I used to attend community college. If you know anything about public community college, the populace consists mostly of left-wing extremist professors and impressionable youths with very little to no moral or religious grounding. These left-wing extremists mold their students into liberalistic zombies all under the guise of high-education, thus creating an environment where immoral and faithless ideas fester and thrive like an infection. It makes it increasingly difficult for the faithful and well grounded few to continue to hold on to truths firmly ingrained in ones mind since childhood. It starts with a simple nod of the head, and then an essay change to maintain that GPA. And before you know it, you are just another zombie, ready to infest the world with extreme liberalism. You become Godless.
But this is not my point. I have a simple discussion today I'd like to present to you. A friend of mine from high school is one of those people who will argue God and her ideas, and will do so brilliantly. Recently, she had a run-in with an astronomy professor arguing the Big-Bang theory. Now, her response to this, being who she is, is to immediately raise her hand and argue the existence of God and His hand in the creation of the universe. This did not go over well.
But this got me thinking. This simple truth, which most people understand, has been completely perverted into something very far from the truth.
For those of you don't know, according to the book of Genesis, which is the foundation of the Torah, Bible, and Koran, God created the universe and everything in it in 6 days, including man-kind. Its the very first story of creation, and is still believed by the 3 major religions of the world, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The way in which the Universe is created is extremely orderly, with nothing random about it.
The Big-Bang Theory, on the other hand, is basically the chaos theory. The Universe at one point was very small and dense. A phase transition caused an explosion, and the universe expanded rapidly. Basically, there was this huge flash, a resounding bang, and when the particle dust cleared, the universe and planet earth was kinda just sitting there. Mix in a few billion years, add a whole slew of random mutation and genetic chaos, and before you know it, you have us.
As I usually do, allow me to use logic to come to some form of an arguement against this. I have learned over the course of my studies that the universe is anything but random. There is a consistent order to everything, from photosynthesis to the formation of embryo to the course of planets as they rotate around a star. There is no chaos in anything. Something has to happen before something else can take place. Rain must fall before crops can grow. A thought has to form before an essay can be written. A egg has to be fertilized before a child is born. Event followed by event, cause and effect, a systematic chain of occurrences. There is a system of laws in every science known to man-kind, a set or rules and order.
A system is a design. Even scientists do not discount the idea that there is some sort of a design to the universe. But if there is a design, it must be created. It can not be at random. It must be systematic. And if there is a design, there must also be a designer.
And now, before any of you go begin to discount my point, allow me to offer the following: I never once, in the above 2 paragraphs where I stated my argument, quoted the Bible. Which makes my point of reference valid.
So now, where does this leave my friend in community college arguing against the liberalism of her professor? With an incredible anti-dote to the zombie virus that is affecting her peers. Once again, logic wins the argument.
Finally, allow me to sum up my findings with following quote by the revered Father of Physics: "Science without Religion is lame, Religion without Science is Blind."
The Wondering Mind.

Brilliant post. Right on.
