What difference does it make if God is the creator? Or just part of the creation we see around us? Or does not exist at all? Most of us take for granted that God has created everything, but what drives us to believe this notion? Is it faith? Or is it common sense? Not everyone believes this though. There are many scientists who try to prove God does not exist. However, the only thing science has proved is that there has to be a god who created everything.
For starters, look at Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. In simple terms, the theory teaches that we evolved from apes prior to evolving from lower life forms, which originated after our world was formed from massive concentrations of energy floating around the universe (the Big Bang Theory). These theories are great explanations, but they still have information gaps nonetheless. For example, people have always had difficulties trying to explain where all of that energy came from that has been endlessly floating around the universe, especially the concept of how that same energy has been able to exist for infinity without ever running out of usable energy.
According to the Laws of Thermodynamics, the Big Bang Theory has a flaw in that it contradicts the Second Law of Thermodynamics. What do the Laws of Thermodynamics have to do with science? Basically, they are proven laws of science that have maintained true through the tests of time.
The original law, better known at the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics, was established in the 1600’s. Prior to this time, the measurement of heat was estimated by the touch of the finger. This law proved that instruments, such as a thermometer, could accurately and consistently measure the amount of heat in any given object or space. Today, we still use the thermometer as an accurate way of measuring heat. Thus, the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics has passed the tests of time and modern technology.
The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. However, energy can be transferred from one form to another (e.g., kinetic, potential, etc.). This law has definitely passed the tests of time. During the past century, Albert Einstein has proved this law true with his formula – "E=mc2" (Energy = Mass times the Speed of Light squared). He also proved that you can split apart atoms and bring about nuclear fission – better known as the “atomic bomb.”
The Second Law of Thermodynamics tells us that the amount of usable energy in a closed system, such as our universe, will slowly be transferred into unusable heat. This is why it is impossible to create a perpetual motion machine, since there will always be a small portion of usable heat that becomes transferred into unusable energy or heat causing the system to wear down. This law has been proven by the Third Law of Thermodynamics, known as the Law of Entropy.
In summary, if the energy floating around our solar system has always existed and never had a beginning, then why, after an infinite amount of time, does our solar system still have such vast amounts of usable energy? The Laws of Thermodynamics prove themselves true in our universe as people continuously find innovative ways to conserve our limited resources of energy. Deductively, science guides us to the fact that there has to be a creator involved in the creation of our universe. Likewise, this creator would have to be separate from the creation, as well as being infinite in that the creator has no beginning or end. The very first verse of the Bible summarizes this same concept – “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1 NIV)
