God and the Universe

delight for Dr. Bethe when he discovered the ‘carbon cycle.’ His wife, Rose, said she was with her husband in the desert in New Mexico one night. In the desert, stars appear to shine with great intensity. Rose looked at the sky and exclaimed, “How brightly the stars are shining!” Dr. Bethe remarked, “Do you realize that just now you are standing next to the only human who knows why they shine at all?” Hans Bethe’s discovery is related to just one tiny aspect of the Truth. He had discovered the ‘carbon cycle’ of the stars. But the question is, “Why is this ‘carbon cycle’ in the stars?” A true believer discovers this great secret through faith in God. Faith in God is a discovery that is greater than all other discoveries. But it is so strange that when a scientist discovers something quite minor, he is overwhelmed with emotion. In contrast, a person of conventional faith claims to have found the greatest reality—God—but yet he experiences no emotional upheaval. Perhaps, then, those who claim to have faith in God have not discovered God as yet! FAITH IN GOD There is a God of the universe—its Creator, Owner, Lord, and Master. The most outstanding evidence for God is the universe that is spread out before us. The universe’s very existence announces that there is a great God who created it and who, with His incredible power, is running it.
