Since the dawn of civilization man has gazed in awe at the stars, wondering what they are and how they got there. Although our unaided eyes can only see about 6,000 stars on a clear night, the Hubble and James Webb telescopes reveal there are as many as 2 trillion galaxies, each with hundreds of …

Scientists are rethinking the origin of the universe and its physical laws which make life possible. As cosmologists study our universe, they are in awe of the precise fine-tuning which makes life possible. What they have discovered is that life couldn’t exist unless dozens of physical laws and characteristics in our universe met precise conditions. …

WHAT ARE THE ODDS? After Edwin Hubble’s discovery that the universe had a one-time beginning, cosmologists soon realized that the universe and its laws have been perfectly fine-tuned for human life. The fine-tuning of the universe resulting in intelligent life has scientists scratching their heads about why Earth is the only planet in our galaxy …

Prior to the 19th century, no one had any idea how life originated on Earth other than an act of God. Materialists, who did not believe in God, just assumed a natural explanation would eventually emerge. Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution published in 1859, only dealt with the development of life through natural selection, not …
When Charles Darwin published Origin of Species in 1859, materialists rejoiced. Darwin was their hero because he created a new paradigm where God was squeezed out of science. No longer was the biblical view of creation considered scientifically credible. No scientific theory has impacted civilization more than Darwin’s theory that all of life began and …
DARWIN’S PREDICTION Darwin’s theory of macroevolution states that each species, including human beings, is a link of an evolutionary chain which began billions of years ago with the earliest protocell. His theory states that over several billion years, lower forms of life would gradually evolve into higher species, leaving an abundance of transitional fossils for …

Did the Universe have a Beginning? Why Is Only Earth Suitable for Life? Is the Universe a Product of Design or Chance? Was Life Designed? Did Darwin Get it Wrong? Where Are Darwin’s Missing Fossils? Is a Designer Revealed in Creation?
In the previous chapters we’ve seen how many scientists are now speaking of a “superintellect” who created the universe from nothing, fine-tuned it for life, and designed the incredibly complex “software” coding of DNA. The only other option to an intelligent designer is that somehow it all just happened by what Stephen Jay Gould called, …

Rachel was a bundle of nerves. She could not sit still for long. She would often pace the floor. She tossed and turned in bed at night, unable to sleep. Her family and friends wondered what was wrong with her. More and more, she would, for no apparent reason, suddenly break off a conversation, turn …
