My Encounter with God Part X

As the proof/evidence that I have given in my book failed to convince the reviewer and a big portion of the readers who read that review about the existence of God, so I went on searching for other proof/evidence.

Meanwhile I came across an article in the internet written by scientist Dr. Lee Smolin. In this article Mr. Smolin mentioned another article of another author in which this author has shown that if the universe is treated as one whole unit, then the universe can be said to be spaceless and timeless. We define the universe in this way: universe is that which contains everything that is there, and so by definition there cannot be anything outside the universe, because whatever will be there will be within the universe. Thus there cannot be any space or any time outside the universe, and so universe as a whole is spaceless and timeless. From here for the first time I got the idea of The Whole. The Whole is that which contains everything that is there, and so there cannot be anything outside The Whole. Thus The Whole will always be spaceless and timeless by default. This idea of The Whole helped me a lot towards fulfilling the dream of my life, that is, towards proving the existence of God. Actually without this idea of The Whole it would never have been possible for me to give any proof for the existence of God. Now it is time that I should show how the idea of The Whole ultimately helped me prove the existence of God.

We have already seen that The Whole is spaceless and timeless by default, causelessly. Here we need not have to ask the question as to how it is spaceless and timeless; or, what is the reason that it is spaceless and timeless. If there is any reason at all, then the reason is within The Whole itself, because by definition The Whole is that outside which there cannot be anything. If there is anything outside The Whole, then it is no longer The Whole, because in that case there will be something outside it. So it is only The Whole that can be spaceless and timeless causelessly, by default. Nothing else other that The Whole can be spaceless and timeless by default. Now in case of light also we find that light is spaceless and timeless, because for some unknown reason space and time become non-existent for it. But like everything else in this universe light is also within space and time, and it cannot be said that it is outside space and time. So there is no apparent reason as to why space and time would have to be non-existent for light. Still we find that they are non-existent. So what is the cause that makes space and time non-existent for light? Let us suppose that something within space and time (A) causes space and time becoming non-existent for light. About A we can ask two questions:
1) Are space and time non-existent for A also?
2) Or, are they not non-existent for A?
If 2), then how can A cause space and time becoming non-existent for light when they are not non-existent for A itself? But if 1), then we will have to ask the same question about A that we were earlier asking about light: what causes space and time becoming non-existent for A, when we know very well that A lies within space and time, and that it has in no way been deprived of them? So we see that A cannot be the ultimate cause that makes space and time non-existent for light, because here we will have to find out again the cause that makes space and time non-existent for A for the first time. In this way it can be shown that there will be an infinite regress, and that there is nothing within space and time that can be this cause. So ultimately we will have to go beyond space and time in search of this cause. If there be anything that is not within any space and time (The Whole is not within any space and time), then space and time will be non-existent for it simply by default, and here we need not have to ask this question any more: what causes space and time becoming non-existent for it? It will be spaceless and timeless causelessly, by default, and there will be no infinite regress at all if we suppose that it is the cause that makes space and time non-existent for light. But if it does not have consciousness, then how can it give its own attributes of spacelessness and timelessness to light so that space and time can become non-existent for light also? So it will have to have consciousness so that it can bestow its own attributes on light. Thus the fact that space and time become non-existent for light compels us to posit the existence of a conscious being behind the universe. This conscious being we call God.

Now if the scientists can give any other alternative explanation for the fact that space and time become non-existent for light without positing any kind of God, then they are most welcome to give it. But if they fail to give any satisfactory explanation here, then let them be honest enough to admit the existence of a conscious being who we call God.
