The day they found God

The ever contentious argument which led to numerable wars, politicians, churches, charitable institutions and almost every discernable cause....was finally proved.

All orthodox hard-core worshippers' patience was finally rewarded. All Agnostics were forced to acknowledge their Gnostic and all atheists to forgo their deniance.

It was cold windy day in the end of May when the humans found God...not in their hearts and souls but in a clinical laboratory. Though you couldn't really say "his" because contrary to the male chauvinists and feminists, God was not only beyond sexual orientation...but also beyond race,color,creed and all human incarnations. This Earth shattering experiment was ironically conducted by a mad scientist trying to find a pill to treat sexual frigidity in women.

The aftershocks of this revelation however were prodigious. The new pope called an emergency conclave of all his cardinals. In a sudden show of solidarity, the protestant and catholic priests congregated in secrecy. So did the Brahmins across all castes and the Sunni and Shitte Prophets.

The middleman's job was in grave danger.

The scientific community issued an all-hands-on-the-deck convention too. All the scientific theories had to be re-evaluated...no more black holes...no more anti-matter...no more fermion...no more evolution. People began to wonder whether Einstein was as brilliant as he was touted to be...whether there actually was a unified field theory...did Man ever land on the moon...find a cure for polio or invent the computer.

Rockstars started composing Gospel albums and Goths and Satan worshippers got in touch with their light side.

But the common man was just confused.

It was the first time the onus of proving "the one" fell on the shoulders of scientists. So, far mankind and all its religious followers were able to abide their life by an unscientific belief system. "Prove that your God exists" said Dr. Srithematics. "Look at every thing that moves. It has a cause. That is God. All things that are good,pure and noble in this World" replied rev. John David. "That doesn't prove the existence of God"."Well, can you prove he doesn't exist?" said the Reverend authoritavely. "Damn". Srithematic was left flummoxed. How could he prove a negative.

They say everything is 20/20 in hindsight. So was God. He, sorry It, was right before our eyes. Just like gravity, we felt it most often at times when we were carrying that heavy box or when we were falling off the 3rd floor of a building. But phhttt!!! it then disappeared.....till someone put it's presence as a mathematical formula.

After the mad scientist's revelation, an experiment was conducted in a controlled environment to test this revelation. Very simple but very long. 10 young new borns were raised in a bluehouse. The bluehouse children were not de-sentisized because of their minimal exposure to the real world. Over time, the logs started to show them exhibiting a consistent fear, sometimes awe of certain events. Storms were time where they would hide in their dorms and spring would be time when they would dance in the fields. Eventually they started developing an awe for their fear and fearing their awe. All those mixed emotions became one big cauldron of rituals...literally. They looked to this cauldron for strength when they were frightened and happiness when they were sad. They also started leaving fruits and grain to appease the cauldron.

Meanwhile, the Biologists joined in. They found animals expressing similar awe and fear. Sea gulls would stand by the shore and stare reverently at the sun setting over the undulating waves. Or schools of Whales who would go on a pilgrimage to the shores of Greenland...stare at the lighthouse...often getting stranded and dying on the shoals and rocky sea-beds.

Paleantologists and historian put the last nail in the scientist's coffin. They found evidence of ancient human Gods. Humans, contrary to popular notion, did not evolve believing in Jesus or Brahma or Allah, they worshipped the sun, feared lightning and respected the ocean.

God was a collective manifestation of fear,awe and hence gratitude for being sheiled from the former. He...It had a form.....and its presence could be predicted by a rather complex formulae...a new symbol was created for representation......yjbariash....

People could now pray intelligently, for maximum spirituality and maximum effectiveness. God was finally privatized.

They found if you really prayed hard, and in a certain format.....you could acheive Nirvana. Did we reach a new era...a new mental and spiritual level...just in a matter of few months...without doing anything...

The Holy Men had not given up though....they now embarked on a journey to prove that God did not exist.....starting churches of the Un-God...to be continued
