Christians, if the universe came to being naturallistically, how would a "Godless" universe look like?

Question

What would be different?

Answer 1

Well, you would expect there to be a lot of injustice. Like, you would expect good things to happen to bad people. You would expect a cut throat attitude to be an advantage. You would expect the weather and things that are beyond our control to often be the deciding factors in our lives. Some sci-fi writers have postulated that such a world might have, say, a lack of rain when rain was needed and that this might cause a lack of food growth and people might die of something called 'starvation'. Apparently, the theory goes that without enough food, the body loses fat and then muscle and then dies. I know, sounds crazy. In a similar vein of thought, a lack of water might cause a person to die of thirst. You know that feeling you get when your mouth is a bit dry so you go inside for a refreshing glass of lemonade ? Well, the idea goes that that feeling could actually prove 'fatal *' if it went on for a few days. And it's said that there might be things called 'desperation', 'violence', 'war' and 'crime' if there were no God.

*'the word 'fatal' was coined by sci-fi writer William Gibson, describing a property of an action or event which caused a state where the body seems to be sleeping but then it keeps on sleeping and begins to rot, the way vegetables do when we have a surplus of them (and when don't we have a surplus of vegetables, right ?). It's one of those weird sci-fi words. Interesting world, the sci-fi imaginary universes but I wouldn't want to live there.

Yep, just be glad there's God and that He keeps everything just wonderful for us!

Answer 2

the word universe means single-spoken sentence. the Bible says it all came into being by God's expressed word. a Godless universe wouldn't be a universe at all. you can't have creation without a Creator. and it wasn't created naturally, that would infer it was intrinsic of itself. it wasn't. it was divine intervention.

Answer 3

Umm there would be one! That is what the universe would look like. Nothing would be here. God is the Creator of the Universe; as has been said it can not have been its own cause.

Answer 4

Are you implying that the appearance of the universe is non-sequitur to the existence of god?

That would be correct.

Answer 5

You are living in one.

Answer 6

It would be one which didn't look as if it was balanced on a knife edge between not existing at all, and just being a diffuse cloud of helium and hydrogen gas.

Answer 7

It would look exactly like the one we live in now.

Answer 8

It would look the same as the one we have now, only you wouldn't get as many fries.

Answer 9

there is no universe now so there still wouldnt be
