Reliance on the Big Bang Theory
Question
Hello,
In your book The First Existent (from page 182), you rely on findings discovered in the twentieth century to prove that the world is not eternal, and therefore that it requires a cause. In your opinion, is it correct to say that for someone who lived before those findings were discovered, there was no way to prove the existence of God?
Answer
Every proof is based on foundational assumptions. He assumed that the world is not eternal even without scientific findings. That is a logical assumption in its own right.
