“Let there be light,” and the Word of the Almighty God created His perfect universe. It takes more faith in the chaos of chance resulting in this complex universe than in the power of God creating it in His magnificent order.
God did not MONKEY with any physics! He created the universe from the beginning—so it will WORK, and so it will be a home for LIFE!!!!
Unfortunately, a bloody ATHEIST designed the Wall Street Journal’s paywall—so that few people will be able to read this article! PHOOEY, PHOOEY, and PHOOEY again!!!!
Good article, pretty much says it all.
To me there are only two possibilities:
God created the visible universe.
The visible universe is one of a vast multitude of such collections in the multiverse.
Those who say “no god and no multiverse” have no logical ground to stand on.
(The multiverse doesn’t necessarily exclude god, but it is the only godless explanation possible.)

> Fred Hoyle, the astronomer who coined the term “big bang,” said that his atheism was “greatly shaken” at these developments. He later wrote that “a common-sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a super-intellect has monkeyed with the physics, as well as with chemistry and biology . . . . The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question.”
If athiests would just step away from their computers, iPhones and iPads every once in awhile and get outdoors and observe nature they would quickly conclude that there is a God. Nature proves it time and time again to me.
I’m glad I’ve made many posts to FR, and other places, that science is slowly catching up to the Bible.
It’s so bizarre now, the assumption that science and God are opposite notions. Perhaps the two greatest scientists ever - Newton and Einstein - both believed in a creator God. Newton in fact wrote more about end times prophecy than he did science...like a million published words.
I believe the big bang theory started out as something called the “cosmic egg”. It was originally an idea proposed by Georges Lemaitre, a Belgian Roman Catholic priest, who was also an astronomer:

Personally, I think the idea of the entire universe starting out as a singular super condensed blob, is absolutely ridiculous.
If anyone wants more great info on this - Google Chuck Missler and/or go to www.KHouse.org - he has some brilliant dissertations on science and the Bible.
Apply Oczam’s Razor to the 2 explanations for the creation of the Universe, God or chance.
Out of quintillions of Universes that had a chance to start, this may be the only one that resulted in planets and life as we know it. Or it could be one of quintillions of universes/planets that did result in life and the Universe has been restarting for some near-infinite amount of time. Or some creative force made everything exactly the way it is once. No way to know from our current perspective.
IMO, the “God” and “creator” questions are not answerable to us in any present understanding of consciousness, space and time. All of our scientific observations will eventually lead to some infinite trivialities that are a tossup between infinite randomness or a divine creator. IMO, it is far beyond either theory and is something that will require a whole different perception of reality to understand
For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
The evidence points to a deist God and that infuriates creationists just as much as atheism.
Well, that’s been so for quite a while.
A great book on the subject is “Genesis and the Big Bang” (1991) by Gerald Schroeder. He takes on the description of the Creation in Genesis in great detal, and also takes on evolution. On the latter, he says that the “development” of organic matter from inorganic matter is far less likely than one species of animal developing a brand new characteristic from nowhere (and the chances of that are virtually nil). He also shows how the rabbis of the 5 almond knew that the universe was over 14 billion years old, NOT only a few thousand. GREAT book, I highly recommend it for believers and non-believers.
Case for a creator bump....
If the big bang did happen how did water exist after all that heat has to be a better answer than the bang.
How was God created?
