The Existence of God: The Skeptics Unexplainable Origin of Creation

These next two weeks will concentrate on the existence of God. This is quite a popular topic of discussion, and I don’t pretend to be an authority in scholarly research concerning this. I do know that rational thought can reveal all that God wishes for us to know. That will be the focus on this topic. I know all too well how much of “educated” academia pretends that rationality can destroy any belief in a god. Contrary to that, God has given his children brains to think, and we all can use them for his glory. So read on and see how pure thinking can stimulate your mind and stir your heart for the Lord.

With that being said, there is no better way to being than the understanding of creation. One reoccurring theme of Atheism that has become popular is that the Theory of Evolution and the Big Bang have explained away the belief of an omnipotent creator-god. Since these are taught religiously in public schools and higher education, many impressionable minds are bombarded with the idea that belief in a god is for uneducated, ignorant citizens of the world. Anyone with a shred of rational thought can’t believe in such archaic absurdity. I don’t intend to fight the arguments of these theories. Many have written volumes of books on this subject. This entry in the blog will show how rational thought reveals that all that we know and see is impossible without a creator.

Imagine that you are walking in a random field. The place looks barren and has no apparent signs of life for miles. You suddenly stumble over a sharp object sticking out of the dirt. As you look at it closely, you realize that it is the tip of a metal object. After digging, you come to understand that you’ve found an ancient sword that was buried in the dirt. Now ask yourself, is it reasonable to believe that either someone made the sword and placed it there, that it somehow evolved from something else, or even just somehow came into existence out of nowhere? Naturally, we can rely on the fact that it was created at some point in time by someone. Now apply this to life and the existence of the universe. Is it rational to think that the entire world, which is so intricate, suddenly popped up into existence?

Simple logic explains this point. If any one thing exists, it must have a beginning. If any one thing has a beginning, it must have a cause. Logic leads to this conclusion: the universe exists; therefore, it had a beginning. The universe had a beginning; therefore, it had a cause. In conversations with Evolutionists and Big Bang Theorists, the argument will come up that either life evolved over time or that the Big Bang was the beginning of the universe. They are two disconnected ideas, but both are used as ammunition to shut down Theists’ belief in a creator-god. Let’s see how these arguments hold up to the steps of logic previously stated.

Where does honey come from? It comes from Bees, of course. What about oak wood? This wood is from an oak tree. Where did the bee or tree come from? They come from a previous bee and tree. But, what about them? Where do they come from? They are from another bee and tree before them. Can you see where this line of questioning leads? We are now going in circles. No matter how far we trace the previous bee or oak tree, we’re searching for the first bee and oak tree that was created by someone beyond the comprehension of our world. The bee and oak tree existed and had a beginning. Now we’re left asking what the cause is.

The Evolutionists have no grounding in this argument. They may bring up that the bee evolved from something else or the tree did likewise, but they fail to address that whatever the previous being was, where it came from or what the beginning was. As much as Evolution can attempt to explain, it can’t address the point of creation. Big Bang Theorists have a little better attempt at the explanation but not much. They believe that all can be traced back to the Big Bang but following the logic used before, what caused the Big Bang? What caused the matter that that was a part of the Big Bang?

These logical questions, though they may seem simplistic to some, are detrimental to science’s skeptical stance against the idea of a creator. While the theories of Evolution and the Big Bang hold attractive benefits for skeptics, they have major holes that can’t, no matter how much they try, support the possibility of there being no god. What some consider irreproachable scientific theories takes more faith to believe than the truth of Jesus Christ.

This is entry is only a fragment of deep discussion concerning the existence of God. If anyone has questions about sources or further readings, contact The Zealot’s Path. Remember that God is with us always, and he gives us the tools to understand him better and spread his word. We are all confronted at times with challenging questions that seem more than we can handle, but his Spirit is there to guide us and work through us for his glory. Be brave and use the mind that God has given you.
