God Did It! The rest is post modern chatter!

God did it! It's exactly what the Bible stated.

[Gen 1:1 ESV] "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."

Even though many in the scientific field are atheist, they can't deny the evidence that the universe and the earth had a "beginning".

They estimate according to evidence the universe to be around 14 billion years old and the earth to be around 4 billion years old.

They even confirm that a singularity in space time continuum of immense force had "exploded" and created the material universe.

To quote the late Carl Sagan, he says in his book COSMOS

At the beginning of this universe, there were no galaxies, stars or planets, no life or civilizations.”

Then added that a state of change between matter and energy had occurred and described it as

...the most awesome transformation of matter and energy that we have been privileged to glimpse.

We now call this state of change as the "big bang" theory.

Of course, since they don't believe in the existence of God, thus, they have to come up with some kind of explanation to explain away the obvious.

The obvious fact that God did it! The Creator through Jesus Christ created the "heavens and the earth".

[Col 1:16 ESV] "For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things were created through him and for him."

Thus, God is not the "god of the gaps" as some ignorantly refer to Him. No but He is the God of the WHOLE show. There was never a gap. From beginning to end He was and will always be there.

But what about those who say the Universe created itself and that it came from nothing? That there was no creator or God who created it? What about them?

All things considered, they all boil down to this - post modern chatter - static noise.

Really.

For where's the logic in saying, let alone believing that an absolute nothing can create something?

It can't be done. Not on this universe nor any other so called multi-verse.

Nothing can come out of nothing but something can produce something.

An always existing something, better yet an Always Existing Someone - God can produce something.

An ultimate source of Energy transforming it into the material universe.

Yes. God Did It and the rest is just post modern chatter.

mythical beings can't do anything, because they are made up in people's minds....i learned that in elementary school, as i thought everyone did.

There is truth in Myth; someone planted those 'mythical idea forms' to subvert the human.

a reply to: edmc^2

When they find out the Creator is also a bangin' Scientist, it's gonna seriously blow some minds.

Fractal natures, golden ratios throughout.
Crafted with care and purpose.
All falling into place.

We only know of Creation a fraction, but if we are made in His image, we have the potential to understand His Method.

Not to replace Him, but to become closer to Him.

Assuming of course, we are willing to admit our Childlike Ignorance and not get all haughty about it.

As we grow, more is revealed.

As we seek to know the Creator, we look to His Creation.
We embrace the Mysteries with wonder and awe.

Science has shown us congruent wonders.

I find Nihilism tedious.

Thank you for a wonderful glimpse into the Heavens once more.

Do you know some myths are based on reality but got exaggerated through the passage of time? For example, the Greek Mythology - their gods/demigods were based on real events. But as time went on, the stories got twisted and exaggerated to it's present form.

The Bible on the other hand is faithful even now.

Nothing can come out of nothing

So, where did god come from?
Serious question!!

Scientists agree that there was a big bang but scientists DO NOT agree on whether the big bang was the beginning of the universe.

Something scientists DO agree on universally though is that energy cannot be created or destroyed, meaning it had no beginning.

The universe and everything in it is energy on a very fundamental level, everything arises from energy, mass included. What does that say about the universe? That it cannot be created or destroyed and had no beginning just like the energy that makes up the universe.

Some scientists even speculate that the universe is eternal in nature.

No biblical God needed, only energy. But maybe the biblical God is a representation of this universal energy that permeates everyone and everything? I think so.

A book is not proof. Only believers take the Bible as proof of anything. If the Bible is the truth, why do they not include all the Books? Why are some hidden in the Vatican?
Because you get to see which parts they need you to see, to keep you in line. Why doesn't ancient Egypt have records of all their slaves leaving at once? Why do they not have records of their army dying when the sea was parted? Why is there no record of Moses? The Egyptians kept records on a daily basis, even recording the number of bushels of grain, but not one word on any of that.
Hmmm.

a reply to: edmc^2

Your argument essentially is this.



This is why many do not take religious arguments seriously at all.

You can believe what you like, but you have proven nothing, rather you have simply made an assertion which can never be proven.

100% truly agree with your statement.

The more we know the more we appreciate the Creator.

Kinda like, the more I understand how the Veyron Bugatti was put together, the more I appreciate the engineers who thought of it and put together.

Why did the creator create all the other planets in our and other solar systems?

Your question presupposes that God is a creation. God is not a creation nor the creation but the Creator. He's an Always Existing Creator. Thus He has no creator for He is the ONLY creator.

He is the ultimate source of the raw material that brought about the universe - energy transforming into matter.

EVERYTHING HAD A BEGINING!!

Every religion's creation myth has a BEGINING. Every stir, every, everything.....

That is very laziest logic..

Arnt you ignoring the inconsistencies, while squinting real hard to make the other biblical claims fit?

God created the sun and stars on the 4th day....after the oceans and earth.....

Good question!

It's there for us to find out. Like they say, we're utilizing a small portion of our brain. There's more to learn - that it will take eternity to find out.

They don't say that though, that is a urban legend that the kids just go around saying.

I would ask why he decided to make a earth that makes a habit of killing of most of it's inhabitants, but I am sure you will just respond with some wrathful god nonsense.

Science doesn't really say the universe came from nothing. They think our universe was created out of the "quantum foam" of a hyperspace, containing countless other universes.

It's the "pint of beer" example...our universe is just one of the bubbles floating in the mug. The beer would be the hyperspace or quantum foam, that generates universes.

Viodhawk: So, where did god come from? Serious question!!

It realizes does not exist UNLESS the human validates its existence (recognizes) and brings into being as a conscious form THE creator force (this is demonstrated by the Jesus overlay). This has been one of a series of problems IT has with its human creation. Some worship it (not Its intention) some deny It and the rest just don't care whether It exists or not.

One problem in what you said. It's a fact that cold will always flow from hot. So where's the source of energy then?

BTW, at quantum level - matter can be destroyed (LHC).
