Season 4 Podcast 156, A New Voice of Freedom, Argument for the Existence of God, Episode 7, “The Principle of Opposition B.”
To help understand the nature of God, the next assumption that I wish you to make is this:
· There must be opposition in all things temporal or spiritual, mortal or immortal.
Without opposition there would be no life. There would be no matter—no electrons, no neutrons, no protons. There would be no action. Everything would be as if it were dead. Without opposition there could be no laws, there would be no good and no evil, no God and no Satan. There would be nothing.
Science, of course, teaches us of the necessity of opposition; however, this is where philosophers of science make their greatest blunder. They believe in a giant heat death. That means in the end there would be no opposition, what they call maximum equilibrium. That is an entirely lifeless state. Since something can never come from nothing, if a giant heat death occurred, that would be it. There could be no lightning bolt to hit a bowl of primordial soup to miraculously bring forth life. How can there be lightning without opposition? If indeed the cosmos were in a state of maximum equilibrium there should be nothing rather than something
They blame the giant heat death on the expanding universe caused by the Big Bang. Yet science claims that it will restart. How can that be? In maximum equilibrium there is no opposition. Things would remain forever in the same state? How can another singularity which caused the big bang develop from dead matter? That means that something could come from nothing. There is no scientific theory that allows for the recharging of the universe where everything is dead, and no opposition exists. A dead battery cannot recharge itself.
However, atheists thrive on a theory that something came from nothing for that most certainly indicates there is no God. There is some irony in the fact that atheists mock the Christian hell yet find great delight in announcing that the universe and all life in it are going to end in a giant heat death. They believe in hell all right. They just call it maximum equilibrium. To corrupt a beautiful phrase from Romeo and Juliet, Hell by any other name ….
Whereas it is very possible that this or that solar system or this or that galaxy may end in a giant heat death. They are made of mortal matter. For example, our own sun will eventually run out of fuel. It is not possible, however, that the cosmos will ever stop producing suns, moons, stars, and planets or that life will ever cease to exist. According to the law of opposites, where there is mortal matter, there is immortal matter. The very existence of life is its own witness that life cannot be created or destroyed.
If that were not true, there never would have been life in the first place, or if as science claims life and creation began by some fluke, it would have already ended for that which begins by accident will with the same probability end by accident. Such a fate is inevitable. Not to be too playful, if something came from nothing then something would be nothing. We would live in a dreamworld.
Scientists may be correct in claiming that this or that galaxy began at this or that point, but they are entirely wrong about the age of the vast cosmos. There is one inescapable fact—life has no beginning and life will have no end else life would never have existed in the first place.
If we accept the scientific truth that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed, then we must accept the scientific truth that life cannot be created or destroyed.
