My Own Universe?

Let me share with you a brief account of a radio interview I heard yesterday. I was in the car and just happened to catch part of this interview on National Public Radio. I have no idea who the guest or his interviewer were. This will be in my own words and not a direct quote.

The agenda of an unsaved person is quite predictable. The guest of this show was some world renown physicist and scientist. Like many other secular scientists, his underlying purpose in life is to show that we did not need a god or a God to create the universe.

As I think back to this man's words, I must say he is clever. He talks of ideas that are very complicated and involved, and totally unproven. Yet, because no one has been able to show that his ideas are impossible (either mathematically or by principles of physics) he treats his ideas as established truth. It would be like you reading about some capability in a science fiction novel, and then going to your friends and saying this is true unless you can prove it is not. The scientist was very confident in what he was proposing, and sounded so. Thus, there is almost a deceptive drawing or luring of the listener into believing that what he says must be true. After all he is a scientist and understands things way beyond what the normal person could ever grasp.

But, there is no evidence nor proof that what he says is true. He was talking about how we can create a universe. The first thing we must do is create a black hole. Black holes do not need to be huge, but in fact, can be very small. We will use our machine (non-existent) to exert tremendous pressures on a watermelon (his example) and as the watermelon gets smaller and smaller, eventually it will be a black hole. This black hole would be of atomic size or smaller.

From this black hole we can now create our universe. He explained that there is a flip side to the force of gravity that makes thing repel each other. Of course he knows of studies that support this idea. This repulsive force also increases in magnitude the further the two bodies are from each other. This is the force that will take our black hole (crushed watermelon) and expand it into an entire universe. He does not say what makes the expansion forces stop. Of course he also throws out the idea that a universe does not have to be as large as the one we know.

The heart of sinful man has always been bent on showing that man is God, the supreme being. When the scientists create their own universe they will have once and for all proven that the Genesis 1 account of creation is a storybook fable.

Given the arrogance of man I often marvel at the patience of God Almighty. Remember, He can recreate the effect of the Tower of Babel in any number of ways, and He can do it anytime He chooses. Not only in the realm of astrophysics, but also in the realm of medical technology (cloning) do we see man lining up for this kind of disaster.

Something to think about.

God Bless You,
