Before the big bang theory came around evolutionists believed in the Steady State theory because it gave them infinite time for their theory of slow and gradual evolution. Cause and effect is a basic tenet of science. If the universe had existed eternally they wouldn't have to explain the first cause of it, which they obviously could never do based on their unprovable philosophy naturalism. And if life had always existed they wouldn't have to explain life coming into existence from dead matter, another dilemma for naturalists. But more and more evidence pointed to a beginning of the universe. This evidence mainly comes from the fields of astronomy and astrophysics starting with Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. The second law of thermodynamics dictates an initial condition of the universe to be of a higher order because entropy shows that the universe is subject to degeneration and would ultimately even perish in so-called heat death. Science can never explain what happened exactly at the point of the creation of this universe, how it happened, and what was there before it. But we do know for sure that the result is this fine-tuned universe.

The cosmological singularity defines the starting point of time and history. This is also where science has reached its absolute limit. It shows that the fine-tuned universe with all its specified complexity theoretically originated "from nothing" or at least from an inferior state. It's interesting to note that matter is incredibly, mind-bogglingly empty and that it is over 99.9% empty space. Science is limited and nobody knows what kind of possibly even smaller particles will be found in the future. The visible world is made of the invisible. All matter consists of particles that are made up of even smaller particles and all of them are attracted to each other by means of invisible forces. Everything seems to resolve into energy and nothingness. But how can nothing turn into everything?

Nothing comes from nothing, certainly not by itself. Cause and effect are universal. This is true logical reasoning. This universal reality raises an important question. What caused the fine-tuned universe to pop into existence from nothing? The evolutionary worldview is limited strictly to the unprovable philosophy naturalism and excludes supernaturalism from its pallet of explanations beforehand without any evidence. But nothing comes from nothing. It is impossible to explain the coming into existence of the fine-tuned universe and the natural world by means of naturalism. Cause and effect, a principle of true science, has simply reached a dead end with naturalism. See also Entropy. The logical conclusion follows that the supernatural becomes the best explanation. Belief in God is completely logical and rational.

Everybody knows Einstein's famous formula E = mc² and the law of conservation of energy. If the universe full of energy popped into existence then what must have been there before that moment? Some kind of source providing that energy. And what else would be necessary for the creation of a fine-tuned universe fit for life with all its universal laws and specified complexity? Space, time, matter, and energy popped into existence at the same instant in complete harmony. What caused this to happen? Blind and mindless naturalistic processes or mindful intelligent design? The answer is plain and simple, but that answer is not what certain people would like to hear or believe. This has led to some of the most deluded theories to date...

The reality is that science can say absolutely nothing about what caused the creation event of the universe. It is far beyond the limits of science. Hence the use of philosophical statements involving the denial of God. Of course the unprovable philosophy naturalism can never account for anything before the natural world simply because there was no natural world. Anybody who believes that something, let alone everything, can come from nothing by means of nothing is simply deluded. Here is what Roger Penrose said about Stephen Hawking's M-theory, which stands symbol for the atheist's neverending quest for the so-called theory of everything, or the atheist's search for the Philosopher's Stone...

Here's something about Georges Lemaître, the inventor of the big bang theory...

The Cosmic Egg is a mythological motif found in creation myths of many cultures and civilizations. In the Orphic cosmogony, the unaging Chronos produced Aether and Chaos and made in divine Aether a silvery egg, from which everything else appeared. See Arche and The Presocratic Philosophers. Chronos is the god of time which of course also plays a crucial role in the evolutionary belief system. The 'golden womb' or 'golden egg', is the source of the creation of the Universe or the manifested cosmos in Hindu philosophy. See Hiranyagarbha. Georges Lemaître was a Catholic who invented the Big Bang theory calling it a "cosmic egg exploding". Catholicism is literally drenched in all kinds of mythical and pagan traditions and beliefs. Easter eggs for example. Evolution is the egghead religion of atheists.
