Some will say to me, hasn’t science disproved the existence of God?
Well no, science hasn’t disproved any such thing. In fact, I would say that science proves the existence of God.

Which Cause
Take the question of why the water in the kettle is boiling. You could look at this and say, the electricity is flowing in the copper wire in the base of the kettle, which, because of the resistance to the flow of the electrons, gets hot, and that heat gets transferred to the adjacent water, which then gets hot, and because of convection currents, that heat gets distributed throughout the water and so it boils.
Now that is one answer, the “scientific” answer to the question of why the water boils in the kettle.
But of course, another answer as to why the water in the kettle is boiling, is because my wife wants to make some coffee and so she switched it on.
It is a totally different answer to the same question.
And just because you understand about electrons and convection, doesn’t mean you have disproved my wife’s existence.
In fact, just the opposite, because you need to have a reason why the electrons have started to flow in the wires in the first place, and a reason that the wires are configured in that way, and a reason that the kettle exists and has been filled with water.
These are all questions that science can’t answer, but still need to be answered.

Cosmology
This brings us to the field of cosmology
Cosmology is the study of the nature, origins and fate of the universe.
One of the basic questions of cosmology is whether there is a God – whether the universe as we know it could have come about without there being a God.
A lot of discussion in this field evolves around whether there is an ultimate cause of the universe. Just like my wife caused the water in the kettle to boil, is there a cause for the universe being here?
These arguments have been around a long time. Thomas Aquinas in the 1200s put a lot of thoughtinto it. William Lane Craig has popularised these ideas more recently.

A Beginning?
The first question to answer is, did the universe actually have a beginning or did it always exist? We see change occurring – wind blows, children are born, people die, etc, and the laws of physics say that you can’t have change happening forever, without something causing it to happen. You can’t set a wheel in motion and it will spin forever. It will eventually run down and stop. And, of course, something must have set it in motion in the first place. You can’t have perpetual motion machines. They don’t exist. So, the universe must have had a time when it was started moving, when change started. So, it must have had a beginning.

Scientists talk about the Big Bang being the beginning of the universe as we know it. They look at things like the Cosmic Microwave Background, which is the radiation we can detect coming from the universe, and they deduce that this radiation must have had a beginning. They talk of how the universe is expanding and again deduct that this expansion must have hada beginning. So, yes, the universe must have had a beginning.

A Cause?
Well, if it must have had a beginning, something must have caused it to begin. Nothing happens in this universe without a something making it happen. The kettle didn’t start boiling on it’s own, my wife switched it on. In that case, my wife is the “cause”. That cause must be outside the universe, not part of the universe, otherwise it couldn’t havecaused the universe! Because it would be causing itself, and that makes no sense. So, we know the cause is not part of the universe, and is separate from the universe.

Other aspects of the cause
And we can figure out other things about this cause:
1. Eternal
The universe had a beginning, but this cause, must not have had a beginning, otherwise it would also need a beginning. And you can’t have an inifinite number of causes, there must be an ultimate cause that has no beginning, so we can say that that cause must be eternal. It must have always existed.
2. Conscious
But we are talking about a cause here. To cause something means something changed – in other words, the cause, for some reason, decided to start, to cause the universe. It decided to do something, and it thought about that. So we can say that the cause must have a will and consciousness.
3. Power, knowledge
And if that cause caused the universe, in all its size, magnificence and complexity
Then we can say that this ultimate cause must have an incredible amount of power and knowledge and wisdom. It must know beauty, love, relationships and not only that, when we look at this world, we see are caused to appreciate beauty and love and relationships. These must all be things that the Ultimate Cause knows and understands and values
Ultimately, we are describing the God of the Bible! He is the Ultimate Cause.
4. Relational
If we are designed to have relationships with each other and with God, then it follows that God is relational, that implies that God must be relational within himself, which lines up with the idea of God being Trinity – an eternal relationship between Father, Son and Spirit.
It is the loving relationship within the Trinity that gives us the reason why Godcreated us.
We get hints of this in John 17. It wasn’t because they were lonely and needed us, but because they wanted to bless us with having a loving relationship with them and with each other. This is why true Christianity is all about our relationship with God. Being a Christian means being in relationship with God through Jesus, and sin is not so much about what we do, but about our breaking of that relationship that we were created for. by ignoring God, by rejecting his rightful place in our lives.

Objections?
Now, not surprisingly, some people object to this line of reasoning. Richard Dawkins is an atheist who is happy for people to propose an Ultimate Cause, just as long as you don’t call it God. But you can’t have it both ways. The Ultimate Cause, must be exactly like the God of the Bible. Now, admittedly, as Dawkins points out, we also see some horrible things in this universe, ugly, evil things. And this is David Attenborough’s objection too.

But, firstly, for us to come to those conclusions, that evil is something that we find repellent, means that God must have given us the ability to react in that way, so he must have those reactions too. He also finds evil repellent. So saying that God is an evil monster doesn’t make sense.
In fact, I reckon that the Bible gives us a reasonable explanation for the existence of evil,and it all revolves around us humans and our rejection of God. The very fact that Jesus came into this world, shows that God, is in fact the opposite to being a evil monster. God entered our world to do something about the evil in it, and suffered the consequences.

Other objections
Other objections to what I have talked about here, from my investigation of them, either involve the universe creating itself, which makes no sense, or are variations of perpetual motion machines, again which make no sense. Other objections, when thought about, are in fact reasons for deciding that the God of the Bible does indeed make sense.

Conclusion
Science hasn’t disproved God, it is perfectly reasonable, and I would say, the logical thing, to conclude that God exists not just for the reasons I have mentioned today. There are many more arguments that make a belief in God a thoroughly scientific conclusion.
