A Spectrum

I like to read books about this subject and I own a few (looking at both sides). It's interesting, I have one book that quotes/references two other books I have, scary. Anyway, I would say the best book if your interested on (my side of)the subject is The Case for a Creator by Lee Strobel. It's very easy to read, not like this other one I am reading. I like to read before bed and it puts me to sleep every time. Anyway, it's where I got most of my information that I will relay to you.

Anyway cosmology... In Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything (great book but doesn't espouse a creator)he gives this great description of the Big Bang "In three minutes about ninety-eight percent of all the matter there is or will ever be has been produced. We have a universe. It is a place of the most wondrous and gratifying possibility, and beautiful, too. And it was done in about the time it takes to make a sandwich." Have you ever thought that the Big Bang was actually a good discovery for supporting a creator? I mean aren't we saying that God created something out of nothing. If the universe was eternal, why would we need a creator? The kalam arguement comes into play here: 1. Whatever begins to exist has a cause 2. The universe began to exist 3. Therefore, the universe has a cause. How could the universe pop into being uncaused out of nothing? It couldn't...
