Do Other Worlds and God exist?

For ages, for as long as we know we existed, we have believed that there are worlds beyond our comprehension and there are beings who move across those inexplicable realms and back and forth between our and their worlds. We have been told of these entities, we were told to respect some and fear others. We were also told that there is one being above every other being from whom permeate all things, both comprehensible and incomprehensible. We named this ultimate of all beings, God. This being, God, and every other being of the other realms has caught our imagination for long. Human beings made war and peace in these beings' name.
Along the course of history there have been very few people who questioned the veracity of these beings, laws of our society are thought to have been created and passed down by these beings. All this went along until the dawn of reasoning in Europe in the middle ages. People started seeking explanations to everything they saw around, this was good as it started providing solutions to many problems that were hitherto thought to be insurmountable. As more problems were being solved, people began questioning more and more things which ultimately also lead to the questioning of alternate worlds and gods. Finally, the idea that there exists anything beyond what our senses can perceive was dropped and became a blasphemy to be talked about in educational institutions.
This perception is once again being challenged because of events that we are coming across in scientifically sound areas of research, being carried out by some very credible scientists.
There are unanswerable questions that have sprung up as a result of this research. The two most interesting areas where the most difficult questions or theories have sprung up are research about Near Death Experiences (NDE) and computer simulation.
Computer simulation sounds like a very unlikely candidate that might have implications towards the propositions for a creator. But it really is, it perhaps is the only theory that inadvertently proposes that there is intelligence at work behind everything we see. The theory has been made quite famous by the movies 'The Thirteenth Floor' and 'Matrix Trilogy'. The theory goes like this......if our computing power increases exponentially like the way it is today, we will eventually reach a point where we will be able to simulate instances of the real things happening around us, and further on, we may even run the entire universe as a simulation inside a large computer.
This is no mean joke! it is a current phenomenon, we today have such immense computing power that we can simulate climatic conditions with millions of parameters only thought of in science fiction a few decades ago. We certainly will reach a point in time where we would be able to create thinking entities inside computers and randomize their thought process to finally create a simulation that would spawn real instances and real scenarios that spring up while cognizant entities interact with one another. From this prospect arises a proposition........the world we see today could actually be a simulation inside a super colossal computer whose program has been pieced together by a single or multiple intelligent entities!! This theory does inadvertently point to the possibility of intelligent creation.
The other kind of research that also points to a creator and other forms of alternate worlds is the research into Near Death Experiences. NDEs are the most intriguing phenomenon ever to have been witnesses by human beings. NDEs were being reported by a lot of people since time immemorial but only in recent decades have caught the eyes of scientific researchers. They started being discussed in scientific circles after we had improved methods of resuscitating patients from failures related to heart and various other organs in the body.
Let me explain NDEs a bit, these are reported by people who are on the brink of death. It is to be noted that the definition of death is open to debate as we keep mastering various techniques of increasing people's lives and improve various medical treatments to conditions that were previously thought to be fatal. Some people who are on the brink of death report that they have left their bodies, seen what was happening around them, felt going through a tunnel towards a light, felt overwhelming peace, seen their entire lives roll before them in a jiffy, and most importantly.....met a being of light whose presence itself creates overwhelming joy and peace. People who come back to life post this experience, experience a change in perception towards life and other people around.
NDEs have been most extensively studied by the Dutch cardiologist Dr. Pim Van Lommel. Van Lommel reports that NDEs were reported by people who were clinically dead with no brain activity whatsoever and heart activity as well. It is reported that people blind from birth were able to see what happened to them on operation tables when they could never have imagined what real world objects look like to the eye.
This is overwhelming evidence to the fact that consciousness exists outside of the brain and independent of it and that it continues it's existence post death. Classical theories about consciousness stipulate that consciousness is a by-product of the brain function and that consciousness would cease to exist after death.
These things discussed so far unequivocally point to the fact that there are things beyond out materialistic comprehension, there are things that can only be explained if we break the barrier of materialism imposed upon us for the past couple of centuries.
Finally an instance from a controversial documentary by Ben Stein, "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed"....Richard Dawkins, probably the most ardent atheist and rationalist of our times goes on to say in the interview to Ben Stein that life on earth could have been planted here by some higher form of intelligent beings, who themselves would have been brought into existence by some explicable process, inturn again, by some other form of intelligence!! . But Richards Dawkins refuses to call the intelligence 'GOD'. This leaves a lot of room for thought, only thing needed is a will to step out of the horizontal and think vertical as has always been urged by the most illuminated minds in human history.
