       Now, Hinduism is an older, ancient religion—possibly dating as far back as 2,600 B.C., but definitely alive and well by 1750 B.C. So, now were getting into something that seems more plausible. But perhaps the core essence of the problem with Hinduism is that it allows the individual person to define God—for him or her to see what as he or she wants to. Such a so called ‘freedom’ denies natural laws of order and design. Really, there isn’t much order with Hinduism. I have already explained that absolute truth exists—but Hinduism would deny or ignore this. Consequently, it doesn’t really seem to match the order of things that we see in nature. Its own texts themselves state that it really cannot be known how the universe was created, or who God, or the gods, really are. So, how can we depend on this? So, of the major world religions, this leaves us with the Jewish God.
