Did God create us or Did we create God? - Happy Diwali

I came across this question few days back which was posted by my granddad on his facebook wall. And the answer seemed too obvious in the beginning, 'we created God because of our fear of the unexplained' but being a Physics students makes it more complicated.

There are well developed theories about how this universe began and might end. Well the popular one being, of course, the Big Bang Theory which says we all came from the full stop ending this sentence. We might end in a similar fashion as well to contract to the full stop only to start the process all over again. It's like a yo-yo. Well, this means that God is playing yo-yo with us.

Does this really prove that there is/are a/many God(s)? Can this mean that different religions have different Gods pulling the yo-yo of their world? What about Hindus? We have like millions of them. Don't they have a fight amongst themselves for whose turn is it next to pull the yo-yo?

Agreed that this is how the Universe is working but wait, "Who is pulling our Gods' yo-yo?" Now, give it a thought. It is like an infinite dimension where every dimension has its own right to form its own space. And we see only one dimension - our own! But does that mean we are on the lowest possible position in this chain? Don't we get to pull some strings? We definitely do. Human beings are living on this planet or at least in this part of the universe as if its their own. We kill and we rule! We demolish and we create- that makes us Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwar rolled into one. For ants, birds, beasts, we are their GOD!

With the status of GOD, comes great responsibilities! Use is wisely.

P.S. Eating chicken is fair enough as even our Gods eat a hell lot of us everyday!

Happy Diwali Folks!

Unlike in most parts of the country, Diwali for Bengalis mean Kali Puja (Goddess of Death). There are sacrifices
and celebrations late at night. But even Bengalis put fourteen lamps in front of their house to celebrate the
return of Lord Ram to Ayodya from his fourteen year exile.

People worldwide are fond of crackers especially the ones which give a good show. This one's my favorite
I can jump on the fire



Goddess Kali on Shiva. I asked my mother why does the poor man have
a pot belly. She said, 'What else do you expect from a man who just
survives on Ganja (opium) and Chullu (Country liquor)?"
Our search for God will end with finding someone controlling our race. It might not end at all for we might end before our search does. It's not worth fighting for the cause of religion.
