I have enjoyed beginning a study of the book of Genesis with a series called "Intelligent Design." There are many arguments for a belief in a Devine Creator when you look carefully at His creation. I picked up the following information from the "Answers in Genesis" website:
Strong evidence for a Designer comes from the fine-tuning of the universal constants and the solar system
• The electromagnetic coupling constant binds electrons to protons in atoms. If it was smaller, fewer electrons could be held. If it was larger, electrons would be held too tightly to bond with other atoms.
• Ratio of electron to proton mass (1:1836). Again, if this was larger or smaller, molecules could not form.
• Carbon and oxygen nuclei have finely tuned energy levels.
• Electromagnetic and gravitational forces are finely tuned, so the right kind of star can be stable.
• Our sun is the right colour. If it was redder or bluer, photosynthetic response would be weaker.
• Our sun is also the right mass. If it was larger, its brightness would change too quickly and there would be too much high energy radiation. If it was smaller, the range of planetary distances able to support life would be too narrow; the right distance would be so close to the star that tidal forces would disrupt the planet’s rotational period. UV radiation would also be inadequate for photosynthesis.
• The earth’s distance from the sun is crucial for a stable water cycle. Too far away, and most water would freeze; too close and most water would boil.
• The earth’s gravity, axial tilt, rotation period, magnetic field, crust thickness, oxygen/nitrogen ratio, carbon dioxide, water vapor and ozone levels are just right.
Former atheist Sir Fred Hoyle states, ‘commonsense interpretation of the facts is that a super-intelligence has monkeyed with physics, as well as chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces in nature.’
Science continues to confirm the proof for a cosmic watchmaker whom we know as Yahweh. Whether it is the cosmological argument presented above or many other scientific findings in the areas of genetics, biology, archeology, or any other scientific discipline, the proof is overwhelming. Of course belief in God has never been dependant on enough proof. God has always given plenty of proof as He says through Paul in Romans:
Romans 1:18-20 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
