Salman Ahmed Shaikh

“Prof. Lawrence Krauss writes: “The declaration of a First Cause still leaves open the question, ‘Who created the creator?’ After all, what is the difference between arguing in favour of an eternally existing creator versus an eternally existing universe without one?” Big Bang has proved that this universe had a beginning 13.7 billion years ago. It is not an eternally existing universe. The lifeless matter cannot be conceived as creating itself independently. We use matter and reshape it into different forms to make aeroplanes, rockets, spaceships, skyscrapers and expansive gardens. We, humans, having the power to form and deform matter through construction and destruction can also not be our own creators and this universe. We have barely come to exist since few hundred thousand years ago on this planet. We know and recognize by experience and observation our physical limits and fallibility. Our behavioural contradictions and fallacies are so much well documented that the busiest field in economics these days is behavioural economics.”
