einstein-and-creation
Albert Einstein, the most renowned scientist in the history of man-kind and recipient of Time Magazine’s “Person of the Century” award, believed in an all-powerful intellegent loving God that created the universe. Self-proclaimed atheists such as Steven Hawking believe that God does not exist. In There is No Such Thing as Atheism, we make the case that actually it is atheism that does not exist.

Video Summary

  • If a rock formation like Mt Rushmore were discovered on Mars, most people would imagine that someone/something created that formation.
  • If a wrist watch were discovered on Mars, most people would imagine that someone/something created that watch.
  • If a martian were discovered on Mars, most people would NOT imagine that someone/something created that martian, even though it is many orders of magnitude more complex than a rock formation or wrist watch.
  • Evolution appears to be a plausible explanation for the existence of life.
  • According to the theory of evolution, the building blocks of life are single cells.
  • A single cell suffers from irreducible complexity. It cannot be further subdivided into smaller parts.
  • A single cell is like a very complex and sophisticated factory performing over one hundred trillion tasks. In comparison, flying to the moon entailed on the order of one hundred thousands tasks.
  • Today, the theory of evolution can’t adequately explain where that first cell came from as it is MUCH more complex than first imagined.
