No, there's no, this is the most interesting result in all of science. Whether they came out of nothing or out of a pre-existing universe, as a product of forces that we have never discovered, no one knows the answers to that question, because the circumstances of nearly infinite heat pressure and density at the beginning of the universe necessarily wiped out any trace of a previous universe. So time, really, going backward, comes to a halt at that point. Beyond that, that curtain can never be lifted. . . . As Einstein said, scientists live by their faith in causation, and the chain of cause and effect.
Every effect has a cause that can be discovered by rational arguments.
And this has been a very successful program, if you will, for unraveling the history of the universe. But it just fails at the beginning. And that is really a blow at the very fundamental premise that motivates all scientists. As both a working scientist and a Christian apologist, Robert Gange brings a unique perspective to the issue of where science ends and faith begins. Dr. Gange serves as president of the Genesis Foundation in New Jersey, an organization chartered to show that the Bible is trustworthy from a scientific perspective.
