they can predict, well in advance, that a solar eclipse will happen at a particular time on a specific date. For instance, based on calculations, it has been predicted that a long solar eclipse will occur in the year 2132. This solar eclipse is predicted to be prolonged, as seen in 2009. 4. We are astounded when we look at the sky and see numerous stars scattered about. These huge balls in the space for aeons have specific and determined pathways and move about continuously. They travel in their orbits with such discipline and regularity that their location at a particular time can be predicted with complete accuracy centuries earlier. From a humble drop of water to distant stars spread out in space, unparalleled order, precision, and organization are found in the universe. In the functioning of various things in the natural world, there is such a degree of regularity that we can devise laws on their basis. This is undeniable proof of the existence of a Creator and Master of the universe. Predictability, Order, Precision, and Fine-Tuning Newton’s theory of gravity explains the motion of astronomical bodies. As a result of this, British scientist John Cough Adams (1819-1892) and French scientist Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier (1811-1877) could predict, simply on a mathematical basis and without even having viewed it, the presence of a planet that till then had remained unknown.
