The Five Senses:
The available options for us are the following: Whether we see it, touch it, taste it, hear it, or smell it.
Example:
If you see a table next to you, then it exists, if you ignore it and didn’t believe that it exists and walk across you will fall on your face for sure …
But the blind will not see, we will tell him touch it, then it exists for him for sure …
If you can hear your son “without any mean” talking or singing in a second room, then he exists, he is in the house..
if we can smell something burning, then fire exists and in your house, and you can’t ignore it otherwise you will burn..
But this is not enough !!!!
The sun exists, but the blind can’t see it, but it exists so how we can convince him that it does exist?
The 6th sense:
The only comprehensible answer for a blind to know the SUN is: to say to him feel it, whenever you feel warm then the sun had risen and its day time, when you don’t feel it, then it’s night.
2nd example:
When we teach a small child about temperature, we show him the following test..
Take 2 similar cups and put a cold water in one of them and hot water in the other..
From outside they are the same:
Same look, same smell, same taste, same touch (the water), both no sound, what we will say put your finger inside and what you will feel?? One cold and one hot, which means warmness and coldness both exist too.
3rd example:
When see a sick boy, he is the same like any other one, but he is in pain, we can’t say you are not sick you look like the others, he will say but I feel it, then “sickness” exists….
And if you touch his wound, he screams, then “pain” exists too..
Let’s make it more difficult:
The 7th sense:
If something that you can’t see it, or taste it, or smell it, or touch it, or feel it, or hear it but it does exist, what shall we do to know if it exists or not?
Example:
“Electricity”, a current of 1 volt or 1000 volt passing in an uncovered wire, then does electricity exist or not? How you will know?
If it’s 1 volt, and since you can’t see electricity and if you touch, taste, smell, hear, or feel it, you will not feel anything, then for you the electricity doesn’t exist in the wire, but actually it does.
If it’s 1000 volt, just touching and get the spark then you will know that it exists..
But if it’s 100,000 volt, even if you touch it, you will not have time to know, because you will be already dead…
So, how we will know if electricity exists in this wire, if the 6 senses don’t work in such case, we go to the 7 senses, it’s “effect” …
Then what you will do?
You bring a voltmeter and measure the volt and see it’s 1, 100, or 1000 volt then you are convinced that there is electricity.
2nd example:
“The mind”, we see the head of a human being, but we don’t see, touch, hear, taste, smell, or feel his mind, so does the mind exist or not ??
Of course yes, because of its effect, it controls the whole body and it’s what makes us “rational human being”.
3rd example:
“The light”, we can’t see a light (photons waves) passing next to our eyes, of course we can’t touch it, hear it, smell it, feel it (close your eyes and someone light on you, will not feel it), how we know it exits then?
It will be its effect, when it reflects inside your eyes, and convert into pulses going to your brain so that you can see more clearly, and this what is called sight.
But here we have a serious problem ?!
A blind can’t see light, touch it, feel it, smell it, taste it, or test its effect, he has no sight, therefore for a blind the light doesn’t exist ever !!!!
But this is certainly wrong, of course because it really exists, then how we can convince him?
The 8th sense:
The only thing that we can do in such case is to use the 8th sense, which is: The Authentic Information!!
What does this mean?
Means, if the blind asks a friend who is honest and good, if there is a light, and told him yes, then it’s true, there is a light…
2nd example:
If a security agency told you and you are working in UN office in Baghdad or Kabul, don’t take this road there is an ambush there waiting you, they may kidnap you or kill you..
You will not say, that I don’t see it, hear it, touch it, taste it, smell it, feel it, see its effect in front of me, then there is no ambush there, because if you do that, you may not return back home safely and maybe never ..
So, since you trust who carried this information, then it’s an authentic information for you, then it’s true, and a danger or risk really exist in that road..
3rd example:
If ministry of health in your country, announced for all don’t go to a certain region in your area, there is a new dangerous unknown disease that is killing lot of people, don’t even think to go there and you have to be very far that area by a certain distance …
Will you say that I don’t taste, see, touch, hear, smell, feel, I don’t even see its effect, then it doesn’t exist, then if you go to the contaminated area, and you will die…
So, you use the 8th sense and since the ministry of health is authentic source for you, then the information is correct, and the disease does really exist..
Additional power for this sense, is the multiplication of authentic resources, means:
If you hear it from 2 resources: ministry of health and from press, then it exists.
If you hear it from: ministry, press, neighbor or had someone there and died because of that: then it’s certainly exist.
Combination of senses:
Now, if we can combine more than 1 sense will this confirm more?
Obviously, the answer is yes.
If you can smell coffee, touch it and taste it, then it exists..
If you can hear the bill of church and see it, then it really exists…
If you see the effect of the disease on TV showing the people dying, plus health care report, then it really exists..
So adding more than one sense, 2 or 3 about something, it will confirm more that it really exists..
Now, our GOD:
1- Can we see him, or touch, or taste, or hear, or smell him??
The answer is definitely NO !!
2- But, can we see his effect:
Of course YES:
In all the things that we don’t do or know who do it in the whole universe, and we don’t know who is doing it and WHY, such as:
Universe creation, raining now on this spot not on that spot, why this year more raining than the previous or less, why the earthquake happens now, why on this spot, why this time, why that much, why now the volcano erupted, why this city was destroyed in such hurricanes, why now, why not always, why not the other, why he was born here, why he looks like that, why for those parents, why he will be engineer, or doctor, why he will marry on this time, why this woman, why he will live here for sometime then move to other, why this is rich, why this poor, why he was rich, then poor, why this smart, this not, why this strong, this weak, why he is poor then rich, why he is good man and then bad man in jail, why they have children, why they only boys, or only girls, or boys and girls, why they don’t have any, why they dye now, why they dye like that, why did he die only in such accident, and why they all die, why he died there, why…….
All these are his work only, and by his decision, and by his wisdom, all these are GOD’s work.
So, the answer of “does we see his effect?”, the answer is definitely YES, this is the first sense.
3- But, did we get an authentic information from authentic person or persons that he exists:
The answer is definitely: YES
All prophets mentioned in all world scriptures: Like Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Mosses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Jonah, John, Jesus and others a lot around the world that we don’t know, tell finally Muhammad, peace upon them all, they were the most and highly honest, trustful, authentic and beloved persons and respected persons among their people, even before being prophets.
They all said that God does exist, as example:
In Old Testament:
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord" [The Bible, Deut 6:4]
"I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me." [The Bible, Isaiah 46:9]
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor see them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God…" [The Bible, Exodus 20:3-5]
And, in the Bible:
"And behold, one came and said unto him, ‘Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?’
And he said unto him, ‘Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.’ "[Mathew 19:16-17]
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. [Mark 12: 29-34]
In the Quran:
Say: He is Allah, the One! (1) Allah, the eternally Besought of all! (2) He begetteth not nor was begotten. (3) And there is none comparable unto Him. (4) [112: 1-4]
The same is also mentioned about God in the scriptures of: Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism, you can refer to the below resource for more information.
In conclusion:
Finally, I will take the gift that you gave to me in your answers that 90% you feel it or other people feel it but it’s not evidence and from the first phrase of nelson’s words only:
“someone feels that something exists, regardless of why they feel that thing exists, isn't evidence that it exists in fact “
Then, we have 3 senses:
The effect + The authentic information x multiple resources + The feeling = this implies that
God really exists.
O mankind! Be afraid of your Lord (by keeping your duty to Him and avoiding all evil), and fear a Day when no father can avail aught for his son, nor a son avail aught for his father.
Verily, the Promise of Allâh is true, let not then this (worldly) present life deceive you, nor let the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allâh. (33)
Verily, Allâh! With Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour,
He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs.
No person knows what he will earn tomorrow,
and no person knows in what land he will die.
Verily, Allâh is All¬Knower, All¬Aware (of things).
(31:34)
