The more I think about that word, the more I realise that it is extraordinarily brilliant—so brilliant that it can be used to answer any unanswered question. Any question, at any time, in any place. Sometimes, so many unanswered questions in your mind can lead you to atheism, especially if you are weak in spirit or lack the faith to search for answers. That’s what almost happened to me myself.
God does not play dice, and likewise, nothing in the universe was created in vain. Just because we do not understand the purpose of the universe’s existence or how it was created does not mean it was made without purpose or meaning. Of course not. Our minds have always been unable to comprehend how God thinks and why it created everything—why it created humans and the universe?
This is the absurd dilemma: the more science advances, the more questions arise, and deep down, you realize there is no answer. All you can do is meditate, think, and try to comprehend, for the evidence is all around, but the minds refuse to believe.
This is the unfortunate truth. Accepting it is maturity and intelligence, while rejecting it is folly and narrow-mindedness. Yet, some prefer to be fools rather than weak human beings. They prefer to accept the laws of probability and chance, forgetting that their existence in this life, their place in this great universe, could never be a coincidence.
And God, indeed, does not play dice.
