In today's time, it has become fashionable to deny the existence of God. Many people call themselves atheists or agnostics. Of course, I am a theist. I believe that God is the sustainer and creator of the universe. But there are agnostics. They say that it is impossible to know if God exists or not. Agnosticism latin root means "not known." Then there are atheists. They deny the existence of God. The latin root for atheism means "no god." But I have concocted a new word, aatheism. I deny the existence of an atheist. I don't believe real atheists exist. I have never meant one in my life. I have meant people who profess to be atheists, but when they are pressed, you will find that they do not really deny God's existence. I don't think any rational thinking person believes that this universe came into being without a creator and here is why.
First, scientist tell us that the universe is 13.8 billion years old. That means that 13.8 billion years and one second ago, the universe DID NOT EXIST. It came into existence and everything that comes into existence has a CAUSE. Yes, I have read about infinite regree which suggests that the universe has always existed, but this is no more than faith. It is a belief without prove or evidence. It is what they wish and hope is true, thus belief in infinite regress is a religion and a completely unscientific one at that, due to the fact that the universe is almost 14 billion years old. Now scientist know the approximate age of the universe by studying the cosmic microwave background radiation in the universe's atmosphere. This radiation is a result of the Big Bang.The Big Bang was an explosion that started the formation of the universe (The Qur'an describes the Big Bang btw). Explosions are generally used for destruction, yet this explosion CONSTRUCTED the universe. The constructive explosions that we know of today are planned and executed by intelligent living beings, humans. How much more intelligent must the being be that constructed the universe from an explosion? But all explosions, whether destructive or constructive, have a cause. And there are two types of causes, mechanical and personal.
A mechanical cause is like a pool stick hitting the cueball, which hits that 8 ball and goes into the pocket. A personal cause has free will, so it would be the man who used the pool stick to hit the cueball. Now all mechanical causes REQUIRE a personal cause, because pool balls won't hit each other without a free willed personal cause which is outside of the mechanical system. The Big Bang is a mechanical system. Photons began to cause friction and heat and protons and electrons combined to form hydrogen atoms. This is the beginning of the Big Bang, but photons, protons and electrons do not have free will. They don't move by themselves, thus a personal cause is REQUIRED for the process to begin.
