SCIENCE PROVES GOD’S EXISTENCE
By Francis Fawkes, Th.D.
Some people believe that science goes against the Christian faith. However, true and objective - science never goes against the truths as enshrined in God's word but confirms it.
Of all the world religions, only Judeo-Christian theology says that time has a beginning. The Bible is the only book that describes God as a Being who creates independently "of time, space, matter and energy." In all of the other Holy Books, God creates with time! As a matter of fact, in the statement: "In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth,” the Latin phrase "creatio ex nihilo" is used which means "creation out of nothing." In the original Greek we have "Pro Chronon Aionion" or “before time eternal." In Titus 1:2 it states: "that hope that we have in Jesus Christ was given to us before the beginning of time. Another verse of scripture is: "The grace of God that we now experience was put into effect BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF TIME" - (2Timothy 1:9). Again, in this passage the same three Greek words are used. There are eight places in the Bible which state that God created time.
Many false teachers, bogus scientists and philosophers have said that the universe always existed or that it is self-existent? Another false assertion was that is was created independently of God. Again, nothing by and of itself brings forth nothing - except when God intervenes.
In 1990, the Hubble telescope was launched in space. For the first time this powerful instrument saw to the edge of the universe which is about 13.7 billion light years away. It was an incredible discovery for this is saying that the universe is limited or finite. It is not infinite as we all thought. According to Einstein: "...if the universe has a beginning, it must have a beginner, hence the existence of God." Einstein further acknowledges that length, width, height and time had to be created. Even Stephen Hawking confirms that time had to be created! The Bible also states in Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth." That means everything in the Cosmos.
So much for what the scientists have to say about the limits of our physical universe; we Christian believers know that God’s creative power is ever vaster than we can conceive. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things have been created by Him and for Him.
