The Universe ‘Speaks’ About God

THE UNIVERSE ‘SPEAKS’ ABOUT GOD Scientific discoveries indicate that God’s existence is an undeniable reality. The Christian Mission of Kerala has published a booklet titled “Nature and Science Speak about God.” This 28-page booklet, the size of a newspaper, makes it clear through scientific discoveries about the universe that the existence of God is a fact and cannot be denied in any way. There are many creatures like scorpions and spiders and many other aquatic and terrestrial creatures that fend off enemies or subdue prey by stinging. There is a very tiny hole at the tip of their sting, through which they inject a kind of poison into the body of their enemy. If this hole were at the very end of the sting, it would close up when the sting was jabbed. In addition, the sting would not work as well in stinging itself. That’s why the hole in the tip of the sting is always slightly off-centre, just like in a doctor’s syringe. This is just a small example. In everything we see, an exceedingly intelligent design is apparent. The universe is not a haphazard pile of rubbish. Instead, it is characterized by great purposefulness and order. Could this have been possible without conscious planning by a Supreme Mind? Consider an example from the world of insects to appreciate this issue. Termites can live in wood, inside which they carve out their homes. Termites build a home that is several hundred times their height. If humans were to make a house in the same proportion, we would need to build a more than one-mile-tall structure!
