Aim of this step: To dig into the question of whether a creator possibly exists.

 

First of all, the question needs to be asked – Do you believe in a creator? To simplify this, you either believe that nothing created something; or that something created something. My thought was that out of nothing, nothing would occur.

 

Everything on earth must have come from something at some point (Science calls this the Law of Causality).

​

There are only two possibilities for anything that exists: either

1) it has always existed and is therefore uncaused, or

2) it had a beginning and was caused by something else (it can't be self-caused, because it would have had to exist already in order to cause anything). 

 

According to the overwhelming evidence, the universe had a beginning, so it must be caused by something else - by something outside of itself. 

​

If you believe, for example, that we evolved from other animals, then at what point were the original animals formed which we evolved from? Scientists believe the world is a few billion years old and some claim that they have proven it. The world must have started somewhere at some time. The question is, did “nothing” lead to “something” at some time or some place? Is it possible that time plus matter plus chance has somehow resulted in an emotional human being who ponders life’s most compelling questions?

​

Logically, it wouldn’t be possible for the world to go back infinitely. What is half of infinity? Infinity. The world has to be finite as there would always be a day before today. Hence, this suggests to us that the world cannot be infinitely old. It must have had a starting point. The next step goes into a bit more detail on this.

​

If the world has a starting point, then I suggest to you that it would take more faith to believe that nothing created the universe, than to believe that a creator of some sort brought the universe into existence.
