nificant place of evidence for the Big Bang is the amount of
hydrogen and helium gases in space. In the latest calcula-
tions, it was understood that the hydrogen-helium concentra-
tion in the universe complied with the theoretical calculations
of the hydrogen-helium concentration remaining from the Big
Bang. If the universe had no beginning and if it had existed
forever, its hydrogen constituent should have been complete-
ly consumed and converted to helium.
The Big Bang Theory, which implies that the universe
came into being out of nothing, meaning that it was created,
ultimately destroyed the claim of the materialist philosophy
that the universe had always existed and would always exist.

100. How do materialists explain the human
spirit?
Materialists who imagine that everything consists of mat-
ter, are never able to explain the human spirit and conscious-
ness. As we know, the building blocks of everything on the
earth, including the human body, are the atoms. This means
that all beings, living or non-living, are formed by the combi-
nation of atoms in different forms. This is what troubles mate-
rialists most.
Man is a conscious being with willpower, who can think,
speak, reason, judge and comprehend. It is impossible for
such a being to have emerged out of random coincidences by
the spontaneous combination of unconscious atoms as mate-
rialists claim. It is impossible for atoms that are not able to
think, reason, and judge to come together with a sudden deci-
sion to form the human spirit.
