To: Solon who wrote (34052 ) 3/10/2013 4:29:45 AM From: Greg or e Respond to ‘What all this goes to show is that nonsense remains nonsense, even when talked by world-famous scientists.’ (p. 32)John Lennox Posted on September 29, 2010 4 This is, of course, simply a stream of words which signifies nothing. Precisely because there is nothing, as the esteemed Professor points out, there is no ‘it’ to create itself. For something to create itself, whether from nothing or from pre-existing matter, is a meaningless juxtaposition of words, because it holds that something can exist prior to its own existence in order to cause itself to come into existence. Moreover, how could there be such a thing as the law of gravity, when there was nothing? As G. K. Chesterton famously said, ‘When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing — they believe in anything’. It is with some amusement then, that we observe the contradiction of prominent members of the modern scientific establishment sneering at the faith of religious believers as a mindless superstition , while one who has been described by ABC News as ‘the smartest man in the world’ is able to say, apparently without joking, that the concept of multiple hypothetical universes, none of which has ever been demonstrated to exist, and indeed for the existence of which there is not the slightest shred of empirical evidence, simply explains everything we need to know. Who is really the believer in foolish fables, we might legitimately ask?
