Cosmological Argument for the existence of a Creator
Premise 1: Everything that had a beginning has a cause
Premise 2: The universe had a beginning (see evidence below)
Conclusion: The universe had a cause (which we call God)
+ Second law of Thermodynamics -- with each passing moment, the universe is running out of usable energy. This implies the universe could not have existed eternally in the past.
+ Universal expansion -- the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. Tracing this back in time points us back to an initial point when the universe (space, time, and matter) began to exist. This implies that something non-physical and timeless must have created this universe since all space, matter, and time was created in the initial 'Big Bang'.
+ Radiation -- the background radiation in the universe discovered by accident. It was predicted many years earlier that if the Big Bang occurred, this cosmic afterglow would results.
+ General Relativity -- Einstein's equations which have been proven true to 5 decimal places demands an absolute beginning to time, a conclusion that Einstein himself could not stand.
