I was
just wondering if god exists. Or rather, whatever was the train of thought that
followed can be related to a very simple question 'Does god exist?'. I mean it
is one of the questions which can have the train of thought that I had to find
a solution. There can be many, but I haven't thought of others.
There are two things that one would say when asked a question 'Does god exist?
- Yes he does
- No he does not
Let us consider the first case
which is kind of trivial. The triviality can be addressed by people who are
reading this post themselves. If I see so many things on this planet and there
exists certain relation between these 'many' things. Effectively we see things
here. As said before, there is some relation between these things, which I am
not able to define satisfactorily. But then, as there exists a relation between
things, and by our understanding of time and other dimensions alone, there must
have been things before these which lead to the things that exist now. Hence,
there have been things before the ones that we are seeing now.
Now for those things to exist, there must have been things before them, so on and so forth. This is an infinite loop, and when we want to see the limit. There must have been 'something' that sprang up everything. That something itself is god.
There by the first case stands true.
Now coming to second case, we say 'God does not exist'. In which case, there must be 'nothing'. So if there exists nothing we can say god does not exist. But for that 'nothing' to exist, there must be 'something' that defines that 'nothing'.
Again we have two train of thoughts:

Again we have two train of thoughts:
- I mean, for there to be
nothing inside you, you need to be there. Similarly 'nothing' to exist
beyond you, your existence is essential. Hence you are that something
which exists.
- Similarly, for 'nothing' to
exist, there has to be 'something' previous in line with it which was
'nothing'. This again ends up as an infinite loop.
Here the
first case we considered an individual and proved that something always exists,
and in the second case we considered the infinite loop. Hence we proved that
'something' has to always exist. But the result of the thought process is a
contradiction with respect to the assumption. Hence, the assumption is wrong.
In which case, god does not 'not exist'. Hence we come to a conclusion that god
exists even in the second train of thought.
Hence god does exist.
P.S.: There can be flaws in the theory proposed above. I do not say that it is flawless. I hope that with better realization of things around me, I will someday be able to tell whether god exists or not, and if I am able to do that it would clearly mean that god does exist.
