Video Overview
This presentation finishes up on the question of “Is there a creator of life?” and attempts to answer the question “Is there a creator of the universe?” Can science and the notion of the big bang explain the existence of the universe or do we need to consider the notion of a creator that ultimately designed and created the universe?

Video Summary

• A basic cell is the basic building block for all of life
• A basic cell cannot be divided into smaller components and still function… the “irreducible complexity” problem
• Occam’s razor suggests it is easier to believe in a creator that created the first cell and created the mechanism for evolution
• Genesis states that the universe was created by an entity outside the universe… God
• Science and the notion of the Big Bang also suggests that the universe was created by something outside the universe

Motivational Insights

• Occam’s razor suggests there IS a creator… for both the universe and life in the universe
• Knowing that there is a creator provides comfort… that the things we see and observe are not simply pure randomness
