God is Incomprehensible!

“DAWKINS: There could be something incredibly grand and incomprehensible and beyond our present understanding.

COLLINS: That's God
DAWKINS: Yes. But it could be any of a billion Gods. It could be God of the Martians or of the inhabitants of Alpha Centauri. The chance of its being a particular God, Yahweh, the God of Jesus, is vanishingly small--at the least, the onus is on you to demonstrate why you think that's the case.” ('God vs. Science - A debate between Richard Dawkins and Francis Collins' by TIME Magazine - RichardDawkins.net Miscellaneous by Richard Dawkins, Francis Collins) #evolutionphilosophy

I have been driving myself crazy over the last few days reading and listening to debates of scientists, theologians, agnostics and atheists. It has been a treat as my faith and belief has strengthened listening to the arguments of the famous agnostics and atheist. I have been thrilled how the great atheists have not been able to deny the existence of God. Their rejection seems to be directed towards the institution of religion rather than the existence of a supernatural being. I mean any sane person in their sanity would deny the institution of religion which is mostly hypocritical and manipulative.  Russell (1927) stated that Christians do not believe in their own teachings when he quoted from the Bible “thou shall not judge”. Having said that, I would conclude my argument based on Lord Russell’s statement that the idea seems to be against the institution of religion NOT God. The argument based on the denial of the teaching of theology to most agnostics and atheists relies on the promotion of control and manipulation of people by the institution of religion. Otherwise, the Biblical relationship if studied carefully indicates a unique and profound communication with all the men of God differently at various eras not in a typical or formula manner.

Moreover, God’s presence can be studied from examining the famous mushroom psilocybin.  Griffith (2006) investigated the effects of psilocybin on mystical-type experiences such as sustained spiritual significance and personal meaning. The results of experiencing spiritual meaning and significance were identical to the natural occurring experience of mysticism that many spiritual/religious believers and mystics have described and experienced throughout the ages.

Additionally, Dr. Collins in his debate with Dawkins stated that if we believe in a God outside of nature, then we should be able to believe in His inconsistent choice of consistently choosing to violate his natural laws to prove a point to His beings. “If God made the natural laws, why could he not violate them when it was a particularly significant moment for him to do so? And if you accept the idea that Christ was also divine, which I do, then his Resurrection is not in itself a great logical leap.” ('God vs. Science - A debate between Richard Dawkins and Francis Collins' by TIME Magazine - RichardDawkins.net Miscellaneous by Richard Dawkins, Francis Collins) #evolutionphilosophy 

By the  above statement, I would conclude that if we do not understand the incomprehensible God then that is our incompetency not His problem.  Moreover, we should be investigating and collecting data and base our logic on both natural and supernatural evidence to accept or reject any hypothesis about God.

Furthermore, we (atheists, agnostics and theist) all should focus on encouraging people to be bold and adventurous without causing problems to our fellow human beings, rather than trying to intimidate them. I feel that all atheist and theist are standing to prove their opponents wrong, rather than stating what they believe in and  leaving it to the others to accept or reject it, and move on!

Bertrand Russell well stated, “We shall not create a good world by trying to make men tame and timid, but by encouraging them to be bold and adventurous and fearless except in inflicting injuries upon their fellow-men.”
