But modern science—especially discoveries of the last century—has raised new questions that some interpret as consistent with the idea of a creator. First, the universe appears to have had a beginning. In 1929, Edwin Hubble discovered that space is expanding. Reversing that expansion mathematically suggests the universe began about 13.8 billion years ago in an extremely hot, dense state—the Big Bang. This challenged the earlier belief in an eternal universe. A beginning raises the question: what caused it? Since space and time began with the universe, any cause would have to be outside space and time, immensely powerful, and independent of matter. While science does not identify such a cause, some argue this description resembles what many call God. Second is fine-tuning. The laws of physics contain constants—such as the strength of gravity, electromagnetism, particle masses, and the rate of cosmic expansion—that determine how the universe behaves. If many of these values were even slightly different, stars would not form, atoms would not remain stable, and life as we know it could not exist. Some scientists propose a multiverse to expl
