GOD: The Best Explanation? Part 3

September 5, 2013 by Nelis Ebersohn and Jason Dennett

HOW DID THE UNIVERSE BEGIN TO EXIST?

Part 1 Part 2

Screen-Shot-2013-07-06-at-12.41.36-PM-300x215

(pt.3) In this episode of our series “GOD: The Best Explanation?”, we begin to investigate if the scientific fact of the beginning of our universe can be adequately explained by the existence of God.
Amazingly, in the 20th century alone, we have discovered at least 5 different ways in which we can demonstrate scientifically that the universe had a definite point of beginning a finite time ago, and is not eternal in the past. This of course cries out for an answer to one of the deepest questions of humanity “Where did the universe come from, and how did it begin?”

    God is beyond the
    spatial co-ordinates

    The entire creation is constituted by
    the spatial co-ordinates. Hence, beyond creation means beyond space and this
    means finally beyond spatial co-ordinates. The intelligence can never cross the
    spatial co-ordinates and hence can never touch the boundary of this creation
    from which God starts.

    The soul, mind, intelligence, ideas and
    imagination are made of nervous energy only, which is a special work form of
    inert energy. The human body is made of inert energy and matter. Matter is a
    form of inert energy. Even the space is a form of very subtle inert energy
    only. All this creation including the human beings is basically inert energy
    only. The soul is a part of this creation and therefore the creation is as true
    as the soul. All this creation including the souls is relative reality and God
    alone is the absolute reality. From the point of God, the creation is not real.

    But from the point of the soul the creation is
    equally real. Since God is the absolute reality and soul is the relative
    reality, neither God is soul nor soul is God. If you say that the creation is
    real, it contradicts the view of God. If you say that creation is unreal, it contradicts
    the view of the soul. It is just like the issue of Telangana in Andhra Pradesh.
    If you support United
    State, people in
    Telangana oppose. If you support separate Telangana, people in the other part
    of the state oppose. Hence, Shankakra told that creation is neither real nor
    unreal and is Mithya. When a human being becomes God, the creation becomes
    unreal for that specific human incarnation. Here also, neither God becomes the
    soul and human body nor the soul and human body become God. Just like a metallic
    wire can be treated as current on charging with electricity, the human being
    charged by God is treated as God and hence we say that the human being becomes
    God.

Unity Statement

In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, in all things charity. The Christian Apologetics Alliance (CAA) is united in our Statement of Faith. The CAA does not, as an organization, have positions on many of the doctrinal or theological debates that take place within the church. Our primary concern is to promote the gracious, rational defense of the central claims of Christianity and the critique of opposing systems of thought. The CAA joyfully welcomes Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and diverse Protestant believers, and we are committed to treating all these traditions with respect in our community.
