SCIENCE, NOTHING, AND THE HAND OF GOD
We need not tremble before the discoveries of science, for no experiment, no equation, no observation of the physical universe can ever touch the very heart of God’s creative power. Science deals with what exists, with matter and energy, with the laws of nature and the patterns we can observe. But to disprove God, science would need to witness something truly created from nothing—ex nihilo—and that is a thing science, by its very nature, cannot do. For every particle it studies, every force it measures, every law it deciphers is already a part of creation, already contingent on what God has ordained.
Consider the thought carefully: suppose one day mankind somehow learns to bring matter or energy into existence from nothing, to orchestrate creation ex nihilo in a laboratory. That very act, instead of disproving God, would confirm Him. Why? Because mankind— intelligent beings—would be behind the process. Because the moment something arises from nothing, intelligence must be behind it. There must be a mind, a design, a plan orchestrating what would otherwise be impossible. By calling something into existence from nothing, man would only demonstrate the principle that creation requires a Creator, that spontaneous existence—if it occurs—cannot happen without intelligence guiding it. Even what we imagine as a “miracle of science” would be a mirror reflecting the reality of the Divine Mind.
If one day someone claimed to prove that there is no God, science would still be powerless to weigh it. For to “prove” God does not exist, there would have to be an event in which something comes truly from nothing—something appearing out of thin air. But pause and consider: how would we even know it had appeared? How could we recognize it as “something” unless it had a form, a substance, a quality that could be observed, measured, and named? And if it is recognizable, if it is “something,” then it must have come from something already existing. Nothing can appear from nothing on its own. Even the moment of apparent spontaneity points beyond itself to a cause, a design, an intelligence that orchestrates existence. In other words, the very act of witnessing something emerge “from nothing” would only point to God—the mind behind the miracle, the power behind the principle, the Creator whose wisdom is written into every corner of reality.
Moreover, even the very act of observing or measuring such an event presupposes something already exists. Our instruments, our eyes, our minds—all the molecules, atoms, and energy that make observation possible—are already part of creation. To imagine a truly spontaneous “something from nothing” that we could witness is not science; it is fantasy. There is no framework by which a human mind could verify it, because even recognition requires pre-existing reality. Let us be honest: any claim that we might scientifically see something arise from nothing is not a challenge to God—it is simply nonsense, a confusion of imagination for method. Science does not, and cannot, reach the realm of creation itself; it only explores the world God has already made.
Let us just get over ourselves. Why can’t we simply admit the facts, acknowledge reality as it is? If you don’t like religion, say so. If you are angry at God, say so. But to pretend that He is not the true God, that He does not exist, is simply refusing to look honestly at what is in front of us. Let us be scientific, let us be rational: A plus B equals C. Turn every corner—whether theoretically, philosophically, or scientifically—and there He is. There is always something; something exists; therefore, there must be a Creator. There is no escape, no loophole, no clever argument that can remove Him from the frame. Reality itself points to God, and every honest mind must reckon with it.
The tools of science are powerless against God. They can study His handiwork, marvel at His order, and even stumble upon new principles, but they cannot touch the origin of existence itself. The universe, its laws, its patterns, its particles, are all evidence of a mind far greater than ours, a wisdom that calls stars into being and breathes life into dust. Every breakthrough, every new discovery, ultimately whispers His name: “By Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible” (Colossians 1:16).
So let us walk without fear of science or knowledge. Let us embrace discovery, curiosity, and the pursuit of truth, knowing that the Creator is never threatened by the mind seeking to understand His works. Indeed, every law uncovered, every principle revealed, only points back to the Designer, the One who spoke and it was, the One whose wisdom precedes time itself. Science may reveal the how, but God alone reveals the why—and His why is infinite, unsearchable, and perfect (Romans 11:33).
