French President Nicolas Sarkozy spoke at a conference of scientists last week. They are involved in building an atom smasher to investigate what the universe looked like right after the “Big Bang.” His comment is extremely telling of the secular spirit that encompasses today’s Europe. Here is a quote from that conference:
“Your work represents the oldest dream of man since he tried to understand and transform what goes on around him,” Sarkozy said. “Why is there something rather than nothing?”
According to the French President, the “oldest dream of man” is to comprehend the reason for existence. In other words, we are still trying to figure out “why” existence is. It is a sad commentary on the Europe which once birthed Martin Luther’s Reformation, the Huguenots, and the tsunami of Biblical truth that followed. Sarkozy is putting his faith in man’s science rather than using common sense that there is an intelligent Designer who is capable of making something out of nothing. A society that doesn’t understand it’s purpose or reason for existence is condemned in their minds to wander aimlessly fulfilling biological functions and a patchwork of random events that appear to be a road to the precipice of emptiness. This is the point where all truth becomes relative and morality is defined by man’s observance of himself. If this is the case, then man can never answer the “why” question because it demands a definitive answer.
God is the definitive answer to every question that asks about purpose and reason. He simplifies the complexity. He is absolute. He is the supreme Designer. He is the Architect. He is the embodiment of truth. The very one who is all of this loves each one of us individually enough to die as a sacrafice for our sins. We biologically exist because God created. We spiritually exist because we are made in His image. We find our purpose in Him. An open Bible thus becomes more powerful than the biggest atom smasher.

The answer to the “why do we exist”question is found in Genesis 1:1Genesis 1:1

The First Book of Moses, Called Genesis 1 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
