Smile The human mystery-The understanding of God

How are human beings unique from all other organisms and beings around us? How are human beings related to all other organisms and beings around us? Without God, there is nothing like the human person. Do you agree? Without the understanding of God, we cannot understand who we are. Do you agree to this?

Human beings are unique from all other organisms because unlike any other created organism, Human beings were created in the image and likeness of God. Human beings are efficient because of the one who created us but human beings cannot be hundred percent efficient because human beings are not God. It is true that some organisms have thinking faculties but none of these can be compared to the abilities of the normal Human mind. According to science great creatures like Whales and elephants show significant degrees of intelligence however these degrees of intelligence are insignificant as compared to the intelligence of a normal human person. The very fact that these organisms somehow show certain levels of intelligence brings out the idea that Human beings are not the only created things with the ability to think or Humans are not the only created things with intelligence. Intelligence here could be from a common source because all life began from a common source. If intelligence radiates (originates) from a common source then the highest level of intelligence is that “common source”. Therefore, the human level of intelligence is not the ultimate or the highest level of intelligence because human beings are not that “common source” from which all life began.

The understanding of God is the major key to understanding the human person. God created human beings in His own image and likeness and there is nothing about the human person God does not know and hence with the understanding of God the major problem in understanding the human person is already solved. It is very difficult to interpret an art work without anything concerning the artist’s background or the circumstances surrounding a particular art work. Human beings are the handwork of God and hence one need to know something about God the creator before one can fully understand the human Person which is the handwork of God. Our limited minds cannot fully understand all about God but the little understanding of God is enough to solve almost all the human mystery. Human beings are creatures and human beings are “something” God has created. Understanding the human person is just like understanding or recognizing the “something-ness” of the human person. Nothing can exist by itself. Therefore in order to understand or appreciate the fact that the human person is something that exists, one needs to understand what it takes for the human person to exist and that is God.

i think to put in a simple example is we need to believe god as we trust electricity. even though we can't see the current but we know and believe it is there. that is why we know every time we switch on our lamp we believe the current will flow and produce light for us. i don't know people who don't believe in current or electricity, but no one knows who invented electricity but we believe it is there.... right?
