The Spectacle of the Universe
Science today has provided us with very much information that
suggests the universe was created by an intelligent being. Just gleaning
through some of these facts should provide some insight on the creator and our
purpose on the planet. For example, using advanced telescopes today we are able
to see stars that are much farther and larger than the sun. It is interesting
to note that after measuring the distance from the earth in relation to these
stars and using the speed of light to estimate "what" we are
observing one cannot help but wonder how big the universe is.
It takes several light years for light from these stars to
reach earth, essentially meaning the light that leaves the star when you look
at it will travel to earth and arrive millions of years after we have
disappeared. You might even wonder if we are looking at the stars or are they
looking down at us?
The Spectacle of Earth
In similar fashion when science goes through the factors that
makes Earth a special planet one would be very careless to assume God is
non-existent or incapable. In relation to this one of the most essential
components for life of any form is water and more so liquid water. For this
essential resource to exist and in such abundance is in itself a feat. A few
miles closer to the sun and it would be impossible for this vital resource to
condense and become a liquid. A few miles further away from the sun and this
resource would freeze eliminating the possibility and existence of any complex
life forms.
The Spectacle of the human being
In line with the above thoughts on nature and God just
understanding ourselves should give us great insight on God and nature. One
close examination of our organs science will reveal how unique each one is and
how special we must be. We have already mentioned the intricacy of digestion, which
enzyme, how much, how long with this food, the questions are endless. But a
greater marvel is that of our very eyesight. We are created with eyes placed on
the front of our face; two and they are quite strategically placed to give us
sight throughout life. The concept of vision is one that has been understood
for many years yet we are unable to make a device anything close to the human
eye.
Cameras use a similar concept but require batteries and must be aimed and
shot to capture images. In our case we have a pair of fully automated cameras
that take pictures without any film from birth until death.
The above examples are just but the tip of the evidence or at
the very least proof of God's role in nature. All these accurate calculations
would not be possible without a supreme and intelligent creator.
