Is God really the answer, or just a refusal to admit we don't know?

Answer 1

God is the center of all our doings and He knows Everything in the Universe. Indeed He is the Answer. That is what i believe.

Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

Answer 2

I wouldn't say God was exactly the answer, because if God exists it's still valid to ask moral questions unless good is actually essentially the will of God, which many people have believed. The idea that God is a way of filling in gaps in knowledge has also been quite popular. Most theologians nowadays don't accept it though, because it suggests the idea of God is constantly retreating before advancing scientific theory, and there's a good chance it could explain everything currently attributed to God away at some point.

I personally think that human understanding of the Universe is always limited. There doesn't seem to be any reason for being exactly right about the nature of reality. Other species' perception of the world is limited in various ways, for instance, many mammals can't see the colour red at all, and so forth, and it makes sense to me that our own intellect is similarly limited. Given that, we can only have useful working models of the Universe, not the truth. As a result, any theory of everything will include uncertainty, in the case of contemporary physics, quantum theory. A different set of physical theories might not have the uncertainty in that area, but would have it somewhere else. This is because what we can conceive does not match the Universe perfectly and never can. I also think the "God of the gaps" will actually crop up in new areas all the time, for example in the notion of strange attractors, and there can never be a perfect conceptual map of reality.

Given that, the concept of God itself is also bound to be inaccurate, so in that sense, yes, you're right, we just don't know. There is an answer, but we can only surmise that it exists and we can't understand it.

Answer 3

It is the answer. First one has to undretand that -We are not this material body, IE; Race, color, nationality, Religion, mind, intellect, senses, job, etc. We are all eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. We never die, only this mortal body dies.
This material world is not our real home, it is called Maya (illusion) and is temporary and full of misery, only one fourth of the souls come here, and the rest are enjoying blissful eternal loving relationships with our Maker named above. We fell here due to envying Gods position. He made the material world for those who want to try to live separately from Him (Which is impossible because He is actually everywhere). After many lifetimes of trying to be happy in this temporary world one becomes frustrated and board and begins to question their existence. We then seek out real happiness, and when one becomes sincere God reveals how to come back Home. Those who are intelligent, take up the process of self realization (Bhakti Yoga) which begins with the chanting of the Maha Mantra (the great mantra for deliverance from all suffering and illusion), which gives one real peace, happiness and reality. Then at the end of life they can give up all material attachments and fully surrender to God and return to the eternal Kingdom, where there is no more birth, death, old age, or disease and be eternally happy. But who will do it. They will go on suffering in their mental speculation.

Answer 4

Not only that we don't know, but also that we can't bear the idea that it is as it seems - a vast, terribly powerful, unattended, randomness full of lethal threats whizzing around, including death, in which we live.

Answer 5

God is not the correct answer to all questions. God is responsible for observing the future, we are responsible for seeing that we get there.

Answer 6

Both

Answer 7

Good one. What you said plus the impulse to transfer responsibility.

Answer 8

God is in the gaps of our knowledge.
Which means heaven is ignorance.
And of course Ignorance is bliss.

Answer 9

God is infinity. We cannot comprehend it. Therefore, we do not 'know' it. I personally feel we are not evolved enough to understand God.

Answer 10

Both..depends on the person!
