Why Is There Something Instead of Nothing?” By Wongelu Wolde

🌀 This is not just a philosopher’s question — it’s the foundation of how we see life, God, and meaning.

If the universe had a beginning, what caused it?
If nothing created everything, how?
Why does anything exist at all?

Let’s break it down — spiritually, logically, and practically.


🌌 1. Nothing Can’t Create Something

Think of absolute nothing — no matter, no time, no space, no laws.
Can such “nothing” produce a universe filled with stars, gravity, DNA, and consciousness?

🧠 Example: A blank canvas can’t paint itself. Nothing doesn’t explode, doesn’t think, and doesn’t plan.
👉 Something eternal must exist outside the universe to bring it into being.

The Bible says:

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” – Genesis 1:1
It makes more sense than “nothing did it.”


⚖️ 2. Everything That Begins Has a Cause

This is the Law of Causality — a foundational truth of science.
The universe began. Therefore, it must have a cause.
That cause cannot be made of matter, space, or time — it must be eternal, powerful, intelligent, and outside the system.

💡 Sounds a lot like… God.


❤️ 3. Meaning and Morality Demand More Than Atoms

If we are just particles from a cosmic accident, why do we care about love, justice, beauty, or truth?
Why do we even ask, “Why am I here?” if there is no purpose?

✝️ Example: A computer doesn’t cry over loss. But a soul does.

We long for purpose — because we were created with it.


🔁 4. The Bible’s God Answers the Question

Only God — eternal, uncreated, outside of time — explains why anything exists at all.
He is not just “a being,” but the Source of being itself.

“For by Him all things were created… all things were created through Him and for Him.” – Colossians 1:16

Without Him, the universe has no foundation, no cause, no meaning.


✨ Final Thought:

The question isn’t just why is there something instead of nothing —
The real question is:
➡️ What are you doing with the life you’ve been given?
Because the One who gave it… wants to walk with you.
