Does Science Prove That The Universe Created Itself?

How can we know anything about anything

To try to explain truth to him who loves it not is but to give him more plentiful material for misinterpretation. George Macdonald

Do we have to make a choice between science and the Bible?

NO!

That is NOT where the problem is, but that is what everyone seems to want to talk about.

Take science as an example. How can we know anything about the created material world around us?

How can we know anything from what we can see using natural sciences?

We all see the same things in the material world, but we don't come to the same answers.

Why is that?

How can we know anything about the Bible and what it teaches? Every person believes different things about the Bible and how it should be read.

Why is that?

Same scientific facts. Different answers.

Same Bible. Different answers.

Why is that?

The true question is this: How do we come to our answers that we get from what we can see through science or what we can read in the Bible?

How do we think about what we see using science or what we read in the Bible?

How do we analyze what we have seen and read?

How do we interpret what we have seen and read?

We use logic, but logic always has a foundation. Jesus talked about building on the Rock. That Rock is Jesus Christ. He is the true foundation. There are also the false foundations of the ungodly.

An example might help.

Question: Why do you believe in evolution?

Answer: Because my science teacher told me that evolution is scientific fact.

Question: Why do you believe your science teacher?

Answer: because he agrees with the textbook he assigned us to read.

Now, we have asked, "Why?" twice.

If we continued to ask, "Why?" we would come down to the foundation of this person's thoughts.

When we get down to the foundations, there are no more questions that can be answered. So where to the foundations come from?

There are three possibilities.

1. things that we make up, pulled from the air
2. demonic lies
3. divine revelation

Question: Why do you believe in creation?

Answer: Because God revealed this to me. He spoke to me through the Bible and gave me His faith so that I could believe Him.

See how quickly we got to the foundation. This is a belief that has a foundation that is solid and that cannot be moved.

In reality, the things that we make up, that are pulled from the air, are actually from demons and all the lies of demons spring from the prince of demons, Satan. So these are one and the same.

Divine revelation comes from the Almighty, Creator, God, Jesus Christ. So there are only two choices, but how do we know there are only two choices? Because God has revealed this truth to us.

The question then is how do we tell the difference between the revelation that comes from God and the lies of Satan?

The answer is that everyone who sincerely wants to do the will of God will know.

Jesus said, "If you really want to obey God, you will know if what I teach comes from God or from me"

The rejection of the revelation that comes from God is not an intellectual problem. It is a moral problem.

Jesus said, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you: For everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it shall be opened." *

Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to those who ask him? Matthew 7:7-11 *

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. You can set the truth before someone, but you can't make anyone believe those things that they don't want to submit to. They have to want to obey God.

How frequently it is brought to our attention that nothing good can be done if the will is wrong! Reason alone fails to justify itself. Richard M. Weaver

Jesus said, "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" (John 8:32)

"If we are not prepared to buy the truth at the cost of our own humbling we shall not receive it"

Lies appear to have no price upon them. They seem cheap and they abound everywhere. But for the truth there is always an obvious price to pay.

"[God] has set a day when He will judge all the world's people with fairness. And He has chosen the man Jesus to do the judging for Him. God has given proof of this to all of us by raising Jesus from death" (Acts 17:31).

"There is a judge for the one who rejects Me [Jesus] and does not accept My words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day" (John 12:48)

That also stands for every person who speaks the utterances of Jesus. When we hear them, we hear Jesus Christ, and we either accept or reject. Every person who follows Jesus Christ is commanded to only speak His utterances and not their own.

"When we love others, we know that we belong to the truth, and we feel at ease in the presence of God" (1 John 3:19)

Ravi Zacharias did two open forums in a university. On the second night, one man told him that he had brought two Atheists in the night before who said that the arguments presented were so strong that they could not contend with them, but they were going to remain Atheists because that is what they prefer to be true.

In another case of just listening to an unbeliever and drawing out his reasoning, the unbeliever finally came to his foundations.

They turned out to be assumptions that were pulled from the air. When asked why he believed his basic assumption, the unbeliever looked startled and blurted out, "I guess I'm making the whole thing up." It was quite a revelation to him since he hadn't even known that he had any assumptions. However, he decided to remain an Atheist because he didn't want God to rule over him.

Science's business is to investigate the constitution of the universe, and cannot pronounce on any concept that lies ‘beyond’ nature. 

 

Science is supposed to based on observation and measurement.  Observation and measurement can only be performed in the present.  Anything that occured in the past is beyond nature and outside the scope of science.  Scientists are aware of this, but because of the confirmation bias of many of them, they continue to try to show evidence for a religious idea, the idea that the universe created itself, when this idea is beyond the scope of science.  As a result, they are willingly ignorant of the truth and they seek to suppress the truth, which fulfills the prophecy found in the Bible.

 

The scientists have been working very hard to find a way that all of creation could have been created without a creator. The Secularist scientists have come up with one theory after another only to find that somehow their theories, one by one, were disproved and shown to be impossible. Of course, Secularism says that there is no real Almighty Creator God, so, for a Secularist, believing in God does not make any sense at all. Secularists think that they are more intelligent, because believing in a God, Who cannot be seen, must be crazy—at least so they say.

 

So now they have a new theory of the stars and how they got there. As you read this, keep in mind that the people who believe what you are reading here are making fun of Christians who believe in God. They think that they are more intelligent than Christians who believe the Bible. What follows is a very interesting belief system of the Secularist scientists.

 

The Secularist scientists believe that, billions of years ago, there was a great abundance of something they call "dark matter." Dark matter is a kind of mysterious unknown stuff that cannot be detected in any way. Secular scientists know that dark matter must be flying around because all their calculations don't make any sense, so dark matter is a kind of finagle factor to make up for this lack of understanding.  Sometimes when a group of educated people make up a sort of placeholder, like dark matter, they forget that it was just a pipe dream.  Anyway, back to our story: Billions of years ago, this mysterious substance, dark matter, began to collide and fuse, forming the first stars by a mysterious process that we cannot understand. This dark matter and it's mysterious process has never been observed, of course. The miniature particles that make up the mysterious dark matter are called wimps, so the wimps created the stars and, in the process, many of the wimps were destroyed. By a mysterious process in the minds of these same scientists, they came up with the idea that the stars must have looked very different at that time. Keep in mind, once again, that these are the people who find the belief in God to be unbelievable.

 

These are the kinds of things that sound as if one were being sarcastic. As long as the Secularists and Evolutionists keep coming up with these zany ideas, there is no need for sarcasm.  What makes this really weird is that these folks make fun of those who believe the Bible as it is written, even calling us names to show how silly we are for believing the Bible.
