Psalms, Voltaire, and Dr. Arno Penzias
The Psalmist writes,
“The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
“The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”
Voltaire wrote,
“I cannot imagine how the clockwork of the universe can exist
without a clockmaker.”
Voltaire
Dr. Arno Penzias 1978 Nobel Prize winner in Physics
"Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with a very delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to permit life and one which has an underlying (one might say ‘supernatural') plan." Dr. Arno Penzias.
The universe has a creator God who has placed us in the perfect place in which life as we know it can exist. This by itself tells me there is a God.
I was born in the 1950's. at that time black holes, planets in other star systems, many sub atomic particles, that we know of today were unknown. It didn’t mean they didn’t exist. It just meant scientist hadn’t discovered them.
Scientist speculated on their existence because of what they seen in the world around them, postulated a theory and quite often had to wait for science to advance to prove they existed. Some of Eienstein’s theories were not proven until long after his death. Yet Eienstein and others like him believed in their theories. They believed that they would one day be proven. In short they had faith in their theory.
The writer of Hebrews states,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
and
certain of what we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1
So it is with believers in God. We look at the orderly universe around us. We see that everything from the largest galaxy to the smallest sub-atomic particle is perfectly in sync with one another to produce life as we know it on this planet.
The conclusion we come to is that there is a Creator God behind it all.
If we are wrong we have nothing to fear.
If we are right we enter into eternity knowing the very maker of the Universe.
Please think about it.
