Did God create the universe? Stephen Hawking said no because there’s no time before the Big Bang. But here's why he can be wrong.

1. Time before our time: God could exist in a separate timeframe
2. Simultaneous creation: God's decision and his act of creation could occur at the exact same moment in time beginning

Tolerance isn't agreement - it's actually respectful disagreement. But it’s clearly not practiced by those opposing this pro-life event.

Why tolerance matters:
- prevents hatred and violence
- Jesus calls us to love our enemies

Loving disagreement is possible and important.

Thomas Samuel, once a devout Muslim seeking jihad, had his life changed by a dream of Jesus. This isn't unique - Muslims worldwide report similar visions, challenging their beliefs about Jesus's identity and his crucifixion.

These experiences reveal truths contrary to Islamic teachings: Jesus did die on the cross for the world's sins.

A powerful story of faith transformation.

As a teenager, Dr. Stephen Meyer struggled with whether his life could have any real meaning.

But over time, Meyer came to a profound conclusion: an infinite creator opens the possibility for enduring significance. And if the universe had a beginning, then we have good reason to believe that our purpose is objective and real.

The atheist Peter Atkins reveals a surprising stance: No evidence could convince him of God's existence. Even if stars spelled out a message, or he met Saint Peter at heaven's gates, Atkins would dismiss it as madness or a dream.

This raises an important question: If no evidence would ever be acceptable for Atkins, why does he ask Christians for evidence?

The atheist, Dr. Peter Atkins, tries to explain how the universe came from nothing. He acknowledges that he needs to start with "absolutely nothing" but then he claims that this "nothing" has properties and can "roll over." Furthermore, he suggests people are "deluded" if they think the physical universe exists.

This highlights just how difficult it is to be an atheist in light of the developments of modern science.

The scientific community's acceptance of the Big Bang Theory over the Steady State model has profound implications for our understanding of the universe's origin.

Dr. Stephen Meyer points out that, for materialists, this posed a particular problem because a beginning of the universe strongly implies a God who created the universe.

The origin of the universe poses a serious problem for atheists - how do you get something from nothing?

Dr. Hugh Ross critiques physicist Lawrence Krauss's attempt to solve this puzzle. Ross points out that Krauss’s "nothing" is actually quantum fluctuations in a vacuum. So Krauss’s “nothing” is actually something, and the origins of this “something” need to be explained.
