Post by George.AnthonyPost by sticksAs far as Rogan, I find it interesting he knows as much as he does about
the topic. He actually knew the CMB (cosmic microwave background)
exists as evidence of the big bang. He walked right up to the edge, and
then fell short of asking the next question, of which there are several.
But in this interview, the next logical question is where did the pin
head of all material and whatever caused it to go bang come from? Too
bad he didn't go there.
That has always been my issue, although I don’t dwell on it. I have always
believed you can’t create something from nothing so how did the first
something get created? Same for a superior being who, according to
theologians, has always been here. Even with my superior intellect, it
boggles the mind.
I believe you are correct that both sides, the naturalists and the
creationists, have to answer the question in some form. Here's how I
see it. If you follow the where did the stuff come from question to the
end (or in this case the beginning), there is not going to be an
acceptable answer for people like us, which is why the naturalists use
the brute fact that it has always been here. They will never consider
anything outside their naturalism, especially something supernatural.
The problem for me is that the scientific evidence shows information and
intelligence was necessary for these things to have occurred, and thus I
am willing to look into other areas they are not. It becomes a matter
of urgency because if they are wrong and a supernatural creator does
exist, that entity must have some plan for us and why he would create
something like this. So the answer for the creationist on where God
came from is that while I can't answer that now, no one can, I have
faith that I will someday know the answer to the question. The
important part is accepting all the evidence that this didn't happen on
it's own, and moving forward now with accepting the evidence and the
next step in living with that knowledge.
Some people call this type of talk preaching. I don't. I have not
suggested any faith as the true faith. That would be pointless until
people come to grips with the fact that if you follow the question of
where the initial matter and energy from the Big Bang came from all the
way back, it is evidence of there being a creator. Simply put, the fact
that we're here is proof of God. Most people simply can't follow the
logic on that, or won't.
I would disagree with this choice. I think the big bang happened, and I
believe there was a creator that planned it. This ties into our talk of
our understanding of time. It would be easy to say that God simply made
it all appear. But, that's not what the evidence shows. How the
initial matter, energy, and space came into existence is another thing.
I don't think it happened 13.84 million years ago, at least not as how
we understand time. But that is irrelevant and I can live with either
scenario. Mortals cannot possibly understand the meaning of time to an
intelligence like God.
