Words of a Cripple

Words of a Cripple

"Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist,"

"It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going." Stephen Hawking from the book "The Grand Design"

These are the words of a cripple. These are the words of a man riddled with disease. He is a man with clouded reason. And what shocks me is that you think I am talking about Stephen Hawking's physical condition. Only a person crippled at heart could spout these types of ideas. People that speak this way are riddled with spiritual disease. Their reason is clouded with sin, arrogance and error.

As smart a man as Mr. Hawking is, I think he is trying to fit square pegs into round holes. I find it incredible that he still hasn't figured out that science is not against religion and neither religion against science. But each has its purpose. Science merely shows the how, but never answers the why. And religion answers the why, not the how.

Bible scripture gives the idea that we were created for God's pleasure, out of His will and to do good works. We were created to bring God glory and we were created to return to Him. We were created to know God.

Like I said, each has its purpose. When one tries to answer questions it is ill equipped to answer, bad stuff happens. The church is poorly equipped to answer the how. A good example of that is that they endorsed the idea that the earth was flat. Likewise, the science community is showing how ill equipped it is to answer why. I hope they find out before it’s too late.

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. John 1:1-3
