Seminar by Spike Psarris Apologetics Symposium Cedar Park Church, Bothell WA May 4, 2016 What is the origin of the cosmos? Creationists believe the Universe is the handiwork of our Creator God. Conversely, atheists claim the Universe made itself in a Big Bang event, roughly 14 billion years ago. In this upcoming talk, former atheist Spike Psarris will discuss some of the evidence against the atheistic position. He then will go further and show that an atheistic approach to cosmology is self-contradictory. Astronomy and cosmology are based on physics, which in turn is based on certain assumptions about how the Universe works. The Bible affirms that these assumptions are true. Therefore, a Biblical approach to cosmology is valid. But atheism, when taken to its logical conclusion, denies those assumptions. Therefore, an atheistic approach to cosmology is invalid. Although there is much scientific evidence against atheistic origins models, the problem for atheists goes even deeper than this. Physics itself discredits an atheistic origin for the cosmos—and confirms that it was created by the Lord. About the Speaker: Spike Psarris is a former engineer in the U.S. military space program. He entered that program as an atheist and an evolutionist. He left it as a creationist and a Christian. Spike now writes and speaks on Biblical creation. He has published six articles in Creation magazine, one in CMI's Technical Journal, and is the author of the DVD series, "What you aren't being told about astronomy” (http://store.nwcreation.net/whyouarbetoa.html). __________________________________________________________________ This seminar was recorded during our Apologetics Symposium at Cedar Park Church in Bothell Washington (http://www.cedarpark.org/).
