“Science predicts that many different kinds of universe will be spontaneously created out of nothing.”*
If you said it or if I said it, we would be laughed at as being uneducated, ignorant and out of touch with reality. But when someone with Stephen Hawking’s stature says it some say, “Oh, yes, isn’t that marvelous?” If one browses the science section at a bookstore it doesn’t take long to ascertain there is a small cadre of atheists and evolutionists who dominate the pop science market. Some of them refer to those of us who are creationists as being “intellectually inferior.” We are, according to them, believers in fairy stories.
But really now, even people who would not consider themselves scientifically literate accurately write such lyrics in The Sound of Music, “nothing comes from nothing.”
I will try to be nice about this and just ask how long would we have to wait before something spontaneously created itself out of nothing? Yes, I know the answer I would receive would be trillions of years. And they say we are people of faith and they are people of science.
We must never be ashamed to defend our reasonable, logical, scientific stance when we said, “In the beginning God created the heaven and earth.” Intelligence comes from intelligence and life comes from life. Design comes from mind and order comes from plan. “By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.” Psalm 33
