CAN WE BELIEVE THAT OUR LIVES ARE PREDETERMINED?

Religions teach that everything in the world is created by God. Science too suggests nearly same thing.  There is always a purpose behind every creation. And that purpose is decided by the creator himself. There are countless number of creations in this world. Each form of creation must be having its own purpose according to its own shape and other qualities. Each group of creation is, therefore, unique in its purpose, may be with minute difference.

Let us concentrate on man. Man is governed by three sets of guidelines. Those are Religious or Divine guidelines, built-in Natural guidelines and Scientific

guidelines. Religious or Divine guidelines are believed to have prescribed by the Supreme One. In the Bible, Jesus says that man cannot do anything without Him.  "For without me, you are able to do nothing.".(John 15:5) That must be a law of creation. Man has made such amount of equipments in this world. None other than those made for automatic functions works by its own. And that preset automatic functions have its own limitations.

In order to understand this in details we must look at ourselves. Identity of a person is determined generally by the status of the parents to whom and the family in which the person has born. In both of these the individual concerned has no choice. Similarly the personality of one is adjudged by the physique of one. Colour of the skin, facial beauty, proper limbs etc are also considered. These are not optional for anyone. After growing up one get the name and fame depending upon the memory and intelligence possessed by the person. No one has any control over establishing these in the mental system. Healthy nature of external and internal limbs significantly contribute the peaceful life of an individual. There are such pivotal factors that make human life successful or failure. Fundamentally man has no any contribution in these that shape his life. Concisely speaking, success, contentment, happiness, peace etc are not manmade or man's achievement but these are all predetermined by the Creator Himself.
