GOD'S FINGERPRINTS
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:(Romans 1:20)
Another likely place to look for evidence of Divine handiwork is in the phenomenon called "life". The existence of life is dependent on approximately 2000 enzymes, which are made up of strings of amino acids.
In fact, the odds are 1 in 10 to the 40-THOUSANDTH power! That would be the number 10 followed by 40-THOUSAND ZEROES! To get some idea just HOW LARGE a number this is, it is a number, which exceeds, BY SEVERAL ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE, the estimated TOTAL NUMBER OF ATOMS in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE!
Along the same lines, the science author Isaac Asimov noted in a 1984 article that...
..."There has not been enough matter or time since the beginning of the Universe for the critical hemoglobin molecule to have been formed by random chance."
There are further peculiarities to be noted in the structure of the world around us. For one thing, the structure of the Universe seems to be FRACTALISTIC in nature. That means that each particular part (or microcosm) contains within itself all the substantive elements of the whole (or macrocosm). Are not atoms and solar systems in essence the same thing but on vastly different scales of existence?
Our Human Body is the best example of God existence?
Our Human Body is the best example of God existence?
And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.(1 Chronicles 28:9 NIV)
Second, we find in nature an unexplainable (by the random chance theory) overabundance of the number 7 and centenary sequences. In man, for instance, we find 7 major body parts: the head, chest, abdomen, two legs and two arms. We find 7 orifices in the head: two eyes, two ears, two nostrils and mouth. There are 7 layers of skin or epidermis. It takes a 7-year cycle to replace every cell in the human body. A human being has 7 sense perceptions: sight, hearing. Taste, smell, touch, and two presently unrecognized by science; reason and intuition. The human body excretes 7 types of liquid or semi-liquid substances: tears, nasal mucous, saliva, perspiration, urine, feces, and either sperm or menstrual fluid, depending on gender. There are 7 glands at the base the human brain and 7 bodily systems: nervous system, respiratory system, circulatory system, endocrine system, lymphatic system, digestive system and excretory system. Also, the human body is made up of 7/10ths water. Finally, a human being is capable of pronouncing with precision exactly 7 distinct vowel sounds. They are: "Ah", "Ee", "Ay", "Ih", "Eye", "Oh", and "Ooh". Looking around our planet, we find that 7 basic types of animal life inhabit it: Mammals, Amphibians, Birds, Reptiles, Fish, Insects and Microbes. Seven-tenths of the Earth's surface is covered by water. A rainbow (or spectrum of visible light) has 7 colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. There are 7 notes of the musical scale; Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La and Ti. On the surface of the Earth we find 7 continents: Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, North and South America and Antarctica, and 7 major oceans or seas: North Pacific, South Pacific, North Atlantic, South Atlantic, Indian, Arctic and Mediterranean. Turning our gaze toward the sky above, we see 7 permanent, regular moving objects visible to the naked eye; the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Also, each quarter (or phase) of the Moon lasts 7 days.
The proof of any theory rests in its ability to do two things; first, to account for otherwise unexplainable phenomena; and, second, to anticipate future discoveries. The "theory" of a Universe structured by Divine Intelligence does both. Since human body is composed of 7/10ths water, and the surface of the planet Earth is 7/10ths covered by water, we can assume that, according to our "theory", the ENTIRE UNIVERSE will probably also be found to consist of 7/10ths water (largely in the form of ice). This neatly accounts for the vast amount of unknown universal "dark matter" recently discovered by astronomers. It also seems likely that physicists working on a Unified Field Theory will eventually discover that our Universe is made up of 7 forces rather than four: Strong and Weak Nuclear Forces, Electricity and Magnetism, Gravity and AntiGravity, and a Life Force, and that it can be measured in terms of 7 dimensions: Breadth and Width--dimensions of SPACE; Past, Present and Future-- dimensions of TIME, and the 7th dimension, the dimension of IMAGINATION .
At any rate, the "science" of today seems to have overlooked or misunderstood the abundance of evidence plainly pointing to the existence of a Supreme Being. How could scientists have blinded themselves to such a massive body of evidence?
Science today is the picture of pompous arrogance. Armed with multi-megabyte computers, and endless reams of data, this arcane priesthood claims to have conquered every mystery, yet it cannot "see the forest for the trees". The results are ludicrous. The so-called science of psychology, for instance, believes that it has probed the furthest depths of the human mind, yet psychologists have the highest SUICIDE RATE of any profession! Ardent radio-astronomers in Puerto Rico spent billions in search of "intelligent life" elsewhere in the Universe, yet how would they recognize it if they found it, since science is as yet unable to even DEFINE "intelligence"? Biology textbooks dutifully list the CHARACTERISTICS of life, but nowhere do they DEFINE "life". So it goes in almost every field of science today: tons of data exist on every conceivable subject, but NOWHERE is there the slightest understanding of the most important and basic laws and phenomena.
He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretchedout the heavens by his discretion.(Jeremiah 10:12)
When the time comes, (and it WILL come) that science recognizes the reflection of Divine Power in all things and beings, and admits the discovery of God's "Fingerprints" on all of Creation.
