Introduction

Many people around the world think there's a higher power controlling everything, which they often call God. Different religions have their own gods and goddesses whom they worship as creators. Most believe that after we die, we'll return to God. Some think we'll be reincarnated until we've paid our karmic debts. Others see God's role more philosophically. Many believe that being good brings us closer to God, while evil leads to punishment. So, we believe in an afterlife and that we must meet certain conditions to reach God. However, some focus on being good and spreading love, even if they don't believe in God, because they value respect, love, and societal harmony. Those who believe in God see Him as just, loving, and merciful, but questions remain about the extent of His attributes.

Every person experiences a longing in their heart that they want to fill. At some point, we all feel this emptiness, sensing that something is missing. God intentionally placed this feeling within us to draw us closer to Him. However, instead of seeking God, we often try to fill this void with money, relationships, substances, work, and other earthly pursuits. Yet, no matter how much we chase after these things, the feeling of dissatisfaction persists. We go through cycles of seeking temporary satisfaction in worldly pursuits, only to find ourselves back at square one. Earthly pleasures can offer fleeting joy; we may feel excited when we obtain something we desire, but soon enough, that excitement fades, and we're left searching for the next thrill.

Only God can truly fill the void of emptiness within us. When we find God, we reconnect with the source of our being. As Jesus told the Samaritan woman in John 4:14 (NIV), but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.

Peace, joy, and wholeness are found solely in God. However, the question arises: who is God?  Does God even exist or is it a fable? With countless religions claiming to serve God, how do we discern which one to follow?

For centuries, humans have pondered the origins of the universe, sparking both scientific exploration and philosophical reflection. Recent advancements in cosmology, especially through the Big Bang theory, offer insights into the beginning of space, matter, and time.

Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB): Discovered in the 1960s, the CMB fills the universe uniformly, serving as a remnant from its early stages. This radiation strongly supports the Big Bang theory, indicating a hot, dense beginning to the universe.

Redshift of Galaxies: Observations show galaxies moving away from each other, suggesting an expanding universe. This aligns with the predictions of the Big Bang, hinting at a singular starting point.

Abundance of Light Elements: The Big Bang theory predicts the creation of light elements like hydrogen and helium, which observations confirm. This adds credibility to the theory's early universe model.

General Theory of Relativity: Einstein's theory describes the universe's dynamics, hinting at a singular beginning where space, time, and matter converged.

Second Law of Thermodynamics: This law
