What is the ultimate truth of things?

If you are one of those who one day did ask themselves this question, and one of those who do believe in science and logic, then you have to consider Einstein's revolutionary "Theory of Relativity".

In this theory Einstein did state that the speed of an objects is relative to its 3D position. In other words, if you are sitting in a train which is moving in speed of 170 Km/hour then you are not sitting in relation to ground (earth), but you are moving, and that makes your speed 170km also. Then what about the train itself? He said that if an astronomer is floating outside the earth, and the earth is moving, then to him the train is moving + or – the speed of the revolving speed of the planet earth (according to the train's direction of moving). Also you can't say what the speed of the earth itself is till you know the speed of the galaxy it is placed in…etc

Similarly, any thing we have in our life and we consider as norm, is actually nothing but our own interpretation to it using our limited range of senses and tools. So nothing on this earth is not negotiable, we are actually not doing any thing but refining our definitions about things, not totally defining them.

This leads us to a conclusion, that who ever knows the ultimate truth of some thing; must be aware of what ever is superior to it, and the final High/Low of it. Also this leads to a truth that, as far as our senses are limited in their range, our brains also should be limited due to the limitation of our senses.

My question is:
If this is the case, why is it so difficult to believe in the existence of Allah?

I think u have already mentioned that our knowledge is limited to what we know & what other let us know by any chance, but in the same time there are many things we don't know cauz we didn't think of it as an important thing or needed to know.
So some ppl can look around them think & then belive the existence of God, other need some one to explain for them & convience them by proovment close to their limited understanding..
For example I've read this story some where about a barber who was asking a customer if u really belive God does exisit why there are many poor & needy ppl around, why he doesn't help them??
The man went out & found a dirty man with long shaggy haire & brought him to the barber & asked him there r no barber exist in this area?? The barber siad how come?? I'm the barber in this area..
The customer asked him: so why do u think this man haire looks this way??
The barber said: Cauz he didn't come to me!
The customer answered: Exactly!! So how do u think God will help u & help the needy & poor ppl if u didn't ask him to do so?? By worshipping & pray?!
