Where In The Bible Will I Find:

Did The Universe Just Happen?

Imagine this scene. You have purchased a new limousine, and you are showing it to a group of your friends. You explain to them how the metal is molded into fenders, bumpers, tail pipes, etc. You point out the slick chrome trim along with the tires made of a combination of rubber and steel belts. You open the door and show your friends the beautiful sculptured interior of carpet, Corinthian leather, and teak paneled doors. There Is a digital clock, windows that go up and down with the touch of a button, emergency blinkers, rear window defroster and a host of other conveniences. Then one of your friends turns to you and asks. "Who made the car?” Without a moment's hesitation, you reply, "No one made the car, it just happened.”

Can you imagine such a thing? Your friends would have had you committed for mental disorders were you to suggest such a scenario. And rightly so. Yet this universe that you live in is infinitely more complex than a limousine, but you are being asked everyday to believe that it "just happened" by accident. The Word of God tells us that, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" (Gen.1:1) He created the universe composed of over two million five hundred thousand galaxies.

The sun which heats our galaxy is poised in space at ninety three million miles from earth. If it was just ten percent closer, it would literally burn everything to a crisp. If it was just ten percent farther, eventually temperature would drop so dramatically that life as we know it would perish. The moon is precision-placed by God at two hundred and forty thousand miles from earth. If it were just one-fifth closer it would cause thirty-five to fifty feet tides over the earth twice a day.

The earth is traveling around the sun a seventy thousand miles an hour, that is nineteen miles per second. The solar system itself is traveling through space at a speed of six hundred thousand miles per hour, in a path so large it takes an estimated two hundred and twenty million years just to complete one orbit. If the earth traveled only half that speed, our seasons would be doubled, and the intense summer heat would bake the earth, while the intense winter cold would freeze it.

All this is infinitely more complex than anything that man could ever comprehend, but yet, our school children are asked to believe that organic evolution is true, arid these things "just happened" by accident. If we cannot believe that a limousine "just happened" by accident, by what kind of logic do we then say that our great universe "just happened?" It is far easier to believe in God, and that He created the universe, that He put all things in motion, than to believe in the imaginations of men.
