Answer 1

Human brain has inherent capacity to cognize the whole of the universe. but it is difficult to actualize the total potential of the brain because it has to be actuivated with self effort. the people who maximize the total potential of human brain understand that what is within is also what is without, hence the respect for inside world, the statement the kingdom of god is with in you because you get all the answers when you look in. The notion of god is that he knows all the answers, since you find all the answers inside, you will start respecting inside of your personality or else you make a temple inside. The same people also see the answers outside too hence, respect outer creation because they find solutions in outerworld too. They say without is also a temple. but lower people can't cognize god but they can understand the glimpse of god with the help of outer world, bit by bit. God revelation is an evolutionary process but it is certain too every one to understand because he has resourse inside but not able to polish. saint has a past and sinner has a future that means saint has all the answers where as sinner needs answers. God is the repository of solutions. God and solution is one and the same.

Answer 2

Well until the dawn of the civilisation, humans were living like animals with the animals, when the knowledge due to the experience was imperged into the mind, with good and bad experiences, they realised there is something which is out of their control or there is something which controls them, so they started with the GOD called mother Nature. Then when they became a social animal, some wise man would have thought of stream lining or disciplining the entire mass or the group of humans, they created the concept of GOD.
Idea of Heaven and Hell. Due to good and bad experiences in life people realised the actions of their consequences what leads to the idea of Heaven and Hell.

Answer 3

God entered human minds bec. of Nature and its selflessless and the timeliness. Wherever there is regularity and punctuality and no human is regulating it - after all some force is doing its job ? Where and how and who is that force. It is something suoer natural and hence it is above human and above human is God. Who puts small little nerves in a child in the womb ? Who puts small soft nails and soft hair in a newborn baby who is not even born. Who gives voice. Who gives sight and pupil in the eyes. It is God. It is definitely GOD. Things or creatures once created cannot be destroyed. Only the form and features change. Their mortals still remain. Hell and heaven are real. It is the universe itself. It is not a different part. All our actions and deeds are things which remain as residues in the universe. It has immense power to return these in multiples or at least in the same volumes and degrees. They are not illusions. This is where positive and negative energies stem from

Answer 4

Allah has made us all. We all are His creations.
Think of the sky, the Sun, the Stars the Earth and every thing around. us How is it possible to exist and sustain these with out some external control.
We are here only for some years and ultimately we all have to go to Him. We are here because He wants us to be hear and do good deeds. This is an examination hall for all of us and the results will be declared soon on the judgement day. That is for sure and there is no doubt in it.
Can someone save a man from dying. Can some one prevent the rain to fall from the sky? Can some one stop the sun to shine... None except Allah. Where does the man come from and where does he go after death, and why? think of it. We all will be gathered one day and some will be in Hell and some in heaven based on our deeds and teachings of Islam, which no boubt is a true religion.
so do good and know what is good and why is it good.

Answer 5

St. Thomas Aquinas and Aristotle both proved that God exists. They did so by examining the effects - things move, things are caused, etc.

Even a human who has not had God divinely revealed to him can start asking questions about the origin of the world around him. These questions, as they become more sophisticated, will lead to God.

As to what would happen to those who have no experience of God (living happily like animals in the jungles), the Catholic Church teaches that they may be able to go to heaven through following the Natural Law.

Answer 6

When the world started humans were widespread all around the world, completely disconnected from each other. All living in different set of circumstances and conditions oblivious of each others presence. They were forming completly different sets of mannerisms, customs etc. as per the need of the hour. Yet it is surprising that all over the world the common idea of "God" exists in one form or the other. This in itself proves that there exists some divine power, which keeps on giving the sense its presence to all in some form or the other. Had it been only cause of sun, moon, rain, lightening it could not have run so deep into the human soul even uptill now when science has given answers to all these natural causes. Even today at one point or the other in our lives we feel and experience a little something which tells us there is something beyond, something positive, all loving, all giving. The same presence must have been felt by the early humans. So far as Heaven and Hell is concerned....to a great extent both of these places are here with us all the time. If we do something positive, think something positive we feel good...we achieve positive things and happiness. The same goes with the negative. We earn both of them right here as per the equation we choose to follow. We make a small heaven or hell for ourselves here itself. This must have clicked the idea of going to a good or bad place after death as per our demeanour throughtout our life. So far as going somewhere past life is concerned I dont think humans have been able to figure that out as yet convincingly.

Answer 7

Man has been evolving and developing from time to time. Early man who was new to this world needed to understand the world. So he assumed some super-natural being to be controlling the various weather changes, growth of various organisms, etc.
Slowly after man evolved from stone age to age of learning, thinking and making theories, man started to think how God would look. This lead to the presence of idols for God. Also man developed places called heaven and hell where he pre-assumed man to go after he leaves the mortal body. Learned men who had more knowledge developed these places and theories.

Also there is a visualisation that when man knew that concentration plays a main role in development, he rather invented God(in connection to the natural phenomenon) and made less learnt people follow Him and believe in Him to develop.

As for the people who do not know God, they are such people who are ones who treat the nature as their God and live with it just as friends.

Answer 8

i am an atheist in a sense...so i am not sure if you will value my opinion...My hypothesis is that god is the emotion of "hope" in form, humans cannot admit that they are the same as all of the other animals on the earth and simply die. They therefore "hope" that there is something after this,something better. We only hope when we can think with sentience and intellectuality, those people in the jungle you refer to do not know much beyond : 1)hunt for food 2) Protect self and family(tribe) member both of which are pretty much insitinct if humans do have such a thing...Overall i do not really think God as a all-powerful being exists but maybe he is the all the hopes of humanity...on a side note i believe the Devil is all the unhappiness, and dissatisfactions of humanity, Once again humans can not accept their own mistake so the made up something to blame it on....hope nobody gets mad...this is my true opinion which i have told no-one but do not mind sharing on the internet anomynsoly... : )

Answer 9

In the don of civilization man used to live his life as an animal ..... there was no difference in their habbitat , food items & way of collecting food. It is true that there was no concept of GOD at that time. But the ancient man was helpless to the natural calamities like lightening , storm , rain , volcanic erruption , earthquake and so many ....... They were afraid of these as these devastating disasters used to snatch their lives & they didn't know to check it or to save themselves from these.... Gradually their 'afraid' turned to a 'belief' that if they can satisfy their surroundig Nature by any means the nature will save them from these disasters... In this way the ancient man started to worship the nature & the idea of GOD originated.So the first God in human thinking was his surrounding Nature, the super natural power which helps life to prosper..

There's a saying that if a person believes something deeply from his heart he can gain it... So it is very arguable point whether man has visualises the GOD or not .... but according to me GOD is the Super Natural Power , the Nature . nothing else... So I am not with them who claims that they visualised Him... God is the Supreme Creater of Life .

The theory of Heaven & Hell is just bogus.These are only illusions , not real things. How can somebody predict that there's something called Heaven or Hell after Death whereas we lose our sense after death , so how can we know that? Actually the idea of Heaven or hell has come from our own society .... I think it is one of the direct example of 'caste division' .This idea originated at that time when according to our society - rule the High and low caste people could not live side by side ,so people imagined that after Death the social system would be same & the idea of Heaven for the High Caste People & Hell for the Low Caste People originated thus......

Answer 10

Humans created the God not the God created the humans. There were so many good leaders with some stamina. They were leading the people and they followed him Gradually the him or she leaders were made as a god or goddess. Observe the gods costumes and the lifestyles. They all dressed up as the people used to be.

The leaders of these many making Gods created a hell and Heaven to get con troll of other people so that they rule them. The heaven is on the earth in good living and the hell is on the earth in bad living. That's it.

Answer 11

When we are alone. We ask ourselves why, how, and who we are? What is our purpose here? Where did we come from? How did it all began? These questions have so many theoretical answers. But each of those answers create more questions.
I guess, when we reach the nth degree with questions and ever more questions to those answers, we give up. We can only assume that is a higher power or consciousness. I do not know if you can call it God. Maybe its just one big accident.
How do we visualise God? I guess it depends upon the culture or social environment we grow up in. When we think in terms that culture's values, that is how we define what he might be like. Some people begin to think of inanimate objects as having something devine in it. In times of suffering, the picture of God takes the shape of a savior. Maybe a being with a spear or a sword in hand. I think its just what someone thinks at the time of suffering. Also, I guess visualizing God in a cirtain way is convenient.......I have much to learn. Please forgive me if I have said anything I shouldn't have said.
