The invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, are clearly seen

No matter what you think or believe about evolution, the popular understanding that it has disproved God is actually a bunch of nonsense! The point is that whatever is true about evolution merely describes the mechanism that he used to create and/or designed to evolve! That’s not to say there are not things about evolution that I would not want to dispute. But if, as scientists are now telling us, the universe had a beginning, then it must have had a beginner, and that should settle the matter.

One hundred years ago, science was telling us that the universe was eternal, that it always existed. It was called the steady state theory. In the end Einstein’s theory of relativity overthrew this, but even Einstein had a hard time coming to grips with it. Nobody today believes in the steady-state theory. This is encouraging in two ways; first of all it demonstrates that science has the capacity to correct itself (but it can take a very long time); secondly it underlines what I have already said that a beginning implies the existence of one who caused the beginning. This is simply an application of the scientific principle of cause and effect.

Now not everybody accepts what I have just said, but the explanations that are given to try and get round the now universally accepted fact of a beginning, can hardly be said to be scientific. In trying to explain the “coincidence” that the universe appears to be specifically designed for life for example, the theory of the multi-verse has been put forward. The point is if there are enough possible different universes, then by chance, one would expect to find one like ours.

Three points here: firstly because of the estimated probabilities of it all happening by chance, there would have to be an almost infinite number of such independent and unobservable universes; the second point follows from the first, and that is by definition each one of these is unobservable so that there is not and cannot be any evidence for the same; and thirdly even if the multiverse exists you still have to ask the question “Where did the multi-verse come from?” So in fact all you have done is pushed the question further back!

The modern, as opposed to the original, basic presupposition of science is called methodological naturalism.” From the Internet: Methodological naturalism is a strategy for studying the world, by which scientists choose not to consider supernatural causes - even as a remote possibility.

Reasons are given for this of course, and most of the time they make perfect sense. But not if you try and apply them to the beginning of the universe. In fact, with our current understanding of science, there are only two basic possibilities: the first, is that something or someone created everything that is, out of nothing. The second, is that nothing, created everything that is, out of nothing!

Even people as extreme as Richard Dawkins admit that the universe looks designed. It amazes me how much denial and rationalization goes into the rejection of what is perfectly obvious. As Paul says in Romans 1, the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen by the things that are made (us), so we are without excuse!
