The kalam cosmological arguement is thus:
1. Everything that has a beginning, has a cause.
2. The Universe has a beginning.
3. The Universe has a Cause. We call this Cause “God”. God did not have a beginning.
Any other arguement is ‘turtles all the way down’, and hence nonsense. Thus, if God does not exist, then the universe is irrational, and this converstation is pointless as Reason does not exist.
Roughly the same arguement can be applied for why we know God is Reasoned. Since, we know reason exists, therefore there must be a Source of Reason.
Science is founded on a rational universe. Without God, there is no rational or reasoned universe. Is it an accident that Science arose in a land where Christian ideas were held? Of course not.
As to the charge that God is evil, a fiend, (now that we have disposed of the charge of ‘fraud’), we all have the freedom to make evil choices, and some of those choices ripple on through time. Would it really be more pleasant to be a total robot kept by God’s omnipotence from making any mistakes?
The second answer to this is for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son to be crucified on a tree for you and me.
As to evolution, sigh. There is a preference cascade coming. Once scientists feel safe from losing their jobs, and people feel safe from being mocked by all their friends a cascade like the fall of the Berlin Wall will come. In tyrannies, no one can say “I hate the dictator” because the secret police will destroy them. And people don’t know if its just them, but if people had a way to converse with others, and to realize, its not just them, in fact, its pretty much everyone who hates the dictator, why the dictator would not be long in power.
And so the petty tyrants of Darwinism strive to stop the free speech of scientists and laymen alike because the Darwin Wall is cracking, and soon bits and pieces of it will be on sale for 9.95.
Philosophy, science, and faith are on the side of the deists, and the creationists. The atheists and the Darwinists stand against the tide of history with increased desperation. But the People will be free!
