Though astronomers have no explanation, they generally agree to the inescapable but difficult-for-atheists-to-swallow conclusion that there was a beginning to the universe. Of course, they say, it was a purely natural event that science will eventually explain. It ought to be embarrassing that the clear written declaration that there was a beginning and the explanation of how it happened and why has been staring mankind in the face for thousands of years in an ancient book. Although the Bible is the all-time bestseller worldwide, scientism scorns it, atheists ridicule it, and most of those who own it largely ignore it in their own personal lives.
