Origin of the Universe

When are you Christians going to pull your heads out of the ground and believe the scientific evidence for the origin of the universe?

Thanks for your question. Obviously, the origin of the universe is a longstanding debate. Since I am not a scientist, I seldom think of the Creation in a scientific way, but I do try and see it logically. It seems to me if you remove a creator from the picture, you’re left with only a few logical explanations for the universe. I can think of these:

The universe is an illusion
The universe spontaneously came from nothing
The universe is eternal

I find no compelling reason to believe any of these, science notwithstanding.

If you’d like scientific evidence from a biblical perspective, I suggest, The Creator and the Cosmos, by Hugh Ross, PhD in astrophysics and founder of Reasons to Believe [reasons.org], or Understanding Intelligent Design: Everything you need to know in plain language, by William Dembski and Sean McDowell.
