Theist Vs Atheist

There had always been a debate, on the existence of God. Some believe in God and some seldom or never. Both hold a factor of justice, at least to prove them or defy the opponent’s point of view. But mostly a theist’s statement is based on belief. Whilst an atheist speaks on fact as we call it, Science. All these debates continue to prevail upon on a factor, God, which has never been concluded yet.

Some say, there He is, beyond the 7 Seas, 7 Hills, above the sky and afar the place where any human can reach. He is the declaring authority. He decides and life happens. He is the factor of life. He is the one who creates, saves and destroys. Everything in and on earth relies on him. The universe may stumble upon his words so and so and what not?

Another set of people say, God? Above the Earth? Satellites could not read heavens either. What does it take for God to create, save and destroy? Creation is based on the Evolution Theory. Fact is what the world needs to look into. Science can explain the base of life. It is all done with some theory behind. And that ‘theory’ need not to be God. Man as such is the ultimate.

And the debate Continues….. Continues since ages. Yet no concrete solution on this issue was found. Nevertheless there exists one peculiar (well, if I could call it as) case. They are of the 3rd type, maybe. They say, “I don’t believe in God, since am an atheist but that does not mean God never exist!”

When I wonder about all these people and their statements, I remember a quote from Sir Einstein, “Two things are Infinite. One, the Universe and the other, the Human stupidity. And I am not sure about the Universe.” Yes, the human stupidity is infinite. I don’t think anyone, whom so ever it maybe, a theist or an atheist would have even tried to look upon the fact of the existence of the Unknown God. What plays an important role in here is again something called ‘belief’! The most powerful essence of the Human Caste. An atheist believes on science while theist believes in some eternity. But the real question is “Are we trying to find out an answer for this question?”

Two different views of two different people. Views had been and still continue to be views. Neither a theist nor an atheist is going to attain an ultimate salvation from the cycles of pressures and tensions of life by either believing or disbelieving the Almighty. As said already, they are just views or a step from the base line, which we had been discussing partially, without a correct, confident statement and without an ultimate solution for past hundreds of decades.

Unless and until we start trying to find out the truth behind the screens, I think there is no point in arguing about the Eternity. “To start trying to find out the truth??” What can that be? Well, it literally means, accepting that we don’t know anything about the existence of any God. Think!! An atheist cannot prove the non-existence of God while theist cannot prove the existence of God. That ultimately means both the groups don’t know the fact. When we don’t know the fact, the best thing we can ever do is to accept that we don’t know it. When we are sure that we don’t know the truth, automatically a spirit to find the answer comes up. When that comes ….. “Do you think I have to continue more…? “
