There must be a universe in which self-replicating life already exists before evolution through natural selection can function. How the cosmos came into existence is a haunting question that atheists and evolutionists attempt to avoid. They respond to this mystery with “once upon a time” it suddenly appeared, though no one knows how. As for life, they cling to spontaneous generation as their messiah. This mythical savior miraculously arose out of total sterilization caused by a giant fireball familiarly known as the Big Bang.
Atheists reject biblical miracles that fulfill hundreds of specific prophecies attested to by scores of eyewitnesses over a period of centuries. They do, however, accept two non-biblical miracles, though witnessed by no one: the astonishing appearance of the energy that fueled the Big Bang, and spontaneous generation of life. Evolutionists bow reverently to this two-headed Phoenix that arose mysteriously out of giant fireball, though Pasteur long ago exposed it as mere superstition. The law of biogenesis, upon which all scientists agree, declares it to be impossible: life can only come from life.
