I never said you were the dumbest person on the planet. But there is scientific evidence for a God. Now to dehammer; if you're talking about Hawking's theory on an infite universe, that couldn't be possible. I don't know if either of you are familiar with the kalam argument. It states that "Whatever begins to exist has a cause. The universe began to exist [evidence from the Big Bang]. Therefore the universe has a cause," as William Craig, Ph.D., THD said.
Our universe was created for a cause. Contrary to what atheist Quentin Smith said that, "The most reasonalbe belief is that we came from nothing, by nothing, and for nothing." There is evidence that the universe isn't eternal. Because an infite past would "involve an actually infinite number of events, then the past simply can't be infinite," as Craig said. The evidence of what scientists call the Big Bang is astounding; background radiation at the right temperature it would have been as a remnant of it, dating, etc. For more information on the kalam argument, read one of Craig's books or "The Case for a Creator," by Lee Strobel. That is solid evidence.
actually ive not read Hawking's theory on an infite universe, but i have read of several theories on how the universe could be destroyed and recreated by its own laws, in according to the laws that have existed since before the universe did. I have also read of the kalam argument, but they have one assumption. that is that the universe was created out of nothing. Take away that assumption and the arguement falls to peices. there is no evidence of that assumption having any validity.
show me the evidence that the universe was created by for a cause.
