Accidents Happen!

Most people automatically relate the term “accident” to the collision of one or more motor vehicles. Of course, an accident can be anything such as falling off a ladder,  hitting a line-drive baseball through your neighbor’s window when you were a kid, followed by a spanking of course.  Or an accident could be less dramatic though just as serious such as poisoning, which surprisingly is the current number one accident in the U.S.

According to statistics.com, accidents are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. They account for 6% of all deaths and just a tick under 20% of the nearly 800,000 emergency room visits in 2021, according to the CDC.

Of course all accidents are by nature, well, unintentional.  But did you know 100% of all accidents, not only in the United States but around the world share just one absolute common denominator or contributing factor?

The single contributor in 100% of all accidents is physics. That is; matter; motion; energy; force; or causation, more commonly known as cause and effect.

That being said, to presume that the cosmos and our universe have all come together by accident, requires you to venture into the realm of Physics, and by all scientific standards, physics gives scientists a pretty clear understanding.

This is no accident!

To keep this simple, Physics is not concerned with other branches of science such as Geology, Biology, or Chemistry. Physics is the branch of science whose purpose is to understand how our universe behaves with regard to the nature and properties of matter and energy.

Besides some other very complicated aspects, Physics deals with more commonly known mechanical laws of motion, mass, weight, speed, space, and time. It also covers heat, light, and other radiation, as well as electricity, sound, and magnetism. And magnetism involves gravity, which keeps our feet planted on the ground.

Accident vs. “Fine Tuning”

According to recent discoveries in physics, a majority of reputable physicists agree that nearly every aspect of the universe’s fundamental structure, including the primary physical laws and parameters and the initial distribution of matter and energy, is literally balanced on a razor’s edge. Not only for life to have its “origin,” but must remain balanced for life to continue on earth.

Scientists call this extraordinary balancing of the parameters of physics, and the initial conditions for the “beginning” of the universe, as “Fine-Tuning of the cosmos.”

Evidence of Fine-tuning

Robin Collins, Professor of Philosophy, author, and chair of the Department of Philosophy at Messiah University in Pennsylvania, points out in his Scientific argument for God “THE FINE-TUNING DESIGN ARGUMENT”, “Although individual calculations of fine-tuning are only approximate and could be in error, the fact that the universe is fine-tuned for life is almost beyond question because of the large number of independent instances of apparent fine-tuning.

Collins also quotes another world renowned philosopher John A. Leslie who pointed out, “clues heaped upon clues can constitute weighty evidence despite doubts about each element in the pile”  (p. 300).

Fred Hoyle, Britian’s best known mathematician and the father of Nucleosynthesis, who coined the theory phrase “Big Bang”, wrote in [Religion and the Scientists,1959] “I do not believe that any scientists who examined the evidence would fail to draw the inference that the laws of nuclear physics have been deliberately designed with regard to the consequences they produce inside stars.”

“If this is so, then my apparently random quirks have become part of a deep-laid scheme. If not then we are back again at a monstrous sequence of accidents.”

Robin Collins continued in his Argument; “Though a majority of science across the board agreed that there had to be a beginning about half believe it was a big bang.”

“Regardless such a big bang would require the fine-tuning Precision and delicacy that defies human comprehension both in terms of mathematics and constants such as gravitational pull which is not determined by the laws of nature.”

“In the constants were placed arbitrary conditions in which the laws of nature operate at such a balance of matter and antimatter all of these Constants fall into an unfathomable narrow range of Life permitting values.”

{The bottom line, though contrary to secular belief, science not only offers the most persuasive argument in support of the existence of God as our creator, it destroys any assertion otherwise.}

Considering the the overwhelming scientific arguments, and evidence presented, would you now agree that the universe was created by God?
