Nuggets from Cosmos—Atheists Won’t Admit the Obvious

The many scientific papers written on the subject of origins are filled with unproved and unprovable theories. They overflow with serious differences of opinion and outright contradictions among the experts, and many “ifs” without any basis for fulfillment. Material science has no ultimate answers. Stephen Hawking came very close to admitting this:

“What happened at the beginning of the expansion of the universe? Did spacetime have an edge [i.e., boundary] at the Big Bang. . .? The quantity that we measure as time had a beginning but that does not mean that spacetime has an edge. . . .

“If spacetime is indeed finite but without boundary or edge, this would have important philosophical implications. It would mean that we could describe the universe by . . . the laws of science alone. . . . But we do not know the precise form of the laws. . . . We are making progress [but] our powers of prediction would be severely limited . . . by the complexity of the equations which makes them impossible to solve in any but very simple situations. Thus we would still be a long way from omniscience.”
