The Intelligent Universe

This principle operative in the universe can be summed up in a single phase: intelligent design. There are billions and trillions of things in this world, but everything, without exception, serves as an example of this thoughtful design. This principle is so universal that a Nobel prize-winning physicist, Dr. Fred Hoyle, wrote a 200-page book supporting this thesis. It is titled, ‘The Intelligent Universe.’ This phenomenal aspect of the universe is no simple matter; it is the ultimate proof of God’s existence. In the making of the universe, the presence of intelligence is proof of an Intelligent Creator. Logically, it is unthinkable that intelligent action should exist without an intelligent actor. Both are, without doubt, inextricably related to one another. Believing in intelligent action and then denying an intelligent actor is similar to believing in a complex machine but denying the existence of the engineer who made it. Dr. Fred Hoyle has rightly pointed out in his book that the Christian church’s violent opposition to scientists during the early development of science still affects people’s minds. They are afraid that if they acknowledge scientific proof of the existence of the Intelligent Creator, ancient religious persecution might return. But this is a baseless fear. After the scientific acknowledgement of the wise Creator, what will remain the force in history will be a true divine religion rather than the tenets of the Christian church.
