'Big Bang Theory' Spinoff 'Young Sheldon' Offers Scientific Explanation for Why God Exists

A brutal analysis of your statements mean scientists must have faith in what they currently believe is right.

Its the same kind of faith people gave that believe in God, because believers don’t have blind faith either, its based history and evidence as well. God doesnt demand blind obedience and faith in him without evidence

Modern secular scientists just prefer to put their faith in ever changing science instead of God. Past scientists saw the order and logic and saw God from their observations.

What it really means is persons interpreration of things based on what they are desirous to believe will influence how they see “evidence” for what they want to believe.

[Secret Agent Man]

Which destroys his argument because he’s railing afainst faith in the fiest place. He becomes a hypocrite.

[ozaukeemom]

This is the final season. It was confirmed.

[DennisR]

My believing stepson respectfully asked my militant, atheist brother-in-law what the probability is of life having been formed from basically nothing. My brother-in-law’s non-answer? “It’s 100%, because life exists.”

Nice pivot, eh?

Who can study the magnificent precison about us and not see the fine hand and the great mind of the ‘clockmaker’ at work?

The answer I like best was this exchange from Star Trek DS9

Kira Nerys: That’s the thing about faith. If you don’t have it you can’t understand it, and if you do – no explanation is necessary.

[alstewartfan]

God’s existence is a certainty. The NATURE of God is all that is left to discuss.

[HapaxLegamenon]

Young Sheldon is simply explaing the 3rd of 5 ways that St. Thomas Aquinas says our natural reason tells us there is a Creatire.

[Hardastarboard]

I believe in God because liberals don’t, and they are literally wrong about everything. Everything. That alone is enough proof for me as if he had paid me a personal visit and demanded my attention.

You do realize Sheldon is a character and not a real person.....right?

:: They agreed that Jesus came to save everyone in the universe but if aliens do not have sin then they do not need atonement. ::

Can it be any more clear? Can we get an AMEN?

Just in case anyone wants to Google it, it is called the teleological principle. From the Greek word Telos which means the end of something. The intricate interplay of physical laws is designed to the end of supporting human life the argument goes.

In John 19:30 Jesus said “Telestai” it is finished/complete/ended.

[adorno]

Nope! Those “equations” are wrong and too simple-minded. ;)

God’s math is beyond the simplicity of the human mind.

[Phil DiBasquette]

Yes, when they crack the irreducibly complex DNA code let us know

Sounds like some Big Bang script writer might have been reading Robert Jastrow's 'God and the Astronomers'.

In fact, agnostic astrophysicist Robert Jastrow might be who the show modeled Sheldon after.

"In God and the Astronomers, Dr. Robert Jastrow, world-renowned astrophysicist, describes the astronomical discoveries of recent years and the theological implications of the new insights afforded by science into mankind's place in the cosmos. He explains the chain of events that forced astronomers, despite their initial reluctance ("Irritating," said Einstein; "Repugnant," said the great British astronomer Eddington; "I would like to reject it," said MIT physicist Philip Morrison) to accept the validity of the Big Bang and the fact that the universe began in a moment of creation.

Quite familiar with Jastrow. Here is another comment ...

Now we see how the astronomical evidence supports the biblical view of the origin of the world. The details differ, but the essential elements in the astronomical and biblical accounts of Genesis are the same: the chain of events leading to man commenced suddenly and sharply at a definite moment in time, in a flash of light and energy.

There is a strange ring of feeling and emotion in these reactions [of scientists to evidence that the universe had a sudden beginning]. They come from the heart whereas you would expect the judgments to come from the brain. Why? I think part of the answer is that scientists cannot bear the thought of a natural phenomenon which cannot be explained, even with unlimited time and money. There is a kind of religion in science; it is the religion of a person who believes there is order and harmony in the Universe. Every event can be explained in a rational way as the product of some previous event; every effect must have its cause, there is no First Cause. … This religious faith of the scientist is violated by the discovery that the world had a beginning under conditions in which the known laws of physics are not valid, and as a product of forces or circumstances we cannot discover. When that happens, the scientist has lost control. If he really examined the implications, he would be traumatized.

Consider the enormity of the problem. Science has proved that the universe exploded into being at a certain moment. It asks: What cause produced this effect? Who or what put the matter or energy into the universe? And science cannot answer these questions, because, according to the astronomers, in the first moments of its existence the Universe was compressed to an extraordinary degree, and consumed by the heat of a fire beyond human imagination. The shock of that instant must have destroyed every particle of evidence that could have yielded a clue to the cause of the great explosion.

For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.

Also, here is an incredible video that details the information mentioned by Sheldon and much much more.

From the show, "Faith means believing in something you can't know for sure is real, and right now I am struggling with that," Mary told her boy.

Biblical faith is confidence based upon a evidential warrant (the very basis for atheistic denial of a Creator). but which leads to surety.

God made His reality clearly manifest to Israel before leading them out, and then calling them into covenant with Him, as did Christ to Peter and other seekers. Meanwhile the warrant for Matthew's decision to respond to "Follow Me" likely was his tested intuition, which was affirmed as true, while for other seekers such as the Ethiopian Eunuch of Acts 8, it was the supernatural testimony of Scripture, as explained by a God-sent evangelist.

God knows what manifestation of grace is needed for the elect to take a step of faith in conversion, which is then confirmed, and which is to lead to more warranted steps of faith, both for soon deliverance as well as in trials of long continuance.

Meanwhile the lost will be condemned based upon the light they had and disobeyed when they could have obeyed it, (Genesis 4:7; Proverbs 1:20-33) and in so doing they have in essence rejected Christ, "the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." (John 1:9)

The Big Bang theory was first postulated by a catholic priest who believed it showed gods creation.

Think it goes back a bit further than that...In the beginning God said let there be....

The Earth is enough, and its own story. There are many rooms in the mansion. This room is enough for me.

Should my neighbors visit and want to start a conversation, that’s another matter.

One interesting point raised in the movie Contact: A civilization advanced enough to pull off either interstellar travel or interdimensional travel may regard us at the same level as we humans might regard ants in an anthill.

Another at the table in that scene countered, “And we would give it another thought if we were to step on that anthill?”

Robert Baden Powell recognized that if an enemy had the humility to recognize a creator, something bigger than them that was responsible for their existence, then there was a hope that those to adversaries could find a common peace.

Where there was an enemy that saw their own people as being superior, there was no hope.

Here’s to our neighbors and their humility.

Kira Nerys: That’s the thing about faith. If you don’t have it you can’t understand it, and if you do – no explanation is necessary.

Which is not Biblically true. There is no one without faith, which Biblically is not belief without evidence (as atheistic sources may define it), but as said in my last post, it is confidence based on a degree of evidential warrant.

An atheist beliefs his denial is warranted on the basis of naturalistic explanations, and what he/she sees as a lack of compelling evidence for a Creator, though such may postulate a "space seed" hypothesis.

But such cannot evidence how a universe could exist without a First Cause, and their arguments for its complexity on the basis of naturalistic explanations are far from compelling.

[Kartographer]

Nothing in the quote says that ones belief is true or must be true. A persons belief can be false and yet their faith in that belief is true will be unshakable.

No faith alone does not make something true, but true faith is unshakable.
