Who Made God?

My dear philosopher friend WJ:

As you have advised me again and again, not to seek science support for Bible. Dare I suggest that you not to bury your head in all the philosophical jungles that are far away from reality..( Sorry, for not able to come up with a better terminology, perhaps our friend

Dio can come to my rescue for a better expression. If "jungle" offends you, please excuse my stupidity which prevents me from catching up philosophically with you.)

However, I strongly believe that our Creator God is the One who created this universe and the same One who inspired the Bible writers from Moses to prophets to 4 gospel writers to Paul, Peter, John...etc Therefore what natural laws God put in nature will not contradict what He inspired Bible writers to put down in Bible. If we encounter superficial contradictions between science and Bible, it is because we misinterpret Bible or science hasn't advanced there yet. It shouldn't be too far away when some day science & Bible will converge.( of course, Bible is not a science text book! I am not that naive.) Without this strong conviction, I won't spread the Gospel to anyone at all. If Almighty God can't do any miracles, then He is not our Creator God at all. Please don't treat Bible miracles as fairy tales. Miracles don't happen everyday, but they do happen, God willing.

Here is a brief quote from Arno Penzias, worth your thinking. It is interesting that more and more liberal Bible scholars and modern philosophers have tried to discredit Bible, especially Genesis, many outstanding scientists have come out to prove that Bible is trustworthy. Perhaps it is about time that you give Bible a reality test; checking its validity and reliability, and not discard the traditional beliefs just because they are traditional.

"The best data we have concerning the big bang are exactly what I would have predicted, had I nothing to go on but the five books of Moses, the Psalms, the Bible as a whole." --Arno Penzias(astrophysicist and Nobel laureate) in The New York Times, 12 March 1978

I've enjoyed reading " Who Made God?" Searching for a theory of everything. Hope you may read it too.

...This beginning  of our universe can be modeled in various ways such as a ‘hot big bang’ singularity, but all such models point to an origin in which space, time, matter and energy came into being ex nihilo (out of nothing) — just as the biblical hypothesis of God predicts. Current scientific cosmologies thus imply the existence of a non-physical realm (we’ll call it ‘eternity’) that transcends space and time and within which the physical universe was created. We shall discover that the hypothesis of God correctly predicts what science is only now beginning to reveal about this non-physical realm...

I hope above brief quote (from " Who made God?"  by Edgar Andrews) echoes Genesis 1, that God created our universe out of nothing.
