Atheism and the origin of the universe (view source)
Revision as of 10:31, October 2, 2016
, 10:31, October 2, 2016→The agnostic Ron Rosenbaum on atheism and the origin of the universe
Faced with the fundamental question: "Why is there something rather than nothing?" atheists have faith that science will tell us eventually. Most seem never to consider that it may well be a philosophic, logical impossibility for something to create itself from nothing.<ref>[http://www.slate.com/articles/life/the_spectator/2010/06/an_agnostic_manifesto.html An Agnostic Manifesto] by Ron Rosenbaum, ''Slate''</ref>}}

{{Cquote|Science tells us that whatever begins to exist, must have a cause. Science also tells us that the universe has not existed forever. In other words, it had a cause. How can matter come into existence from nothing? That is one question that science will never be able to answer. They will forever be saying “we’re getting closer”, but they will never be able to answer how the universe came into existence. The Bible gives us the answer. We can read in Genesis 1:1 that “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” The word for “created” means “made from nothing”. He spoke, and it came into existence. This may seem fanciful or fairytale-like, but it makes more sense than any of the far-fetched theories that so-called scientists have come up with to explain the origins of the universe. To believe most of those, you have to throw out all logic and reason, and turn off your critical thinking skills. Who would you rather believe, some scientists who will live, on average, maybe 70 or so years, or the great God who was there when everything was made, and nothing was made without Him?<ref>[http://roncemer.com/theology/atheism-is-ignorance/ Atheism is Ignorance] by Ron Cermer</ref>}}
