I'm not arguing for or against evolution but I don't understand why the universe could be here just because it's here. Doesn't it seem like there should be some type of higher intelligence to create the universe? It just doesn't seem right that all of space would be here just because it is.
Either the universe has existed eternally or something else that has existed eternally created the universe.
The big bang, which has been proven, suggests that the universe had a beginning. If it had a beginning, it could not have existed eternally.
There are numerous theories that seek to combine the big bang and an eternal universe, but none have been proven as of yet. So to the best of our current scientific knowldege, the universe began in the big bang. So the question is, who/what started the big bang? I believe that God did.
Some people in this thread have misused the idea of cause and effect. The law of cause and effect states, "every effect must have a cause."
It does not say "
everything must have a cause, just every
effect must a have a cause.
This answers the question, who created God? Since God is not an effect, he does not have to have a cause. He has always been.
As for the vast size of the universe, it shows the power of God and also the importance that he places on people. He thinks people are so important that he created this huge universe just for us.
If you say there are no absolutes, I ask you, are you absolutely sure about that?
