Is there a G-d?? So, Why???

Knowledge is Power -- G-dly Knowledge is Super Power.

Many of us look around and wonder. If there is a G-d, a definitive force that is just, perfect, and wise, as the cause and reason for everything, why does so many things appear to be so very unfair.

Why do so many innocent people have it so very difficult and others seem to be born into it, everything on a silver platter. Why do some people who are pious, struggle so much and everything seems to go sour for them and others just naturally have it easy, as if they were blessed with the Midas touch?

As intellectual beings, so G-d created us, we naturally seek to make sense and get a grip of our lots in life.

The first response to this query is that unfortunately many people don’t see life through these lens and mostly use this question as an excuse for personal spiritual and religious weaknesses. They are convinced that ultimately a person is in charge of his own destiny. Don’t put G-d into the equation where He doesn’t belong! Be smart, work hard, and life isn’t always fair. Also, along the way, make sure you don’t get caught by the bigger fish in the pond.

I am not addressing these types who have a deeply mistaken concept of the universe and life.

As someone who appreciates the logical conclusion, there must be a G-d, just take one look at the world, our question has some very solid and powerful basis to it.

On the one hand it would be foolish to believe the almost infinite details of our existence in total harmony and orchestrated precision coming together by any other explanation, but an equally infinite wise force, G-d.

Take one look at the beautiful colors of a bird or an animal replicating itself again and again. Where does this science and precise control of the atoms and molecules come from? Take a look at a small seed placed in the earth and out of this tiny seed a huge tree with color and fruit and seeds to replicate itself come from. By chance? Impossible.

Take one look at the trillion cells in one human body each cell, a factory unto itself which operates more precise than a 120-person orchestra, in sync with every other cell of the body, is all of that random and by chance?? Happening in 7 billion people???!!!

Look at the precision of the planets and the sun. If only a few miles north or south, it would destroy the earth! And, consider the idea itself of having a sun to give us light, warmth, and all the Vitamin D etc. that comes from the sun. All by chance? Add all of that together and the thousands and thousands of other factors that we depend on every millisecond of our existence, in precise orchestration. By chance?? All of it random?? Senseless??

Any reasonable thinking person must come to the conclusion there is a G-d, especially that He revealed Himself to the ENTIRE Jewish nation as recorded in the Bible.

With these thoughts in mind, the question becomes all the more powerful. How then does G-d mess it up in MY life, or the life of people I know personally?

Our sages tell us the question of a wise man is already half the answer.

Once we acknowledge and strengthen our personal awareness and knowledge in G-d the creator of the universe, we can also understand He is impossible to ever totally comprehend.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts says G-d. ““No one can see me and live”.

Over the years our great Holy giants like the Baal Shem Tov, whose task it is to open a small window to G-ds wisdom and operations behind the scenes, for us small minds with narrower vision, has shown us the cause and the goal for certain tragedies and misfortunes.

The Talmud tells us the story of the good and hospitable widow who had her only source of livelihood her cow, killed by Elijah the prophet, only to save her only son. Or the rooster, donkey and candle of Rabbi Akiva who was treated badly by the inhospitable people of that city, and these objects were lost to him at night only to be saved from the passing robbers.

Once we are comfortable with the qualifications of a Doctor or of any professional, we accept the limitations of our own knowledge not having gone to school to become a Doctor, and accept the personal testimony of those who have personal experience with the Doctor even when our own prescription, isn’t always easy to accept and or swallow.

The Torah tells us; G-d intentionally places these incomprehensible occurrences before us. This IS PART OF THE PLAN! G-d wants us to struggle with the question so we come to the conclusion, we are finite and it is G-d who is infinite. The questions are there, for us to overcome and become wiser and emotionally stronger as a result.
