宇宙为什么存在？难道不可能是自然发生的吗？
Why does the universe exist? Couldn't it have just happened naturally?
简答 Short Answer
宇宙有一个开始（大爆炸），而一切有开始的事物都有原因。这个终极原因必须是超越时间和空间的——这正是我们所说的上帝。
The universe had a beginning (Big Bang), and everything that begins to exist has a cause. This ultimate cause must be beyond time and space — which is what we call God.
详细解答 Detailed Answer
宇宙论论证（Kalam论证）可以这样表述： 1. 凡是有开始的事物，都有一个原因。 2. 宇宙有一个开始。 3. 因此，宇宙有一个原因。
现代科学（大爆炸理论、宇宙膨胀、热力学第二定律）都表明宇宙有一个起点。如果宇宙有起点，那么导致宇宙存在的原因必须是超越物质、时间和空间的。这个原因必须极其强大，并且具有意志（因为它选择了创造）。这些属性正是有神论者所说的上帝。
说「宇宙是自然发生的」其实是说「无中生有」，这不是科学解释，而是回避问题。
The Cosmological Argument (Kalam) can be stated: 1. Everything that begins to exist has a cause. 2. The universe began to exist. 3. Therefore, the universe has a cause.
Modern science (Big Bang theory, cosmic expansion, second law of thermodynamics) all indicate the universe had a beginning. If so, the cause must be beyond matter, time, and space. This cause must be immensely powerful and possess will (since it chose to create). These attributes match what theists call God.
Saying 'the universe just happened naturally' is essentially saying 'something came from nothing' — that's not a scientific explanation but an evasion.
