While growing up i found myself in a Muslim family and in a community overwhelmed by Christian population.
In my family i was taught the basics of Islam and the existence of Allah, my Christian Friends also said alot of wonderful things about the existence God, i didn't allow what my family and community holds about God influenced me. That is, my believe in the existence of God is not limited to sayings like;
"he is the Alfa and he is the Omega,"
"He is the reason why I'm living"
"He is the creator of heaven and earth"
I went beyond all the above excuses in my head to make sure i have good reasons to believe in God, and not just because my parents and the community i leave believe in God's existence. Things that really convinced me to believe that God really exist includes but not limited to the following, "The principles of polarity" and "The order in the cosmos"
Looking at the principles of polarity, one could see that everything that the theist and the atheist alike believe to exist have two sides, or can be said to have pairs of opposites. For example, we have the electrical polarity called negative and positive, the gender polarity defined as male and female and geographical polarity known as the north pole and the south pole. "Everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has it's pairs of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half truth; all paradoxes may be reconciled." The Kybalion
My question is, if every thing has its opposite pair, then what is the opposite of the devil?
I know many who don't believe in God don't believe in the devil as well. I have to say that, my believe in the devil does not mean i have seen the devil with my eyes, but because of some diabolical activities and practices in my community which cannot be explained using any existing scientific theories, but can only be credited to the devil. For example, in Idomaland (Benue state, Nigeria) there is a practice by some wicked sorcerers called "Ébgóngá" which can be translated in English language to mean 'Sudden death'. People who practice this can bring your life to an end by taking sands from your footprint, mix it with other things, Invoke your name and then say how and when he/she wants you to die.
Another practice that makes me believe in the existence of the devil is the manipulation of marriage status of a beautiful and intelligent woman. A lady can be made to remain single for life or as long as the manipulator lives.
Many men and women had claimed responsibility for the conditions of their victims and many had confessed to manipulating people's life when they are about to die.
In Applying the "principles of polarity" the aforementioned practices proofs the existence of the devil; hence God's existence is justified.
The Order In The Cosmos
The order which has been established throughout the cosmos is a perfect one. It is in the perfection that i see the existence of a Higher Power.
If kudos are given to people or engineers who invented things like, The airplane, The electric welding process, Wireless telegraphy, The light bulb, Calculating machine, Steam turbine, Monorail, Motion pictures and so many ether things because of the historical changes they had caused.
Who then should we praise for the energy pyramid, where the sun is the basis of all energy?
Who should we give praise for the invention of sun which warms our seas, stirs our atmosphere, generates our weather patterns, and gives energy to the growing green plants that provide the food and oxygen for life on Earth?
Who should we praise for the state of the atmosphere to the degree that it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, sunny or cloudy?
There must be somebody responsible for all of the above, which i believe is God.
In conclusion, i will say; as the light bulb reminds me of Thomas Edison and the airplane reminds me of wright brothers, so do the sun and moon and the birds in the sky reminds me of God's existence.
