Why are people doubtful about the existence of God? The reason is only one, that is, for them God is unseen, while all other things are seen. People say that God should also be visible just like other things. They say that if this is the case, then why should we believe that there is a God?

This doubt has no logical base. If there was any logic in this argument, it was in the pre-scientific era. In the post-scientific era this argument has completely lost its logic. Although God is not the direct subject of science, but science, through its method of study, has proved in an indirect way the existence of God almost with certainty.

According to the modern scientific discoveries it is generally accepted that at the fundamental level, everything in the universe behaves like a probability wave.

In a world where everything is unobservable, the demand that God should be observable has no logical base. In purely scientific terms, all our beliefs are based on assumptions, not observation. If this is the case, then there is no logical base to say that God must be observable otherwise He has no existence.

Moreover, science has proved that there is a highly intelligent design in the universe. This kind of design requires conscious planning. There is mathematical precision in nature. This phenomenon is an indirect proof for God.

Many theoretical physicists among them Stephen Hawking believe that single-string theory is a step towards the correct fundamental description of nature. This phenomenon shows that there is a central control in nature. This fact is enough to believe that there is a God. If this God is unseen, it doesn't matter because, according to the law of nature everything else is also unseen for man. If you don't lay down this condition regarding other things, then why do you lay down this condition for the existence of God?
