BELIEF IN GOD AND SCIENCE

power. He has full control not only over the event itself but also over its results. Studies show that our universe is constantly expanding, spreading outward like an inflating balloon. This indicates that the universe had a definite beginning. If the universe were eternal, its expanding nature would have caused it to end by now. The fact that the universe had a beginning also suggests that someone must have brought it into existence. Something that doesn’t exist can only begin when there is already someone who exists and chooses to create it. There are countless signs in the universe showing it has a single planner and controller. If there were more than one, the universe would definitely fall into disorder. For example, the distance between the Earth and the Sun is about 93 million miles. This distance stays constant. If it were to change, the consequences would be severe. For example, if the distance increased to 200 million miles, Earth would become so cold that water, plants, animals, and humans would all freeze. Conversely, if the distance decreased to 50 million miles, the heat would become so extreme that everything, including humans, would burn up. This indicates that the Sun and the Earth have the same Creator. If they had different creators, each might act according to their own will, and the distance between them would constantly change. Due to this imbalance, human life on Earth would not be possible.
