Existence:Response to Khurram

Re: # 180

khurram

((((If Universe exists because God is observing it, then who observes God?)))

When we talk about material objects being dependent on our (or for that matter God’s) perception or observation, we are not asserting some sort of "existence" of those "objects". All we are saying is that it is merely the reflection of our senses or ’consciousness’. Even when we talk about the ’existence’ of God we don’t consider God a material being. God, in that sense, is ultimate consciousness (mind, observer) and He is the "cause" of that idea (of existence of material) in human minds. The problem arises because of the usage of the term "existence" without describing it.

NOTE: Anybody who is looking into it.... this is by no means an exhaustive answer to his question. Existence’ is an incredibly complex philosophical issue and it’s impossible to discuss it here.
