Some people say the universe was never created. It has always existed. But that won't do. Scientists have discovered that the world is winding down. It is now generally accepted that the world will have an end. If it will have an end, then it must have had a beginning.
Some would try to say that the universe created itself. This denies the law of cause and effect. Out of nothing, somebody said, comes nothing.
Some would say that the universe was created by chance. But that's not a valid argument. Chance is not an entity, with the power to create.
Some would even argue that the world is not real. Suppose the things of the world are just an illusion. But where did the illusion come from?
Go outside your house on a clear night and gaze up at the millions of stars twinkling above you. You'll find it difficult just then to say there's no God. You really will.
Psalm 19 says "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork." That's much easier to believe.
What do you think?
