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……
