Have you ever get a chance to watch The ten commandments ? I haven't watch the movies either but I have read a 3-4 of the screens.
The first one is Thou Shalt Not Adore False Gods or in our own words "Tohid."
It is the story of a dad who doesn't believe in God. Who thought that everything is science: combination of particles and the law of evolution.
His son went ice skating on a lake ... They measured the thickness of ice and made sure that it is safe ... but the ice cracked and took his son ...
Nobody except the hourly workers of a factory know that on the same day the damn factory threw its sewer in the lake. The waste made the water warm and melt the ice.
He lost his son ...
The movie wanted to show that no matter how carefull you are you have limited control over your life. You can't anticipate everything. The parameters in the world are more than what you can think about and consider.
I think this is absolutely true. People are WEAK. I know that I am weak. Comparing to the whole world around us we are like a sinlge particle in a drop of water. I know I should be lucky to finish this post. Each time that I fly I think "do I get back to the ground again ?" Each time that I go to the airport to pick up Behnam I think "does he come ?"
But to me it doesn't mean that there is a God. I think the existance of God is in contradiction with the world ...
I'll write about this contradiction more ...
till then I love you ...
