>>18886531Intellectually, Islam is the only answer, here's how
First we have to establish the existence of God,
imagine that I asked you "where did humans come from?" you answer will be something along the lines of, "evolution, through apes", and then I will ask you where did apes come from? you will say through X, and where did that come from? it came from Y, until we reach the first cell on earth, then im gonna ask you where did the first cell on earth come from? you will say "stardust" or something along those lines, but where did that come from? we will keep doing this, this chain of dependent things cannot go on infinitely, as it would lead to an infinite regress. Therefore, there must be something that is not contingent, something that exists necessarily, an uncreated creator, for life to not be an absurdity
Now we have established what we call a neccesary existence, meaning God, now lets establish monotheism, its quite easy to prove yet I will give 1 point of why only One God could exist
God is by necessity all-powerful, meaning he projects power all things, if there are 2 Gods and they are equally as powerful, then they won't project power onto eachother, then they are not all-powerful, thus not gods, if there is 1 God that projects power over another, then the one projecting is a God, because he is all powerful, while the other isn't, there are more complicated explanations but this will suffice
Now that we have established God, what religion would God reveal his message to? Lets see,
A Religion should only be studied if it contains these 3 things:
1. Universal concept of truth:
It claims it is the only source for truth
2. Proselytisation:
This means it must want people to convert, if it doesn't, it means being a follower of it doesn't affect you at all.
3. Must be canonised:
A belief which doesn't have established systematic theology can be changed.
this qualifies 3 Faiths
Christianity, Sikhism and Islam
