On Believing in God

Of course to believe in the Christian Faith you have to believe in God.    Well if  you believe in God you cannot be intelligent, for scientists are the most intelligent people in the world and they work with all the discoveries of nature, explain all they have discovered, and they have not found God anywhere, which means God is very bad mannered, or is just afraid to show Himself to such super minds.    The attitude of many scientists is "We do not have to explain where anything comes from, we just have to describe how it works in relation to the whole Universe"     Now that is exactly what science should be, there is no need to enter the religious debate, so why do they?

It seems to be a push to put themselves above ordinary mortals.   They are the ones who know everything and therefore cannot descend to the fallibility of ordinary peasants.    Now they had it their own way for many years, but have recently got themselves into a bit of a fix.    Explaining how things work is easy but the 'where did it come from' part has become very difficult because of the Big Bang Theory    Now Richard Dawkins is as very clever man, much more clever than I am.   He is highly praised for his contribution to the sciences and rightly so, but no doubt infected by the lunge towards atheism in scientific circles, he wrote a best selling book in which he tried to prove there was no God by writing all kinds of things which were irrelevant including the Statue of Liberty moving its arm.    Yes it is true that people believed in all sorts of myths and legends but the trouble was that there was inside them a need to explain the things around them, they believed in a supernatural power, but what it was and how it worked was unknown.      Anyway Dawkins enjoyed fame as those who wanted to share in his 'intelligence' started sneering at Theists.    

His undoing came when he touched the Big Bang Theory.   For a couple of years Dawkins had toured world wide for applause and of course money.    It was in Australia that the Big Bang Theory camo up.   This Big Bang Theory is hailed as the beginning of everything.     It explains the movement of everything in the universe, solar systems are moving away from each other in a way which suggests and explosion.    This is accepted by many scientists as the beginning, but it has proven to be an Achilles Heel when it comes to the Scientific World.     If you are asked why the moon exists science will explain it was once part of the earth, and probably go into all kinds of deep explanations which make this more clear.   Evolution, everything came from the sea, and we came from Dinosaurs, we have to accept this, since there is an absence of evidence to contradict it but when we get back to the beginning and ask how everything started, it is more difficult for science.    Dawkins was used to audiences laughing with him as he mocked religion, but when asked what existed before the Big Bang he curiously said "There was nothing but you can get something from nothing".    The audience erupted in to laughter and He asked "Why are you laughing?"   Another member of the panel replied "Because you have just said you can get something out of nothing"    He apparently did nor realise that he was saying something he had repeatedly condemned theists for saying.     The problem for science is that if nothing existed at the Big Bang something outside the Big Bang must have built the material which went Bang.   The other explanation is that things always existed and were always evolving, which means we would have to wait an infinite time to get half way to where we are today, and getting to our time as we wait through an infinity of time, is an irrational statement.     So I, and ordinary not so  clever man, believe in God.
