The Universe

"The Cosmic Cube." This phrase illustrates a very common belief, especially in circles of academics. The Cosmic Cube represents the view that there is nothing outside of the universe. All that is came from within this cube. Those who hold this position may even admit they don't really know where it all came from, but since they don't know neither could you. Upon closer examination do you wonder if their story of a Cosmic Cube instead of the extrinsic Creator really on the same level of science and logic? Is their goal really to find the truth or to run from it?


The Beginning

You can really only hold three possible positions (which will quickly be narrowed down to two) when it comes to the beginning of the universe.

1. The Universe was created by a Creator.
2. The Universe created itself.
3. The Universe was not created but always existed.

The first two positions hold way more weight than the third. Science only continually proves that the universe cannot be eternal. Energy is constantly breaking down into less useful energy. Eventually this planet will become a cold ball of ice, and in the span of eternity that should have already happened. There are very many other problems that have been found in science. An eternal, mindless universe still has no explanation for the universal laws of morality. Those who hold to this position deny the value of science, and neither atheist nor Christian are interested in speculations and dreams.

But the first two positions are more serious. Even though number two still contains major flaws, the Cosmic Cube does acknowledge a beginning which is one logical step closer to the truth; but it is still light years away from reality.


The Universe Created Itself?

Inevitably you will walk into someone who sets themselves up as wise and they'll tell you the universe created itself. How do you respond? According to him you have no right to disagree. After all, he knows more than you. The system of evolution is a complicated and evolved philosophy. Often proud men will point to this complicated, twisted speculation as if it had to be true because of its confusion. Christians shouldn't be impressed. Men of all kinds (from mathematicians, to scientists, to preachers) alike still question if it should even be considered a theory rather than a hypothesis. But even if it is accepted as a theory, its proponents love to boast it as a fact! Because they know there cannot be a God.

Some Major Problems with the Universe Creating Itself

1. How did something come from nothing?
This has to be one of the greatest problems for those who hold to the Cosmic Cube. Why is there life instead of death? Why is there heat instead of cold? Why is there light instead of darkness? Where do the Cubians point to answer these questions? They're left with one option: grasping dreams and speculations; and, depending on how proud they are, boast those dreams and speculations as pure fact.

2. Where is the fossil evidence? No, really. No... really.
Have you ever heard the boasts of evolutionists about the fossil record? Tons and tons of fossils have been found. Surely many have been found, but does it come close to matching their claim? First consider what the Cosmic Cube Big Bang Evolutionists are claiming here: They say that over the span of millions of years, the hundreds of species we have now have undergone countless evolutionary changes. Don't be deceived, you have every right to ask where are these fossils are. Shouldn't there be thousands, if not millions, of fossils everywhere? We should find fossils just by kicking some dirt. However, the fossil record doesn't even come close to what they are actually claiming. Their claim is astronomical, therefore the results should be astronomical as well. But they're not.

A sub problem with the fossil record is also found in their dating methods. Evolution-holding archaeologists claim fossils date back millions of years. This is because their carbon dating system tell them so. What they don't seem to want to openly admit to the public is that the carbon dating system has terrible problems. First of all, it is a rule that carbon dating cannot give accurate results past 50,000 years (and even that is a speculated number). Second, there are a great number of factors that affect the carbon of a fossil. Extreme heat, such as lava, is one example that will dramatically change the carbon result. Is their dating system really reliable, do they really know how old these fossils are, and is their goal really to find the truth or run from it?

So how does this phenomena of something coming from nothing happen? 'Time' is the mystical worker. With enough time anything is possible -- well, anything other than a God creating us, of course.

It is Plain

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven
against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
For what can be known about God is plain to them,
because God has shown it to them.
For His invisible attributes, namely,
His eternal power and divine nature,
have been clearly perceived,
ever since the creation of the world,
in the things that have been made."

(Romans 1:18-20)

If you dare to suggest that this obviously designed universe has a designer, you will be ridiculed as a fool. By why is that? Is it because it's an irrational claim, or is it because those scoffing don't want to be a slave to their Creator? It seems clear that the engine pulling along the science-fiction of evolution is an unwillingness to submit to God.

"Why do the nations rage and the people's plot in vain?
The kings of earth set themselves,
and rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against His anointed,
saying, 'Let us burst their bonds apart
and cast away their chains from us.'"

(Psalm 2:1-3)

The Lord tells us it's plain that He created this ordered sphere. A simple illustration that a child can understand comes from the book Natural Theology by William Paley. Imagine you were walking along and you find an object on the ground. You pick it up, observe that it has two hands moving at different speeds. A light ticking noise hums from it. Then you realize that this object keeps perfect time! What would you say? Would you say, "Wow! Look at what the wind, rain, and time have created: A watch!"? It would be clear to you that this watch was designed by a watchmaker. How much more should it be obvious that the complicated bodies all around us (the stars, earth, animal life, mankind, etc.) were designed by a creator? But the scoffer resorts to the possibilities of time argument again. Somewhere within saying "millions of years" they will believe even that a watch could form from random atmospheric changes.

"The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the ends of the world."
(Psalms 19:1-4)

Science should point to God if the facts are collected honestly. The Lord has made it plain, but man has suppressed the truth in unrighteousness. Is modern day science honest?
