“THE SCIENTIST’S GOD”

PART 23
Priye saw Sharon running towards where he sat. He had a soft spot for the Lady. He had spotted her first on the flight that brought them to the Island. Ever since he got to the Island, there was something that endeared her to him but all his life he had always failed in the area of women. He therefore held his peace, especially after seeing the way she was warming up to Xavier…
Priye came to Bribia Island with the intention of hiding from the present pandemic. As a scientist, he had envisioned what was happening a long time. The moment the news broke out about the virus, he suspected the outbreak would not be easily contained. He therefore knew what was best. He needed to find a settlement where there won’t be a lot of people there. He knew how Viruses worked. If it had no host, it would die off. Priye avoided everyone on the Island, he was a Lone Ranger, but couldn’t help but notice Sharon.
“I am done…In fact come to think of it? Are you real? If you are real, Are you a good God? No I don’t think so, you create your beings and leave them to care for themselves. Take for instance, Look at the Virus killing your creation and yet you do nothing. You are wicked, very wicked… I hate you! You are a terrible creator. Go to Hell” Sharon Screamed picking up a stone and throwing it at the cloud.
She picked up her phone and typed…
“ God is Shit… If He is who He claims he is Why the worldwide calamity???#SupposedGodcannottakecareofhiscreation.” Shalom posted on her page.
Priye watched her and he knew she was definitely disturbed…
************
Sharon’s post went Viral. The masses took the words so seriously. The news agency took it seriously. In less than 24 hours Bloggers began to discredit who God is.
“ If He knew He couldn’t care for mankind why create us?” Said a man on National T.V
“ I feel God is overwhelmed by the wisdom of the humans he created so at the moment He is confused about what to do” Said a comedian on one of his Online Live show…
The Internet became the market square of Life. Everyone was online for life. The Internet became like the air everyone needed to survive.
***********
Folabi started searching for answers online the moment he started seeing different reactions and negativity against God… The general school of thought was that God was behind the Islingbee Virus. He didn’t want to believe God was behind Ella’s sickness.
A popular female talk show presenter by the name Oma Whitney spearheaded the philosophy that based on research, It had been discovered that God was the brain behind the Islingbee Virus as he wanted to wipe out 90% of the earth’s population since the capacity of humans’ exploits have gone beyond what he created. They backed up their fact Scripturally by stating that God Never wanted his creations to be “open eyed”, he wanted them confined within the scope of wisdom he created for them to operate, but as Humans started breaking the walls, God decided to wipe them all out…
Folabi saw the video and it did make sense to him at first…
“Yes! God created Adam and Eve and placed them in the confines of the garden of Eden, Why” He questioned within himself
Under the tree where he sat, a fierce wind blew suddenly. He didn’t read too much meaning to the change of atmosphere but he continued with his thoughts…
“ Why did God Keep Adam in the confines of the garden and never wanted them out…?” He questioned again.
“ He wanted to be their Alpha and Omega, He wanted them not to struggle before they got whatever they needed. He wanted everything they needed already prepared and readily available for them” A second voice replied in his head.
“ When Man decided to break His rules and experience the kind of life God had not made available for him, man was put to shame. God punished them, He pushed them out of His Garden of readily available Luxury to a life Of Struggle and working hard to survive.” The voice continued
“ When Humans also went out of line, and living their lives like they didn’t owe God any thing, He made them know who was in charge as in the case of Sodom and Gomorrah, Tower of Babel and the during the time of the ark of Noah..!” the voice continued
“ Are you saying that the world is being afflicted by God right now?” Folabi asked the Invisible Angel that stood by him. The Angel was there to enlighten him.
“ No, Humans are only destroying themselves, but at the moment with the conversations of humans flying around, they are beginning to tread the path of the men who brought down the wrath of God… The consequences are always grievous… Do humans think at all?” Said the Angel
“ Why did you say that?” Folabi said absentmindedly without knowing for a fact that he was discussing with an angel.
“ Humans attest to the fact that God can wipe out the entire world and yet they speak against him. If only they knew how compassionate GOD-INFINITE is, they won’t imagine HIM to have done such a thing. Also, if humans feel they know how tough God can be, they don’t feel afraid that he can destroy the world in less than a second and raise Himself another generation.?” The Angel of Truth said to Folabi who unknowingly thought he was speaking to himself….
At that point, there was a loud thunder that the entire world heard simultaneously.
