God and Creation

God and Creation
The Bible written to believers in God makes a simple statement,
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” 
                                                                         Genesis 1:1
There are debates in Christian circles as to whether God created the universe and everything in it in six twenty-four hour days, or over the space of millions of years.
For me personally it matters little to my faith as to how God created the universe. He’s God and he could have done it either way.
That being said I would like to quote what some scientist are saying about creation. I got these quotes from a video by Dr. Huge Ross an Astronomer and Astrophysicist who is also a creationist.
In his video “Journey Toward Creation” he states for life to evolve as we know it, more than 200 characteristics must be present. He notes,
“The probability of all these known parameters randomly coming together would be one chance in 10 to the 215th power a probability so incredibly tiny that statistically speaking is impossible. This probability is becoming more remote with every scientific discovery.” 
Since the video came out The number of characteristics believed to be necessary for life is now considered to be in excess of 800. As more have since been discovered since the video’s release.
In his video Ross goes on to quote several prominent scientist,
Physicist Dr. Paul Davies Professor of Natural Philosophy in the Australian Centre of Astrobiology at Macquarie University who formally promoted Atheism said,
“The Laws of Physics seem themselves to be the product of exceedingly ingenious design.[There] is for me powerful evidence that there is something going on behind it all it seems as though somebody has fine-tuned nature’s numbers to make the Universe... The impression of design is overwhelming” Dr Paul Davies
Dr. Arno Penzias 1978 Nobel Prize winner in Physics said,
“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 
Stephen Hawking is quoted as,
“It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us,” Stephen Hawking.
Those quoted above are very will educated men. Men who have studied and continue to study carefully how the universe was created.
They have looked into the heavens and concluded there is a God who created the universe. They have proven what the Psalmist said,
“The heavens declare the glory of God; 
the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 
Day after day they pour forth speech; 
night after night they display knowledge. 
There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.” 
                                                                        Psalm 19:1-3.
Please think about it.
