LOL.

Out of the Silent Planet! I love CS Lewis references.

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.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. (Psalm 19:1)

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 doesn't 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.

Then the question must further break down to whether the Creator is personal or created and stepped away having no interaction with the creation. That is where the Biblical God comes in. A personal and active presence that chooses to relate with His creation.

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

Agree. God has given us ample evidence with His recorded history, His over 300 prophetic utterances that points to Christ, the miracles that Christ performed, the resurrection, the testimony of hundred of witnesses who saw the risen Christ, the acknowledgment of the Jews that they had killed the Christ, the testimony of the soldiers and the thief who acknowledge Jesus was the Son of God, the willingness of the apostles to die for this testimony, the evidence of Christ existence through the Last Supper, and the testimony of believers down through the ages.

Christianity is the only religion when its founder (Jesus Christ) claimed to be God. It is the only religion where heresy exist within the church (as predicted) to try to lead people from the truth. And it is the only one that is constantly being confirmed by archeology when many other religions have ended up in the dust heap. The scriptures which were put together by shepherds, kings, high ranking diplomats, a tax collector, a doctor, a murderer, on and on all had the same message of one great and holy God which pointed to Christ. And Christ confirmed this that they wrote about Him and no one ever challenged Him on that assertion.

Faith isn't believing in something you can't know. Faith is believing in what is plainly provided. Its just that God must open our eyes and hears to see and hear what is before us. We pray that others may come to know this great truth that Jesus Christ is indeed Lord of heaven and earth.

Heb 11:1  Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

"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.

Perhaps they react this way because to believe in a personal Creator God requires not only recognition but respect and obedience to Him? That is a bridge too far for some. They enjoy having their own autonomy and no "higher power" to answer to.

Something like that is my guess.

It’s funny that Sir Fred Hoyle was left off of that list of ‘objectors’, since he’s the one who coined the term The Big Bang.

Hoyle hated and rejected the Big Bang expressly because he spotted the eerie similarity to the opening lines of Genesis.

But...

later in his life came this:

“As part of this work, Hoyle invoked the so-called Anthropic Principle to make the remarkable prediction, based on the prevalence on Earth of carbon-based lifeforms, that there must be an undiscovered resonance in the carbon-12 nucleus which facilitates its synthesis within stars. He calculated the energy of this undiscovered resonance to be 7.6 million electron-volts, and when Fowler’s research group eventually found this resonance, its measured energy was remarkably close to Hoyle’s prediction.

“It was also this work that caused Hoyle, an atheist until that time, to begin to believe in the guiding hand of a god (what would later be called “intelligent design” or “fine tuning”), when he considered the statistical improbability of the large amount of carbon in the universe, carbon which makes possible carbon-based lifeforms such as humans.

AMEN!

A new episode of CBS' "Young Sheldon" offers a scientific explanation for why belief in a creator is logical.

I would suppose because it is illogical to believe it all could start any other way.

[Elsie]

After all; the show is called Big Bang Theory.

And just what illustrates that any better than...

Let there be LIGHT!

[Elsie]

Something from nothing is not science and illogical...

Au contraire; mon ami

Undoubtably you've heard of Einstein's famous equation:

E=mc²

And we ALL know that equations can be written in another way and still be correct.

Therefore, Albert's equation becomes

E/c²=m

Mass is created; not from Nothing; but from Energy.

I know; you ask, "From where did this energy come?", right?

[Elsie]

Well analyzed!

[Elsie]

John explained it THIS way:

Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

--John 1:3

Here is another comment …

Possibly from Paul...

Romans 1:18-20

18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

GMTA

[Elsie]

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.

Turtles; all the way down.

Yes, I should have thought of this passage. My small group just started a study of The Book of Romans and we just covered this last week. Thanks! :)

... God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made...

I do not how hard it was to WRITE this; but it has proven difficult to actually illustrate what he was referring to.
