The Unimaginably Divine Design of Things
Pastor Joseph Clark
“By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.” - Hebrews 11:3
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands” - Psalms 19:1
Did God create the Universe, or did it just happen through some cataclysmic accident? Can something just appear out of nothing by accident?
Renowned Oxford University mathematical physicist Roger Penrose published a paper in which he calculated the probabilities of the Universe accidently coming into creation without a deliberate architect. Penrose’s calculations resulted in the compelling conclusion that the creator of the Universe had an accuracy in all things required to the extent of 1 part in 10 to the power of 10 to the power of 123, that is 1 followed by 10 to the 123rd power.
What is the likelihood of all of the necessary pieces and events to occur for our Universe, our galaxy, our planet, and our own bodies to exist as they do now by accident? The mathematical probabilities are best illustrated in this example:
Have a friend hold a sewing needle across the room from you and with you holding a length of thread, run across the room at him as fast as you can and attempt to thread the needle without reducing your speed. It is more likely that you could thread the needle successfully ten million times in a row without failing a single time than that all of creation happen the way it did by accident or coincidence.
A 747-passenger liner is billions upon billions of times less complex than the building blocks of human life, the dynamics of our Earth, and most certainly of our galaxy or universe. Yet, what are the chances that without a constructor or creator, a 747-passenger liner could somehow just magically evolve or accidentally appear or self construct by accident over billions of years?
“For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So, they are without excuse.” - Romans 1:20
“For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the Earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it empty, he formed it to be inhabited!): “I am the LORD, and there is no other.” - Isaiah 45:18

Remember my analogy of threading a needle a million times in a row, running at high speed, and never missing. When you measure it in these terms, why is it still difficult to believe in a God creator?
There is nothing chaotic about the structure of our Universe. All things exist because of His design. When you look at the design and perfect engineering that goes into all forms of matter, the evidence of God’s recipe becomes obvious.
