Who is the creator

The stone Produced a Child
A modern Mulla Nasruddin lived in a colony of
Evolutionists. The Evolutionists did not believe in
God and used to say that this vast creation came into
being as a process of development into billions of
years. They used to make every possible effort to
imprint this 'idea' on every mind and soon many
people started to believe in their words. The
Evolutionists' reputation grew and many scientists
and historians, students and teachers, followed their
doctrine of 'gradual development'
from a lifeless universe to
mono-cellular organism, then
birds and animals, then chimpanzee
and then human being.
There was a widespread
fervor about this "new idea". But
Mullah Nasruddin caught no
'spark' of this popular knowledge.
He used to live in a lonely
cottage on the outskirts of the
Evolutionists' Colony and
passed his time praying and
supplicating God. Whenever
would he pass through streets,
the Evolutionists would mock at
him and say: "See, the sage of
non-sense!".
One fine morning, Mullah Nasruddin was
walking in the colony, knocking at every door and
distributing an invitation card. After some time, all
the Evolutionists were out in the street showing
wonder and amazement and buzzing with clamors,
talking to each other, laughing and pointing to the
invitation card which read as follows:
"Dear Sirs & Madams, you are all invited to a
supper at my cottage this evening on account of birth
of a child in my home".
All knew that Mullah Nasruddin was not married
and lived all alone. How come a child could be born
in his home? Yet, with a motive to make fun of him
and enjoy a humorous situation, they all gathered at
Mullah's house in the evening. The house was
decorated with flowers and delightful music was
filling melody in the environs.
When the guests were seated, Mullah came out
smiling, with a petty newborn in his arms which he
had 'borrowed' for a day from his friend in the nearby
town. All were amazed and asked: "But, Mullah!
You were never married". "Oh,
No!" Mullah giggled, "That's not
the case. Come, I�ll show you my
wife who gave me such a pretty
child". Curiously, all followed.
Mullah guided their steps to a
room in which a big stone pillar
lay stood in the middle. Mullah
had even put a beautiful gown on
that pillar to give it the look of a
lady. �This is my wife who gave
me this pretty child".
"Ha-ha-ha-ha� ha-ha-haha��
An uproarious laughter
burst out and when it stopped, an
Evolutionist said: "Mullah, we
already knew you are foolish but
now we think you are even mad.
You want us to believe that a
dead stone produced a living child who breaths and
sleeps, moves and feels?"
Now Mullah was serious and said : "But this is
what YOU have been telling me since long. If this
beautiful world, its orders and systems, perfections
and designs, intellect and emotions, dreams and
desires can come out 'gradually' and 'evolve' from a
lifeless object, without God, why my stone can't
produce a living child?"

The common question - GOD || !GOD

GOD || !GOD

I came around a very good explanation of why we see pain and suffering all around the world?
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:
"I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?Would there be abandoned children?If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond
because he didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.
The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.
"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because
if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."
"Exactly!" affirmed the customer.
"That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help. That's! why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
