3 ARGUMENTS FOR GOD:
COSMOLOGICAL ARGUMENT—THE BEGINNING, greek word Cosmos----if the world had a beginning it must have had a beginner
TELEOLOGICAL ARGUMENT- DESIGN greek word telos----design or purpose-----if there is design in the world and in you there must be a designer
MORAL ARGUMENT- MORALITY ----NO SCIENCE more philosophical-------its the argument we’ve all intuitively understood since we were little and that the moral argument that if there’s 1 thing morally wrong out there-------like it’s wrong to murder your neighbor cause they don’t cut their grass until it’s shin high, or it’s wrong to let boys go in girl’s bathroom, or to take your car down the sidewalk and crush everyone in sight------or murder 6 million people cause their race is deifferent
THAN there has to be a God, or else it’s just a matter of opinion----it’s just your opinion against your neighbors, your opinion against a theif, against Hitler
WE KNOW these aren’t just a matter of opinion THEY ARE REALLY WRONG, which means there must be a standard of REALLY RIGHT that we are obligated to obey and we call that God’s nature
IF THIS STANDARD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS DOESNT EXIST than nothing is really right or wrong it’s just a matter of opinion
COSMOLOGICAL ARGUMENT: IF there was a beginning, there must be a beginner.......now this argument points back to........
BIG BANG THEORY.........I JUST KNOW WHO BANGED IT
evidence is so good that even ATHEIST AND SCIENTISTS----BELIEVE IN IT
Dr Stephen HAWKING: “ALMOST EVERYONE NOW BELIEVES THAT THE UNIVERSE, AND TIME ITSELF, HAD A BEGINNING AT THE BIG BANG”
BOOK The Grand Design “Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist.
EVERYONE BELIEVES IN AT LEAST 1 MIRACLE:
CHRISTIANS BELIEVE IN THE MIRACLE OF CREATION, AND LOTS OF OTHERS
ATHEISTS BELIEVE THAT NO ONE CREATED SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING!! THAT TAKES A LOT OF FAITH!!!
WHAT’S MORE REASONABLE:
NO ONE CREATED SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING
SOMEONE CREATED SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING
MY EXPERIENCE: LIFE COMES FROM LIFE
IN THE BEGINNING GOD is more reasonable than IN THE BEGINNING MATTER AND ENERGY
