AVOWED ATHEIST SCIENTISTS ARE TURNING TO GOD AS SCIENCE INCREASINGLY PROVES HIS INTELLIGENT DESIGN Today there are more than 200 known parameters necessary for a planet to support life-every single one of which must be perfectly met, or the whole thing falls apart. (Heb.1:3) [Jesus] is the perfect imprint and very image of [Gods] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty Word of power. The eternal tug-of-war between science and religion continues to be argued every day, but a recent piece in the Wall Street Journal by author Eric Mataxas has taken the internet by storm with one simple title: Science Increasingly Makes the Case for God. (Photo via Gospel Herald) The thought-provoking article, published on Christmas Day, walks us through the history of evolutionary theories in popular culture dating back to Time Magazines famous cover story, Is God Dead? Metaxas takes an in-depth look at how the world was beginning to believe at that time that there was no longer a need for God since science was becoming so advanced. That same year, Carl Sagan concluded that there were two important criteria for sustaining life on any planet: the right kind of star, and the planets distance from that star. (Photo: Eric Metaxas writes the thought-provoking article entitled, Science Increasingly Makes the Case for God. Eric Metaxas/via Gospel Herald) Of course, since then, scientists have greatly revised those two criteria to include over 200, but this realization only goes to further prove Intelligent Design as opposed to the amazingly improbable chance that a life-sustaining planet would form from nothing on its own. As factors continued to be discovered, the number of possible planets hit zero, and kept going. In other words, the odds turned against any planet in the universe supporting life, including this one. Probability said that even we shouldnt be here, Metaxas writes. Today there are more than 200 known parameters necessary for a planet to support life-every single one of which must be perfectly met, or the whole thing falls apart. Without a massive planet like Jupiter nearby, whose gravity will draw away asteroids, a thousand times as many would hit Earths surface. The odds against life in the universe are simply astonishing.
