I admit that As human beings, we can not reach beyond our five sense and can not transcend the boundaries of time and space. Only arrogance that leads us to ignorance to 'philosophical questions of life". I quote CS Lewis, "Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning."
On a battlefield when smart bombs, cruise missiles and shells are falling all around him, and in a foxhole, there is no atheist; on a death row, on a hang man's rope and on the electric chair facing execution, there are no atheists and they all wish that they believed in God and beg for His mercy in the life -hereafter from further punishment.
Atheists might assert that they don’t acknowledge the existence of God, but the view of some Christians and all Muslims is that at some level even a die-hard atheist wishes for God’s presence and His hand around him. The innate but neglected awareness of God typically surfaces in Atheist consciousness only in times of severe hardship, acute illness, incurable disease, mental depression of tired of living.
An atheist looks at a beautiful building and thinks of its' architect, at a painting and thinks of its' painter but when he looks at his beautiful body and its miraculous anatomical, biological and physiological functions, he denies it’s Creator and believes that it evolved at random and by accident. Surrounded by a world of synchronous complexities, we as mankind cannot even assemble the wing of a gnat. And yet the entire the Universe exists in a perfect order obeying laws of physics.
Look at the eye which is similar to a camera but far more advanced in the way it takes flawless pictures in hundreds of a second, focussing from short to long distances, has its own light and moisture controls and can take 800,000 picture a day without costing a penny. I can go on the marvels of other parts of the body equally miraculous, fascinating and par-excellent and wonders of billions of cells that compose the body with diverse functions.
No doubt, the day of greatest affliction will be the Day of Judgement, and a person would be unfortunate to be in the position of acknowledging the existence of God for the first time on that day. The English poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, spoke of the irony of the distressed human appeal in The Cry of the Human:” And lips say “God be pitiful.” I believe that after we die, we will find out if there is a God. There is also a Moral Argument for believing in God.
"Soon we will show them our signs in the (farthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things?" [Al-Quran 41:53]
As a computer functions according to its programme put in by the programmer and can not do anything outside its memory so does that everything living or non-living from very insignificant to highly significant and to the microscopic cell to the vastest galaxy in the universe that exists in the universe functions and follows the rules as put in by the 'Programmer, we call Allah.
Man’s duty is to discover what is in the universe and use it for the good of mankind.
