From Science to the Realization of God

UNIVERSAL EVIDENCE OF GOD AND THE HEREAFTER laws come from? Hasn’t Krauss passed the buck? Legitimate questions. But ones we will probably never be able to answer.” ...[The fine-tuning problem] For the past 50 years or so, physicists have become more and more increasingly aware that various fundamental parameters of our universe appear to be fine-tuned to allow the emergence of life—not only as we know it but the life of any kind. For example, if the nuclear force were slightly stronger than it is, then all of the hydrogen atoms in the infant universe would have fused with other hydrogen atoms to make helium, and there would be no hydrogen left. No hydrogen means no water. On the other hand, if the nuclear force were substantially weaker than it is, then the complex atoms needed for biology could not hold together. In another, even more striking example, if the “cosmic dark energy” discovered by scientists 15 years ago were a little denser than it actually is, our universe would have expanded so rapidly that matter could never have pulled itself together to form stars. If the dark energy were a little smaller, the universe would have collapsed long before stars had time to form. Atoms are made of stars. Without stars, there would be no atoms and no life. So, the question is: Why? Why do these parameters lie in the narrow range that allows life? (Book: Why Science Does Not Disprove God by mathematician Amir D. Aczel, who is currently a researcher in the history of science at Boston University.) In recent decades, scientists have revealed plenty of good evidence clearly showing that the universe is not eternal
