Science has never been the real enemy of God. God was the one to put the laws of nature in order and set the principles in motion. Being the Creator of all things, He created science. However, the enemy of God is one that denies His existence and therefore denies the evidence (Rom. 1:25). Recently, scientists have been focusing on matter from nothing experiments and this is why.
One of the arguments for the existence of God is the cosmological argument, also known as the cause and effect argument. The argument is laid out in its most simple form. The universe exists, how? It is eternal and has always existed. We know that matter is not eternal, so then it created itself from nothing. We know that nothing can come from absolute nothing, so then there must be a first cause. That first cause must be greater than the effect (the universe). That first cause is God.
James Kirk Wall (philosopher, atheist) in his book Agnosticism: The Battle Against Shameless Ignorance writes, “Logically it would appear that there is no point in time where nothing existed. There has always been something.” He would go on to explain the world and everything in it from the basis of quantum physics. However, he admits that there had to be something. Others in the science realm argue that there was always something. Even if it was only on the subatomic level. They have done experiments using a particle accelerator and a photon laser. Electrons were shot through a box that was one billionth of a centimeter. At the same time, photons were shot in from another direction. Photons bounced off the fast-moving electrons into other photons creating ions. The creation of the ions “out of nothing” was proof that something can come from nothing, but it wasn’t nothing. There were electrons, and there were photons. Not to mention the equipment that made it happen. At the end of the day absolute nothing begets nothing. People are still grasping at thin nothing trying to explain away the existence of God.
God is the only thing we know to be eternal (Rom. 1:18-20). He claims to have created the world and gave us a beginning (Gen. 1:1). It is His creation that speaks of His great and awesome power (Psa. 19:1-6). We don’t want to find ourselves in the position of questioning God as Job did. “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Now gird up your loins like a man, And I will ask you, and you instruct Me” (Job 38:2-3)! The evidence for the existence of God is rock solid, and we must not waver in our convictions. We must teach them to our children and our children’s children (Deut. 4:9-10). Stand firm in the knowledge of our God and His creation. Stand firm in His great love.
