Questioning the ‘Orderly’ Order

I sometimes wonder that what is it that ensures the way the things are. What is it that makes those rare and memorable moments ‘rare’? Why is it that in every country, there is a section which is poor and a section which is rich? Why was it that amongst all the species, only humans evolved to an extent that they now control the world? Perhaps, one may argue, that it had to be someone. But, do these ‘co-incidences’ refer to the existence of something which we call ‘God’?

All these questions struck me while I was watching a video on ‘Weird Dismissals in Cricket’. Why were those dismissals so ‘rare’ that the creator of the video could manage just 10 of them from the data of the last 20 years? One may assert that humans are prudent, and avoid committing the mistakes they suffered from in the past. But, are humans really that perfect? Why is it that the Australians always end up winning each one of their cricket matches, and when some other country, like recently India, defeats them in a game or two, the whole world sings songs of appraisal? Doesn’t that defeat the concept of being ‘perfect’? Or would you suggest that the humans are not yet perfectly ‘perfect’?

So, what is that force? It has to be something! The world just can’t be a mere co-incidence, for God’s sake! Did I just remember God? So, is he the force behind all this? But who is he? Or is he ‘she’? I reckon that ‘God’ is just a hypothetical creation by some great philosophers in the past, the very thought of ‘whom’ and the faith in ‘whom’ makes us psychologically strong. So, as per me, God doesn’t actually exist, but is rather an imagined concept embedded somewhere in our subconscious. But then, on the flip side, there doesn’t seem to exist an alternate theory which brings everything in order. Am I questioning the atheists? Perhaps not, I am just asking them to justify what they don’t believe in. Or am I also questioning the belief of theists by asking them the ‘definition of God’? Which side are you on? Or are you an agnostic who believes in God?
