Dammit, I can't throw e-books at the wall.

These two quotes were in the same chapter of Sproul's Guide to the Bible.

Contrary to this thought, even contemporary theories of evolution affirm that there was a beginning—a time when things were not and a time when things were. Of course, these theories hold that by blind chance, all matter in the universe gathered into a single point and then exploded, leaving us with swirls of matter that would eventually condense into suns and planets and all living things.

These theorists have more faith than I do. To believe that all of this took place with no Creator, no grand designer, and no one shouting, “Runners to your mark,” takes a great deal of confidence in pure speculation. In fact, scientists’ own law of inertia makes a case against them. Even Captain Von Trapp in The Sound of Music knew better than this when he crooned, “Nothing comes from nothing . . . nothing ever could.”

The presupposition that “things at rest tend to stay at rest” begs the case against this sleeping nothingness suddenly and without notice coming together to create something: and not just something. Nothingness exploded, spontaneously formed light, billions of galaxies, the Grand Tetons, alligators, and eyelashes. Although they would not like to be given this distinction, these are people of great faith.

When our children were small, sometimes they would argue with my decisions, especially those decisions that affected them. Sometimes, after my unsuccessful attempts to build my case, I would simply say, “It’s going to be this way, just because it is.”

God is eternal. He has no beginning and no end.
He was not created; He was the Creator.

This is not an argument for the existence of God that I'm fond of making, but the fact of the Creation and the reality of the Creator are true just because they are. Given the alternatives to these truths—like the “Big Bang” or natural selection—my sincere hope is that you will simply come to the point of believing that God is and that He was the Creator . . . just because. For there to be a beginning, there must be something or someone who has the very power of being itself first to start the cosmic process in motion.

I love how he pretends he understands science, but mostly, as theology goes, that's really fucking shaky, dude. (Nenya: The logic is not strong with this one) And please talk to some Rabbis about the first lines of Genesis.
