Where Did We Come From? 5 Lines of Scientific Evidence

Where did we come from? Why are we here? And where are we going? Every worldview has to answer at least five essential questions, but which one leads us to the truth? It's been 20+ years since the original release of, 'I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist', and while the arguments haven't changed, there's now even MORE evidence to support them! To celebrate the release of the newly revised and updated edition, Frank starts at the very beginning (literally!) by examining the scientific and philosophical evidence for the origin of the universe. You'll learn: -- What are the five major questions that every worldview needs to answer (not just Christianity)? -- Can you make a scientific case for a Creator without using the Bible? -- What are the five lines of scientific evidence (easily remembered by the acronym SURGE) that the universe had a beginning? -- Is it anti-biblical to believe in the Big Bang? -- What did Edwin Hubble discover with his telescope that changed our understanding of the universe? -- How do we know the universe isn't eternal? -- What was the greatest blunder of Albert Einstein's professional career? -- What if the Big Bang is wrong? Does the beginning of the universe depend on it? -- What is one of the best philosophical arguments that demonstrates time had a beginning? -- Why are some atheist scientists now acknowledging that the universe had a beginning? -- How do we answer the age-old question, "Who made God?" The evidence may point to a Creator, but that doesn't tell us WHO that Creator is. To get from the origin of the universe to the God of the Bible, there's still more investigating to do!
