Introduction

Regardless of what race, culture or religion, humanity by nature is nudged by what some may call our inner conscience or soul. It’s the driving force that sparks our intellectual minds to seek the answers to the most sought-after topic in the world: Our creation. Either it be through Evolutionism or Creationism to the Big Bang or a Divine Creator, we’re all intrigued by this mysterious, complex, vast universe and of course life: How we came to be and our sole purpose in life.

 

These efforts continue to leave world renown scientists baffled, struggling to understand the very mysteries that lay around us. Hypothesizing and reminiscing about scientific theories and philosophies that have become intermixed with numerous mythologies, ideologies and religions as we gauge further and further into the intricacies of our universe. New discoveries have perpetuated an endless cycle of questions, analyzing the ambiguous breadcrumbs left behind from our ancient ancestors that inquire new scientific break throughs. However, even after such great scientific achievements, we continue to expose our adolescence around the universal laws of nature and the origins of life. Therefore, many of our scientific breakthroughs are based on universal patterns that we can measure against but not built upon the root cause to the effect. Warped space-time, black holes, quantum tunneling, multidimensions, the constants of nature, dark matter, dark energy and gravity are just some examples of principles that are given as terminologies to explain a specific phenomenon we fully don’t understand.

 

Therefore, the two enigmatic beliefs around Creationism and Evolutionism are spearheaded by nothing more than humanities disagreements that perpetuate different theories, religions, ideologies, and philosophies that give rise to endless debates amongst both scientific and religious scholars. Yet, we can all agree that this universe and life itself is by far the most complex, interconnected ecosystem displaying irrefutable proof that this universe encapsulates both physical and invisible elements that drive our reality.

 

Ironically the spark of creation is where many scientific theories and religious beliefs come full circle – in fact it has turned into more of a confusing riddle.

 

We understand that “nothing” is the absence of all things: there is no matter, no energy, no substance, no potential. For something to come into being, it must at least have the potential to do so. Potential is simply the possibility of something happening or of someone doing something in the future. Since nothingness lacks even potentiality, it is not possible for something to come into being from absolutely nothing.

 

To Christians, God is the ultimate source—the divine “potential” behind all creation. He is the origin of matter, energy, time, and everything both visible and invisible and that Jesus, referred to as the Word, was the very agent through whom creation happened. As John 1:1–3 declares the following, while Colossians 1:16 echoes this truth:

​

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made.”

​

“For in Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible... all things have been created through Him and for Him.”

​

It’s important to note that, in Christianity, God is understood as one, yet revealed through three distinct persons: The Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit—each fully God with a unique role. When God says in Genesis 1:26, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness”, many see this as a glimpse into the divine collaboration within the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—working together in perfect unity. In creation, the Father gives the command (Genesis 1:3), the Son (the Word) carries it out (John 1:3), and the Spirit empowers it, bringing life (Job 33:4, Psalm 104:30). All of creation came through the full potential of God, expressed through these divine persons.

 

I must include that the same unity within the Trinity is seen not only in creation but also in the resurrection and salvation. In the resurrection, Acts 2:24 and Galatians 1:1 say that God the Father raised Jesus, Romans 8:11 speaks of the Spirit raising Him, and in John 2:19, Jesus says, “I will raise it”. In salvation, the Father sends the Son (John 3:16), the Son redeems (Ephesians 1:7), and the Spirit seals and sanctifies (Ephesians 1:13–14). Again, these verses reveal the beautiful harmony of the Trinity—one God, revealed in three persons, working together in perfect unity and always in unison and of the same divine essence (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19, Mark 12:29, John 10:30).​

​

However, many mainstream scientists shoe in the idea you don’t need God or supernatural intervention. Revolutionary developments in both cosmology and particle physics, made it clear that there's a plausible case that could result in understanding how everything can be literally created from nothing by natural processes. One example being in early 2022, strong electric fields were created in a simple laboratory setup leveraging the unique properties of graphene, enabling the spontaneous creation of particle-antiparticle pairs from nothing at all. This proved the notion that something can be created from nothing correlating to what is known as the Schwinger effect. Whereby spontaneous creation of matter can be created by a strong electric field. They didn’t need God to create the matter – it just appeared into existence.

​

As the prestigious Lawrence Krauss, a theoretical physicist and cosmologist famously said, "You can get something from nothing without any supernatural shenanigans".

​

This is extremely exciting in the scientific field and I too find personally fascinating. However, whether acknowledged or not, the very “potential” or agent to create something from nothing, were the very scientists themselves using elements that already exist – energy and graphene. This study doesn’t contribute to the idea that we don’t need a creator, but rather the contrary. 

 

Potential (scientist) + Substance (graphene) + Energy (electric fields) = Matter (particle-antiparticle pairs).

 

Some scientists attempt to disprove God by trying redefine what "nothing" literarily means. Failing to answer not only how can something come from nothing, but why is there something rather than nothing? 

​

"I find it quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There has to be some organizing principle. God to me is a mystery, but is the explanation for the miracle of existence, why there is something instead of nothing."
- Allan Sandage

 

When we see a pot, do we believe it has no potter? When we admire a beautiful garden, do we think it has no gardener? It's evident that the garden's unity, scale, balance, variety, emphasis, sequence, and boundaries—all defined by hardscape or vegetation—didn't just happen randomly in natural chaos. We understand that intelligent intervention is behind the creation of gardens, separating them from raw nature. Similarly, in the world of cloud-applications, the creation of functional programs requires the expertise of software engineers, who play a crucial role in shaping and crafting information into usable software. Likewise, in biology, DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the molecule that contains the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known living organisms. It serves as the fundamental code or blueprint for life, providing instructions for the synthesis of proteins, which are essential for the structure and function of cells and organisms. Therefore, DNA plays a crucial role in shaping and regulating biological systems, highlighting the importance of information encoded within it. Finding the language in DNA while stating it had no mind behind it, is like finding a book and stating it required no author or finding advanced software and stating it required no engineer. It happened to write itself overtime - over a very long time.

 

While some people question God's existence, we see daily evidence of intelligence all around us—not only in the universe and everything within it, but also in the way information is intricately embedded in its design. This evidence points to an intelligent agent behind creation itself.

​

“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.”

- Romans 1:20

​

Many try put boundaries around God who has no boundaries: mispresenting God as finite rather than infinite. Human beings are finite creatures, so our minds always work from a finite perspective. God is incomprehensible which is not to say that God is utterly unknowable. It is to say that none of us can comprehend God exhaustively. The finite cannot contain or grasp the infinite therefore, many like to play God rather than accept His existence.

 

Regardless of one being an atheist or theist, the notion around creation remains the same. It takes faith to accept that our universe came into existence by an uncreated creator, which has no boundaries, has always been and just is. It is a miracle that all the parameters in the universe are so extremely fine-tuned to not only support life, but allow life and all things to be created within it. Our reality is constructed by intelligent blueprints and languages expressed in patterns that structure the universe and everything within it. Recognized in scientific research through complex mathematical equations, beautiful geometry and the numerous invisible orchestras of energy, frequency and vibrations that are clearly perceived and accepted as the fundamental building blocks of all things. Corresponding to what scripture has already told us:

 

“By faith we understand the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.”

- Hebrews 11:3

​

This connection can be seen in our thoughts, emotions, reasoning, morality, and consciousness—areas where what we cannot see clearly shapes what is, what we do, and who we are.

 

By observing the world around us, we come to understand the laws of nature: the dependable rules that explain how the universe works. These include physical laws like gravity, motion, energy, and time; chemical laws that explain how substances change and interact; biological laws that describe how living things grow, adapt, and remain in balance; and the mathematical patterns that bring order and consistency to everything we observe. Together, these laws help us make sense of the physical world.

​

In a similar way, we also recognize a moral law within ourselves—an inner sense of right and wrong that guides our choices and shapes human behavior. Scripture teaches that this moral law is not learned or invented, but written by God into the human heart. As the apostle Paul explains:

​

“They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness.”

— Romans 2:15

​

This inner law exists regardless of religious belief; whether one believes in God or not, conscience remains a shared human experience, guiding human behavior through principles like the "Golden Rule". The Bible further affirms this truth when God declares:

​

“I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts.”

— Jeremiah 31:33

​

While the laws of nature govern how the world functions externally, the moral law speaks internally, guiding how we ought to live—yet allowing us the freedom to obey or break it through free will. Together, these outward and inward laws point to an underlying order in reality, suggesting that truth is not random or chaotic, but purposeful, coherent, and grounded in a source beyond ourselves.

​

But how can one determine the truth? We all know between science and theology encompass a wide variety of ideologies, traditions, beliefs, and spiritual practices across the spectrum. So where does one begin? I personally found it best to search for the answers using a very fundamental analogy through the representation of a two-sided coin: A side of science (heads) and the other theology (tails), where both sides fundamentally explain the details of creation and life representing the truth which is the coin at its entirety. Science and spirituality don’t contradict one another but rather complement one another to recognize how matter, life and moral balances came to be.

​

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

- Albert Einstein

 

By simply asking rudimentary questions you can begin unveiling truths protected layers, such as if God is allegedly a creator, do we recognize his invisible attributes within science? Does science reveal the fingerprint of intelligent design within our universal laws and molecular biology, or do they become contradictory? What is God? Do biblical records allude to modern scientific and archeological discoveries, or do they become contradictory? What was before the Big Bang if everything was created from it? Who or what created the elements that caused the Big Bang which allegedly sparked the beginning of all creation of space, time and matter? Why is there something rather than nothing? Are all religions fabricated having no foundation of spiritual influences or supernatural experiences? How can one justify morality if everything was created randomly and without purpose? Where no universal or natural principles concern the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior – it’s simply survival of the fittest which is not our realty nor human nature. If science keeps changing, how do we know what we believe today may not be what we believe tomorrow? And one of the most asked questions, is if God is loving why do we see evil in the world or why does God allow evil?

​

The questions are endless, and in both science and theology, many of them remain unanswered, requiring a measure of faith and humility in what we accept. At the same time, many questions can be explored and meaningfully addressed—and that is part of the beauty of the search for truth, which we will dive into more deeply later on.

​

It is also important to consider whether the questions being asked actually apply to the answers being sought. For example, when someone asks, “Who created God?” the question assumes that God was created and therefore exists within time and causation. However, God is understood as uncaused, eternal, and beyond space, time, and matter—making the question itself misplaced. This is similar to asking what lies south of the South Pole? By definition, the South Pole is the southernmost point on Earth, so asking what lies beyond it assumes a direction that no longer exists. In both cases, the problem is not a lack of information, but an incorrect assumption within the question itself—one that ultimately does not apply.

​

Over the years, the answers I found through science, archaeological discoveries, and the study of ancient texts strengthened my belief in God and led me to place my faith in Christ through the message found in the Hebrew Scriptures. Along the way, my research also revealed that some religious scholars reshape teachings about Jesus to fit their own agendas or ideologies, presenting altered interpretations as divine truth. Unfortunately, this includes some who identify as Christian.

​

Some scientific theories, such as the multiverse theory, are highly speculative and not supported by direct observational evidence. Yet because these ideas are discussed by respected scientists and widely covered in popular media, they can be perceived by the public as established facts rather than what they truly are—hypotheses or educated guesses based on current understanding.

​

In educational settings, these speculative theories may be taught alongside well-established scientific facts, which can blur the line between what has been experimentally verified and what remains theoretical. As a result, students may come away believing that all theories carry the same weight, when in reality some remain closer to philosophical or speculative science than to empirical fact.

​

When we step back, it becomes clear that scientific laws are often more descriptive than explanatory. They do not necessarily explain the origin of our objective reality, but instead help us understand how the universe behaves through observation, measurement, mathematical formulation, and testing. Take gravity, for example: we can observe its effects, measure its influence, and describe it with precise equations, yet we still do not fully understand what gravity fundamentally is.

​

Science and spirituality are often presented as opposing forces, yet in many ways they complement one another. Still, many people grow up believing they are as incompatible as oil and water—not necessarily because the evidence demands it, but because that is what they are expected to believe.

 

In some cases, this mindset goes even further, leading to attempts to erase Jesus Christ from history, censor His name, or deny His very existence altogether. My perspective aligns with a reflection once shared by Albert Einstein, who acknowledged that the historical existence of Jesus is difficult to dismiss, regardless of one’s personal beliefs.

 

“No man can deny the fact that Jesus existed, nor that his sayings are beautiful. Even if they have been said before, no one has said them as divinely as he.”

Viereck, George. (1929, October 26). What life means to Einstein. The Measles of Mankind, pg.117.

http://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/wp-content/uploads/satevepost/einstein.pdf

 

This highlights an important point: rejecting spirituality is not always rooted in evidence, but often in philosophical assumptions or cultural pressures. When science is allowed to remain descriptive rather than ideological, and spirituality is approached with honesty rather than agenda, the two can inform and enrich one another rather than compete.

​

In many situations, some level of trust is unavoidable. However, I believe that following either science or religion through blind trust—without the freedom to question—often leads to misunderstanding rather than truth. When voices are silenced for questioning prevailing scientific views, or when Jesus Christ is deliberately suppressed or erased from discussion, it should raise concern. It’s worth asking why such questioning is discouraged and whose interests that silence ultimately serves—their own, or yours?

 

In some ways, mainstream science can begin to take on characteristics often associated with religion—particularly when certain ideas or timelines are treated as unquestionable. Evidence that challenges the accepted narrative is sometimes dismissed too quickly, and scholars who raise alternative interpretations may face ridicule, rejection, or loss of funding. They are often labeled as pseudoscientific or accused of spreading misinformation, even when their arguments are supported by serious research. This can be harmful to society, as it discourages open inquiry and suggests that a controlled narrative may take precedence over honest investigation.

​

A historical example of this can be seen in the early controversy surrounding the theory of continental drift. In the early 20th century, German meteorologist Alfred Wegener proposed that Earth’s continents were once joined together and had gradually drifted apart. He pointed to evidence such as the complementary shapes of South America and Africa, as well as similarities in fossil records across continents. Despite this, his ideas were widely dismissed by the scientific community at the time because they conflicted with the prevailing belief that continents were fixed in place.

​

It was not until decades later—through the development of plate tectonics and new evidence from oceanographic research—that Wegener’s theory was finally validated and accepted. His experience shows how challenging mainstream assumptions can lead to resistance and ridicule, even when the evidence is strong. It also serves as a reminder that science advances best when questioning is encouraged rather than suppressed. The same pattern can be seen within theology.

​

A similar situation occurred with Martin Luther, the 16th-century German monk and reformer who challenged certain practices of the Catholic Church, most notably the selling of indulgences—essentially paying for forgiveness. Luther recognized these practices as man-made distortions of faith, much like Jesus Christ did when He confronted the turning of the temple into a marketplace. In both cases, questioning entrenched authority was met with resistance, yet ultimately played a crucial role in restoring truth and reform.

​

"In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!”"
- John 2:14-16

 

It is true that in many areas of life—including religion and science—there are individuals who take advantage of others, especially those who are vulnerable or uninformed. The Bible warns about such people, describing them as false prophets who come in “sheep’s clothing” but are inwardly “ravenous wolves.” As stated in Matthew 7:15, this warning reminds us to be cautious of those who may appear trustworthy on the surface but whose intentions are deceptive or harmful. The message applies regardless of outward appearance, authority, or credentials.

​

Unfortunately, ambitious speculation and self-serving agendas can be found within political, scientific, religious, and educational institutions around the world. That said, it is important not to dismiss all scientific theories or religious beliefs as false, deceptive, or imaginary. These subjects deserve careful study, honest questioning, and thoughtful research, along with an openness to different perspectives. Truth can still be found through credible and sincere individuals in both scientific and religious communities. To avoid being misled, we must actively pursue knowledge, since it equips us with understanding and leads to wisdom.

​

Therefore, with my love, respect and fascination for both science and theology, I thought it may be meaningful to briefly discuss such topics and possibly spark your interest to pursue after truth. Hoping you as a reader will stop for a moment and research from both sides of the coin. To conclude your own belief through the revelation of truths discovered throughout your journey as I have.

 

To gain wisdom and understanding, while placing no judgement upon others. You as an individual, to morally come to your own consensus what to believe and accept without compulsion under your own free will.
