We told you about the curious proofs of the existence of God, presented by various scientists or talented students. Today we decided to tell you more such theories.
1. Euler's formula proving the existence of God
Leonhard Euler (April 15, 1707 - September 18, 1783) was a Swiss mathematician and physicist, one of the first to make important discoveries in the fields of infinitesimal analysis and graph theory. Euler also created much of the modern mathematical terminology and notation, in particular for mathematical analysis, such as the concept of a mathematical function. He is known for his work in mechanics, fluid dynamics, optics and astronomy. He spent most of his adult life in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Berlin, Prussia.
Euler's religious beliefs can be judged from his letter to a German princess and more early work"A Defense of Divine Revelation Against the Objections of Dissenters". These documents show that Euler was a devout Christian who believed that the Bible had a beneficial effect on people.
According to a well-known legend, Euler found arguments for the existence of God when he debated the subject with secular philosophers. At that time he lived in St. Petersburg, and at the same time the French philosopher Denis Diderot was visiting Russia at the invitation of Catherine the Great. The empress was alarmed by the Frenchman's arguments in favor of atheism - they could have a bad effect on her court, so she asked Euler to enter into an argument with Diderot.
Diderot learned that a famous mathematician had found evidence for the existence of God and agreed to take a look at it. Euler at the meeting came close to Diderot and declared the following: "Sir, \frac(a+b^n)(n)=x, therefore, God exists!". The argument seemed to Diderot, who did not understand anything in mathematics, nonsense, so he stood with his mouth open, while the witnesses of this scene were already secretly giggling. Embarrassed, he turned to the Empress with a request to leave Russia, and she allowed him to leave.
2. A mathematician developed God's theorem
Kurt Friedrich Gödel was an Austrian and later American logician, mathematician and philosopher. He, along with Aristotle and Frege, is considered one of the most significant logicians in human history. Gödel made an enormous contribution to the development of scientific and philosophical thinking in the 20th century.
In 1931, when he was 25, Gödel published two incompleteness theorems. A year earlier, he received his doctorate from the University of Vienna. To prove the first theorem, Gödel developed a technique now known as Gödel numbering, which converts formal expressions into natural numbers.
Gödel also proved that neither the axiom of choice nor the continuum hypothesis could be refuted by the accepted axioms of set theory, since those axioms agree. Thanks to this, mathematicians were able to explore the axiom of choice in their proofs. He also made important contributions to proof theory by clarifying the connection between classical logic, intuitionistic logic, and modal logic.
After Gödel's death in 1978, there remained a theory based on the principles of modal logic, a type of formal logic that narrowly involves the use of the expressions "necessarily" and "possibly." The theorem states that God, or the supreme being, is something that we are unable to understand. But God exists in understanding. If God exists in understanding, it can be assumed that he exists in reality. Thus, God must exist.
3. The scientist who sees no conflict between science and religion
During an interview on CNN in April 2007 in Rockville, Maryland, Francis S. Collins, director of the Human Genome Project, once again stated that the information embedded in DNA proves the existence of God.
As a believer, Dr. Collins sees DNA - the molecule that is present in all living things, which contains all the information about the species - as a language, and the elegance and complexity of organs and the rest of nature as a reflection of God's plan.
However, Collins did not always think so. In 1970, when he was a graduate student in the Department of Theoretical Chemistry, he was an atheist and found no reason to postulate the existence of any truths outside of mathematics, physics and chemistry. He then entered medical school and faced the problem of life and death of patients. One of the patients asked him: "What do you believe, doctor?", and Collins began to look for answers.
Collins admitted that science, which he loves so much, is powerless to answer the following questions: “What is the meaning of life?”, “Why am I here?”, “Why does mathematics work this way and not otherwise?”, “If the Universe had a beginning , then who laid the foundation for this?”, “Why are the physical constants of the Universe tuned so finely that the possibility of the emergence of complex life forms is allowed?”, “Where do people get morality?” and “What happens after death?”.
Dr. Collins has always believed that faith is based on purely emotional and irrational arguments. He was therefore astonished when he found in the early writings of the Oxford scholar C. S. Lewis and subsequently in many other sources very strong arguments for the plausibility of the existence of God, formed on purely rational grounds.
In fact, Dr. Collins says he sees no conflict between science and religion. Yes, he agrees that descent from a common ancestor through evolution is obvious. But he also claims that the study of DNA provides strong evidence of our connection to all other living beings.
According to Dr. Collins, he discovered that there is a wonderful harmony between the truths of science and faith. The God of the Bible is also the God of the genome. God can be found both in the cathedral and in the laboratory. Science, which explores the majestic and terrible creation of God, can indeed be worshipped.
4. Two programmers allegedly proved that God exists
In October 2013, two scientists, Christoph Benzmüller from the Free University of Berlin and his colleague Bruno Wolsenlogel Paleo from Technical University in Vienna, allegedly proved the theorem on the existence of God, created by the Austrian mathematician Kurt Gödel - we have already mentioned this man and his theorem in the second item of our list.
Using a regular MacBook computer for their calculations, they showed that Gödel's proof was correct, at least on a mathematical level, in terms of high modal logic.
In their paper, "Formalization, Mechanization, and Automation: Gödel's Proof of God's Existence," they said that "Gödel's ontological proof was analyzed on the first day of the study with an extraordinary degree of detail using higher-order theorems."
Either way, the evidence is skeptical. Although the researchers claim to have proven Gödel's theorem, their work does not confirm the existence of God, but what advances can be made in science using Hi-tech- that's what famous mathematicians say.
Benzmuller and Paleo believe their work could be useful in areas such as artificial intelligence and software and hardware validation. Ultimately, the formalization of Gödel's ontological proof is unlikely to convince atheists or change anything in the souls of true believers, who might argue that the idea of a higher power defies logic by definition. But for mathematicians looking for ways to reach new level, this news may be the answer to their prayers.
5. The neurologist claims that clinical death really exists.
Although no truly conclusive evidence has emerged in both parts of our article, we cannot help but write about near-death experiences here.
Scientific research has shown that clinical death, with all its manifestations, such as a bright light, traveling through a tunnel, or the feeling of leaving one's own body, is an experience that is more vivid and memorable than any other.
According to Belgian neurologist Stephen Lorius, head of the Coma Research Group at the University Hospital in Liege, Belgium, he has interviewed many coma patients over the years. They told him about their "journeys" and other near-death experiences.
The team, made up of scientists from the Coma Research Group and staff from the University of Cognitive Psychology, developed questionnaires to refine sensory and emotional details in the subjects' memories. They then compared near-death experiences with other memories of real events accompanied by strong emotions, as well as memories of pleasant dreams and thoughts. However, scientists were surprised to find that near-death experience was far more dramatic than any imaginary or real event, including childbirth and marriage.
On April 10, 2013, Dr. Lorius told CNN that patients in intensive care are often afraid to tell their near-death stories for fear that people won't take them seriously, but those who have experienced such experiences often change forever and no longer afraid of death.
All of them are sure that their bright experience was real. Dr. Lorius believes that experience originates in human physiology. In addition, it turned out that it is enough for a person to simply think (perhaps erroneously) that he is dying, and, most likely, the memory of near death experience will appear.
Many people who have had near-death experiences were not physically in mortal danger, and this indirectly proves that the perception of the risk of death itself seems to be important in terms of having a near-death experience.
Lorius does not want to speculate about the existence of Heaven or Hell, but, according to him, only a small minority of clinical deaths are horrific. In most cases, they remain with a person as a pleasant memory - probably where more people go to heaven than to hell.
Especially for Sergei.
The evidence is based on the laws of thermodynamics
It is a very common point of view that the existence of God it is unprovable by rational-logical means that His existence can only be taken on faith as an axiom. If you want - believe, if you want - do not believe - this is a personal matter for everyone. As for science, then it is most often considered that her business is to study our material world, to study rational-empirical methods, and since God intangible, then the science has nothing to do with Him - let, so to speak, “deal with” Him religion.
In fact, this is just not true - exactly the science provides us with the most compelling evidence for the existence God the Creator everything around us material world.
Already in the 9th grade of secondary school, students have an idea of some fundamental scientific laws, for example, about Law of conservation of energy(also called the 1st Law of Thermodynamics), and the Law of Spontaneous Growth entropy, also known as 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. So, the existence of the biblical Creator God is a direct logical consequence of these two most important scientific laws.
Let us first ask ourselves the question: where did the observed by us surrounding us come from? material world? There are several possible answers to it:
1) World slowly evolved over many billions or trillions of years from some " primeval matter". At present, this is, so to speak, the "generally accepted" point of view. As if once there was a complete chaos, which then, for unknown reasons, suddenly "exploded" ( theory big bang ) and then slowly evolved» from « primary broth” to amoeba, and then to humans.
2) Material world always existed, forever, in the form in which we observe it now.
3) Material world just took it and arose from nothing by itself a certain time ago.
4) World was created God some time ago as primeval chaotic matter, and then evolved to modern look for many millions of years, but not "by itself", but under the influence of the same God. This is the so-called theory theistic evolution”, which is now also quite fashionable.
5) Material world was created from nothing God a certain time ago, completely completed and from then to the present is in a state of gradual degradation. Is this a biblical concept, or creationism.
Now armed with the 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics, let's try to answer the question which of these concepts is correct, or, more precisely, which of them laws at least not contradictory.
The 1st of the above concepts, quite obviously, contradicts 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, according to which all natural spontaneous processes going in the direction of increasing entropy(that is, chaos, disorder) systems. Evolution how spontaneous complication natural systems is completely and utterly unambiguously prohibited 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. This law tells us that chaos never, under any circumstances, can be established by itself order. Spontaneous complication any natural system is impossible. For example, " primordial broth"never, under any circumstances, for any trillions and billions of years could not give rise to more highly organized protein bodies, which, in turn, could never, not for any trillions of years" evolve» in such highly organized structure, as a man. Thus, this "conventional" modern view of origin of the universe is absolutely wrong, as it contradicts one of the fundamental empirically established scientific laws – 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.
2nd concept also contradicts 2nd Law. For if our material world was eternal and had no beginning in time, it is quite obvious that, according to 2nd Law, he degraded by now to the level of full chaos. We, however, observe in the world around us highly ordered structures which, by the way, we ourselves are. So, the logical consequence of the 2nd Law is the conclusion that our Universe, all around us material world had a beginning in time.
3rd concept, according to which world arose from nothing “by itself” a certain time ago in a ready highly ordered sight, and since then slowly degrades, - of course, does not contradict the 2nd Law. But ... it is contrary to the 1st Law ( Law of conservation of energy), Whereby, energy(or matter, because E=mcc) cannot arise by itself, out of nothing.
Fashionable now 4th concept, according to which evolution exists, but not “in itself”, but under “ God's control", also contradicts 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. This law, in fact, it doesn't matter if the evolution"on its own", or "under the guidance of God". He simply speaks of the fundamental impossibility of flow in nature evolutionary processes and fixes the presence in it processes directly opposite - processes of spontaneous disorganization. If evolutionary processes of self-complication existed in nature (regardless of whether under the influence of God, or without it), then 2nd Law simply would not have been discovered and formulated science in the form in which it currently exists.
And only the 5th, biblical concept, creationism, fully satisfies both fundamental scientific laws. Material world did not arise by itself, it was created by an intangible God- and it matches Law of conservation of energy (1st Law of Thermodynamics), Whereby matter does not arise on its own out of nothing. Wherein 1st Law establishes the absence of matter (energy) from nothing at the present time, which also corresponds to the biblical statement that "in 6 days completed God his deeds, and rested,” that is, that from that time God no longer creates new matter. The one mentioned in bible"curse" inflicted God on the material world, just corresponds to the action 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.
Thus, one can calmly and boldly, without any exaggeration, assert that creation material world proven by science, since this fact is an obvious logical consequence of two fundamental, empirically established scientific laws – 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics.
Another thing is that, after all, science you can not believe. For example, various inventors perpetual motion machines
, in fact, do not believe in the truth 1st Law of Thermodynamics - Law of Conservation of Energy. Therefore, they are trying to invent a mechanism that would create energy"out of nothing". Similarly, those who believe in the truth theories of evolution, in fact, do not believe in the truth 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, which clearly prohibits the possibility evolution how self-complicating process- and in the same way they are trying to "invent", to come up with a supposedly existing "mechanism" or law, according to which there would be processes of self-organization of matter.

Does God exist? Proof of.
The origin of life remains an open question for most people. If we take into account the possibility of bringing life to Earth from space, then there are two main possible versions of the origin of life in the Universe.
- Life arose as a result of random biochemical processes (abiogenesis).
- Life was initiated by a certain Supreme Divine Personality, which is the root cause of the entire universe.
In view of the fact that we do not have direct evidence of either the first or second option, it remains only to use your mind to logically approach in response to the origin of life.
The world around us can be divided into animate (living) and inanimate (non-living) objects.
Everything that happens in our world is subject to rules that have their exceptions, as well as rules or laws that Dont Have exceptions.
Evidence that God exists.
On what basis can the proof that God exists be based? It is not possible to directly imagine God Himself. Therefore, to prove the existence of God can be represented as follows:
The existence of unambiguous laws that point to a certain object - possessing the qualities of the Almighty. Moreover, it is important that the submitted laws do not have a single case of exceptions.
Consider the following laws of the universe.
The first law with no exceptions.
This is the law of cause and effect. From this law it follows that any manifestation has one or more causes, and itself, in turn, is the cause of other manifestations. Everything that we see around us is the result of some cause.
Based on this law, it follows that in order for all existing objects to appear, there must be one initial root cause of all things, and this root cause- exists outside the law of time.
The second law has no exceptions.
Inanimate (non-living) object - can become the cause of other inanimate objects.
Animate (live) objects - can become the cause of both inanimate and animate objects.
From this law follows: The root cause of the entire universe can only be a living (animate) being.
Earlier, when living nature was not yet so well studied, hypotheses appeared that living beings could be born directly from inanimate nature. When conducting more thorough research, and observing the purity of the experiments, scientists could not reproduce the process of the origin of life from an inorganic substance. Later, when the DNA molecule was discovered, and it became known that the information in it is stored in an encoded form, attempts to “generate” life from an inanimate substance are not found among adequate people.
The third law, which has no exceptions.
If all parts of one object have one common property, then an object consisting entirely of such parts also has this property..
For example: if all, without exception, the parts of which the table consists are made of wood, then we can say that the table is entirely made of wood. All this is absolutely obvious.
All living biomass of the Earth consists of living objects. All living objects have one thing in common: the reason for their appearance, was another living object (Law No. 2). According to the third law, all the biomass of the Earth (that is, life on Earth), has a source of life, which can only be - another living object.
Not to recognize this conclusion means to recognize your thinking as illogical and inadequate, not taking into account obvious facts that have not a single case of exception.
All these three laws can be applied to all living things in the universe. But only real fact the origin of a living object from an inanimate one, may force us to reconsider these laws of origin.
If we claim that life (a living object) occurred as a result of the random interaction of inanimate elements, then we will contradict everything that we can see, that is, common sense. And if we cannot give a clear and definite description of this First Cause, then we must recognize the fact of its existence.
Let's take a closer look at a living object.
All bodies that have signs of life have cellular structure. When scientists better studied the structure and functions of cells, it became clear that the substance, the contents of the cell, is an extremely complex system of heterogeneous components. The cell has irritability, the ability to move, grow, reproduce and adapt to change. external environment. The totality of biochemical processes carried out by the cell, which ensure its growth, restoration, is called metabolism, or metabolism. The protoplasm of each cell is constantly changing: it absorbs new substances, subject them to various chemical changes, builds a new protoplasm and converts into kinetic energy and heat the energy contained in the molecules of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, as these substances are transformed into other, more simple connections. This constant expenditure of energy is one of the characteristic features living organisms that belong to them alone. Tens of thousands occur in living cells chemical reactions, each of which has a certain meaning. Among other things, the cell of a living organism has the ability to reproduce. If we set the task to develop and “design” something similar, even at the current level of development of science, this is not possible. That is, with the application of the accumulated intellectual potential of all mankind! Is it possible to speak seriously about the "accident" of the origin of this most complex organic formation, due to an accidental "successful" mixing chemical elements? It's the same as after a sandstorm, the Moscow City building will be “accidentally” “built”, and with all the office equipment inside.
The DNA molecule deserves special consideration. This molecule stores all the necessary information to build a new organism. The uniqueness of this structure lies in the fact that all information contained in the molecule is encrypted. This fact alone proves that the creation of this structure cannot be explained by chance. Deciphering this information, in order to build a new organism, also cannot do without the presence of a decoding program. Nothing can be encrypted in a strictly defined order “by itself” and then, also “by itself”, decrypted.
All these discovered facts prove that the organization of such complex structural formations, simply by the fact of its existence of its structure, cannot do without the use of an intellectual principle. And this proves that the root cause of all that exists is a living object, whose abilities cannot be compared with the abilities of a person.
The fact is that the theory of the origin of life as a result of random biochemical processes originated when the most complex structure of a living cell was not yet so well studied. Therefore, the version of the “accidental” origin of life did not look as ridiculous as it looks now.
Modern scientists have already learned how to write encoded information into a DNA molecule, and subsequently decode and read it. Against the background of these opportunities acquired by man, the genetic modeling of living beings by other intelligent beings began to look absolutely natural. But do not forget that, according to the law of causation, there must be root cause- the main source of life, which was the cause of the very first intelligent being. And this root cause- exists outside of time. Man, due to his imperfect mind, is unable to understand how it is possible to exist outside of time. But a man must be intelligent enough to recognize the existence of things beyond his understanding. And this means that such things as the First Cause of life must be understood as an axiom, without trying to fully understand it with your own consciousness, which is not sufficiently adapted for this.
Many reasonable people, proceeding from the obvious things and laws that surround us, unambiguously believe in the existence of a Reasonable First Cause of all things. But, at the same time, they believe: since God is so incomprehensible, then there is no need for religions - as such. Thus, “liberating” oneself from the comprehension of spiritual knowledge. To the question why religion is needed, a complete and conclusive answer is given in the article.
How to prove to an atheist that God exists?
As the most significant counterbalance to the idea of the existence of a divine principle, is the theory of Charles Darwin. This theory is still studied in high school today. Modern scientists are in no hurry to accept the critical views of their colleagues on the theory of evolution. Too much would have to be rewritten and rethought throughout science. And what a large number of academic degrees, titles and scientific papers would have to be cancelled.
The thing is that Darwin outlined his theory at a time when scientists could not study the structure of living organisms so carefully. MORE THAN (!), DARWIN HIMSELF ACTUALLY REFUTED HIS THEORY. More. Darwin's theory was based on the gradual development and complication during the evolution of living organisms. That is, all organs of a living being and the living organisms themselves, according to the theory, should develop - gradually, from simpler ones to more complex ones. Darwin recognized that if organs of living beings were discovered, which, in the absence of one element, could not function. That is, the organ should have appeared - immediately. So called - irreducible or complex organs.
And such bioconstructions were found!
"irreducible" or complex element , which demonstrates the refutation of Darwin's theory, has become a small flagellum for the movement of unicellular organisms. In fact, it turned out to be a complex unique bio-mechanism.
1. A flagellum for movement under water is an absolutely irreducible construction. She simply will not be able to work eating at least one detail. Based on this, the theory of gradual development suffers a crushing collapse. Below is a video film in which scientists, by the way, former supporters of the theory, having studied in detail the complex irreducible structure of the flagellum, came to an unequivocal conclusion: given element could not develop gradually. All of its components are absolutely necessary for the flagellum to function!
If you remove one - any element of this biological structure, then the flagellum simply will not perform its functions.
Conclusion: this bioconstruct appeared immediately, and not gradually "in the course of evolution." And this means that the reason for its appearance was a reasonable idea, embodied in the reality of a complex biological structure.
According to the theory, the evolution of species should have occurred gradually, from simpler to more complex. It would be logical to assume that the DNA molecule, which in its essence is an encoded blueprint of the future organism, should have become more and more complicated, as more and more new formed organisms became more complicated. But after studying amoeba DNA, scientists found that the size of the genome of a single-celled amoeba is about a hundred (!!) times larger than the human genome! In addition, DNA in two very similar species can be drastically different. This inexplicable, and apparently contradictory discovery, scientists called C - paradox.

Or, you can watch a 28 minute science VIDEO that shows how - essentially Darwin himself - disproves his theory:
How to prove to an atheist that God exists?
There is a category of people who say: show me God, then I will believe. To prove anything to such a person is to waste your time in the most useless way. He has already decided everything for himself. A person who really wants to find out something for himself is ready to follow the path of knowledge, or at least logical reasoning.
It is possible to prove to a person that God exists if we analyze such a phenomenon as clairvoyance.
Everyone knows such a phenomenon as clairvoyance. It is defined as a type of extrasensory perception, the supposed ability of a person to receive information beyond the channels of perception known to science and determined by modern scientific means, including information about past and future events (Wikipedia). One of the most clear examples possessing the gift of clairvoyance, was Vanga, Nastradamus. However, there will always be skeptics whose pride will not allow them to come to terms with the fact that there is someone with more abilities than him. In particular, Michel Nastradamus is accused of the fact that there is no clear reference to time in the events described in his quatrains. But the time of the events predicted by Nastradamus was given in encrypted form. And to decipher these dates, Dmitry and Nadezhda Zima were able, as they outlined in their book “Deciphered Nastradamus”. Numerous facts confirming Vanga's clairvoyance also speak for themselves. But how can this unusual phenomenon be explained? Let's try to figure it out.
In fact, the effect of clairvoyance, we encounter every day. For example, a weather forecast is also a fact of "clairvoyance", but not always accurate. At its core, clairvoyance is an accurate prediction of events that will occur in the future. But what is necessary in order to predict future events as accurately as possible? This requires two things:
- All possible data that may affect the course of the predicted event;
- Unmistakable, accurate analytical processing of all these data, giving the only true forecast for the development of an event.
What data, first of all, influence, and, ultimately, determine all major events? These are the thoughts and desires of people who, to one degree or another, can influence the development of the predicted event. And the only person to whom these attributes are attributed is the Supreme Divine Person. The most complete picture of what is happening is given by the Vedic scriptures, such as "Bhagavad Gita" . They say that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the First Cause of everything, resides in the heart of every living being in the form of Paramatma, and who knows all the desire thoughts of a living being.
“I reside in the heart of every living being, and memory, knowledge and forgetfulness come from Me. The purpose of all the Vedas is to understand Me."
The approximate dimensions of the Paramatma are also given, which are equal to the distance between the end of the thumb and the end of the ring finger of the hand, that is, about twenty centimeters. According to Vedic literature, the heart also contains the soul – “atma”, which is a living being associated with the physical body for a certain time.
In the Vedic scriptures, it is also stated that the Paramatma (Oversoul) and atma (soul) are of the same nature. That is, in other words, they are identical substances.
Let's sum up the intermediate result. The Supreme Being, which is the main source of life, is present in every person in the form of a certain wave field (Paramatma). The thoughts of a person who also have wave characteristic, available to the Paramatma. Thus, God has all the information about every person. Having the most powerful analytical thinking, and all necessary information, the Supreme Being has the ability to give an accurate forecast of events that have occurred in the future time. This information is transmitted to a person (predictor), who voices these events of the future.
The ability to "read" information from the information field of a person, and even from objects belonging to a person, is possessed by some clairvoyants (also Vanga). But only the Supreme Personality can process and generalize all the information coming from millions of people. Clairvoyant people explain that the information simply appears in their head as ready-made video information.
In fact, manifestations of such a phenomenon as clairvoyance prove the existence of a certain Supreme Personality, which, due to its presence in the form of an energy substance (Paramatma), in the body of living beings, has complete information about a living being (including his thoughts). But just try to imagine what analytical power you need to have in order to process such an amount of information, given the dynamics of the interaction of these data with each other! And the fact that periodically there are people demonstrating such unique opportunities, looks like a demonstration of evidence of the existence of the Supreme Personality, who has supernatural abilities, which are very difficult to comprehend.
In order to make sure that the DNA molecule could not be created “randomly”, but only because of a reasonable initiation on the part of an incomprehensibly powerful Being, you can read the following studies of scientists.
DNA is the largest information storage molecule in the entire universe. Modern discoveries reject the idea of "junk" DNA, which does not code for proteins, and reveal many of its amazing functions, which we have become aware of only recently. Dr. John Mattick, a leading authority on the function of DNA, believes that "junk" DNA acts like the latest computer technology. operating system. More recently, he expressed his regret that the idea that DNA that does not code for proteins is junk has seriously harmed science:
“The refusal to recognize all the meanings of [non-coding DNA] may well be considered one of the biggest mistakes in the history of molecular biology.”
Electrical protection.
Another great property of DNA in cells is how it conducts electricity. 2,3 But DNA is very vulnerable and easily damaged. Free radicals attack DNA by taking away an electron (an oxidation process) from one of the bases - the chemical "symbols" of the DNA code. The resulting "hole" in place of the electron can move along the DNA and behaves like a positive electrical current.
We have already said that some of the "junk" DNA is a pair between the "symbols" A and T (the bases of adenine and thiamine), and this blocks the harmful electrical current. This pairing acts as an isolation or "electronic lock in the chain", protecting important genes from electrical damage by free radicals attacking a distant part of the DNA.
More recently, Jacqueline Barton of the California Institute of Technology has shown that DNA also uses its electrical properties for protection. Along the edges of some genes is a sequence of G "characters" (the base is guanine). They easily absorb the electron hole, so that it moves along the DNA until it reaches a sequence of G characters. This deflects damage away from the parts of DNA that code for proteins.
This is very similar to the principle behind galvanized iron. Here, a coating of reactive and less important metal - zinc - sacrifices itself, takes all the oxidation, protecting the iron from rust.
DNA damage is scanned electrically.
Our cells have elaborate DNA repair mechanisms. If we take into account that in each cell there are about 3 billion "letters" responsible for information, then the amount of checking to detect errors should be very large.
Intact DNA conducts electricity, while damage blocks current. Dr. Barton has found that some "repair" enzymes use this pattern. One pair of enzymes attaches to various parts strands of DNA. One of the enzymes sends an electron down the filament. If the DNA is not damaged, the electron reaches another enzyme and causes it to separate, i.e. this process checks the region of DNA between them. If there is no damage, there is no need for repair.
But in the presence of damage, the electron does not reach the second enzyme. This enzyme travels further down the thread until it reaches problem area and then fixes it. This repair mechanism seems to be present in all living beings, from bacteria to humans.
Such an ingenious repair system must have existed in all forms of life from the very beginning, otherwise, due to damage to the DNA, life could not continue. As scientists uncover more and more evidence of the complexity of life, we are becoming even more convinced of how “wonderfully created” we are.
Having become acquainted with all the above arguments, no person with adequate thinking would think to assert that life could "spontaneously originate" as a result of a chaotic mixing of molecules. Well, those people who are in no way satisfied with the existence of the Higher Mind will always exist. And they will not have hopes to get new - true knowledge about the universe until they have a desire to receive this knowledge!
An interesting fact is that the commission of sinful acts, and even just thoughts that are considered in different religions as - "sinful", greatly reduce the speed of the brain, that is, reduce - the amount of vital (mental) energy, which is directly perceived by a person as a feeling of happiness. You can read more about this in the article. (page will open in a new window).

With all major types spiritual development and real knowledge about the main source of life, you can find out by reading one of the most ancient scriptures which contains the whole essence of Vedic wisdom - "Bhagavad Gita" published on our website.
"Bhagavad Gita As It Is" - book. which for five thousand years has turned the minds and lives of millions of people, read on our website.
Today we will talk about whether it is possible to prove whether there is a God and the devil or not, about the most striking evidence of the existence of dark and light forces, about what it looks like, what God and the devil are. In our article, you will receive proof of the existence of God and the devil.
Before you start reading this article, answer yourself the question - Do you believe in God or not? If you believe, then why? How do you know He exists? If you do not believe, then how can you be sure that God does not exist? What do you think is the evidence for the existence or, conversely, the absence of God?
And now let's talk a little about the meaninglessness of the existence of the devil without God and vice versa.
All people are divided into several categories: those who believe in God; those who do not believe in God; those who believe in God sometimes..
Why am I not talking now about the devil and about those who believe only in him? Because the existence of the devil without God is absurd, few people believe in the devil without believing in God, except that there are those who recognize the power of the devil, for example, the same magicians, sorcerers, psychics. And they believe in God, in their own way .. sort of like “the demons believe and tremble”, but still they choose the dark power.
If the devil existed without God (even theoretically, without proof), then our earth would have been dead long ago, like us, or other unfavorable forecasts ... And as many believers suggest, people are the “battlefield” for finding out relations and competitions between God and the devil, who will “lure the people” more, on whose side you will stand - that you and the warrior, etc., can not be called a battlefield, but more gently, loyally, correctly, but the essence of this is not particularly will change.
Even the short stay of Adam and Eve in Paradise (when everything was fine with people and only God existed for them) quickly ended, because this competition between God and the devil should have begun, where people, it turns out, are pawns. It ended rhetorically: they say, the man himself turned out to be so down to earth and sinful that he was led by the fairy tales of the snake and ate the forbidden fruit ... And this duality of human nature is inherent in everyone forever and from birth, and everyone eats this forbidden fruit - so if not for Adam and Eva, we would do it.
But the paradox, according to the same Bible, is already in the fact that in man himself there is both light and dark - a craving for the divine and earthly, sinful, and these two natures always fight, which one will overpower, that is, which one the person himself will choose - on the side of those he turns out to be strong. According to the theory of Christianity, everything begins with the choice of a person, and even though we are pawns in a game of two forces, we are able to choose.
There are 7 million people on earth (already more), everyone has their own opinion about whether there is a God and the devil or not, everyone has their own version of evidence on this topic. Let's look at the main ones from the popular ones, and then the more subjective ones.
From the point of view of science, there is not a single reliable confirmation of the existence of God, moreover, there is not even a clear definition of who God is. There are only arguments of philosophers, psychologists.
So, for example, morality did not come from nowhere: “In our conscience there is an unconditional demand for the moral law. Morality is from God.
“From the observation that the majority of people follow certain moral laws, that is, they are aware of what is good and what is bad, it is concluded that there is an objective morality, but since good people commit bad deeds, and bad people are capable of good deeds, a source of morality independent of a person is needed. It concludes that the source of objective morality can only be a higher being, that is, God.
What is present in a person moral law- conscience (which differs from earthly laws only in greater accuracy and inexorability), and an inner conviction in the need for the final triumph of justice, indicates the existence of a legislator. Torment of conscience sometimes leads to the fact that the criminal, having the opportunity to forever hide his crime, comes and announces himself.
Conscience is one of the clearest proofs of the existence of God... No matter how paradoxical it may sound, it is precisely with the sprouts of divine power planted inside every person that the desire to do good more than evil is born in us, if someone has the opposite, they say that he buried his conscience.
From the point of view of scientists, not everything is so simple ... “buried” conscience ... For example, Erich Fromm (German sociologist) argued that the predominance of craving for evil begins when a person kills the love of life in himself, this happens due to different reasons, one of which is psychotrauma, but this switch is turned by the person himself, sometimes he is able to stop, but often he does not.
The cosmological argument for the existence of God (from Wikipedia):
“Everything must have a reason. The chain of causes cannot be endless, there must be the very first cause. The root cause is most often called "God" by some.
It occurs, in part, already in Aristotle, who distinguished between the concepts of being random and necessary, conditional and unconditional, and declared the need to recognize in a number of relative causes the first beginning of any action in the world.
Avicenna mathematically formulated the cosmological argument for the existence of God as the single and indivisible cause of all things. A very similar justification is given by Thomas Aquinas as the second proof of the existence of God, although his formulation is not as strict as that of Avicenna. Subsequently, this proof was simplified and formalized by William Hatcher.
The cosmological argument looks something like this:
Every thing in the universe has its cause outside itself (children have their cause in their parents, details are made in a factory, etc.);
The universe, being composed of things having their cause outside of themselves, must itself have its cause outside of itself;
Since the universe is matter existing in time and space, possessing energy, therefore, the cause of the universe must be outside these four categories.
Therefore, there is a non-material cause of the Universe, not limited by space and time, not possessing energy.
Conclusion: God exists. From the third point it follows that he is an immaterial spirit, outside of space (that is, omnipresent), outside of time (eternal), and independent of energy (omnipotent).
In general, someone created the Universe, us, forests, trees, rivers, lakes, fish, insects, etc. They couldn't come from anywhere. And the most probable assumption of the appearance of all this is God. Why He created all this - as an option - the assumptions at the beginning of the article. Perhaps he was bored in this empty universe, so he created the crown of creation - man, in order to compete with the proud angel Lucifer.
from Islamic theology: “In the light of the Big Bang theory, the cosmological argument is as follows:
Everything that has ever appeared has a reason
the universe came into being
Therefore, the universe has a cause."
This also includes paradigms about eternity, being and non-being ... In addition to mortal being and our temporary shell, there is something else, and, perhaps, many understand and feel this, but, unfortunately, the vanity of this world drowns out the call to the eternal inside a person. However, the soul is eternal, as many who have visited the Other World testify, and our planet has existed for many centuries, perhaps millions of years .. and human life lasts only tens of years.
The fact that inside a person, if you look deep into yourself, does not agree with the fact that “there was a person and there is no person and there are no traces of him”, I want to believe that there is a continuation of life, I don’t want to believe that our soul will someday stop existence as if we never existed.
And this is already a paradox: where does this come from in us? Where does this longing for eternity come from?
The theological argument for the existence of God suggests that the world is too complex to come into being on its own, and if there is a clock that runs, then there must be a watchmaker who created it. Scientists, deriving formulas about the complexity of the universe, came to the conclusion that there must certainly exist, if not God, then the Supreme Mind for sure. In Kabbalah, he is called the Great Architect, in Islam, Allah, in Buddhism, the Buddha, etc. But the source of everything - a certain deity - is the answer of many not only philosophers and humanitarians, but also scientists.
Faith could not come from nowhere as an independent desire for some newly invented God, it is embedded in the human psyche from the womb. A person does not just need to believe in something, it is vitally important for a person to believe in something, replacing at least some kind of surrogate craving for God as a creator. Therefore, all smaller semblances of faith in God are only compensation for the lack of communication between man and God.
There is not a single country, not a single city in the world without a religion, without a temple - this already says a lot.
According to Plutarch: “Go around all countries, and you can find cities without walls, without writing, without rulers, without palaces, without riches, without coins, but no one has yet seen a city devoid of temples and gods, a city in which prayers would not be sent, not swore by the name of the deity.
“The fact that a person reaches out to God, feels the need for religious worship, indicates that the Deity really exists; that which does not exist does not attract. F. Werfel said: “Thirst - best proof the existence of water"
The religious argument, despite being criticized by scholars, is one of the strongest proofs for the existence of God for believers. The relics of saints, the exorcism of demons, drops of blood on the shroud, visions in the process of clinical death in reality, other languages - prayer in other languages, etc. All this, according to believers, was taken only directly from God ...
There is still a long list of proofs and arguments for the existence of God, but there is not a single reliable and indisputable evidence. For all existing evidence there are denials, doubts and other versions.
God gave us the biggest mystery - himself ... As if leaving the choice for everyone whom He created, to believe in Him or not ...
And if everything were clear, then there would no longer be God.
What does the Bible say about God? Yes, in fact, the entire Bible is a book inspired by God, which means that it was written by people who dedicated themselves to God and are in His will, through all the messages these people tell us something important, that is, in fact, God speaks through them.
“The Bible says about the incomprehensible and incorporeal God the Father:
You cannot see My face, because a person cannot see Me and stay alive (Exodus 33:20).
And it is also said: no one has ever seen God; The Only Begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He revealed (John 1.18).
In the book of the prophet David, the Psalter, there are approximately the following words: The fool said in his heart: “There is no God” (Ps. 13.1).
The Bible also says that God is love, God is spirit, God is triune…
Why has no one ever seen God in real form? There are versions that a person is too impure to touch and come so close to such a holy image as God, besides, God is associated with light and fire, and can both transform into a shell and be a spirit, but a person can go blind when looking at Him , burn out, etc.
But there was one unconditional manifestation of God to people according to the Bible - this is Jesus Christ, who brought salvation to the world. And Christ embodied the essence of God on earth. But after all, it seems that people saw God ... well, what did they do with him ?? Crucified…
A few words about the devil. Even if we assume without question that the devil exists - what does he look like, what do you think? A devil with horns and glowing eyes? People often think that this is some kind of image from horror films ... In fact, the devil is a stumbled (proud of his beauty and intelligence) angel, angels are incorporeal creatures and they are lower in rank than people. The question that will remain eternal: why, then, is this angel, who is simply a ministering spirit, holding the whole earth in fear, dominating over people? There is no definitive answer...
The devil uses people to fulfill his goals. And his goal is the destruction of everything that God created. He cannot create anything new, remember The Master and Margarita (novel)? The devil only copies the actions of God, only with a minus sign, the devil is a magician, an illusionist. In order to lure a person into his nets, he offers temporary benefits, that is, he does evil through good.
The evidence for his existence is as uncertain as the arguments for the existence of God, but the question of the existence of the devil is not as popular as the question of the life of God. Probably because the devil is a figure dependent on God, and yet this is a very dark niche where you should not climb unnecessarily.
Magicians, healers, sorcerers, psychics know perfectly well, even if they tell you fairy tales, what kind of use of their power they pay a certain price, and that price is the sale of the soul to the devil... Of course, as long as they are alive there is always a chance to repent, but as long as they are alive.
Even if you do not pronounce the word "devil", then you can safely say that there is a certain negative energy, there is evil in the end, there are troubles, tragedies, there is death, illness, suffering, which are clearly not from God ... According to the Bible - after the fall, the earth was given into the power of the devil, the earth is cursed, therefore everything on it is mortal, perishable, including human flesh.
Poltergeists, fever from demonic possession, ghosts, monsters in the night - these are "flowers" compared to the real possibilities of the devil if people are in his power. For example, Hitler is the incarnation of the devil on earth, one of the incarnations ...
Summing up the article, I would like to say that there is no unambiguous evidence for the existence of God for crafty minds, however, just as there is no affirmative evidence for the absence of God...
But still - if there is no God, in fact, a person is also an “incomprehensible little animal”, created incomprehensibly by whom, it is incomprehensible for what ...
Everyone makes the choice to accept the available evidence as sufficient or to reject it.
Here are some indisputable proofs of the existence of God, the Supreme Creator of people, all things and life. Immediately I would like to point out that the words Truth, Axiom, Fact, Truth are synonyms, denoting the same thing.
He is the One who created the heavens and the earth out of nothing... (Quran, 6:101)
Do the unbelievers not see that the heavens and the earth were one and that We separated them and created all living things out of water? Will they not believe? (Quran, 21:30)
4 axioms proving the existence of God
- ⇒ The first axiom that proves the existence of Almighty God is the axiom of laws. Our universe is filled with many physical laws. For example, the law of gravity, the law of universal gravitation, Ohm's law, the law of friction, Newton's law, etc. If you pick up any thing and let it go, it will immediately fall to the ground. But did this object itself establish for itself that it would be attracted to the surface of the Earth, or did the Earth establish the law of attraction? Or maybe someone else established the law of attraction for the Earth and all objects? Similarly, we can give an example with all other laws that operate in our universe. Who made all these laws? Our axiom states: "If there are laws, then there must be someone who established them." After all, laws by themselves cannot be established. The question arises: who established all these laws of the universe? The only correct answer is God, the Creator of all things, Earth, Heaven and all life.
- ⇒ The second axiom proves the very existence of God. It is called the axiom of order. For example, you once came home and saw a terrible mess and mess in your home. The wallpaper on the walls is peeled off, the TV is broken, the books are scattered, the computer is damaged. Of course, you will be frightened and leave your home for a certain period. After a break, you return to your house and see complete order in it. Installed a new TV and computer, new wallpaper and everything is in order. The question arises: can order restore itself? On my own? The axiom states: if there is order, then there is also the one who established or brought it. Now it's time to look at our bodies. Do they have some order, or is everything arranged and functioning chaotically? If you look at the sky, what can you see? You can observe some order: each Star has its own specific place! If you look into nature, you can also see complete harmony! Your heart is ordered, it contracts its muscle at certain time intervals, and the blood flows in an orderly manner through the arteries and veins! The whole universe lives in perfect order! Therefore, a reasonable and justified question arises: who established order and streamlined everything celestial bodies and what's inside them? The only reasonable answer is God.
- ⇒ The third axiom that proves the existence of the Creator is the trace axiom. For example, if there is snow on the road, and then a car drives along the street, then in any case, a trace remains on the snow. Now we transfer the example to life, the universe and people. Or take any object from those that surround us. Everything around us is a trace of someone's work or activity. Music is the trace of the composer's activity, the picture is the trace of the artist, the computer is the trace of the developers and engineers who have invested a lot of work in its creation, the book is the trace of the writers' work. And this list is endless. The third axiom, which proves the existence of God, states: “If there is a trace, then there must be someone who left it! A trace never appears on its own!” Man, everything that exists, life - this is the trace that indicates to all of us the presence of the Creator.
- ⇒ Finally, the fourth, most interesting axiom, which is called the axiom of limitation. Our mind is arranged in such a way that it can only understand the essence of three things: man, the created world and life. Our mind is able to know only within the framework of these three parameters. What is a person, life and the whole world? If we disassemble a person, we can see that he is a completely limited creature and is completely dependent on the factors that surround him. This is food, water, rest, etc. If we talk about life, then it is a certain time period that is given to a certain living being. And this segment also has limitations. All things, Heaven and Earth are also limited. Life is limited, man is limited, all material and non-material worlds are also limited. The fourth axiom points out: “Limited things and objects are not capable of limiting themselves. Someone limited them and gave them boundaries that they cannot go beyond. The question arises: who limited everything that exists (heaven, earth and all worlds), life and people? There is only one correct and reasonable answer - this is the Lord God. He Himself is not limited by anything, does not eat, does not sleep, does not need anything ...
Creation of all things, heaven and earth
Video: "Facts of the Quran"
Meditate! There is still a mass of evidence that proves to us the existence of the Creator of all things. For example, what is more complex in structure, a picture on the wall, or Heaven and Earth? Of course, everything that exists is many times more complicated than a picture hanging on the wall. Question: "Is it possible to think that this picture itself appears on the wall?" Of course not. So, is it possible to consider that such complex worlds independently appeared and were ordered? There is only one conclusion - all these worlds were created by someone. And the only reasonable answer is that everything that exists was created by the Almighty God, who is not limited by anything and does not need anything.
The video contains very easily accessible information on how to believe in God correctly:
May the Supreme Creator make me and you constantly remember Him.
Koran 21:30
Statements of modern scientists-researchers about God
Whoever wants to see nothing but chance in this harmony, which is revealed with such obviousness in the structure of the starry sky, must attribute Divine wisdom to this chance.
Astronomer Madler
We have seen the work of the Creator in this world, which is unknown to other people. Look into biology, look at any organ human body or even the smallest insect. You will find so many amazing things there that you will not have enough time to study. It gives me and many of my employees the feeling that there is something great and wonderful. This Someone is the cause of the creation of the universe, and this Cause cannot be understood by us.
Dr. David R. Inglis,
Senior Physicist, National Laboratory, Argon, Illinois, USA
I can't imagine the universe and human life without any comprehending beginning, without a source of spiritual “warmth” that lies outside matter and its laws.
Andrey Dmitrievich Sakharov,
Faith begins with the knowledge that the Supreme Intelligence created the Universe and man. It is not difficult for me to believe this, because the fact that there is a plan and, therefore, Reason is irrefutable. The order in the universe, which unfolds before our eyes, itself testifies to the truth of the greatest and sublime statement: "In the beginning - God."
Arthur Compton,
greatest physicist of the 20th century, Nobel laureate
The meaning and joy of my science comes to me in those rare moments when I discover something new and say to myself: “So this is how God created it!”. My goal is just to understand a small corner of God's plan.
Henry Schaeffer,
renowned quantum chemist
In Sura Al-Mulk, the Almighty Creator says to mankind:
67:3 He created the seven heavens one above the other. You will not see any inconsistency in the creation of the Merciful. Take another look. Do you see any crack?
67:4 Then look again and again, and your gaze will return to you humiliated, weary.
