And God said unto Moses,
I AM THAT I AM:
Exodus 3:14
"So why do naturalistic scientists continue to face daunting anomalies, to the point where they claim things they see in their telescopes cannot exist? Hunter argues that the theological arguments continue to be so strong in their minds, naturalism must be right. Even atheists today, like Jerry Coyne, wield that argument. Naturalism is true by default, because ‘God wouldn’t do things this way.’
Of course, the god they had erected is a false god—an idol—that they have created in their own image. They make a straw god they can knock down, so that they can pursue naturalistic causes at all costs, even when their models are falsified, even when anomalies pile up that militate against naturalism.
How about considering the true God of Scripture?
He is a God who does intervene.
*He is a personal God who made beings in His image with free will. *This God judges sin,
*and cursed the creation because of it.
*He is a God who allows evil to exist, but not forever.
*He flooded the Earth after sufficient opportunity for the sinners to repent,
*and He will burn up the present heavens and Earth in judgment after sufficient time for the nations to hear the message to repent and believe the gospel.
**This is the kind of Creator that explains the observations, such as the fine-tuning of the Universe and the Earth and the complexity of life, and provides the necessary and sufficient causation for them. Oh, but they hate that God! They can’t knock Him down." CEH
