The Concept of God
The Concept of God
~ 11 ~
Now let us talk of scientific knowledge. Scientific
knowledge provides an academic verification of this
concept of the one God. It affirms that God cannot
be more than one, the concept of many gods not
being understandable to a scientist.
The world discovered by science is a wholly unified
world. All the parts of the present world are so
interlinked with each other that it is impossible to
separate them from one another. In such a world
the concept of more than one God is quite alien. For
instance, if the sun, the air, water, human beings
and the earth had not been governed by one and the
same Creator, a world of the present kind would
never have come into existence. For instance, if the
sunshine reached the earth unhampered, without
there being the atmosphere to neutralize its harmful
rays, the sun would be a killer instead of a source of
life. If the gases in water were not in their present
proportions, no living organisms could ever have
come into being on the earth. If the size of the earth
were half or double the present size, in either case
civilization on earth would have been well nigh
impossible.
