Evidence for the Creator: Human Consensus

 Truth is not a democratic process. Truth is true, whether we believe it, know it, understand it, or not.

In the sphere of the human experience, a belief in a spiritual, metaphysical realm is a constant, across lines of time, region, culture, race, and religion. There may be different perceptions, as described by the old Hindu tale, 'The Blind Men and the Elephant,' but the reality of the Elephant is not in question.

For all of human history, there are too many instances of interaction with a spiritual dimension to dismiss. People from every time and region have testified to an encounter with 'something,' whether they defined it dogmatically or not.

I have no statistics, but i observe, that even in communist countries, where atheism was/is the mandated worldview, where theists are subjected to re-education and persecution, belief in a Supreme Being was/is still prevalent. Even now, after DECADES of mandated belief in atheistic naturalism, people in communist countries are embracing God, as the Source of all things. They seem to 'feel it', in their innermost being. Every major culture has acknowledged some kind of Divine, Spiritual Entity, or dimension, with a soul that lives on after death, morality, and sometimes accountability for 'bad' actions.

The more successful cultures have clearly defined Deity(s), with moral standards, and acknowledged Him/Them in their daily lives. The only historical atheistic cultures i know of were the communist ones in the recent era, and they were short lived. It seems that indoctrinating people to believe in random chance and godlessness isn't as effective as indoctrinating them into a Deity based worldview.

That will spell the end for the current progressive Indoctrination, too.. imo. But like other collectivist fantasies and utopias, previous failures won't deter them.. 'We'll get it right, this time!' 

So, along with the consensus of humanity as 'evidence' of a Supreme Being, i submit the efficacy and success of societies that acknowledge the Creator as evidence FOR a Creator.

This is a scientific and logical analysis of the phenomenon of human consensus. It is one evidence of many, of a Creation Event, and conflicts with the model of atheistic naturalism.
