Hi everyone in similarworlds.com, with the Big Bang which is the occurrence of the cosmic microwave bacground radiation, at some 13.8 billion years ago, it is the fact and truth that the universe has a beginning, so it needs God to have brought it into existence.
I theist Yrger ask myself, why scientists or more specifically physical cosmologists don't employ their reason and intelligence, to conclude to the existence of God?
The way I see it, they will definitely conclude like Einstein to the existence of a higher power, but not to the existence of the God of the biblical Old Testament believed in by Christians.
And they don't want or care to have to argue with Christians, because it is a futile and wastefuf effort from their part - for they are physical cosmologists, not orthodox scholars of the Christian biblical Old Testament God.
Modesty aside, I think they will agree with me on my ideas as I expound on them below.
Hi everyone in similarworlds.com, I Yrger theist am telling you that I have investigated the issue God exists or not.
And I have reached the following findings based on reason and intelligence:
1. God and existence are identical.
2. God is permanent i.e. eternal.
3. God is self-existent i.e. not dependent on anything at all for His existence.
4. There are two kinds of existence: (a) Self-existence which is the existence of God, (b) depedent existence which is everything that is not God.
5. Dependent existence owes its existence to the existence of God, i.e. all instances of dependent existence come about from the creation act of God.
6. God is the medium existence, which all other instances of existence survive in.
7. Summing up: God is the permanent i.e. eternal self-existent reality creator and operator of everything that is not God Himself.
In num 6 I say that:
"God is the medium existence, which all other instances of existence survive in."
And in num 1 I say that:
"God and existence are identical."
So, if we imagine that God's existence is a vast endless ocean of water, then we are all and everything not God Himself, we are like fish swimming in water, and the water is God.
Perhaps that is why someone in the New Testament of Christians states that:
"In Him (God) we live and move and have our being." Acts 17:28
