PROOF OF GOD

This past week I sat around and read a new book. It was titled "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking. I had to reread many sections over and over to even grasp the meaning of what Mr. Hawking was trying to dumb down for the common layman. I am sure some of my friends like George Smith or Johnny 'Rocket Man' Baker would think it was an easy read and skim right through it. But as I struggled through the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal and the effects of Dark Matter upon the universe I came to realize that the entire universe as we know it operates upon a set of Laws and Principals that are set in stone so to speak. Even if we cannot get the Theory of Relativity to work hand in hand with Quantum Mechanics and each says the other is wrong but both seem to work within our limited scope it doesn’t mean that either is wrong. It’s just so much more complicated that we can’t see the whole picture of what’s going on. As Hawking talked about Singularities that would contain the entire Universe at the beginning of existence before time and space or the universe I came to a realization that the only thing that could contain such unimaginable forces in such a state where even size is nonexistent is GOD. There is no other way it could happen. The Universe around us is so complicated and massive that we as humans with our limited frame of reference cannot even begin to grasp a small portion of the factors involved. Make fun of Sagan with all his Billions if you want but he is on the money with the size thing even if he missed the mark on who put it all together. You see the Universe operates on a complex set of physics so particular and precise that it would not all hold together if even one type of particle did not do exactly as it is supposed to. What I mean is it is no accident that we are here. It was designed and thought out. It was worked and reworked and reworked again and again repeatedly until God got it right. Example the 3 Mass Extinctions here on earth until God came up with us. He would create an eco system and let it run and see how things went then if he didn’t like it or got bored or thought he could do better he would have a massive 'Do Over' and wipe out a lot of stuff and start over. Remember the PRECAMBRIAND PERIOD or the later try with all the dinosaurs. But I digress. What I am trying to get at and not really communicating well is that a lot of people need to have proof of God to believe. The proof is you. Your very existence is proof. Let’s break it down. Hold up your hand. It is the most versatile instrument on Earth and can do anything from wiping your ass to sending a Man to the Moon. It is a thing of flesh and blood comprised of over 148,000 different amino acids in a specific combination. Remember that DNA stuff? Each of those has to be exactly the way they are or they wouldn’t work at all and you would just have a claw or beak or slimy pseudo foot. The laws of so-called evolution do allow for change but to have a spontaneous evolutionary occurrence that is beneficial and not detrimental to a species is about a billion to 1. Factor that by the number of different amino acids and you get impossible. It didn’t happen by mistake it was designed along those previous laws of physics I talked about. Each of those amino acids is composed of molecules and atoms and muons, gluons, electrons, neutrons, quarks, leptons, neutrinos, 1,2,3,4, and ½ spin virtual particles that are so small they work only on a gravimetric scale. If even one of these particles didn’t do exactly as it should every time then you wouldn’t exist. The Universe Wouldn’t Exist. And you thought a Rubix Cube was complicated?

The more I read this book the more I came to realize that God was a very orderly and organized being and that even the chaos in our Universe was designed to do just as it does to fulfill a specific role that might not be all that chaotic when fully understood. Many people think we can only find information about God by reading the Bible and I say, 'that aint so'. You can find out a lot just by observing the world around you. This book proved that to me and it certainly was not written with a religious message in mind. It just brought to light information that wouldn’t exist without a guiding hand. You want proof scratch your head with that hand of yours and look up at the Night Sky.
