Now why would Jastrow admit that there are “supernatural forces at work? Why could not natural forces have produced the universe?

Because these scientists know as well as anyone that natural forces were created in the Big Bang.

In other words, the Big Bang was the beginning point for the entire physical universe.

Time, space, and matter came into existence at this point. There was no natural world or natural law prior to the Big Bang.

Since a cause cannot come after its effect, natural forces cannot account for the Big Bang.

Therefore, there must be something outside of nature to do the job. That is exactly what supernatural means.

The discoverers of the afterglow, Robert Wilson and Arno Penzias both initially believed in the Steady State Theory. But due to the accumulating evidence, they have since changed their views and acknowledged facts that are consistent with the Bible.

Penzias admits, ” The Steady State Theory turned out to be so ugly that people dismissed it. The easiest way to fit observations with the least number of parameters was one in which the universe was created out of nothing in an instant and continues to expand.”

What do atheists say about this?

Are there any other atheistic explanations out there that may be plausible?
