Summary

What’s more likely? That no one created something from nothing, or that someone created something from nothing? If you ask an atheist or an agnostic this question, the answer may shock you. According to Aristotle, “nothing is what rocks dream about.” And yet nearly all scientists agree that the universe came into existence from just that, nothing.
In this week’s podcast, Frank guides us through S.U.R.E., an acronym he uses to show the scientific evidence that the universe had a beginning from nothing. From that fact, we can see that cause of the universe has the attributes of God. Frank will also address questions such as:

Who created God?

What is the Big Bang Theory?

What if science changes?

Is there other evidence that the universe had a beginning?

How “fine-tuned” is the universe?

Did Einstein believe the universe had a beginning?

If God exists, what are His attributes?

How does cause and effect point to God’s existence?

Do atheists have more “faith” when they say the universe didn’t have a cause?
