God, Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh, Brahman… there are many names given to a concept that dominates
the way many people live their lives. Nobody can truly know the truth about the universes
creation, but could it have been as a result of a divine creator, and if so….where are
they now? Hello and welcome back to Life’s Biggest
Questions, I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today I am asking What if God was real.
As always, our videos are intended to encourage discussion and debate, rather than be the
definitive voice on a topic. If you like our content, please leave a thumb up and of course

So, God. Well. For many people, God is already real, however with our question, we mean what
if it was proven beyond reasonable doubt that our universe had a creator. If this was ever
to be the case, it would be the biggest and most fundamental discovery of all time. Huge
discoveries aren’t always met with huge responses, but, as this one would answer one
of the biggest questions ever posed, I can only imagine the response would be somewhat
chaotic. Also, if God was real…then…who exactly are they?
As the song goes, what if god was one of us, just a slob like one of us. Just a stranger
on the bus, trying to make his way home. Without launching into the Austin Powers version
for some unnecessary side track lols, the song does pose a good question. Does God have
a a gender, is god human, where is god living now and of course, the big question for many
people...is there a heaven? Oh, and...is there a hell? If there is, then people would adjust
their behavior accordingly, although I personally feel like that is cheating as the fear of
eternal damnation shouldn't be what forces you to be a good person, you should just want
to be one. This raises a point too, if God was real, perhaps the holy spirit could clear
a few things up for us, seeing as the divine word has only been allegedly heard and passed
down by a very select few prophets...all male...perhaps not so coincidentally when considering religion
as a tool for oppression.... but that is a whole can of worms for another day.
Speaking of those prophets, those who have supposedly spoken to the almighty creator,
perhaps if God were real, he could clear up a few inconsistencies for us and clarify which
holy book is actually representative of the past, if any. If any one religion were proven
to be supreme, this could lead to a lot of social tension.
More questions….if God were real, the line of questioning would be endless. The scientific
among us would be fascinated to know more about how the universe was created and what
else there is to discover. I’d be keen to ask God about his or her resume…did they
create any other beings...if so, where those aliens at? Is God retired, or is he/she planning
on creating more life any time soon. Others may have question as to why natural disasters,
wars, famines, murders and other such horrible things are allowed to happen.
Perhaps if God were real, it is in a way that most of us never imagine. Perhaps god is an
absent creator, perhaps we were made by accident? Perhaps the universe is a disk on the back
of four elephants riding a giant turtle and god is the zookeeper? Perhaps we are mere
sea monkeys to god, or a school science project? Perhaps the big bang was as a result of an
experiment gone wrong…or right…Who knows. Perhaps there is a heaven, and perhaps there
is a hell. Perhaps good people live forever in some far off paradise in the skies… but
then, perhaps maybe we don’t. And that is the issue really….we can never
know what would happen if God was proven to be real without it actually happening. I would
like to say humans may find a greater sense of peace with one of their biggest philosophical
questions answered, but to be honest, even if existence was proven, it would only lead
to more questions…and I always think a good Q&A sesh is worthwhile…and who better to
conduct one with than with a being that is alleged to have all the answers.
So…that is all I have on this question. What do you think would happen if God was
real? How would you react? Do you think the world would be a better place, or we’re
held together by not knowing? Let me know in the comments below.
