Greetings everybody, I am new to the forum, but look forward to conversing with you all. As you can tell from my user name, I have a strong affinity for God's word, but I respect everyone's right to hold their beliefs.
The origin of light is the same whether you are an evolutionist, an atheist, a YEC or an OEC. Light today is generated from an energy source, like when electrons change quantum energy states.
The question really comes down to "what/who is the 'first mover'?"
Where did the electron come from, what/who instilled its initial energy, what/who created the physical laws that govern the physical relationships, is it possible to have energy before matter, etc.
These questions are all really about the first mover. How would an evolutionist answer these questions?
The creationist's answer is the universe originated from "God."
The atheist's answer is the universe originated from "nothing."
There is nothing particularly scientific about the "nothing" answer, and there is nothing particularly unscientific about the "God" answer.
