The
universe is not self-existent
When
the existence of God is necessary for our own existence, naturally all
other things like sun, moon, stars, heavenly bodies etc. must have also
derived their existence from the same
Self-existent Being-God. Though these bodies are very old and no human
being has seen their non-existence but reason tells us that the existence
of these huge and ancient bodies is not inseparable from their selves.
Consequently no creature, however great or old it may be, can be self-
existent. They have beginning and end according to reason. They are
not eternal, and what is not eternal cannot be God. Only God is Self
Existent and He has no beginning and. no end.
