Physical proofs of God (cont’d)
15. The earth’s gravitational field exactly balances the centrifugal force of the earth’s rotation in order to keep the earth in orbit around the sun.
16. The level of the earth’s volcanic activity is perfectly balanced to recycle earth’s resources. More or less volcanic activity would prevent life on earth.
17. Have you ever wondered why the planet Jupiter is hundreds of times bigger than any of the other planets in our solar system? God had a reason for making Jupiter 300 times bigger than the earth. Jupiter’s strong gravitational pull prevents space debris from striking the earth. Without this protection life couldn’t exist on earth.
18. One of the physical laws of the universe that God created is the speed of light which is 186,000 miles per second. If the speed of light was any faster or slower no life could exist on earth.
19. Our solar system is located perfectly within our Milky Way galaxy to sustain life. Our solar system is two thirds of the way from the center of our galaxy to the edge. If earth was situated anywhere else within the stars of the Milky Way the gravitational pull of those stars would affect earth’s orbit around our sun and thus prevent life.
20. Scientists know the universe began at a single point in our distant past and exploded outward in what is known as the “big bang.” The universe is expanding at the precise speed needed to allow life on earth. If the universe expanded any slower gravity would cause the universe to collapse on itself and if expansion was any faster then heavenly bodies couldn’t form.
21. Have you ever wondered why the earth isn’t a bigger planet? I know I have, especially when I see the size of Jupiter and Saturn. As it turns out, the earth is the perfect size for life to exist. If the earth was 10% larger it would elevate the surface temperature too much for life to exist. If the earth was 10% smaller it would result in a snow and ice wasteland.
22. The atomic structure of all things is very precise and perfectly balanced to support life. If the protons within atoms were any larger or smaller then then molecules could not form the basic building blocks of life.
23. Have you ever wondered why the earth has a moon; other than to give us light at night? As it turns out, the moon is just the right size and just the right distance from earth to influence the wind, ocean currents and tides needed to keep the oceans and the earth clean and refreshing itself with the moon’s magnetic field.
Take some time to go back and mull over each proof of God on my list. Take a few minutes with each proof. Taste it, chew on it and roll it around on your tongue. Visualize them as you use your imagination. Notice the very narrow ranges of each proof of God that allows life to exist. Now overlay each proof on top of each other one at a time, all 23 of them; knowing that if even one of these proofs were absent we wouldn’t be alive today. There would be no such thing as life on earth. Use you reasoning skills here; knowing there are over 175 more physical proofs of God that scientists know about that I don’t. I just don’t believe in 23 coincidences that allow me to live; do you? As I mentioned earlier, the odds of all 23 physical proofs of God occurring together to allow life on our planet is so large as to be an impossibility, without the hand of God. Life exists on the edge of a knife blade and the only reason we stay balanced where we are is the hand of God. The fact that life does exist is proof of God to me and it should be enough proof of God for you too. Scripture says with God all things are possible so we need to accept what God says at face value. There is no other feasible explanation for life on earth.
Isaiah 1:18 – Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord, though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Jeremiah 29:13 – And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
Matthew 19:26 – (Jesus speaking) – With God all things are possible.
Believers don’t need physical proofs of God because we know Jehovah is the one and only living God. Nonbelievers, on the other hand, cannot see or believe in an invisible God and they consider our faith to be foolishness. Nonbelievers will believe scientific facts and what they can see with their own eyes. This list of physical proofs of God is just a tool believers can use when witnessing for Christ in order to get nonbelievers to see the truth of God by what he has made. In Isaiah 1:18, God says, “come let us reason together”, in the hope man will see God through what he has made and then search him out. God has put himself out there. God has done all the heavy lifting for us but his justice requires that man make the free will decision to serve God or Satan. There’s a saying, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” God has put the information is out there that will lead all nonbelievers to holy water of God but it’s up to each individual to make the decision to drink the water of life or not.
Psalm 46:10 – Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
Psalm 18:31 – For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?
Jeremiah 29:13 – And you will see Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
