SCIENCE PROVES GOD’S EXISTENCE
By Francis Fawkes
Some people believe that
science goes against the Christian faith. However, true and objective - science
never goes against the truths as enshrined in God's word but confirms it.
Of all the world religions, only Judeo-Christian theology says that time has a beginning. The
Bible is the only book that describes God as a Being who creates independently
"of time, space, matter and energy." In all of the other Holy Books,
God creates with time!! As a matter of fact, in the statement: "In the
beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth,” the Latin phrase "creatio ex nihilo" is used which means "creation out of
nothing." In the original Greek we have "Pro Chronon Aionion" or
“before time eternal." In Titus 1:2 it states: "that hope that
we have in Jesus Christ was given to us before
the beginning of time. Another verse of scripture is: "The grace of God that we now experience was put into effect
BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF TIME" (2Timothy 1:9). Again, in this passage the
same three Greek words are used. There are eight places
in the Bible which state that God created time.
Many false teachers, bogus scientists and philosophers have said that the
universe always existed or that it is self-existent? Another false assertion was
that is was created independently of God. Again, nothing by and of itself
brings forth nothing - except when God intervenes.
In 1990, the Hubble telescope was launched in
space. For the first time this powerful instrument saw to the edge of the universe which is about 13.7 billion light
years away. It was an incredible discovery for this is saying that the universe
is limited or finite. It is not infinite as we all thought. According to Einstein:
"...if the universe has a beginning, it must have a beginner, hence the existence of God." Einstein further acknowledges that
length, width, height and time had to be created. Even Stephen
Hawking confirms that time had to be created!!!
The Bible also states in Genesis 1:1 "In the
beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth." That means everything
in the Cosmos.
So much for what the
scientists have to say about the limits of our physical universe; we Christian believers
know that God’s creative power is ever vaster than we can conceive. For
by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and
invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things
have been created by Him and for Him. (NASB) Colossians 1:16
