…And Then What Happened?

Over the last few weeks, we concluded that based upon scientific observation and evidence from the cosmos, and evidence that there was a First Cause that caused the universe to begin to exist. From there we were able to make some general conclusion about the nature of this First Cause. Based upon the preliminary evidence we offered a summary stating “there exists an uncaused, personal Creator of the universe, who in relation to the universe is beginningless, changeless, immaterial, timeless, spaceless, and enormously powerful.” However, rather than answer our question about the existence of God, these attributes of the First Cause that we deduced from the evidence just seem to generate more questions. Questions such as; “If a Supreme Being possessed these attributes, why would He choose to create a universe? What could be His purpose? What could He have had in mind for planet Earth? Since the act of creation was an act of the First Cause’s will, then maybe we can get a better idea of the First Cause’s purpose for creating by our looking at how He created . . . exactly. What I mean is this: by looking at how things are made can give us great insight into the One who made them.
