Theoretical scientists have to keep inventing alternative stories to bolster their Big Bang alternative to the Genesis account of creation, because they keep running into brick walls, and the further things progress, the more unlikely their scenario has become. And yet they tenaciously hold to their hopeless theories and fight tooth and nail to keep God out of the discussion. Not long ago I was discussing these things and told the agnostic I was talking to that whatever version of the Big Bang and origin of the universe you hold to, It's the most amazing oopsie in world history. And that got some laughs. But it's a fact. Nothing caused nothing to come into existence and then nothing caused that nothing to explode. That's science. And then nothing caused the processes that resulted in the universe that we now see and all of the life and the beauty we find right here on planet Earth. It was nothing. And then, oops, there was something, somehow. And the chances of that happening on accident, or just by chance, are zero in real terms. Oh sure, you can crunch some numbers and come up with figures, and they do, but it's beyond anything real or comprehensible. To start with, to give the numbers any sense of reality when calculating the chances of our universe existing by natural causes unaided by a creator god, let's establish a bit of a marker for use in comparison. And that's the universe itself. Scientists have done the math and they tell us that the universe is made up of 10 to the 80th power of atoms. You write the number 10 and put 80 zeros after it. What is that number? I don't know or care what you call it. It's beyond our comprehension. But with 10 with 80 zeros after it, or 10 with 80 written with the number 10 in a superscript and a little 80 is how it looks when you represent it. That's how many atoms there are in the universe. Now to come up with odds for our universe coming into existence, It's a complicated combination of more than 50 required quantities and constants. The website titled All About Philosophy provides this explanation about just three of those constants in the following quote. For example, Stephen Hawking has estimated that if the rate of the universe's expansion one second after the Big Bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million That's, you know, the universe would have re-collapsed into a hot fireball due to gravitational attraction. We continue, this is a quote. Physicist P.C.W. Davies has calculated that the odds against the initial conditions being suitable for star formation, without which planets couldn't exist, is one followed by at least a thousand billion billion zeros. I'm continuing, this is a quote, Davies also calculates that a change in the strength of gravity or of the weak force by merely one part in ten raised to the 100th power would have prevented a life-permitting universe, end quote. In other words, there's just no way, but somehow, oops, it happened. And there are at least 47 other equally impossible constants and quantities that are equally impossible in their own right. And not one can be out of sync by even the tiniest measure and the whole thing falls apart. The bottom line is that All this information clearly refutes the idea of a Big Bang by accident as the cause of the universe. This data establishes the necessity for an intelligent mind we call God. It's so clear that you'll find articles like one at Forbes titled, How Probability Misleads Us About the Universe, trying to convince you to ignore all this. We won't ignore it. Real science and accurate mathematical data demonstrate the utter impossibility of a universe without God and that then that is evidence for God unless you are insane with unbelief. But those who choose the sanity of faith In a creator God, our God, can sing with the psalmist in Psalm 95 6, O come let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our maker. His name is Jesus.
