“You are My witnesses,” says the LORD, “And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me.
(Isaiah 43:10) NKJV
We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) are investigating how people regard the relationship of cause and effect by evaluating the responses we get to the question: what caused the universe?
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
(Genesis 1:2) KJV
The Big Bang isn’t an answer, because it’s an effect, not a cause. The problem with Big Bang models is that they don’t have a source of Hydrogen for nucleosynthesis. The Bible does, there was a body of water present before creation called the deep.
We all have the same evidence. Our choice of paradigm determines what we think it’s evidence of.
– Matty’s Razor
Here are some recent atheist science troll (AST) responses to the question: what caused the universe? which are similar in a very significant way: they all require the denial of cause.
The Denial of Cause
- The existence of the universe is evidence the universe exists not evidence of its causation.
- The existence of the universe is not evidence that something caused it. It is just evidence that the universe exists.
- The existence of the universe is NOT evidence of the existence of any deity. That’s as dumb as saying ‘the existence of presents is evidence of Santa’.
- As long as human curiosity remains a human trait, discovered explanations will always raise new questions. That being the case, I doubt we’ll unravel material reality all the way back to a “beginning” (a concept that may not even be very meaningful).
The “reprobate mind” in Romans 1:28 is a consequence of rejecting the relationship between cause and effect. It manifests as a refusal to acknowledge the relationship between behavior and consequences.
