To be sure that you know my position on this one, I believe in creation theory. I believe that God created everything as it states in the Bible.
Genesis 1:1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
I ask the question in this post, as a picture has come to my mind.
If you had a fully functioning car, drove it into an empty space, then dismantled it and left it alone…. would it ever just reassemble itself?
Everything that was needed for the car to just be, would be present in the space. It would just need to assemble itself… ????
OK, a is car is a complex thing.
Would the idea work on something simpler?
A bicycle?
If a bicycle was in pieces, and left alone in an empty space, would it ever just assemble itself???
Is that still too complicated?
Can we go even more simple?
A nut and bolt that fit each other?
If we were to put a matching nut and bolt, inside a space, and then just leave them.
Then will they ever, just join up together? …. No?
How about if we shake the space that they are in?
If we, without looking at what is going on, just shake the space, then will the two separate items come together in just the right way, to then become one item?
I do think, that if we are going to be sensible, that the answer to the above question, is a resounding “No”.
There is so much that is needed, just to bring a simple nut and bolt together.
There is a need to have a vision of what they could be. There is a need for eyes to see them, then direct them together in just the right way, so that they can be joined together.
Hands are needed, to do the moving and correct aligning of the nut to the bolt.
Even then, it is possible to get the alignment wrong, and then cross thread the nut onto the bolt. Which can then mean that the nut only starts to connect to the bolt, and then gets stuck on the very end of the bolt. A cross threaded nut and bolt is of very little use.
So if there is very little hope that a simple nut and bolt can just be brought together, then I think it is safe to say that there is no hope for the bicycle or the car to just, come together.
What I have just written above, probably sounds like complete nonsense. But doesn’t “The Big Bang Theory” require that, for those who believe in “The Big Bang Theory”, that the above scenarios just happened, on a molecular level, when the universe was just created out of nothing, by nothing?
That all the laws of physics, just came into being, in an ordered manner, so that eventually, further collisions could occur.
Which would then lead to, with all the correct building block ingredients in place, life on this planet, just coming into existence, without any external help.
Which then leads to so forth and so forth, until we reach mankind, and all that we can currently do in our modern world.
All with no help from an external creator???
I do believe that the evidence for a creator, is so much greater than the evidence for there not being a creator.
You might say, “It’s easy for you to say that, but where’s your evidence for what you believe?”
I do have a previous post, giving some thoughts on why I believe that I can have such confidence, for what I believe.
Please do also consider having a read of that post. A link is below.
