Is there evidence of a Supreme Designer ? Many who are scholastically capable, feel that that no one brought all life and the universe into existence, but is the product of an "accident".
They, along with others, follow the thoughts of noted evolutionists such as Richard Dawkins and Richard C. Lewontin or of theoretical physicists such as Michio Kaku or Lawrence Krauss or astronomer Phil Plait in believing that there is no God. Sound reasoning does not always come with high academic capablities. The power of greed has been the undoing of some CEOs. But concerning the universe and the life that exists within it, consider this.
(1) distance of the earth from the sun. If the earth were 5 percent closer, life would cease to exist because of intense heat. If the earth were just 1 percent farther away, it would become freezingly cold. The earth is located in what is called the circumstellar habitable zone, where life neither fries nor freezes. Our solar system is located some 28,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way, called the galactic habitable zone where radiation is not deadly and the elements we need are readily available. Just an accident ?
(2) Consider the size of the earth. If the earth were just slightly smaller, the strength of gravity would be less, causing surface water and oxygen to drift away from the earth, rendering the earth lifeless. If the earth were slightly larger, gravity would be stronger and the light gas hydrogen (which is highly explosive, requiring only 1/10 of the energy to ignite as gasoline in the presence of oxygen, in which the flames are hard to see and hard to fight) would not escape at its prescribed rate and build up, eventually causing life to cease by asphyxiation.
Gravity as it precisely is now, allows for water evaporation to reach a point in height (and hydrogen to slowly disperse at a prescribed rate into space), forming (cumulus) clouds for rain but go no further (with the atmosphere divided into 5 layers, troposphere (about 7 miles), stratosphere (about 7-31 miles), mesosphere [about 31-50 miles, as low as -135 degrees F.], thermosphere [about 50-310 miles, reaching over 4,000 degrees F.] and exosphere [to deep into space]).
(3) And this leads up to a question. Why is our atmosphere 78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen ? Because of the precise size of the earth that allows the explosive light gas hydrogen to properly escape, and the inert gas of nitrogen being the major portion of our atmosphere in conjunction with oxygen, what assessment can be obtained ? That this was accidental, that it just happened by chance ?
When a diver is going down fairly deep into the ocean, does he not have to ensure that the gases he breathes underwater are the right combination for his safety ? Since that is so, can we rightly conclude that the exact mixture of gases in our atmosphere was a random act of a mindless theory called evolution ? Does precision or organization ever happen by chance ?
(4) Evolution teaches that man came about through a series of accidental situations, in which amino acids formed "just right" to make a protein. But consider that for a protein to be created, requires RNA (ribonucleic acid) and RNA requires proteins for it be made (it has been estimated that the probability of just one protein of just 100 amino acids forming at random is about 1 chance in a million billion). So how could either one arise by chance, let alone both, and at the same time and in the same place ? And we have not even considered the DNA. nor reached up to the formation of a single cell.
Think of a wall safe with its sequence of numbers. If one number is wrong or out of sequence, the safe will not open. Likewise, if one amino acid is out sequence within a protein, it fails to function. A wall safe was designed by a mind, so should it be accepted that a protein, that is of far greater complexity, came about by accident ?
But consider that a cell has over 2,000 proteins that serve as enzymes. What are the odds of all of them randomly occurring ? They have been calculated as 10 followed by 40,000 zeroes or the same as the chance of throwing an uninterrupted sequence of 50,000 sixes with unbiased dice!" (The Intelligent Universe, F.
