"The Universe Did Not 'Just Happen'" 09/15/02 Past/Future Articles |
|
The word of God tells us that in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth (Gen. 1:1). He created the universe composed of (so we are told) over two million five hundred thousand galaxies. The sun which heats our galaxy is poised in space at ninety three million miles from the earth. If it were just ten percent closer, it would literally burn everything to a crisp. If it were just ten percent farther, eventually temperatures would drop so dramatically that live as we know it would perish. The moon, which is precision-placed by God at two hundred and forty thousand miles from the earth. If it were just one-fifth closer it would cause thirty-five to fifty feet tides over the earth twice a day. The earth is traveling around the sun at a speed of seventy thousand miles an hour, that’s nineteen miles per second. The solar system itself is traveling through space at a speed of over six hundred thousand miles per hour, in a path so large it takes a estimated two hundred and twenty million years just to complete one orbit. There is no logic in the evolution theory of “just happened.” To be continued.
