“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
You get one sentence into the bible before you have a decision to make. Do you believe God existed before the “beginning”? …Because if this is not true then nothing that is written afterwards matters.
Do you believe there is an eternal Deity who created what we call the universe? Or do you reject this and simply admit that you have no idea how we got here? …Those are your only options.
Science never claims to know origin. It offers an elaborate admission of ignorance about the beginning and suggest various hypotheses for what happened somewhere in the middle. You will not find a science book that discusses an element that was present prior to the “beginning”.
That is because science deals with finite particles. They have no formula to explain “something” coming from “nothingness”.
Their dilemma is in conceptualizing an eternal component. So, when they propose a “big bang” from a collision of particles, there is no pretense that they know where those particles came from, or why they were moving.
This is a problem when you are trying to explain the origin of the universe…but it is an even bigger problem when you are seeking truth.
Just as God is necessary for creation, He is also necessary to establish absolute truth…. Jesus said “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.” Again, you must either believe that statement or reject it. Our nation has chosen the latter, and we are reaping what we have sown.
There is no standard for truth…only loud opinions. We cannot define, marriage, gender, right, wrong, morals, ethics, honesty, equality …we are absolutely adrift. In our aimlessness the only allowable absolute is that there are no absolutes.
All we can offer are elaborate, confessions of ignorance…and then adamantly assert unsubstantiated opinions.
The world appears content to pretend all of this makes sense, but you have a decision to make. Keep blindly following the blind or open your bible and start living life based on solid, definable, absolute truth. There is nothing virtuous about ambiguity.
"Truth is objective because God exists outside ourselves; it is universal because God is above all; it is constant because God is eternal. Absolute truth is absolute because it originates from the original." - Josh McDowell
