Non-existence is impossible
Have you ever thought about what the universe would be like if it didn't exist? In fact, the universe wouldn't be like anything. There just wouldn't be. Not even one single atom. Not even a single vibrating string. Everything we see around us exists...and for existence to ...exist, it always HAD to exist. It could not have ever NOT existed. Non-existence would not have a single bit of information to process to somehow propagate existence.
This is why I believe that the big bang theory is the most absurd explanation of how our universe came to be. For a "big bang" event to have occurred, there would still need to be information to be processed. Something to spark the fuse that caused the so-called "explosion". If there was truly nothing, there would not even be things such as science, the laws of the universe, mathematics, logic, etc for it to operate in.... for it to explode "in to".
There are only two logical realities for what is to be. Just like computer has the option of 0 or 1. Off or on. The universe is 1. It never was 0, is not 0, and never will be 0 (due to the first law of thermodynamics...matter can neither be created or destroyed).
This proves the possibility for the existence of God. How? For there to always have been data (and by proxy, intelligence), then it is logical to conclude that this data could have a source, such as a divine creator such as God. Why would it be so hard to believe that a God was always there if "existence" was always there?
He was, he is, and He always will be. He is 1.
@westillbelieve I also like apologetics, I use to lead a worldview ministry in the US and Iraq. Do you subscribe to evidentialist/classical school of apologetics?
hey! please like my post :) can you explain what you mean by that? I'm not clear on certain terminologies. i know what apologetics means but not sure what evidentialist/classic school is specifically.
Hmm... Modern representatives of Evidentialist Apologetics would be R.C. Sproul, Lee Strobel, William Lane Craig to name a few. Pressupositional Apologetics has been practiced by Cornelius Van Til, Greg Bahnsen, Scott Oliphent, Mitch Stokes, Douglas Wilson, and many others.
I will write up a post explaining them in the future.
I'll have to research that as well.
The Big Bang Theory explains how the Universe evolved, and not how it originated.
