Welcome to Enlightening Pathways and Reflections. In today’s episode, we turn our attention to some of the most profound questions of human existence, as we embark on a rational journey to understand the concept of God and creation.

We begin with a timeless mystery: why does anything exist at all? This question leads us to explore the idea of a Necessary Being—an ultimate source behind all that is. Guided by reason, we delve into the essential attributes this Being must possess: absolute simplicity, timelessness, immutability, omnipotence, omniscience, and oneness.

We’ll also examine the argument that the universe, with its intricate design and precise order, could not have come about by mere chance. Instead, it points to intelligent design—brought into being from nothing by the free and purposeful act of God. And this act of creation, far from being a distant moment in the past, continues even now, as the universe is sustained by the ongoing will of its Creator.

Finally, we reflect on how reason—while limited—can offer meaningful insight into the nature of the Divine, showing that faith and rational thought need not be at odds. Instead, they can work together to illuminate life’s deepest truths and offer us a richer understanding of existence itself.

Let’s begin this journey of thought, wonder, and reflection—together.
