Some Unmistakable Signs of the Creator






We live in an amazing universe. It is a universe peculiarly balanced, and purposefully tempered as if to provide a safe host for living creatures.

According to modern astronomers, the universe is expanding. They hold that if gravity had been only slightly stronger, it would have overtaken expansion very early and caused the universe to collapse. Had gravity been slightly weaker, universe expansion would have become a runaway process, not allowing time for the formation of galaxies and stars.

If either of these had occurred, there would never have been an Earth on which creatures could live. This universe seems designed, even meticulously tailored to provide suitable conditions for living. If other basic ratios and constants had been just slightly different, the universe would not have been favourable to our existence.

If, for instance, the strong and weak nuclear forces were slightly stronger relative to the electromagnetic forces, hydrogen would not exist in its ordinary form. This would mean that heavier elements, such as carbon and oxygen - two of the essential building blocks of life - would never have existed.

The strength of gravity is crucial to the existence of life in the universe in another way. If it were weaker, then it could not crush the material in a star the size of the Sun with enough force to ignite its thermonuclear reactions. Only very massive stars would shine, and such stars would probably have too short lifespan to allow for the development of life.

These indications that the universe has been arranged to favour the appearance and survival of life has been taken very seriously by certain scientists. Prominent among them is astronomer Brandon Carter. Modern science estimates that it has taken 4 billion years for human beings to evolve from unicellular life forms. Carter has calculated that the average period for any evolution of this magnitude should take much longer - about 10 billion years. That is longer than the lifespan of a Sun-sized star, and much longer than the period of life-favourable conditions on Earth.

It would seem that intelligent life appeared on Earth despite its high improbability. We are again pulled towards recognizing the Creator.

Signs for the Aware
164. Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of the night and day, and the sailing of ships through the ocean for the profit of mankind, and the water which Allah sends down from the skies, thereby reviving the earth after its death, and dispersing therein all kinds of beasts, and (in) the ordinance of the winds, and the clouds subjugated between heaven and earth: are signs for people who have sense.

(Qur'an 2:164)

Answer 2

Ha, trick question. You left no room to say how sure are you there is a God. 100% means you absolutely believe there isnt, 0% means you dont have a clue. It is impossible to be 100%, because you cant prove it in any definite way. 0% would probably be the most rational response to your question. The person who said he had 3 near death experiences, I think he is pretty stupid. He didnt see anything, so what? 3 near death experiences, and you dont believe in something? How many times do you have to be hit before you block? If in 3 times you still dont realize you were saved from certain death, then theres something wrong with you.

Answer 3

Probably 99% sure. I'm not closing the door, but intellect prevents me from opening it!

Hey "Anne" (above), if someone believes that Japanese gorillas created the earth, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU to say that they didn't??!! How can YOU be so presumptuous??! Saying "God" created the earth is just as mindless and robotic!!! Who made YOU the know-it-all??!

Hey "JoeS" (below), of course you in your unmistakable wisdom can say without any doubt whatsoever that the man with three near-death experiences is wrong!! You pathetic, holier-than-thou, authority on LOSERS!!!! It's too bad that you and all your friends won't have a consciousness after you die--I'd LOVE for you to know that YOUR ENTIRE LIFE WAS WASTED on a man-made concept of magical, "perfect" beings!!!!

Answer 4

I'm 100% sure that there is a GOD.

Answer 5

To be honest, I supppose I have to admit that I'm 10% sure there is no God making me 90% sure there is a God out there. I'm not a "Holy Roller" nor do I go to church, but I find myself praying at night sometimes for the safety of my loved ones and for my Autistic son who I truely believe was sent to me from God himself because I needed my son to teach me some things God wanted me to know.
6 years ago I used to smoke. I smoked for 20 years (Started when I was pre-teen) I remember being terrified that I had really hurt myself through smoking and I wanted to quit desparatley. I remember sitting on my patio smoking a cigarette and pleading to the heavens for some will power to quit smoking.
I remember saying that I put myself in your hands Jesus....please help me.
You know I never touched another cigarette since that day?
There was a few more praying incidents that happened where my request was answered swiftly.
I would always say to myself, "There has to be a God out there." It's just profound because I believe we have a higher power and I believe we all have our paths laid out before us the day we're born. We all have a job on this earth to complete. What that job is? I guess we have to get through life and use our faith to figure that out.

As for the 10% being sure there is no God. There has been times where I questioned the existence of God and it haunts me cause I don't understand a lot about the bible so I don't really know if that will hold me from going to heaven when my day comes. I was raised by a catholic German woman (Whom I love so very dearly) but she painted a God that will punish me for doubting him but I'm just trying to be honest here.

0%

Answer 7

I'm 100% positive that there is no god. I've had three near death experiences in my life, and it was all natural. No "white light" , no "tunnel", no nothing. People tend to listen to what their parents tell them (that's why children are brought to church and christian/catholic school at such a young age). Brainwashing in my opinion.

For Joe S: I'm stupid because I don't believe in a magical sky pixie who tapped his wand and said "poof" and created the universe? How ironic is that...

Answer 8

I am 99% sure that God is real. Just like it states in the bible, God created the world. Who else would have created the world?

Answer 9

100% sure religion was created by primal humans to explain the workings of a planet they didn't understand.

Answer 10

0%. Totally unsure that none of the multitudinous gods of the hundreds of religions exist. They're all equally likely to me, since none of their religions offers experimentally verifiable proof.
