Lets speak scientifically for a moment here, and address a couple of things that we, as men of science, hold to be factual. First and foremost is the First law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of the conservation of energy. This law states very simply that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it simply changes forms from one means of energy into another.

To expand on this, let’s think for a moment about what happens to the electricity as we force it through a light bulb. Electricity goes in, light and heat come out. That light can later go on to change form in to heat of it’s own by refracting off of surfaces and the heat could change form into kinetic energy or some other form of energy. It is important to note however that the energy consumed by the light bulb in the form of electricity is exchanged for a different form of energy — and if the light bulb should burn out, the electricity sent to it is not lost by any means, it simply finds itself in a situation where it cannot change form, and therefore, returns back into the wall, and the burned out light bulb consumes nothing.

This law understood we can address another important scientific bit of knowledge: The fact that the universe did not always exist. The universe is a mind-boggling large cluster of mass and energy. We know that energy can not be created, so surely, this energy had to come from some pre-existing eternal source. Now we can, if we’re not careful, begin to trip over ourselves and our sciences by trying to comprehend how something can exist eternally – having no beginning or end. Some suffice to say that comprehension of eternity is far beyond mortal grasp as we are only familiar with eternity in the sense that we are eternally bound by our mortality – a bit ironic, granted.

But when we get down to the nuts and bolts of it, if our science is to mean anything at all, we have to accept that the energy which went into the creation of the universe had to have come from somewhere. If we try to avoid this realization, we are left to ponder how NOTHING (the state of absolute non-existence that pre-dates the universe eternally) could somehow contribute to the creation of SOMETHING (being the universe. By any means of science you apply to it, from the simplest of elementary math, to the advanced metaphysics that are too advanced for most universities to even trifle with: NOTHING plus NOTHING creates NOTHING. When all you have is NOTHING, you don’t have anything needed for some sort of Universe creating bang or rift. You don’t have time, you don’t have space, you don’t have anything.

This leaves one of two possible conclusions at this point. One is that there was some large mass of energy and being of such unimaginable power that it is possible for it have existed outside of our known reality, and suddenly, for no seemly good reason, it just exploded, or popped, or poofed itself into a different form known to use as the Universe. Our second possibility is some what similar, but far more probable as I’ll explain later on: Imagine for a moment that the large mass of energy and being was sentient. Alive. This would be a being of unimaginable power and size, one which existed before existence, having no beginning or end. We can not take any guesses towards such a being’s intentions, but being sentient, we can assume that it took of itself (being mass and energy) and used these materials to create the universe.

With that some people might state that if such a “God” existed, it cannot possibly exist now, having spent itself in the creation of the Universe. This would stand true, if it were not for the unwavering order and design with on which the entire universe exists. This fact alone rules out both the possibility that the entity which created the universe was non-sentient as well as the possibility that the sentient God being would have spent 100% of itself in the creation of the universe. To better understand this, examine for a moment all of what I’m about to present to you and contemplate for a moment how any of it could have come into being without the continued existence of a sentient God.

We must first look at what occurred during the creation of the universe. From absolute NOTHING (not dust, not energy, not radiation or particles of anything) came Trillions (or MORE) stars and Billions (or MORE) galaxies, and planets of innumerable volume. Each of which is set within its own specific order and cycle. There is absolutely NO chaos within the celestial universe. Consider for a just a moment the incalculable odds of this level or order being created and maintained in even one galaxy – now try applying that scientifically IMPOSSIBLE chance of occurrence rate to the entire universe. There is no way, whatsoever, for such order to have fallen into place by un-designed chance. It is for this reason that we must either; A) Accept the likeliness that the sentient being who created the universe was by all means present and impressive during its design, OR B) Somehow convince ourselves that an occurrence which by all scientific means would be IMPOSSIBLE (and science doesn’t easily bring up the word “impossible”) if left to chance, somehow occurred with 100% success and order, despite itself.

Going even further on the incalculable odds is the concept of Life. Even with an infinite number of planets, the odds of one being able to support life and then actually having life spawn from the voids of nothing on that planet are infinitesimal. And if you want to make that number even smaller still, consider the fact that this one little planet, (with the perfect orbit around its sun, with the host galaxy at the perfect position in the universe, with a single moon which traces the outlines of the planets magnetic fields and shield the little blue ball from countless meteors while still maintaining a comfortable distance in its orbit enough to ensure that the tides are not too severe or stagnant thus ending all life as we know it), this itty bitty IMPOSSIBLE speck of dirt would come to support sentient life capable of ATTEMPTING to understand matters beyond itself — Once again, you’ve fallen into scientific impossibility.

Beyond a certain point in probability (which, might I add, is very hard to reach), science eventually renders that an occurrence can simply NEVER happen. There is actually a lot of things that science says is completely impossible, though most people who thing they are familiar with it claim that science harbors no impossibilities. If that the case then maybe we should look back at where this article began, with a simple scientific law that goes unchallenged: Energy CANNOT be created or destroyed, it can only change form. That “cannot” sounds like science is pretty well decided on accepting certain impossibilities. The one that we must accept now, however, is this:

It is impossible for God NOT to exist.
