”.
We all know Darwin’s “anti-god” theory of evolution and natural selection, it says that the animal better adapted (read mutation) to the environment becomes dominant while the ones not competent enough become extinct. Man has become dominant due to a number of mutations in our most primitive DNA. Mutations occur when DNA components (known as base pairs) undergo some sort of change and are considered a random process.

I believe that natural selection is in itself an unbelievable theory…. Wanna know why? The probability of the right mutation (one that helps us adapt better to the environment) to occur is 1 in 3 billion. Yet these changes took place and they did so more than once and almost always in our favour… weird and unbelievable right???

If we analyze the nature of evolution, there’s a pattern to it. We have evolved from simple to complex. Life on earth started with a unicellular organism and a few elements, now earth is home to millions of species and hundreds of elements, earth itself seems to seek complexity and is continuously attaining it. This path of complexity is followed by living and non-living things. For example, the various components of earth (lithosphere, atmosphere etc.) have a highly complex, cross-linked and interdependent relationship than at the time of the planet’s creation some 4 billion years ago.

Taking the “complexity theory” to the next level, the universe also seems to obey this theory. According to the big bang theory, the universe was a cloud of dust at first, then stars, planets, asteroid etc. came into existence, then came galaxies. These galaxies are constantly moving away from each other (scientific fact) hence establishing amore risk-free, self-contained and regulated galaxy, again the universe itself is getting complex.

The next thing I would like to analyze is “WHERE IS THIS COMPLEXITY TAKING US??”. It makes us better and is always in the process right?? So hypothetically at some point in the future we would reach a point when we would have evolved to be PERFECT. By perfection, I mean we have CONTROL OVER EVERYTHING (in human context our lives are as we want it, in universal context the galaxy exists as a perfect system) DÉJÀ VU??? (Go back to line 2 of this entry) The above statement comes very close to the concept of god doesn’t it??

My theory of GOD is that everything is moving in one direction, in a direction to achieve complexity, the destination of this direction is GOD. God is a phenomenon everything moves towards and tries to attain and hence by this definition the destination (GOD) exercises control over everything, bringing it all towards itself.

So I think the devil is not in the details but god is in the details. God is an undiscovered phenomenon we are aware of like gravity before it was discovered. Before Newton we all knew that something held us down, something made everything fall down, we just didn’t know what till Newton got hit by an apple and gave it a name GRAVITY. I am sure that one day we will have scientific proof for GOD. So all you atheists out there brace yourselves for that day……

Hey everyone……..
I am Sri Durgha Murugesan ( Durgha for short). In this first entry I wuld like to say a few things about my self, so I will start by telling you why I have decided to write this blog:
· Firstly I feel that I must try my hand at blogging for however short a spell (hope it lasts!!).
· Writing for this blog has made me introspect and I hope this will help me mold my uncertain image of myself into a solid figure.
· Also, I suck at writing (Yeah! That’s true, run while you still can), hoping to improve.
· Most importantly, I’ve just finished my B.tech and at home so I am REALLY REALLY bored!!! (Sastrites 04-08 – u guys know exactly what I’m talking about don’t you???)
Well let’s start from where it all began; I was born on the 22nd of January to an exultant couple after six years of their marriage and after being told that their chance of bearing a child was low. I was loved in excess as can be clearly seen by my appearance….. My parents still think of me as a gifted, strong, independent and unique child (talk about heights of delusion!!!), I really don’t know if my parents saw all that in me when I was born or whether they schemed n brought me up with that notion (no clue), but it is because of that mental image I am what I am today confident, strong and independent (I didn’t yet score that unique identity).

I am a passionate person, I feel strongly about certain issues, for example, I carry garbage that I generate in my bag till I find a dust bin (idea courtesy : Lavanya and Neha). I love the people in my life, those few people ( Savind, Priya, Neha and how could I forget Asma) mean a lot to me and I’d do anything to keep them out of harm’s way. I love dance, it has and will always be a huge part of my life from the 4th grade to the 10th when I gave non-stop performances and even now when I don’t it consumes my time, thought and energy. I’m always thinking of dance themes, tracks, how did he/she do that step, how to improvise on it, when music is pounding around me I feel the tune in me and my body responds automatically, I constantly fight the urge to get up and dance and am a dance critic as well. I cannot imagine my life without dance, my taste in music is based on dance, I listen to dance tracks most of the time n when I take a break from that I like rock and a few select songs.

True to my sun sign (Aquarius) element, AIR, I wander in everything; I have varied interests and easily befriend different kinds of people. My mind has 2 tracks a main track and a side one (even when I’m talking to you I’m thinking of something else side by side). I cannot stay rooted to one spot or person (I spend more time with people I love of course, but I cannot spend 24X7 with them I’d go mad) (one exception to this rule though), I may not be in touch with everyone regularly but I can pick it up with u right where we left it off.

I like people who are genuine and have no ulterior motives when talking to me. I love hanging out and eating with people who enjoy food, I find nothing more pure than being true to our most primitive need. I hate people who are two-faced and play dirty politics….. hey If u wanna do that make it big and become a politician but if you do that in school, college or at work, it disgusts me and in my opinion there is nothing lower than unnecessary politics.
My dream is not a big one, I hope to be in a job where my contributions are significant, I hope to be an asset wherever I go. I want to have a great family and the money to live life comfortably. Well that’s me in a nutshell, those who know me well enough pl do correct me if I am wrong (mail me!!!) and the others please do post your comments. Through this blog I’d like to share some of my “MUSINGS”, thoughts, theories, opinions and experiences. it’s been a refreshing exercise writing this entry and I’d like to thank all of you for your time it means a lot to me……..
