Whenever I get together with my friends for lunch or dinner, or just hang around in the streets of downtown, we always end up in discussions. Some of my friends are atheists and agnostics. So, naturally we include the topic of religion and God into our discussion. However, the emphasis is always on one thing, logic. “How do you prove the existence of God logically?” is always the billion dollar question of the night.
What is Logic? Why is everybody after it? Well, we call everything that satisfies our mind as logic. So, the limit of logic is set by us. In that respect, how can we accept anything that is outside the logic. We simply can’t, because the definition is recursive. It doesn’t have a solid ground. How can a man walk on the moon? If you had asked this question a century earlier, you wouldn’t be able to get an answer. It just seemed illogical to everyone to beat gravity to enter space. Now that we have understood everything, it has become part of logic. This thing we call logic is biased towards the known, making it unfair for all the things that are still unknown to us but do exist.
Why do we keep on arguing about the existence of God. Our existence can’t be a natural phenomenon; otherwise it would have been possible to create things out of emptiness. Even though i don't like the concept of logic, but since everyone is in favor of it, so let me prove the existence of God through logic.
Everything is made of matter
Matter can neither be created nor destroyed
These two universal truths lead us to the conclusion that there is some source of power that can create matter and destroy it (otherwise matter in this world would keep on increasing). We religious people believe that that source is infinite and call it God. In the Quran, God calls Himself by the name Allah. Since Allah is a proper noun so calling God, Allah should not be limited to Muslims, rather everyone should call Him by that name.
