If any of the world’s religions can offer an adequate paradigm to explain ultimate reality, one of them has to be right, and the rest wrong, or they all have to be wrong. For example, let's compare Christianity and Hinduism. One of the primary theological tenets of Christianity is that God exists as a triune being, revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He created everything, but is not Himself part of Creation, or dependent on Creation. On the other hand, Hinduism teaches, there is one life force (Brahma) that is comprised of everything that exists. In other words, God is everything, and everything is God. The deity can be manifest in many different apparitions, known as avatars, (this is where we get the word from, that is often used in video games. The player controls a being that represents him in the game.). If you do away with the Creation, you do away with Brahma, because it is everything. Either both the Christian idea of God, and the Hindu idea of God are wrong, or one of them is wrong, and the other is right. They cannot both be right. It has to be one or the other. It cannot be both. That is really true of all opposite ideas, theories, paradigms or philosophies if you think about it. If there is such a thing as truth, and it is definable, two opposite definitions cannot both be true. If we say that none of them, (meaning the world’s religions) are true, we do away with the option of a metaphysical explanation, which puts us back in the relativist’s quagmire of meaninglessness, or the naturalist's perpetually frustrated attempt to explain the origins of life based on the data provided by science. These naturalist’s theories are constantly coming to frustrating end roads. If you are interested in researching this, I fully encourage you to read as much of the latest material in this field as you care to. You may not gain as much satisfaction from their findings as you might think. The interesting thing about naturalism, (meaning: the attempt to explain the origins of life based entirely on the analysis of the components of biology), is that when the leading researchers and proponents of this approach honestly stick to their own rules, their research continues to increasingly prove the improbability of their own theories. The more research is done, the more complexity is discovered. The proverbial rabbit hole seems to have no bottom. The simple interpretation of basic molecular structures seems to continually prove to be much more complicated than originally thought, and the probability that any of the most basic molecular forms of life could have originated by chance is so improbable that it goes beyond our comprehension.
