THE EXISTENCE AND DISCOVERY OF GOD

Scholars have acknowledged this fact. Bertrand Russell, for example, admits that theologians generally use a method to prove the existence of God which is called ‘argument from design’. According to Bertrand Russell, this method, by its very nature, is based on scientific logic. Therefore, this argument is as true in principle as any other scientific argument. The gist of this argument is: Where there is design, there is a designer; and when the designer is proved, the existence of God is also proved. The scientific study of objects began in 1609 when the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei (15641642) observed the stars through a telescope. This was followed by further advances in telescopic observation until the Palomar Observatory in California was established in 1949, which made it possible to easily observe the skies. This was followed by the invention of the electronic telescope, which was installed in 1990 at the Hubble Observatory in the United States. These and other such studies revealed that the universe came into existence with the Big Bang about 13.8 billion years ago. The solar system was then formed some 4.6 billion years ago. Planet Earth was endowed with liquid water on its surface. Eventually, life and everything related to life came into existence. To further study the Big Bang event, NASA sent a special satellite Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) into space in 1989 to investigate the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB). The data collected by this spacecraft provided crucial evidence in support of the Big Bang Theory. Further research into the CMB led to the discovery of ripples in the very fabric of space-time―gravitational waves originally predicted by Einstein. These ripples were referred to by the scientific community as the “handwriting of God”. All of these and other observations in nature show that the universe is designed to follow a set of immutable laws. Similarly, electromagnetic interactions are one of four known fundamental interactions in nature. These interactions are responsible for the existence of basic building blocks of matter and for the majority of physical phenomena in the world. Electromagnetic interactions are governed by the laws of classical electrodynamics represented so The unparalleled cosmic control and universal balance call out that there undoubtedly is an allpowerful and great God behind it.
