Universe Has Design And Purpose
1. illustration, finding rock or watch on pathway.
2. design of universe
a. innumerable stars, all in "orbit",no collision
b. some stars "thousands" of light yrs away.
c. OUR SOLAR SYSTEM. (only one of 300 million such)
1. includes 1 Sun and 9 planets.
2.many have several moons, rotate different.
Jupiter, 1300 times larger than earth,
12 moons,
4 revolve east to west, 8 opposite
Saturn,
9 moons
1 east to west, 8 opposite
Neptune
2 moons
1 each way
d. our galaxies are like large atoms.
3. PURPOSE
a. earth rotates at correct speed slower would make winters and summers to long, burn & freeze.
b. distance from sun gives right temp.
c. angled at 230gives seasons.
d. moon, distance controls tide so land not covered
e. atmosphere, burn meteors before hit earth, block out harmful rays from sun, etc.
4. COMPARE WITH EYE,
a. self cleaning (special fluid, plus drain hole)
b. self adjusting, changes shape, etc.
c. self metering (iris in pupil changes)
d. hinged to move in all directions
NOT ABLE TO COMPARE WITH ANYTHING THAT MAN MAKES!!!
BUT ALL MEN HAVE THEM, THEY EVEN HAVE TWO
5. SIZE
a. earth = 25,000 miles around
b. sun = 1 million times larger than earth
c. to sun 92,000,000 miles or 4000 times the distance around the earth.
d. Neptune = 2½ billion miles away.
e. light year (186,000 miles p. second times number of seconds in a year) most stars thousands of light years away.
f. our galaxy 100 billion stars (milky way)
g. at least another billion GALAXIES besides ours.
6. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON PURPOSE
a. 1000 m.p. hr at equator; if 100, days and nights would be 10 times longer, nothing would live.
b. vapors of sea would then turn continents to ice!!!
c. if closer land would be covered with water.
d. crust of earth deeper by only 10 ft, THEN NO OXYGEN.
CONCLUSION WHEN LOOKED AT IN SMALLER UNITS.
1. smallest cell more complex than IBM machine
2. each atom a will ordered universe.
DISRUPT = ATOMIC EXPLOSION.
SUMMARY OF THESE ARGUMENTS:
1. universe run by laws = A LAWGIVER (God, Mind)
2. It is run by mathematical principles, HENCE A MATHEMATICIAN (God)
3. engineered with precision, hence an engineer (GOD)
4. designed for a purpose (hence a designer (GOD)
Heb. 3:4, he that created all things is God.
God CREATED MAN, Gen. 1:1,11,21,25, 28, 2:7
a. explains why man over animals, Ps. 8:4-5-8
EVOLUTION "mentioned" in Bible, Isa. 29:15-16; Rom.1:21-25
THEISTIC EVOLUTION????
a. evolution = "the non-miraculous origin of the universe
LEAVES GOD OUT, HENCE NOT THEISTIC!!!!!
b. WOULD RULE OUT N.T. AND CHRIST, cp.
Mt.19: John 1:1-4; Heb. 3:4; 1 Tim. 2:13ff; 2 Cor. 11:3ff;
Man Has A Unique Nature
