Hmm. I wonder if my Sunday School teacher watched this show. The last few weeks he starts every lesson off with what the goal of God (and us) is “To fill the earth with the the loving character of God.”
But this morning he said - and by “the earth” - it means ALL of creation. So yes - missionaries on space ships!”
I didn’t ask him any details about that afterwards!
Ask Sheldon how everything came from nothing as in the Big Bang Theory.
Something from nothing is not science and illogical...
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.
If you do the math, you find logic in EVERYTHING, and the math and logic didn’t just come from nowhere.

This show is still on the air?
I keep reading that they are ‘in their final season’, year after year.
Well this is the idiocy of the script.
If he concludes its logical to believe in a creator because a,b, and c,
and he still does not,
what is logical about him not believing in a creator? By definition of his own explanation he’s being illogical.
And how is that to be a defended position for him?
He has to admit his position is not based on logic, but because he is refusing the evidence because he doesnt want to believe in a creator.
Sheldon then insisted that he wanted to help his mother by providing a fresh perspective.
“Did you know that if gravity was slightly more powerful the universe would collapse into a ball? Also if gravity was slightly less powerful the universe would fly apart and there’s be no star or planets,” he explained.
Adding, “Gravity is precisely as strong as it needs to be and if the ratio of the electromagnetic force to the strong force wasn’t one percent, life wouldn’t exist, what are the odds that would happen all by itself?”
When asked why he is trying to convince his mother that there is a God when he doesn’t believe himself, Sheldon responded, “I don’t but the precision of the universe at least makes it logical to conclude there’s a creator.”

If you don’t believe in a Higher Power, all you are left with is Coincidence.
One heck of a Coincidence. Like picking the Winning Powerball Numbers every week for as long as you are alive.
Research the fifty-four Universal Constants. As a Physicist said, regarding the repeated odds of Thrillions x trillions x trillions to one, “There is either a Multi-Verse or a God.
Young Sheldon is simply explaing the 3rd of 5 ways that St. Thomas Aquinas says our natural reason tells us there is a Creatire.
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.
:: 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.
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)
I would suppose because it is illogical to believe it all could start any other way.
