A challenge for Atheism in an increasing unbelieving world. “When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” – Arthur Conan Doyle. The Origin of the Universe Beliefs about the origin of the universe and everything in it vary greatly. Most believe in a God of some kind who created the universe, others believe that the universe is itself eternal and had no need for a creator, while another group believe that the universe emerged from nothing and without any assistance from a god. The answer has been debated by many over the centuries and millennia, while others think it impossible to know the answer for sure, so often say silent on this subject. This writing sets out to not only to challenge these views but surprisingly provides the only possible answer too. No matter what you believe, you are about to be challenged. If you are an Atheist, you will be left in a state of realising how little you have thought about this subject. If you are not sure, you will be more sure. If you believe in God, then you will have some irrefutable proof when demonstrating to a non-believer that God does indeed exist. Among many scientists and thinkers of our age today, there seems to be an ever-increasing challenge against the idea of God’s existence. Some prominent scientists openly and confidently challenge the idea that God created everything. Some offer ideas or supposed evidence that the universe’s existence can be explained without the need for a God/Creator. But is it really possible to explain the universe without the need for a creator and if so, does such an explanation fall into the realm of science or is it really just another belief? I think it is fair to say that nearly every person alive has a belief as to how everything got here.  One group I will call “Believers” accept that a God is the cause, creator, and originator of all things. This camp is generally divided not on the existence of God, but who that God is. Atheists on the other hand believe and agree among themselves that there is no God or that a creator is unlikely to exist. They reject the idea that an intelligence of some kind is the source or cause of all things. Atheists may vary on what caused the universe, but they agree that it wasn’t a God, creator, or intelligence of any kind. Some think everything had its origin from nothing, others think that something such as gravity can explain everything. Finally there is another group called Agnostic. This group of people are undecided as to whether there is a God or not. They admit that God could exist and could be swayed either way according to evidence. The Universe, Metaverse, Existence Some scientists today hold to the view that our Big Bang could be one of many in a larger construct. This idea is certainly plausible because to … Continue reading Faitheism
