Question: Why Does the Universe Exist?

Scientists that believe in the "Big Bang" theory have it partially right... They claim that all of the matter in the Universe was contained in a super dense particle perhaps as small as an atom and perhaps as large as the head of a pin. Some call this infinite regression of matter. Actually, true infinite regression would require that that it would regress to "nothing". This accounts for the .00000000000000000001 of a second (Or whatever the new number happens to be..) that they admit that they have no knowledge about.

The "infinite regression to nothing" theory agrees in part, with the Bible. The Bible tells us that the Creator created the Universe from "nothing", that He "spoke" the Universe into existence. The Creator also created all of the laws that man has discovered and many that man has yet to discover. This is what keeps our Solar System, our Galaxy, and the Billions of other Galaxies moving in a predictable and orderly fashion.

The question then arises.. Who created the Creator? That answer is simple and is also found in the Bible. The Creator is eternal. He is without beginning and without ending. God has always existed, and always will exist. God is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. Which means He is all knowing, all powerful, and that his presence is not limited by time and space.

One answerer to this question said that "God created the Universe for His glory" and they are absolutely right. So, now we have the "what", "how", and "why" the Universe exists.

Another answerer to this question suggested that the Universe could "shrink back to nothing" again and the cycle could be repeated... This theory is partially correct, too... Because the Bible says that, in the Creator's own time, the Universe is going to "burn up" and God will create a "new Heaven, and a new Earth". This, of course, answers the question: "What is going to happen to the existing Universe?"

Great post Dad.. A short and directly to the point case for intelligent design.

Thanks, David. It's my personal opinion that in your lifetime, maybe even mine.. That the evolutionism that is being taught in the secular Universities today will be tossed into the junkpile of dumb ideas.

It wasn't that many years ago that in order to be considered an "elite scientist" you had to believe that the Earth was flat. And more recently, you had to believe in "spontaneous generation" (maggots spontaneously generated from rotting carcuses). And even more recently, that you could cure infections of the body by "blood letting".

In my opinion the theory of evolution will be put in the same category as these false theories.
