God's Magnificent Creation
Posted by Leisa Amorosa on Friday, November 12, 2010 Under: News Update
According to Dr. Hugh Ross, Astrophysicist
(www.reasons.org/dr-hugh-ross.html), the powerful telescopes we have today,
such as the Keck telescopes, allow us to look so far back into space that we
can literally see very close to the point of creation, as the universe expands
and travels outward. Through
mathematical calculations, we have discovered that if the universe were to
expand one tenth of the 56th power faster or slower, there would be
no possibility for life on earth. It is
also a fact that if the sun was altered in any way by one percent, it could not
support life on earth. If you move the
earth one-half percent closer to the sun, it would experience a runaway boiling
off of its water. If you move the earth
one-half percent farther away, you would experience a runaway freeze-up and all
of the water on the planet would turn to snow and ice. It is not coincidence when 200
characteristics all have to be finely tuned and in place for life to exist on
earth. The probability is less than ten
to the 217th power, according to Dr. Ross. An astronomer and mathematician, Sir Fred Hoyle of Britain,
estimated that the scientific probability of evolution is one chance in ten to
the 40,000th power! The
numbers involved in that probability are so ridiculously small that he said,
“It is enough to bury Darwin and his entire theory.” He decided that there could be no other conclusion but that
biomaterials with their amazing measure or order must be the outcome of
“intelligent design.” There are no
means to support life in one hundred other solar systems similar to ours that
have been examined by astronomers and astrophysicists. It has been proven mathematically that it is
impossible for our universe to have accidentally come into existence. This is how finely tuned the universe is in
order to support life on earth. Dr.
Ross quoted one astrophysicist who said, “If someone knocks on your door, you
always assume someone is knocking. You
never say to yourself, ‘Oh, that’s just the door knocking on itself.’” With all of this evidence that God created
the universe, why would anyone want to deny that there is a divine creator and
rather believe that we just exist by chance?
Our entire universe ending up exactly in the right place as it expanded
from an explosive beginning happened by accident? In answer to that question, I will ask you, “Does your door knock
by itself, or is someone behind the knocking?”
By the way, that reminds me of what Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the
door and knock; if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to
him…” (Revelation 3:20)! We need to
consider the evidence, then go a step further and see what the Word of God has
to say about those who “forget God.”
I’ll let you look that one up for yourself in the Bible. The answer is found in the Book of Psalms,
chapter 9. Romans 1:20-21 also says,
“For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly
seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and
godhead, so they are without excuse because when they knew God, they glorified
Him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations
and their foolish hearts were darkened.”
The more people deny God and go seeking after other definitions, reasons
and purposes, the more their hearts are deceived and they fall further into
unbelief. Why not get out of the
deception and come into the truth?
Check out Hugh Ross’s website for yourself and look at his credentials;
see what he has to say about the evidence of God in space. There is much more to know than just this
little excerpt. Even the renowned
astrophysicist Stephen Hawking stated these findings have been the most
significant in our time, if not throughout all time! For more information, check out the DVD, “Journey Toward
