Isn’t it ironic that theists often claim science is very limited in explaining the world around us and then try and prove their claim that god exists with contrived explanations using scientific discoveries?
First, lets make clear what we mean by “God” since some people mix things up by claiming that “God is nature” or “God is energy” or other fuzzy definitions. The most common conception of “God” in this type of a debate is that “God” is an almighty, intelligent entity who created the universe and mankind and, while having unlimited power, directs the universe and judges each individual that lives and has lived.
When theists are asked to prove that this entity exists, they first invoke science to prove there was a beginning (Big Bang) and thus, since the universe had a beginning, there must have been a cause and that cause was god. Theists sidestep the question “Who created God out of nothing?”
New cosmetological discoveries have indicated that the Big Bang might not have been the beginning. Theists will now have to drop the claim of a ‘beginning’ for the universe, repeated over and over again, as if this is a proven fact. There are several theories awaiting confirmation such as the theory of a pulsing universe or the theory of the existence of a multiverse. There is no “fact” that the universe was “created out of nothing.”
I suggest that we do not draw such definite conclusions from scientific observations. Please go to the website to read about the latest observations in that NASA report before jumping again to premature conclusions. https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/there-was-no-big-bang-singularity-ae438985fcca
