Atheism Undermines Science?

Dr. William Lane Craig explains that current and mainstream cosmology and science is comfortable and consistent with Christianity.


This guy is a little slow. First off, the big bang is the start of the universe as we know it, not the start of energy itself (energy cannot be created or destroyed). I personally, as an atheist, do not believe that the universe came from nothing—so this guy is wrong in lumping all atheists into that belief-set. The energy of the universe is supposedly distributed in such a way because of The Big Bang. In other words, The Big Bang is not an explanation for energy itself (which should be mind-numbingly obvious).

Just because our science is ignorant to the time before the big bang does not imply that NOTHING existed before it, and that we need some intelligent creator to cause such a reaction.

When a volcano erupts, do we need to believe that a 'volcano god' is responsible? Well, no. Why? Because we understand the forces behind volcano eruptions. The problem here is not nothingness, but a lack of scientific understanding. I like to think of the Big-Bang as a cosmic eruption, not from nothing, but from an unknown. The people that believe that a god is needed to make Big Bangs occur are as ridiculous as cavemen believing in a rain gods.
