EXISTENCE OF GOD
Is there a room for him?

THE BIG BANG

Scientists are convinced
that our universe began
with
one
enormous
explosion of energy and
light, which we now call
the Big Bang. This was
the singular start to
everything that exists:
the beginning of the
universe, the start of
space, and even the
initial start of time itself.

THING IS

The universe has not always existed. It ha

EVIL & SUFFERING

The Muslim believes
that evil exists, but

pure evil as this is
based on human
subjectivity. The
proponent of the
problem of evil
faces a dilemma as
God is required as
a rational basis for
objective good and

these terms are
relative as there is

EVIL & SUFFERING

So it could be
argued that:
If God did not
exist, then
objective moral
values would not

Ultimately the
absence of any evil
or suffering would
point towards
absolute perfection,

reserved for God
alone. Life on earth
