To quote a renowned physicist on the telly - “There is not a physicist on earth who can truly give you an explanation for what existed before the big bang, we can tell you what happened nanoseconds after the big bang but before that we have no explanation.”

The best they can come up with is garbage like the singularity where all the matter that makes up the universe was at some time squashed into infinite density ie. it did not exist.

Don’t get me wrong, i believe in the big bang, i just differ as to how it got started. I love science - the more they discover of the complexity of everything natural, the harder it is for it to be explained away by ‘theories’ like evolution. All of nature screams out ‘design’! and yet because man is desperately trying to write a creator out of the equation his eyes are blind to the evidence. The truth is that it requires as much - if not more - faith to believe in the scientific theory of the origin of the big bang and evolution as it does to believe in a creator.

When Darwin evolved his theory nothing was known of the structure of the cell the basic biological building block. To them it was just a lump of jelly that ’somehow’ worked. A leading biologist of the time Haeckel, refered to the cell as ‘a simple little lump of albuminous combination of carbon’.

We now know that the cell is an incredibly complex structure. A self contained chemical works with its own power station (mitochondrion), selective raw material delivery and finished product despatch ports, communication system, internal transport system, biological micro machines(enzymes), central processing unit(nucleolus) including the database (Chromosomes containing DNA). Each cell is dedicated to fulfilling it’s own particular function in the body producing complex bio-chemicals from raw materials (using the INFORMATION encoded in the DNA database) as well as multiple other functions. It can also reproduce itself, and destroy itself when necessary. The various componants of the cell are refered to as ‘organella’ because they are functionally self contained units within the cell performing dedicated tasks much as the major organs do eg. liver. We have around 100 trillion cells in our body, usually all working in harmony with each other.

How does evolution explain complete complex systems that are found in nature. Every single event of evolution happens randomly. By the ‘laws’ of evolution if a newly evolved bit is useless then it naturally devolves.So a system that requires all the pieces to be in place before it can perform a useful function can never happen. And even if it were possible the odds against so many individual pieces being in place at the same point in time - by chance - are so huge that the number becomes meaningless. By comparison winning the lottery would seem a certainty.

For instance many bacteria have a device called a flagellum motor which is used to revolve it’s tail and propel the bacteria forward. This device is a biological motor complete with all the bits and pieces that you would find in an electromechanical motor - very complex. Quote from a scientist “This highly efficient flagellar motor that is far beyond the capabilities of artificial motors”. You can read an excellent secular article about it here.

Before this highly complex motor is of any use, all of it’s individual componants have to be in place (in the right order) and fully functional, this would be impossible through the process of evolution and there are thousands of these complex systems to be found in nature.

If i have a pile of raw materials available that includes everything i need to build an outboard motor this does not make them an outboard motor. The materials have to pass through many processes before they form the various componants necessary to construct the motor then they need to be assembled in the correct order etc. This requires ‘INFORMATION’ without this information - a design plan - the motor will never happen. Things are designed because of a definite need. The need leads to a design. The design leads to production. If the theory of evolution is to be believed, information is not necessary as it is possible for the tail to wag the dog - hugh? Think about that.

Imagine removing the physical universe so that we return to the state of ‘nothingness’ whatever that is. If you believe in heaven then remove that too. In effect we have removed everything that exists. So what is left. The answer is God. God is Spirit - He is not limited by time or space ie. he fills infinity and exists eternally, without beginning or end. His knowledge is without bounds and His wisdom is perfect. He can create anything. By His desire He brings things into being, creating or destroying matter and natural laws at will, or creating spiritual entities that exist in ‘heaven’ a place where He chooses to manifest His presence. A place that exists all around us but one that we naturally do not have senses to detect. One of God’s names is “I AM” and this really says it all if you think about it.

Remember that kids film I think it was called ‘The never ending story’. Because children had stopped believing in the fairy tales, the fairy tale world was gradually being swallowed up by the ‘nothing’. The concept used to intrigue me, that the existance of something could be dependant upon belief (or lack of it).

In truth ‘the nothingness’ does not really exist. All things exist in God and He is the life in all things

It is hard to get your head round, without a doubt but it is no harder to believe than ‘everything coming into being from nothing’.

So who created the creator? - no one.
