Scientists behaves the same way when they are presented with facts that are in conflict with beliefs
They become irritated, pretend does not exist, paper over with meaningless phrases

Einstein was irritated because his belief in an ever-existing universe but his calculations were not adding up this

Atheistic and pantheistic scientists also have theological beliefs
The religion of science is in search of a cause yet says the universe did not have an Eternal Causer outside of time, space and matter
Refusing to accept the facts and most reasonable conclusion
This is matter of the will, not the mind

With or without the Big Bang theory, these still remain pointing to a beginning:

• 2nd law of Thermodynamics - universe is running out of usable energy and heading to disorder
• Theory of Relativity - through observation requires a beginning
• Geology of the universe - example: uranium eventually turns to lead, meaning infinitely old universe should have all lead now vs uranium

Since the universe had a beginning, it must have a Beginner

Key Phrase: Since the universe had a beginning, it must have a Beginner
