Now, the Quran asks a very simple question
in chapter 52, verse number 35 of the Koran,
[أَمْ خُلِقُواْ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَىْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُونَ]
Well, they created from nothing, or they themselves are the creators of themselves.
Now, if you speak to an educated atheist,
they will not deny the fact that the universe had a beginning
because this is pretty much scientifically proven through the expanding universe,
for example, we know that had a beginning since it's still expanding.
However, when you start speaking to them about what happened before the universe,
this is when you get an unsure answer, they'll say, we don't know.
And this is the first point of contention.
If they don't know, then why do they call themselves atheists?
Since that word means without God
and agnostic, which is a better word, means without knowledge,
because it comes from the two Greek words, a without a meaning without and gnostos
those meaning knowledge, meaning without knowledge. Moving on now.
If you really want to stop an atheist in his tracks
or you really require is one deductive argument.
And deduction has always been part of the scientific method and math,
and thus is really the strongest kind of logical argument.
Now the argument goes like this.
That everything, number one,
everything that begins to exist has a cause.
Let me say that one more time.
Everything that begins to exist has,
of course. And number two.
That the universe began to exist.
As we've just mentioned.
Three logically follows, which is the universe, therefore, has a cause
Now, the question is the question is what kind of causes this?
Because if we say that that cause had a cause
and that cause had a cause and that cause had a cause
and we go regressivity infinitely backwards
then we'd have an infinitely regressive flight.
Thus, it's completely appropriate and completely necessary
for that for that cause to be uncaused, to have no beginning.
And to have the knowledge and creative capacity to change the situation.
So the only way an atheist can really destroy
this argument is by destroying one of its premises
one, which is that the universe that everything
that begins to exist has, of course,
they can try and prove that, but they don't have to show why and how
things don't come into existence popping into existence on a day to day basis.
They won't be able to show you this scientifically or empirically.
The other premise is that the universe began to exist,
as we said, science pretty much confirms this reality.
Now, this really I will leave it open for the atheists,
try and break down this logical argument.
Try and break it down.
Another argument that you can bring forward to
the atheists is what's referred to commonly as the fine tuning argument.
Now, before I begin, I want to define fine tuning in as
the universe is so fine tuned that it would allow life to exist.
I'm not talking necessarily
about esthetics, how beautiful the universe is or whatever.
I'm talking about this particular definition that allows life,
any kind of life to exist anywhere in the universe.
Now, if you look at Paul Davis, for example, as a cosmologist,
he said that that now there is broad basically agreement.
He said there's broad agreement between the physicists and cosmologists
that the universe is fine tuned for human life.
And this is a broad agreement between theists
and atheists, believers and disbelievers. Right.
So you don't have to believe in God to to recognize this reality
that there are three, you know,
three actual options, as you can choose one of them.
So how this universe became so finely tuned,
option number one, is that it evolved somehow.
Well, this option is not available in physics, and there's no actual evidence
of that actual and no serious physicist has ever made such a proposition.
Thus, it's unscientific. Thus, you cannot say that
option number two is that the universe
is like this because this a random generation it is a chance factor.
And this is what lots of atheists actually do say.
But having said that,
if you look at Roger Penrose, he's a physicist in Oxford University.
He was talking about the entropy,
the entropy levels at the beginning of the universe.
And he says that the the possibility of the entropy level
being the way it is in the beginning of the universe is.
And he says 10 to the power of 10 times 123.
And that's a big number.
That's just one calculation for one of the components
of the universe in the beginning of the early stages of the universe.
Now, having said that, you should know through just this evidence
that saying it is a chance fact that the universe came into being
is a ridiculous option that shouldn't even be uttered.
The third option is that there was a designer,
there was a creator, there was an inventor.
This makes more sense, doesn't it?
OK, if you don't want to admit it now, it does not.
So you don't want to admit it, it doesn't matter.
I just want to say something to you guys,
to the atheists. Seriously.
This is why I went to say.
That you're going to need to logically follow these arguments
and put forward you these arguments make sense.
They're logically grounded, but you don't need to follow them
because it's actually a natural predisposition to believe in God.
And as the Anthropological Society of Oxford University
have concluded through some very, very, very, very
important studies that have happened in 2011, for example,
that belief in God is predisposed belief within children.
So to believe in God,
You don't have to actually follow any logic whatsoever.
You don't have to be a smart person.
It should be a natural thing. So I say this.
I say it's time now,
it's time to stop fooling ourselves. It's time.
What did you say, and I'll say it one more time,
I said, it's time, it's time.
To release yourself
from the suppresive shackles of racism
that are stopping you from realizing your true potential,
once you've completely taken
those shackles away from yourself and liberated yourself from atheism
and released your predisposed self, that's the true self, your true self.
Once you've done that, then and only then
will you realize both peace and purpose in life.
