One respondent wrote: “Even the greatest of scientists are
not able to go beyond the Big Bang!” However, logical and philosophical
thinking can go beyond and recognize that order and design cannot arise out of
an explosion (Big Bang); nor can matter, time, space, energy, light, and the
laws of science.
Explosions do not generate order but disorder. They do not
create time, space, or the laws of science. They cannot even create matter,
which, from the little we understand, is highly complex, elegant, and also
subject to elegant, immutable, and universal laws.
You might argue that everything was already contained in a
minute singularity that had exploded into our universe. However, this explains
nothing. From where did this minute singularity come? What caused it to explode
in such an orderly manner before the laws of science even existed?
All of these considerations are satisfied once we begin to
consider the existence of an eternal and infinitely intelligent Designer. How?
We have some experience with the products of intelligence and those of chance
(although we have never seen chance produce anything). I would venture to say
that if we give an infinite number of cows (even monkeys) pens for an infinite
amount of time, they will never produce a line of Shakespeare, a single atom,
an inch of space, or even a moment in time. Should we expect anything more from
nothingness?
