World as I Think

I can’t resist rambling about God; it’s one of my favorite topics.

Being addicted to statistics, I understand that the sole purpose of an experiment is to infer the results to scrutinize a hypothesis. Let me put a valiant and omnipresent hypothesis

Ho:(Null Hypothesis)
God is fair and unbiased

Let me take the example of students writing examinations. Having been a student myself, this is what happens when we have gone through a tough examination. We always try to blame on the toughness of the question paper rather than taking onus for not preparing well.

I know people who spent time to track the question paper leaks, study only particular topics based on previous year question papers, imitate the answer sheet of the student before him, string the textbooks in their body instead of preparing for the examination which is more relevant.

I have even tried to bribe god with offerings, if he gives him me an easy question paper which contains questions which could be answered by the level of preparation. I feel that luck is an illusionary payoff for the underestimation of the system or the lack of the ability to appreciate chance.

Lets take the scenario of different students

A) Student is well prepared and seeks the help of God
B) Student is under prepared and seeks the help of God
c) Student is well prepared and doesn't seek the help of God
D) Student is under prepared and doesn't seek the help of God

Suppose all the students write the exam and God helps out the person who is under prepared/help seeker. Suppose the candidate scores more than the person who is under prepared and doesn't seek the help of God. If that happens there is no doubt that God is being unfair and biased, I guess we agree that he is not that.

God is unconditional as per our null hypotheisis. It is the same case, if God tries to help the well prepared/help seeker. Now, if God tries to be merciful and helps the under prepared student, he would become biased w.r.t other creation which he created as well. There is a negative incentive to prepare now.

Now, why do we need to seek the help of god when he would be unbiased? .I’ll take the help of the student who is under prepared and seeks the help of God. The students feel that there is more probability that he would end up in low scores, if the examination turns out to be far harder than his level of preparation. There is a tendency to unaccept the negative potential inherent in the outcomes. That is crudely call fear for you.

In my view, fear is the state, which is right there when we don't understand the consequences of our actions. Unacceptabilty of the consequences is just the extension of it. May be, if the under prepared can accept that he would score low; he would better start preparing for exam rather than seeking the help of God.

I am not completely going to discard the process of seeking help from God, I'll tell you from my personal experience that it always helps to bask with the confidence that there is somebody to help us out when we are uncertain about the consequences. Don’t ask me to relate this to the life's trinity; thoughts/words/actions. I shall not be provoked to say that life's trinity have their consequences and there is a tendency to be unaware/unaccept the consequences.

There is another precarious hypothesis, which I was forced to think as an extension.

Ho

Does God exists and is responsible for what happens around us!!

I'll tell you the preliminary results, there is God and the scope of the definition only varies. May be, I was stranded with my limited field of outcomes.That is what makes the concept of God more interesting.
