Is The Universe a Coincidence?
"Everyone who, regardless of his field, studies science seriously is to read the following phrase on the door of the temple of science: 'Have faith' ".
Famous German physicist Max Planck
If some one sees paintings without seeing artists painting them, he wonders who its painter is. Later, he praises the artist at length for his beautiful work of art. Despite the fact that he faces numerous originals of the natural world is painted the moment they turn around. Who is the only owner of all these beauties?
Some people claim that all in the universe is due to the theory of evolution. According to the theory, inorganic molecules formed amino acids by chance, amino acids formed proteins by chance, and finally proteins formed living creatures again by chance.
On the other hand, how is it possible to think that the balance in the world came about by coincidence? He cannot be any material being present within the universe, because His must be a will that existed before the universe and created the universe therewith. The Almighty Creator is One in whom everything finds existence, yet whose existence is without any beginning or end.
Evolutionists rely not on science but on materialist philosophy and they distort science to make it agree with this philosophy. While Science leads us to the conclusion that the universe has a Creator and this Creator is perfect in might, wisdom and knowledge. This can be seen in scientists' opinions.
A geneticist and an outspoken evolutionist from Harvard University, Richard Lewontin, confesses to this truth:
“ It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, so we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door “.
Isaac Newton, the great physicist, believed that the creator of earth and space was the same, and had to be explained by the same laws. He expanded this view in his book stating that the perfect system of the sun and planets could only survive under the control and dominance of a mighty and wise being.
The physicist, William Thompson who founded thermodynamics, also believed in God. He had strongly opposed Darwin's theory of evolution and totally rejected it. He explained shortly before his death that when it looks at the origins of life, science certainly confirms the existence of that Great Power.
Robert Matthews (physicist gets BA (Hons) Physics, Corpus Christi College, University of Oxford, 1981), states the same fact in his book published in 1992 where he explains that DNA molecules were created by God. Matthews says that all these stages proceed in a perfect harmony from a single cell to a living baby, then to a little child, and finally to an adolescent.
All these events can be explained only by a miracle, just as in all the other stages of biology. Matthews asks how such a perfect and complex organism can emerge from such a simple and tiny cell and how a glorious HUMAN is created from a cell even smaller than the dot on the letter. He finally concludes that this is nothing short of a miracle.
All of this evidence leads us to the conclusion that the universe works with a certain "consciousness". What, then, is the source of this consciousness? Surely it is neither the living nor the non-living beings in it. Nor can they be the ones that maintain the harmony and preserve the order.
The existence and glory of God reveals itself in countless proofs in the universe.
No one sees or hears God, nor are we able to use our senses to make some kind of contact with Him. However, we recognize this entire universe could not possibly come into existence on its own. Something had to design it all and then put it into motion. This is beyond our ability to do, yet it is something we can understand. In fact, there is not even a single man on earth who will not accept this evident reality from the heart.
