Creation is a quality of God alone because he is the Creator.

As William Lane Craig (Research Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology in La Mirada, California and author / editor of over thirty books) puts it, if something started to exist, there must be a cause.

The two arguments I will be using to support my claim that God created the Universe are the “First Cause”, or better known as the “Kalam Cosmological argument” and the “Intelligent Designer argument”.

The Kalam Cosmological argument states that whatever started to exist must have a creator, therefore since the universe started to exist it has to have a creator that is infinite and without beginning. This infinite being I conclude, must be God. There has to be an infinite to start the universe; the universe is finite, since it began to exist. There must have been someone or something that caused everything, someone infinite. So now we know that everything has a cause, even the universe, and the first cause is God.

The Intelligent Designer argument looks at the precision and the details of creation to deduce that creation was a work of God. If we look of the “blueprints “of the Earth, there is something peculiar about it. The earth has the perfect resources for us to survive. It is at the perfect angle for the climate and habitats to form. It is also the perfect distance from the sun, not too close to be too hot and not too far to be too cold. Human beings and animals are made in a way to survive in the given conditions their habitat provides. An intelligent designer must have planned it out. That designer must have existed forever, for the designer was the cause of our life. In conclusion, that designer must be God.

Science cannot prove how everything started, for example, if the big bang theory did happen (not that I am against it) how did it happen and where did the cause of this reaction come from. As I have explained, God created everything. He was that first cause and the intelligent designer. Creation is a quality of God alone. If something started to exist there must be a creator.
