“Be
careful when a naked man offers you a shirt.”
African proverb
Let us take this universe with all its stars, galaxies, and dark matter. Now condense it into a ball the size of our solar system.
Let us take this giant ball of 4.5 billion kilometres and condense it to the size of our sun. Now, with this 4.3 million Kilometres, keep going until we reach the diameter of the earth, then a watermelon, then an apple, then a petit pois, then an atom. Be careful now, you have quite a mass.
Now the trick is to convert it to nothing. Absolutely nothing. No space, no time, just nothing. What is nothing? How can you get something from nothing in the physical sense. How can we get our heads round nothing. It is like infinity, our mind has walls.
Can you explain this paradox? There is no theory in science where you get something from nothing. So be careful when a naked man offers you a shirt.
An intelligent mind outside space and time brought the universe into being. The universe has all the hallmarks of purposeful designer which will be dealt with in the next episode.
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth — Genesis 1:1
Quandary: a difficult situation; a practical dilemma.
