Book Description | My friend is a man who loves controversy and loves talking. He believes that we, the naive believers, feed on illusions and laugh at ourselves with heaven and the dialogue of the eye and miss out on the pleasures of this world and its charms.. And my friend on this occasion graduated from France and obtained a doctorate and lived with the hippies and began to deny everything. He said to me sarcastically: -You say: God exists, and the mainstay of your evidence is the law of "causality" which states that every craft has a maker and every creation has a creator and every existence has a creator.. The fabric indicates the weaver and the drawing indicates the painter and the engraving indicates the engraver and the universe according to this logic is the most eloquent evidence of the Almighty God who created it. We believed and believed in this Creator.. Don't we have the right, by the same logic, to ask.. And who created the Creator.. Who created the God you are talking about.. Don't your same arguments lead us to this.. And according to the same law of causality.. What do you think of this trap, may you always be kind? We say to him: Your question is invalid.. and there is no pitfall or need, because you accept that God is the Creator and then you ask who created Him?! So you make Him the Creator and the created in the same sentence, and this is a contradiction. The other aspect of the corruption of the question is that you imagine the Creator being subject to the laws of His creations.. Causality is our law, we are the sons of time and place. God who created time and place is necessarily above time and place, and it is not right for us to imagine Him bound by time and place or by the laws of time and place. God is the one who created the law of causality, so it is not permissible for us to imagine Him subject to the law of causality that He created. With this sophistry, you are like a puppet that moves with its spring and imagines that the man who made it must also move with its spring.. So if we tell it, rather, it moves on its own, it says: It is impossible for something to move on its own.. I see everything in my world moving with its spring, and you likewise do not imagine that God exists by itself without a creator.. simply because you see that everything around you needs a creator. |
