God and the Universe

THE UNIVERSE TESTIFIES TO GOD’S EXISTENCE Inside a galaxy, stars are located at vast distances from each other. The star nearest to our Sun is so far away that it takes its light more than four years (travelling at the speed of 1,86,000 miles per second) to reach the Earth! Now, we must ask ourselves: What has been preserving and maintaining such a vast system of astronomical bodies in such perfect order and arrangement for billions of years without any deviation whatsoever? According to astronomers, it is the mutual attraction between these bodies. It is strange that man understands the meaning of ‘the mutual attraction of astronomical bodies’ but cannot understand the meaning of the word ‘God’ that stands for the Being behind this astounding phenomenon! MEANINGFUL EXCEPTION A strange aspect of the universe is its lack of complete uniformity. In every portion, exceptions are found. These exceptional examples are proof of the fact that this universe has a great Creator. An exception in the universe is proof of intelligent intervention in the universe, and intelligent intervention in the universe is proof of an intelligent Creator of the universe, who can, through His will, intervene to make it possible for there to be an exception to a general rule. For example, the solar system is an exception in the vast universe. Planet Earth is an exception in the solar system.
