I was browsing the news as my younger grandson, Arnav, worked away on lego pieces. After quite some time he was able to assemble not only a strange looking vehicle but also a driver with a cap on his head. He then looked up, tapped me on my leg and asked, "Did God make me?" "Some people like to believe that all of us have been made by God," I responded. "Did He make my bones too?" he continued. "Bones are part of you, aren't they?" I replied. The dialogue then went on like this.
"Did He make the dinosaurs too."
"The believers say that all that has ever been there was made by Him."
"So were all the insects and plants too made by Him?"
"All includes plants and insects."
"So it is He who made the whole universe?"
"That is what the believers say."
At this his mouth fell open and he went into contemplation; probably about the backbreaking work that God had been doing without a break. Finally he looked at me, and asked, "Is God still alive?"
