The Bible begins with the words “In the beginning God”. The supposition is that God is and always has been. God does not have to prove anything about Himself he just is. When Moses asks God who he should tell the people he is(God) he answers, “I am what I am”.
Propositions to consider:
The universe exists. Unless you believe that the universe is some
The universe has not always existed. The main principle of thermodynamics is that energy is always expanding from some central point. Our sun will eventually burn out and that will be that. Expanding energy from a starting point.
Something caused the universe to exist. Duh! Something or someone caused all this to happen. Here are some ideas on that subject.
1) The big bang theory. Astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered back in the 1920’s the phenomenon called the red shift. Distant planets turn to red the further away they are. The supposition here is that the universe started at one central point. Kaboom! And there it started and is expanding down to extinction.
2) God created the universe. There is no cause and effect with God. He is just God. “I AM’ Exodus 3: 14
God is self-existing. No else can say that.
God is self sufficient “He has no needs” Acts 17:25
God is self-eternal. He is the Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end. He is timeless. His life knows no limits.
Which of these theories makes the most sense to you?
Personally, I think it takes more faith to believe anything other than a God-created universe.
Why would the Creator have to be greater than the universe?
Read Psalm 104

The quote at the beginning reminded me of something that Lee Strobel said about Jesus and how he fulfilled all the prophecies that he did. He basically said that the chance of that ever happening would be like filling texas in nickels two feet deep, marking one of them, going through the state and being able to pick out that one nickel on the first try. I have no idea if that's even relevant, but it's interesting all the same. :)
