Expanding Universe

It is almost more than I could ever imagine to understand or explain. God created geniuses for this kind of thing and that is not my design nor my calling in life. But, I think we are called to seek the massive complexity and majesty of God that we might be humbled with faith and riddled with peace in the utter expansiveness that is our God.

Have you ever considered the Universe?

This is just one galaxy in the universe. Sparkling with stars, planets, suns, moons, and intense design from our Creator.  Spiral genius stretched out across the sky to show just how GREAT our God is.

We know God made All things. "In the Beginning God created the HEAVENS and the EARTH."  He is beyond the Universe.  Incredible.  I recently watched a You Tube clip with top Cosmologists who can now look at the Universe with cameras and equipment far surpassing ever before.  They realize now that the Universe is stretching (just as God stated He stretched out the Universe) and it is so complex and particular that everything seems placed with design rather than random happenstance.  This from what seemed to be secular cosmologists although not confirmed, but they knew the universe could not be random.

I then read in On Guard that the chances of everything being right where it is with the precision of producing life on Earth is 10(10)power(123)power.  Penrose calculated this and it is so vast we could not even write it.  It is far beyond what they consider a mathematically impossible probability, which is 10(50)power.  This of course being only one reason life without God is impossible.

Then there is the Goldilocks zone in which our Planet experiences in order to produce life.  It is not too close nor too far but just rightly placed in distance from the sun as well as within our Milky Way Galaxy in order to produce and permit life.  We are placed within our galaxy in a specific place in order for us to see stellar constellations and Polaris (the North star) which act as navigation aids for man.  If the Earth were closer to the core of the galaxy there would be too much radiation and gravitational force from the black hole for life to exist. If it were on the outer edges of the spiral arm there would not be enough heavy elements to have formed our planet.  The Earth is the exact distance from the sun to maintain life.  Our sun is the exact size necessary for life here on Earth.  The Moon is the exact size (1/4 the size of the earth and the exact distance from the earth to create the exact right amount of gravitational pull necessary for the tides and ocean currents.   The moon's gravity is of the right strength to keep the earth's axis at a stable 23 degree angle while the earth's gravitational field is of the exact strength to keep the moon in its orbit.  The sun is 400 times bigger than the moon but also 400 times further away so they appear not only to be the same size but allow for the perfect solar eclipse. 
This type of explanation could go on for so long I couldn't possibly continue to write it all here!
There is much more to read about our amazing universe and defending the faith with precision starting with On Guard found at www.amazon.com.
