come from? Where did the rotation of the sun and the earth and the rotation of our solar system come from? An explosion is not the answer. It takes a great deal of “faith” to believe that the universe came about by random processes out of nothing and, from the evidence we have seen, this belief is not rational.
Finally, Intelligent Design
We have briefly discussed the “design” of atoms. There is design in the air we breathe. The nitrogen is good for our lungs and it’s interesting to note that despite losses from our planet, our atmosphere, including inert gases, remains a constant 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen, about 1% inert gases and traces of water vapour and carbon dioxide. The composition of air is unchanged until an elevation of approximately 10,000 meters. This is not an accident.
Current theory is that the earth was formed from a dark nebula – a gas or dust cloud without a star. Genesis chapter 1 verses 1 and 2 says “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.” Instead of being “fairytales for simple people” this is a fair description of a dark nebula.
“The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind pitiless indifference”. Richard Dawkins.
This is a pretty bleak assessment. There is (I believe! And hope we have been seeing) strong evidence for design. There are the laws of physics, there is gravity, a constant speed of light and red shifts. There are galaxies and our sun with planets. The moon
