no empirical test to determine the existence of a divine force”
For this reason, even Richard Dawkins has conceded that there is
no way science can disprove the existence of God - which we
understand to be a Supreme Being or “the First Cause” who
brought the universe into being.  Scientists now know that the
universe is still expanding since the “Big Bang”. Question: if
there was no “First Cause” … how and why is this still taking
place? And why is the “fine-tuning” of evolution of
extraordinary beauty is still continuing? If there was no “First
Cause” for life, how did life begin in the first place?  Surely
Logic would entail the imperative that Someone / something
pressed the “start button”.
