a. Does the God exist? Give your opinion.
“Does
God exist?” is a controversial topic which has been discussed since the
beginning of human civilization. It depends upon our belief. Some people
believe in the existence if the God and some do not. In my opinion, the God
exists. The God live in our mind. The existence of God is like the existence of
radiation. We just see the effects of it. We don’t see God but we find effects
in our lives. Unexpected and miraculous things are the example of the existence
of God. Although there is no physical presence of God but the God exists in our
sub conscious mind. Hence god exists upon us and he is immortal and intangible.
