Interestingly someone asked me a similar question just today riding the bus home from the store. We have more atoms making up our bodies than there are grains of sand on all the beaches of all the world. There are somewhere in the neighborhood of four hundred billion 400,000,000,000 stars in our galaxy. In the known universe somewhere in the neighborhood of 100,000,000,000 galaxies. Each and every of the bodies in all of the known universe as well as perhaps those beyond the light speed barrier are made of atoms. And of course atoms are made of even smaller particles. A googolplex of googolplexs of googolplexs of atoms. That would be a 10 followed by billions of zeros. A number so large that to write it out would require not just one life time but many life times just to write it down. Now consider this. All of these atoms are controlled by only 4 forces. The Strong and weak nuclear forces, electromagnetism and gravity. The grand symmetry of it, is boggling to the mind, and to paraphrase Carl Sagan if I may, if there is no God it would be necessary to invent him just to explain it all.

rleeq, though i did not completely understand what you wanted to conclude. however, the information you have placed remind me of Erich Von Daniken's notion of God.
has anyone read 'Chariots of the Gods'? images as well as the arguments are really very interesting.

I look at the universe and see complexity so dense that I am staggered by it. Something, by the way, not easy to do. Further, In my minds eye, I can see beyond the boundaries of the light speed barrier as it is called in cosmology (some where around 15 billion light years) to the infinity beyond said barrier.
Though I am a person with an imagination sufficient to see these things, I can not imagine giving the creative force behind all of the wonders a name. Not the names "God," Allah, Jehovah, not the 77 unpronounceable names of Judaism, not all the names of Hindu religion can conjure in me the magnitude of that which created "The All." For me, giving a name or description, or even bending in worship seems not nearly enough, by magnitudes beyond my ability to recon. There are no names which do not limit this creative force, there is no love of which I am capable which does not limit that which breathed upon the void and brought into existence all that is.
No religion is great enough to encompass, no belief which does not limit that which is infinite. To be sure...even the words, infinite, eternal, omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient, fail utterly in my mind to conjure that which is so far beyond what those words describe.
In the Tao it says, that which can be named is not the thing. Without all of the inscriptions and descriptions about what this means, that one phrase, in all of its simplicity comes closest and yet even that falls far short.
I use no names and only one phrase...First Source And Center and yes I BELIEVE
And yes I've read Von Daniken, Though it was long ago. I found ans still find his theories very interesting.

thank you rleeq for sharing your views.
i'd like to know something from everybody. what divine experiences have you ever had? from what experiences have you felt the existence of God. do you think you could feel this, even if you wouldn't have been acquainted with the idea of God from the childhood? i somehow believe that most believers believe in god just because they have been habituated with this idea since childhood. they say, god the almighty should be prayed, so i pray. this is the attitude.
