According to deism, who is man, where did he come from and where is he going?
Our eighth lesson will also take the form of a conversation with another deist. We have questions for him:
- Who is a person, where did he come from, where is he going?
- Why was this world created?
- What does the owner of this world want from us?
- Why are we given so many senses and equipment?
- How should we thank Him for the blessings given and how can we win His love?
- Why are the creatures decorated with different colors, each painted with different colors and each given different shapes?
- Why do creatures with so much effort die after a few days or weeks? Are the efforts not in vain?
- There is continuous renewal in this world. The one who came doesn't stay, he leaves quickly, another one comes instead. What is the reason for this?
- Why does the gracious owner of this world allow disasters, diseases and other troubles?
- What is after death?
We have dozens of such questions that the mind cannot find answers to. Even if he finds it, he cannot prove it. Only prophets with revelation can give us the right answers.
Think for yourself: does our gracious creator allow these questions to haunt us and occupy our minds at all times? If so, why? Is sending a prophet such a difficult task for Him to leave us with such unanswered questions and constantly occupy our minds?
No, it's not what you think. He does not leave us alone with such questions, does not occupy our minds and thoughts with them. He sends his prophets, sends down his books, and teaches us the answer to every question we have. And this is from His mercy, justice and wisdom.
