OSHO: God is Not a Solution - But a Problem (A)

I do not believe that God does not exist I know for sure he does not exist. And thank God that he does not exist because the existence of God would have created so many problems difficulties that life would have been almost impossible. You may not have looked from this angle from which I am going to talk to you perhaps nobody has ever tried to look at it from this angle. The Christians say God created the world In fact, the hypothesis of God is needed for the creation The world is there somebody must have created it. Whoever created it that creator is God But do you see the implication? If the world is created then there can be no evolution Evolution means that creation continues Think of the Christian story God created the world in six days and then on the seventh day he rested since then he has been resting The whole creation was completed in six days Now, from where can evolution can have a possibility Creation means: finished! the full stop has arrived on the sixth day the full stop; and after that there is no possibility of evolution Evolution implies that creation is not complete hence the possibility of evolving But God cannot create an incomplete world; that will be going against God’s nature He is perfect and whatsoever he does is perfect neither he is evolving, nor the world is evolving everything is at a standstill, dead. This is the reason why the popes were against Charles Darwin because that man was bringing in an idea which is going to kill God sooner or later Those popes were perceptive in a way they could see the faraway implications of the idea of evolution. Ordinarily you would not connect creation and evolution What connection is there between God and Charles Darwin? There is a connection. Charles Darwin is saying that the creation is an ongoing process that existence is always imperfect it is never going to be perfect only then can it go on evolving reaching new peaks, new dimensions, opening new doors, new possibilities God had finished his work in six days and not long ago four thousand and four years before Jesus Christ was born It must have been first of January, a Monday because we manage to fit God into everything that we have created. He has to follow our calendar If you ask me, I will say it must have been Monday, the first of April, the Fools’ Day, because that day seems to be absolutely suitable for doing such an act of creating a complete ready-made existence If evolution becomes impossible, life loses all meaning life loses all future then it has only a past It is not unnatural that religious people are constantly past-oriented they have only the past Everything has been already done there is nothing to be done in the future the future is empty, blank
