Do you think the Laws of nature validate in some way that there must be a God somewhere?

When you take notice of the exactness in the order in our Solar system. The distance between the sun and our planet is perfectly align to harbor life. That if our Planet move or tilt closer to the sun we all would burn up. That if our planet moved away from its sun by a few knots we would freeze to death.

Could the exactness and preciseness and order have all happen by blind chance or did a God(Supernatural being) arrange the time and distance perfectly in our Solar system so that we can have life.

The Bible declares in Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth".

What are your thoughts on this question. Much feedback is welcome. In search of Truth.

Creation or Blind chance.

Evolution has as many unknowns as Creationism. The difference is God tells us to live by faith. Those of us who do, could care less about what those who do not believe think. Those who live by evolution yearn to know all of the answers and will die without them. I would rather look forward to the last days of my life than live my life dreading the end.

Well, who knows... there are also BILLIONS and BILLIONS of stars, with probably MILLIONS of planets in our solar system, many of which are too far out, or too far in, to support carbon-based, air breathing, water-consuming life as we know it. So the circumstances are precisely right here (for life as we know it right now) but that doesn't mean that there can't be life other places (based on pure odds) or life in a form that we can't comprehend right now.
Just last month, astronomers found another planet that might have conditions similar to earth's:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliese_581_c

(Further, I disagree that if our planet was further away or closer to the sun by "a few knots" that we'd freeze or burn up. Mars is significantly farther away from the sun, yet it is nearly habitable. Venus is not that much closer, yet it is pretty much uninhabitable. The point is that there's a reasonable range for our life to exist and there are other factors that affect the ability of a planet to cerate life.)

This is not to doubt Genesis 1:1; could there be a "creator" or an "intelligent designer" or some super-physical force that fashioned the laws of physics and set the big bang into motion? Sure. But did that designer have to drop planets and stars like chocolate chips into the cookie that is the universe? No.

Your argument assumes the answer -- the only way it could ahve worked is if God created it. But if we were purple, nitrogen breathing, and had a body temperature near absolute zero, we'd think the same thing. So just because we are doesn't mean that God made us.

"Blind chance" is not at all how science would describe it. Why are you describing what scientists think in that way? A better question might be, why do your preachers describe it like that?

You are looking at this question from the wrong end of the microscope. The solar system is not the way it is so it could foster life on earth. Life on earth exists the way it does because the conditions on earth were favourable to life existing.

"If the earth was any closer would would burn up." Yawn. If the earth had been closer, we never would have been around to be burned up, much less have this discussion.

No matter how improbable that first spark of life might have been, considering the sheer number of star systems we know about, the odds of it happening somewhere are very good indeed. Where else would we be having this conversation other than a planet where life and intelligence had evolved?

There is no scientific evidence that validates how our universe is created as scientists still have it under investigation. However there are many theories on how our universe is formed including one that speculates the possible existence of a "God" however does not specify it as the god that we worship in our religion but explores the possibility that some form of intelligent being may have created the universe but exactly who we can't prove. However if scientist do find a god chances are it may not be exactly how we speculate it to be in religious texts. Experimentally determining how the universe formed would be infeasible as it can't be reproduced in a laboratory setting. So we can only rely on mathmatical speculations.

Check some of these links from google scholar about mathematical theories of god's existence (not proof but theories)

While not being evidence of a super natural creator, science still hasn't offered a concrete explanation for EVP occurrences.

Electronic Voice Phenomena

While I don't believe that one great and powerful super being made everything in less than a week, I will be the first to admit that super natural occurances do happen. But a true super natural occurance can still be documented and recorded.

if the earth was closer or further away from the sun, you wouldn't be here to ask the question. This is called the anthropic principle, for intelligent life to ask the question of why they exist, they must exist in a universe which is capable of supporting intelligent life. This is not proof of a creator. There may be a trillion other universes out there which can't support life, but there will be no one in them to ask why not.

Science merely studies the fact of the Physical Universe, it's components and properties. It does not study or seek
to know about or undertand the source of it's existence.
How it came about.
So science will never validate or invalidate the possibility of a supernatural or spiritual cause point.

you relatively are not that stupid are you? a million - perfect, so it has consistently existed, it became no longer created. You settle for that "something" could be eternal, you like it to be god, regardless of the shown fact that it relatively is count/power. 2 - perfect, so once you're saying that "god created each and every thing" he created it from no longer something which you're saying won't be able to take place so which you contradict your self. you could say - he's god and can do something - yet you have yet to tutor he exists. 3 - "THIS" universe started out to exist, from the crumple of the previous universe, advert infinitum. consequently the universe became created no longer of course yet supernaturally - it relatively is your pre-end. this is not valid.it relatively is a controversy from lack of expertise and pre-conclusions. so a god coming up the universe is a threat. - sure, it relatively is a "threat" yet what you ought to do is tutor a god exists. merely as a results of fact you "say" he exists and you paradigm does not artwork with out him, you haven't any longer proved it. - From one in each and every of your articles- the apparent question commonly asked is, "the place did this power come from?" - it relatively is a pre-end question. the logical deduction is that the inspiration of the universe is optimal defined by ability of ability of supernatural creation. - No, that may not "perfect" it relatively is "handy". 3. If the ability of the universe became no longer created of course, then it is going to have been created supernaturally. - The "assumption" is that it became "created" there is the possibility that it has consistently existed. They justify this grievance by ability of exclaiming that the supernatural won't be able to be examined. yet this objection fails to renowned that it is the scientific observations and technique that bring about this end. - the assumption is that there is a supernatural ingredient right here, at one time thunder became "supernatural". this is not something yet convenience.

It takes a lot more faith to believe this all happened by random chance than to believe in a creator. The evidence is all around us both seen and unseen.

None! To talk about scientific evidence is to bring an empirical proof to the discussion!... not faith, or personal subjective believes have any value! to declare that nature itself is evidence of a designer is totally infantile and stupid!
