Blue Earth + Green Sun
The Perfect Pair!
Glorious Day My Precious Fellow Traveler -
I’m still slaving away at perfecting my movie, The Invisible Everywhere: Believing Is Seeing. I’m making excellent progress and hope to finish before Christmas. I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, please keep the movie in your prayers. Thank you!
Prologue
In 1929 the American attorney-turned-astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered shocking evidence that our universe had a definite beginning. Before that, science’s age-old dogma was that the universe was timeless: What we see today has always existed and will always exist.
Hubble’s revelation forced scientists to explain how the universe came into being. What or who could have possibly created it from nothing?
To this day, there really are just two main choices. You can believe either: (A) the universe is a chance creation, forged miraculously and accidently by purposeless, natural forces, or (B) the universe is a masterpiece created miraculously and intentionally by a purposeful, supernatural artist.
If you choose to believe A, you have to explain how the purposeless natural forces themselves came into being. Modern cosmologists explain it by choosing to believe in a quantum vacuum, a supernatural-like phenomenon they describe as being both nothing and everything at the same time.
But that, in turn, forces them to explain how the quantum vacuum itself came into being. They do this by claiming that “nothing” is unstable. That with time, “nothing” inevitably and magically flowers into “everything,” hence - voilà - the quantum vacuum.
If you choose to believe B, you have to explain where the purposeful, supernatural artist came from. The Bible offers us the perfect, supremely economical explanation: God, the artist, is a spaceless, timeless being. Which is to say, God is not merely a being who’s been around forever, he actually and altogether exists outside of time.
Persons who choose to believe A invariably complain that B is a supernatural explanation, not a scientific one, and is therefore not credible. But modern science - with its recourse to such fantastical ideas as the quantum vacuum - has completely obliterated the distinction between natural and supernatural.
There’s a great deal of evidence to support believing B - far more so, in fact, than the evidence supporting A. I explain this in my book Believing Is Seeing.
In my long, winding journey from Atheism to Christianity, I discovered that some of the most profound evidence supporting B is scientifically technical. But, here, I’ll give you two very practical, easy-to-grasp examples of such evidence.
