Can an unbelieving scientist get close to the truth about the origin of the universe?
Yes, an unbelieving scientist can get close to the truth about the universe’s origin. A physicist who studied the matter concluded that everything came from a single source of light. That is close to the truth that God is light, though he was likely an unbeliever.
Les explains that a great physicist devoted his whole life trying to arrive at the origin of the universe. His article brought himself and the reader to the conclusion that at the beginning everything came from a single source of light. Les says, “That’s God! God is light!” He notes the man was so close to the truth, yet likely a rank unbeliever, because he saw everything expanding from one source of light and even imagined it could all go back into that source. Les connects this to God pulling everything back into the original source of light and energy, destroying everything as the elements melt with fervent heat, and creating new heavens and a new earth, as Revelation tells us, and so does Peter.
