Godstition

Millions of people, all over the world, from dawn to dusk, in home or out pray to this incredible source of all power they call God. Is the God real? What are the benefits and advantages of believing in God or multiple Gods? Let us try to discuss all these various topics here, and hopefully by the end of this we come to some consensus.

What makes something true? The answer would be Proof. "Faith" is not Proof, rather faith is a belief that should culminate in Proof. It means that a person with faith ultimately should get proof of existence of God. Without proof of existence of God you never can say that God is true. The statement that like Air cannot be seen, God too cannot be seen is a stupid or illogical argument. This argument will never make sense, as it presumes that God is true without any proof.

In the History of the World, there has never been Proof of existence of God. No one who has ever seen God has lived long enough to prove it. Major Religions in the world declare that God cannot be seen like Air, which makes it hard to prove the existence of God. Hence, God is unreal, because he is something that cannot be proved. Some religions say that God can be seen when called with intense faith. This statement is illogical since Faith only increases with proof and to have complete faith one needs proof. Catch 22 isnt it? Sad but true.

How was God Invented then? God was invented out of cowardice or helplessness of a human being. When a human being loses all hope or courage he clings to a superstitious/imaginary creature and pleads on the creature to come and help him. This creature is God. Sometimes, through coincidence, the human being who prays to God, gets his wish fulfilled, and he starts believing more in the existence of God after this. If, God is omnipotent and merciful, we wouldnt see the suffering or pain in those who live on the face of earth. The fact that there is so much prevalent suffering and pain, and the prayers of those who suffer go unheeded, proves that God is not real or really omnipotent.

Design Principles: Making Simple is Very Complex

One of the important concepts of design is to make things relatable. The consumer should be able to relate or associate himself to the product. Imagine, if the consumer does not find anything common with the product, he would either work hard to change himself or be compelled to dislike the product. Many gadgets we see these days incorporate sleek, thin and simplistic designs. Many companies try, but only a few succeed in making products which are simple in design, meaningful and speak to the consumers.

There is a thin line between a simple design and stupidity.More often, this thin line of distinction is not visible to the design heads or executives of great companies. When trying to make a product more simple, they usually end up making a mockery of a product. Sometimes, these products end up looking like garbage. Here, I would present you a few examples of how product design can fail terribly.

Samsung Mobile Phones:
Samsung has brought out some great phone, with their galaxy line. S1 was the first Galaxy phone brought out by the company, which featured pretty trendy design for its time. The phone was received well the world over, and it paved way for what was the real big thing in Samsung's Galaxy line-- Samsung Galaxy S2. S2 not only featured great specs, but also sported a great design. This phone placed Samsung as the biggest rival of Apple, and paved way for its bright future. See the designs below:

Samsung S1(Above) sported a very good design. It was flanked by smartphone users all over the world.

Samsung S2(Above). It took Samsung to Number 1 position among the Android Brands.

After Samsung S2, Samsung adopted a different design for all the subsequent phones. All these phones sported a Poly-carbonate(a hip name for plastic) back panel and a metal-like side rim. The poly-carbonate could have been used to decrease the weight of the phone, and make back panel more suitable for a wear and tear of having a removable battery. But, the phones ended up looking cheap and flimsy. Samsung, in order to get a simple looking, practical phone, got themselves a cheap looking phone that didn't feel premium. Look at the design below:

A Blunder in Design?

Even though S3 had a very ordinary design, it worked due to Samsung's marketing blitz and reputation. Next came, Samsung S4, which looked exactly similar in design to Samsung S3 -- the same old cheap plastic back panel and metal-like side rims. When placed next to iphone, S4 looked very cheap, and gave a feeling that it was some mid-level phone with low specs.

How cheap does S4 look when beside iPhone 5S? A LOT!

Resting on the past laurels is what Samsung seems to be doing, and this was made apparent when it released Samsung Galaxy S5! The same old Plastic back panel, and even worse design. Just have a look at it below:

Yes! It looks like Band aid
