A Cosmological God
I tell you, I am really enjoying the pastor’s messages on Doctrine. You would think, blah what a boring subject, but its not! I attribute that to the fact that it is clearly evident by his teaching that the pastor has spent not only time in studying the Word of God, but also in intimate relationship and understanding It’s author. Way to Go Pastor!
As the teaching this past week focused on God’s existence and His perfections, Jason touched on the Cosmological evidence of God, or those things that exist in the cosmos or in laymans terms, the universe exists, therefore the question arises “what or who created it?” or “Why something instead of nothing?”
Amazing how we often roll through our days and just take for granted we are here, there is air to breathe (as far as we can determine, only on this planet in all the universe!) and we have provision to exists.
I love superbowl commercials, and one that is funny and is a bit satirical is the “magic fridge”
I laugh at this video, those guys on the back side didnt spend time questioning why the beer was there, they just accepted it. No one was tearing into the wall to see where it came from, the refrigerator was not dismantled to find out the cause of the beer, it was just there!
How I wish that we could sometimes operate our lives in such simple faith, realising that we are here, very complex and intricate beings in a complex and intricate cosmos.
The cosmological argument could be stated as follows:
- Every finite and contingent being has a cause.
- Nothing finite and contingent can cause itself.
- A causal chain cannot be of infinite length.
- Therefore, a First Cause (or something that is not an effect) must exist.
We are here, so there must be a cause. He created the universe and us in it! Go God!
Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
