DOES SCIENCE PROVE THAT THERE IS GOD-THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE?

  When we consider the laws of the universe we see fine tuning. Fine tuning which demands exactness in quantitative and qualitative values is necessary for human life. 

Without that, life could not be possible for man.   

According to Baker encyclopedia of apologetics- Norman Geisler, Agnostic Astronomer Robert Jastrow observed that the universe is amazingly pre adapted for life. The slightest variation in the Big Bang could cause different conditions which even to a smallest degree would have made life impossible on earth. 

Some evidences: 

 1. If oxygen comprised of 25% instead of 21%, fires would erupt on the other hand if it were 15% humans would suffocate. 

2. If the gravitational force were altered by 1 part in 1/40x10, the sun would not exist and the moon would crash into the earth.

3. If there were too much earthquakes, much life would be lost, If there were too few earthquakes, nutrients on the ocean floors and in river runoff would not be cycled back to continents through tectonic uplift. 

Therefore earthquakes are necessary to sustain life. 

Below are further evidence we can deduce from scientific data that shows that there is God.

4. If the centrifugal force of planetary movements did not precisely balance the gravitational forces, nothing could be held in orbit around the sun.

5. If the universe was expanding at a rate one millionth more slowly than it is, the temperature on earth would be 10,000 degrees C.

6. The average distance between stars in our galaxy of 100 billion stars is 30 trillion miles. If that distance altered slightly, orbits would become erratic and there would be extreme temperature variations on earth. ( Traveling at space shuttle speed, 17000miles/hr or 5 miles per second, it would take 201,450yrs to travel 30 trillion miles.

7. Any of the laws of physics can be described as a function of the velocity of light ( now defined to be 186,282 miles /second.). Even a slight variation in the speed of light would alter the other constants and preclude the possibility of life on earth.

8. If Jupiter was not in its current orbit, we would be bombarded with space material. Jupiter’s gravitational field acts as a cosmic vacuum cleaner, attracting asteroids and comets that would otherwise strike earth.

9. If the thickness of the crust of the earth was greater, too much oxygen would be transferred to the crust to support life. If it were thinner volcanic and tectonic activity would make life untenable.

10. If the rotation of the earth took longer than 24hrs, temperature difference would be too great between night and day. If the rotation period was shorter, atmospheric wind velocities would be too great.

11. Surface temperature differences would be too great if the axial tilt of the earth were altered slightly.

12. If the atmospheric discharge (lightning) rate were greater, there would be too much fire destruction; if it were less, there would be too little nitrogen fixing in the soil.…..
