If God's Existence Was Held As Scientific Proof, The World Could Still Be In Turmoil

Would God bring peace and prosperity or chaos and destruction to society?

If God's Existence Was Held As Scientific Proof, The World Could Still Be In Turmoil

God, would he be something of a Morgan Freeman, a cardboard cutout emerging from the clouds, or just something seamless that exists somewhere up among the stars? But, really, what would happen to society if God was truly proven scientific fact?

Peace

The best case scenario would be world peace of course but again this is the best case scenario and that only seems to happen in movies but let's explore the possibility of it. All religions would dissolve and form into one praising this one God as this would take some time and hardship for many of the strong believers, but we get there eventually.

Next, God tells us about the afterlife, giving us hope for what's to come. This in itself could greatly decrease crime rates across the globe as all would want to get into "The Good Place," which does instill a little fear, but it's for the good of others and oneself. God can answer all the important questions that have been left unsolved, like is the earth flat, round, a donut, or a dinosaur (honestly, who knows.)

With all of this knowledge, we would be able to prosper like never before living our best lives without a worry in sight. But, let's be honest, that will never be the case.

Religious Turmoil

When God becomes fact, there will be a massive outrage from many religious groups as they have now lost all their power over their followers and believers, especially the ones worshiping multiple deities.

Next, those monotheistic religions will attempt to defy the God saying he is not the true and pure one or will attempt to take advantage of the moment and say that he is their God meaning everyone must believe in their faith. A new form of atheism could soon arise as those who did not believe a God was even possible are now not accepting fact, which could become increasingly popular, creating a divide in the world.

Blame

Blame would become a real issue, as anything that goes wrong will be blamed on God. Natural disasters, for instance, we now know that they have a reason and we come to this ethical question of did these people deserve to be struck with such a force.

Then, when a loved one passes unexpectedly, we go straight to God asking how could he do this she was a great person, she doesn't deserve this.

As more and more blame build up, it gives more power to the new atheist group creating chaos between the believers and nonbelievers, which, worst-case scenario, ends our existence as a species.

With just a few scenarios being played out is it beneficial to know our creator, know everything or will it save us, in the end, being left in the dark with only our curiosity to guide us.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
