One God, Many Religions

As we examine the major religions of the world, we will find out that most of them teach that the Lord is all-powerful, omnipresent, omniscient, and eternal. The exceptions are Buddhist scholars who argue that these attributes apply to the Creator-God, in whom Buddhists do not believe. They believe in God as the Impersonal Truth, pure Existence, pure Consciousness and pure Bliss (Sat-Chit-Ananda). Hindus believe in such a God as well, but they do also acknowledge that this impersonal Spirit-God (Sat-Chit-Ananda) created the universe, and by the virtue of having done that, He automatically assumed the role of the Creator, Father-God.

Therefore, essentially, both Buddhists and Hindus believe in the same Creator-God, with the difference being only in the viewpoint. Hence, we can conclude that all major religions of the world believe in Creator that is  all-powerful, omnipresent, omniscient, and eternal.

Based on the premise that there could be no two (separate) omnipresent eternal beings, we should conclude that we indeed believe in the same Almighty, because to have two (or more) separate omnipresent eternal beings is an oxymoron (i.e., impossible). They cannot be separate because they would mutually exclude some “living” space from each other and hence they wouldn’t be omnipresent. If they are separate and omnipresent at the same time, the only possibility for this situation to occur is if they would exist at different time intervals (and hence they wouldn’t be eternal).

Science also has provided a theory that, if proven valid by a larger scientific community, will confirm that there is one God and He is the Universal Substance that everything is made of. The new theory named “The Geometric Concept of Matter“ claims that matter is created by the primordial vibration and that the same process also creates space and time. So, these four (vibration, matter, space, and time) manifest as creation that we perceive and experience. Creation exists relative to the surrounding “outside,” which envelops it like an ocean that bounds a little island. This “outside” is void of all forms; it is infinite and eternal; it is endless in every aspect, because notions of space and time apply only “within” creation.

And yet from this formless “outside” creation is made; It serves as the building material for everything that is ever created. From physics we know that vibration always indicates the existence of a supporting medium or substance. So this “outside of creation” is some kind of a substance, but we don’t know much about it. The only thing that we could be certain of is that this medium is not material. Why? Because, the above mentioned primordial vibration actually creates matter, and therefore this primordial substance cannot be material (because it exists before matter is created!), but immaterial—or spiritual, if you prefer.

So, what is this substance that everything is made of?  As explained by religion, this substance is God Himself; He is the Universal Substance out of which all forces and things are made.
