what is the nature of God?

[rafiqul]

I too am a scientist as well as a minister, Astrophysics is my subject. I agree with you to a certain extent, but when you look up at the stars at night, how can there not be a belief in God?

Star-gazing is something I have enjoyed since my childhood, lying supine on a wooden bench.... and drawing Mom's occasional scoffs for letting the gene fly over my bare chest.... And surely I have wondered at God's marvels up in the canopy. So when I read Sura Mulk (The Kingdom), the joy doubles when I find that God too invites us to watch His perfect creations in the celestial sphere.....Astrophysics lured me too, but remained as a hobby only, Petroleum Engineering becoming the means for bread and butter. BTW, is it not interesting that while you specialize in the 'outer' space, I do in the 'inner' space--as far as earth's crust, looking for petroleum, and coming across so many wonderful things that lie within earth!!

Meanwhile, I am reading your book at your website. Wonderful, indeed. How come I didn't come across truth-seekers like you (and many others on free-minds.com)?

I live in Lubbock. If I ever happen to pass by Galvestone, I will meet with you for a warm discussion. Be my guest if you happen to pass by Lubbock. God bless you!

I wanted to be a geologist to begin with, but seemed to have more of a talent for astrophysics (the other way around from you). The Earth and it's formation, history and future fascinates me.

It would be great to meet you, I rarely get up Lubbock way, but if you ever come to Galveston, you would always be welcome.
