Why SALVATION is the ONLY ENTRY PASS to HEAVEN?

                              Why Salvation is the only Entry Pass to Heaven?

Religions are the same

I understand that religions are all the same, and we can know it is true if we see them closely, and therefore all people belonging to any religion or race are looking for a way out for his/her sins and secure his/her own life from God's punishment followed by Great Judgement of God.   A person belongs to a religion not because it is the true religion, or he likes it, but bectoause he was helpless to make a distinction and is born into it. Whatever is their religion, all need to attain forgiveness of sin and Salvation [salvation] to enter into eternal spiritual life with God.

Human race is one in their nature, and their need. All have sinned and are fallen into evil and separated from creator God. This is true, and is proved by all the evil we see and experience around us. Everyone is beset with lies, all cheat, all have lust, all get angry at one time or the other. Sin in human life is hidden from naked eyes, just like the bacteria of

a disease hidden in our bodies.

At the same time all religions have same basic and common teachings. They all believe that man is in sin, and needs salvation, and God is the creator. All acknowledge that murder, adultery, stealing, lying, greed etc are outward expressions of sin within us. They recognize that God is omnipotent. Violence is rejected by all. All religions call upon men to do good works. This Compares religion with good moral organizations.

But in the absence of a living God in them, religion is like a dead body without Life. And is unable to help man know or reach God.

Lost in Religion

Religion is a human effort in search of God; as if, he is lost but on the contrary it is man who is lost in sin. Finite is trying to comprehend the infinite and this is impossible. Religion is a science of interpreting God and spiritual issues, rationally through human mind. Religion is trying to understand God through knowledge just as one studies biology to understand living things or Physics to interpret physical laws.

Creator of Universe

Look at the universe and the vastness of it, and millions of Galaxies, and distances of billions of miles between them. Then are we able to limit the one creator God on the earth into geographical boundaries? And think that he is not one God but many Gods according to our religious beliefs. This argument of national God and Foreign God, our God and your God does not stand logical thinking.

Violence, Greed and Business

The truth is God is one, and he is not part of any human established religious system. To meet him, we have to come out of the four walls of our every religion, because God has always existed and been creating before the religions ever came into existence. Religions are based around structures or buildings, made by human hands.

Salvation

Look at the hatred religious zealots spread around against each other. The violence that takes place is always committed by those who think that they are more religious than others. And when they take such actions their God is pleased with them. Religious centers are the places of Greed, business, money power and lies. By the way Jesus Christ was murdered on the cross by the religious leaders. And the planning and conspiracy was hatched inside the meeting hall of the great Jewish temple.

Source of miracles

Religious people try to impress others by showing some miracle or supernatural act and claim it to be from God. The source of such miracles should always be questioned, as it could be from Satan or demonic forces. We should realize that every power is not God.

And everything that we fear should not be worshipped for appeasement. We should seek protection from a living God. Religion tries to hide the sin within us cosmetically. The external looks good but spiritual life within is dead and hopeless.

Unique Life of Incarnate Jesus Christ

Now I would like to clear the misconception about Jesus Christ. He was and is, always out of the religious systems of the world. He did not direct anyone to any religion, or a religious book, but to himself and said follow me, His own words are proof of that.

He said “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father God, but through me”. Bible .John.14:6.

This he could proclaim because he proved that he himself was the incarnate son of God, who came to save man from sin, and lead him to God. He himself came down from Heaven.

Christ was unique in his birth. He was a historical person born 2000 years ago, and all that is said and written about him is not fiction but truth. Every prophecy concerning him dating thousands of years was fulfilled accurately in his life.

He was born into a poor humble family, to a virgin, as a sign from God of his divinity and uniqueness.

He was not born in the religious town of Jerusalem, but a small insignificant village. He never issued any political statement during his life on earth, although he lived under the oppressive rule of the Romans. He refused to become the King of the Jews when people so demanded. He revealed the spiritual truth that no one can serve God and money. His own people of the time rejected him.

His Message contradicted religious system

His message was unique and unheard of before. He exposed sin, to reflect the way God views it. He equated Murder with anger, and adultery to lustful thought. He spoke against externalism, and demanded the inward renewal of man with the Holy Spirit of the living God.

He exposed the hypocrisy of the religious leaders. He said they did not follow what they preached. They give alms to get a name for themselves. They make long, repetitive and loud prayers to impress other people. When they fast, it is for others to see. They impress people with the kind of long and flowing religious robes they wear. They want people to garland and respect them and call them their Guru. They like to sit in the chief places during religious ceremonies.

Jesus taught through his life and teachings that whoever is great should be like a servant. He himself washed the feet of his disciples and asked his followers to imitate such life. On one occasion the religious authorities’ brought a woman caught in sexual immorality to be killed by stoning according to the law of their scriptures but he rescued the woman, by asking the sinless among them to throw the first stone and exposed sin in all humans. He said love your enemies pray for them that hate you. He cleansed the Jewish temple by removing the businesses from the premises that had turned it into a house of thieves. He urged sinners to repent from their evil ways He loved them and was their friend and welcomed them into the Kingdom of God. He pointed out that sin, was not just in visible action but invisible thoughts, attitudes and intentions. One could be outwardly religious but inside full of evil and sin. Jesus Christ exposed the hypocrisy, greed and power hunger of religious leaders.

Miracles of Jesus Christ

He showed his divinity by his numerous miracles that he did to help the people. He calmed the turbulent sea and stilled a storm. He was able to walk on the water. He multiplied 5 loaves to feed more than 5000 people. He healed people from diseases.

He touched and healed the lepers. He restored the eyes of the blind. He raised dead people and gave them new life.

He cast out demons from those afflicted by evil powers.

Christian Religion in problem

Christianity as a religion was created two hundred years after the ascension of Jesus Christ by some political leaders and Emperors. He did not start the Christian religion, and he opposed the existing religious systems all his life. The present religious form of Christianity is a mess. They follow their own man made traditions and teachings rather than the teachings revealed through Jesus Christ. There is lot of materialism, and hypocrisy. They say one thing and do the other. They depend on money and are greedy. They have become enemies of Christ by making the idols of Jesus Christ and other so called man made saints and placing them in Churches. This is the ugly form of the Christian religion today. This system is different from those who are true believers of Christ, and follow him and have attained Salvation through the sacrifice and blood of Christ, and have transformed lives. This is Christian life not Christian religion.

Conversion according to Jesus Christ

Lord Jesus wanted people to turn to God not to a religion. And believe in him whom the Father God has sent from heaven for the salvation of mankind. The one conversion mentioned in the Bible is for a man to convert and become like a child.

He calls the religious leaders, who convert people for ulterior reasons as hypocrites who travel across sea and land to make one convert. Such a convert is twice as bad as they are themselves, and thus heading for eternal condemnation of hell. He was opposed to conversion from one religious system, to another religious system.

God does not just want people to be better people, but rather spiritually transformed. They are made into a new creation by the miraculous work of his Holy Spirit and become spiritual and holy people. Religiosity does not take us to God, but believing in the provision of God for our salvation, forgiveness of sin and a new life through Christ.

Christ’s Death on the Cross for our Salvation

God’s proclamation has been that wages of sin is death. Bible .Rom 6:23.

Jesus Christ was willing to be crucified on behalf of the sin of humans in the world. This he did to become a substitute suffering the penalty of sin on behalf of mankind. On the third day after his death he became alive and came out of the tomb and appeared to the people in Jerusalem. And in the presence of hundreds of onlookers he ascended to heaven on the 40th day after his resurrection. And he has promised to come again and then judgement will take place. Every soul will give account to him.

Today if you visit the city of Jerusalem you can see the empty tomb of Jesus Christ. His death on the cross was the plan of God that revealed his great Love for his creation. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life”. Bible .John 3:16.

Good news is that God loves us and he wants to give us eternal life and save our souls from eternal condemnation in the hell. This is the meaning of Salvation. Any human from any religious background can come to God and receive Salvation [Salvation] through the way Lord Jesus Christ has provided through his sacrifice and shedding of his Holy Blood.

Sin can be forgiven today, because Jesus Christ has the authority and power to do so. Eternal life can be received by calling out his name. Jesus Christ is alive today and you can prove it by asking him in prayer to solve any of your pressing problems, be it any family problems, any sickness, or attacks from evil spirit Pray in the name of Jesus Christ.

Your Prayer of repentance and Salvation

Oh Lord Jesus I am a sinner. You are the Son of God who took the form of man. You shed your holy blood on the cross for my sin. I believe that you became a sacrifice for my sin. Forgive my sin and wash me clean. I repent for all my sinful ways. Give me your Holy Spirit and a new life. I will do your will and follow your ways. Guide me in my life. From

today you are my Lord and my Savior. I worship you. Amen.

Why do scientists believe in God? Did they find any evidence to Believe?

Quotes from Scientists Regarding Design of the Universe

Introduction

Does science lead us down a road that ends in the naturalistic explanation of everything we see? In the nineteenth century, it certainly looked as though science was going in that direction. The "God of the gaps" was finding himself in a narrower and narrower niche. However, 20^th century and now 21^st century science is leading us back down the road of design - not from a lack of scientific explanation, but from scientific explanation that requires an appeal to the extremely unlikely - something that science does not deal well with. As a result of the recent evidence in support of design, many scientists now believe in God. According to a recent article:

"I was reminded of this a few months ago when I saw a survey in the journal Nature. It revealed that 40% of American physicists, biologists and mathematicians believe in God--and not just some metaphysical abstraction, but a deity who takes an active interest in our affairs and hears our prayers: the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."(1)

The degree to which the constants of physics must match a precise criteria is such that a number of agnostic scientists have concluded that there is some sort of "supernatural plan" or "Agency" behind it. Here is what they say:

The quotes

Fred Hoyle (British astrophysicist): "A common sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a superintellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as with chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question." (2)

George Ellis (British astrophysicist): "Amazing fine tuning occurs in the laws that make this [complexity] possible. Realization of the complexity of what is accomplished makes it very difficult not to use the word 'miraculous' without taking a stand as to the ontological status of the word." (3)

Paul Davies (British astrophysicist): "There is for me powerful evidence that there is something going on behind it all....It seems as though somebody has fine-tuned nature’s numbers to make the Universe....The impression of design is overwhelming". (4)

Paul Davies: "The laws [of physics] ... seem to be the product of exceedingly ingenious design... The universe must have a purpose". (5)

Alan Sandage (winner of the Crawford prize in astronomy): "I find it quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There has to be some organizing principle. God to me is a mystery but is the explanation for the miracle of existence, why there is something instead of nothing." (6)

John O'Keefe (astronomer at NASA): "We are, by astronomical standards, a pampered, cosseted, cherished group of creatures.. .. If the Universe had not been made with the most exacting precision we could never have come into existence. It is my view that these circumstances indicate the universe was created for man to live in." (7)

George Greenstein (astronomer): "As we survey all the evidence, the thought insistently arises that some supernatural agency - or, rather, Agency - must be involved. Is it possible that suddenly, without intending to, we have stumbled upon scientific proof of the existence of a Supreme Being? Was it God who stepped in and so providentially crafted the cosmos for our benefit?" (8)

Arthur Eddington (astrophysicist): "The idea of a universal mind or Logos would be, I think, a fairly plausible inference from the present state of scientific theory." (9)

Arno Penzias (Nobel prize in physics): "Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, one with the very delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to permit life, and one which has an underlying (one might say 'supernatural') plan." (10)

Roger Penrose (mathematician and author): "I would say the universe has a purpose. It's not there just somehow by chance." (11)

Tony Rothman (physicist): "When confronted with the order and beauty of the universe and the strange coincidences of nature, it's very tempting to take the leap of faith from science into religion. I am sure many physicists want to. I only wish they would admit it." (12)

Vera Kistiakowsky (MIT physicist): "The exquisite order displayed by our scientific understanding of the physical world calls for the divine." (13)

Robert Jastrow (self-proclaimed agnostic): "For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries." (14)

Stephen Hawking (British astrophysicist): "Then we shall… be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason - for then we would know the mind of God." (15)

Frank Tipler (Professor of Mathematical Physics): "When I began my career as a cosmologist some twenty years ago, I was a convinced atheist. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that one day I would be writing a book purporting to show that the central claims of Judeo-Christian theology are in fact true, that these claims are straightforward deductions of the laws of physics as we now understand them. I have been forced into these conclusions by the inexorable logic of my own special branch of physics." (16) Note: Tipler since has actually converted to Christianity, hence his latest book, The Physics Of Christianity.

Alexander Polyakov (Soviet mathematician): "We know that nature is described by the best of all possible mathematics because God created it."(17)

Ed Harrison (cosmologist): "Here is the cosmological proof of the existence of God – the design argument of Paley – updated and refurbished. The fine tuning of the universe provides prima facie evidence of deistic design. Take your choice: blind chance that requires multitudes of universes or design that requires only one.... Many scientists, when they admit their views, incline toward the teleological or design argument." (18)

Edward Milne (British cosmologist): "As to the cause of the Universe, in context of expansion, that is left for the reader to insert, but our picture is incomplete without Him [God]." (19)

Barry Parker (cosmologist): "Who created these laws? There is no question but that a God will always be needed." (20)

Drs. Zehavi, and Dekel (cosmologists): "This type of universe, however, seems to require a degree of fine tuning of the initial conditions that is in apparent conflict with 'common wisdom'." (21)

Arthur L. Schawlow (Professor of Physics at Stanford University, 1981 Nobel Prize in physics): "It seems to me that when confronted with the marvels of life and the universe, one must ask why and not just how. The only possible answers are religious. . . . I find a need for God in the universe and in my own life." (22)

Henry "Fritz" Schaefer (Graham Perdue Professor of Chemistry and director of the Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry at the University of Georgia): "The significance and joy in my science comes in those occasional moments of discovering something new and saying to myself, 'So that's how God did it.' My goal is to understand a little corner of God's plan." (23)

Wernher von Braun (Pioneer rocket engineer) "I find it as difficult to understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the presence of a superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science." (24)

Carl Woese (microbiologist from the University of Illinois) "Life in Universe - rare or unique? I walk both sides of that street. One day I can say that given the 100 billion stars in our galaxy and the 100 billion or more galaxies, there have to be some planets that formed and evolved in ways very, very like the Earth has, and so would contain microbial life at least. There are other days when I say that the anthropic principal, which makes this universe a special one out of an uncountably large number of universes, may not apply only to that aspect of nature we define in the realm of physics, but may extend to chemistry and biology. In that case life on Earth could be entirely unique." (25)

Antony Flew (Professor of Philosophy, former atheist, author, and debater) "It now seems to me that the findings of more than fifty years of DNA research have provided materials for a new and enormously powerful argument to design." (26)

Frank Tipler (Professor of Mathematical Physics): "From the perspective of the latest physical theories, Christianity is not a mere religion, but an experimentally testable science." (27)

Is God Real? or Is there a God?

Is God Real? Does Science Answer "Is There a God?"
by Rich Deem

Introduction

Does God Exist?

The reality of God's existence is the most important question, since it has eternal consequences. The evidence for God's existence comes primarily from the design of the universe. It is virtually impossible that all the physical laws would just happen to be tightly constrained by chance in order for stars and galaxies to exist.

Rich Deem

Part 1 of the introduction for non-believers showed that strong atheism contradicts its own worldview by believing the universe has a natural cause despite the lack of observational evidence for such a belief. However, since there is no direct observational evidence regarding the origin of the universe, why should one believe the equally unobserved hypothesis that God created the universe? Although there is no direct evidence for the cause of the universe, we now have a fair amount of knowledge about the early history of the universe and the laws that govern it, which provide us with indirect evidence that a super-intelligent Agent designed the universe. In order to keep this essay brief, much of the supporting information will not be included. However, you can click the links to the full-length articles for the details.

Detecting the non-physical

Atheists tend to fall into one of two camps. First, are the atheists who say that science cannot have anything to say about the existence of God. However, recently, the "new atheists" think that they can prove the non-existence of God through science. Although science cannot directly detect God, it can examine His creation. Consider the non-physical concept of love. We all accept that love exists, although it cannot be directly measured by science. However, if we observe those who love each other, we can indirectly measure the affect of love on these individuals' actions. For example, we might notice that they spend a lot of time together, they are constantly helping each other in various ways, and they come to each other's defense when the other is threatened in some way. Although we cannot measure love directly, we can measure the indirect effects of love. Likewise, although we cannot measure God directly, we can examine the universe to detect God's imprint on the physical world.

Evidence for design?

The best evidence for design can be seen in the nature of the universe and how it came to be. The process of discovery continues, since one of the fundamental properties of the universe, dark energy (or the cosmological constant), was discovered late in the last century. New studies continue to add to our knowledge about the universe and its extremely unlikely makeup.

The Big Bang

The Big Bang theory states that the universe arose from a singularity of virtually no size, which gave rise to the dimensions of space and time, in addition to all matter and energy. At the beginning of the Big Bang, the four fundamental forces began to separate from each other. Early in its history (10^-36 to 10^-32 seconds), the universe underwent a period of short, but dramatic, hyper-inflationary expansion. The cause of this inflation is unknown, but was required for life to be possible in the universe.

Excess quarks

Quarks and antiquarks combined to annihilate each other. Originally, it was expected that the ratio of quarks and antiquarks to be exactly equal to one, since neither would be expected to have been produced in preference to the other. If the ratio were exactly equal to one, the universe would have consisted solely of energy - not very conducive to the existence of life. However, recent research showed that the charge�parity violation could have resulted naturally given the three known masses of quark families.¹ However, this just pushes fine tuning a level down to ask why quarks display the masses they have. Those masses must be fine tuned in order to achieve a universe that contains any matter at all.

Large, just right-sized universe

Even so, the universe is enormous compared to the size of our Solar System. Isn't the immense size of the universe evidence that humans are really insignificant, contradicting the idea that a God concerned with humanity created the universe? It turns out that the universe could not have been much smaller than it is in order for nuclear fusion to have occurred during the first 3 minutes after the Big Bang. Without this brief period of nucleosynthesis, the early universe would have consisted entirely of hydrogen.² Likewise, the universe could not have been much larger than it is, or life would not have been possible. If the universe were just one part in 10⁵⁹ larger,³ the universe would have collapsed before life was possible. Since there are only 10⁸⁰ baryons in the universe, this means that an addition of just 10²¹ baryons (about the mass of a grain of sand) would have made life impossible. The universe is exactly the size it must be for life to exist at all.

Early evolution of the universe

Cosmologists assume that the universe could have evolved in any of a number of ways, and that the process is entirely random. Based upon this assumption, nearly all possible universes would consist solely of thermal radiation (no matter). Of the tiny subset of universes that would contain matter, a small subset would be similar to ours. A very small subset of those would have originated through inflationary conditions. Therefore, universes that are conducive to life "are almost always created by fluctuations into the[se] 'miraculous' states," according to atheist cosmologist Dr. L. Dyson.⁴

Just right laws of physics

The laws of physics must have values very close to those observed or the universe does not work "well enough" to support life. What happens when we vary the constants? The strong nuclear force (which holds atoms together) has a value such that when the two hydrogen atoms fuse, 0.7% of the mass is converted into energy. If the value were 0.6% then a proton could not bond to a neutron, and the universe would consist only of hydrogen. If the value were 0.8%, then fusion would happen so readily that no hydrogen would have survived from the Big Bang. Other constants must be fine-tuned to an even more stringent degree. The cosmic microwave background varies by one part in 100,000. If this factor were slightly smaller, the universe would exist only as a collection of diffuse gas, since no stars or galaxies could ever form. If this factor were slightly larger, the universe would consist solely of large black holes. Likewise, the ratio of electrons to protons cannot vary by more than 1 part in 10³⁷ or else electromagnetic interactions would prevent chemical reactions. In addition, if the ratio of the electromagnetic force constant to the gravitational constant were greater by more than 1 part in 10⁴⁰, then electromagnetism would dominate gravity, preventing the formation of stars and galaxies. If the expansion rate of universe were 1 part in 10⁵⁵ less than what it is, then the universe would have already collapsed. The most recently discovered physical law, the cosmological constant or dark energy, is the closest to zero of all the physical constants. In fact, a change of only 1 part in 10¹²⁰ would completely negate the effect. The physical constants required to produce carbon and oxygen in stars is also narrowly fine tuned. A value for Hoyle state 2% higher than the measured value would prevent the formation of carbon.⁵ A value 2% lower than the measured value would produce lots of carbon, but no oxygen.⁵ Both are essential atoms for life.

Universal probability bounds

"Unlikely things happen all the time." This is the mantra of the anti-design movement. However, there is an absolute physical limit for improbable events to happen in our universe. The universe contains only 10⁸⁰ baryons and has only been around for 13.8 billion years (10¹⁸ sec). Since the smallest unit of time is Planck time (10^-45 sec),⁶ the lowest probability event that can ever happen in the history of the universe is:

1/10⁸⁰ x 1/10¹⁸ x 1/10⁴⁵ =1/10¹⁴³

So, although it would be possible that one or two constants might require unusual fine-tuning by chance, it would be virtually impossible that all of them would require such fine-tuning. Some physicists have indicated that any of a number of different physical laws would be compatible with our present universe. However, it is not just the current state of the universe that must be compatible with the physical laws. Even more stringent are the initial conditions of the universe, since even minor deviations would have completely disrupted the process. For example, adding a grain of sand to the weight of the universe now would have no effect. However, adding even this small amount of weight at the beginning of the universe would have resulted in its collapse early in its history.

What do cosmologists say?

Even though many atheists would like to dismiss such evidence of design, cosmologists know better, and have made statements such as the following, which reveal the depth of the problem for the atheistic worldview:

• "This type of universe, however, seems to require a degree of fine-tuning of the initial conditions that is in apparent conflict with 'common wisdom'."⁷
• "Polarization is predicted. It's been detected and it's in line with theoretical predictions. We're stuck with this preposterous universe."⁸
• "In all of these worlds statistically miraculous (but not impossible) events would be necessary to assemble and preserve the fragile nuclei that would ordinarily be destroyed by the higher temperatures. However, although each of the corresponding histories is extremely unlikely, there are so many more of them than those that evolve without "miracles," that they would vastly dominate the livable universes that would be created by Poincare recurrences. We are forced to conclude that in a recurrent world like de Sitter space our universe would be extraordinarily unlikely."⁹

Speculative "solutions" to the design "problem"

The newest "solution" to design in the universe is a belief in the multi-universe theory. This theory requires one to believe that there are more universes in existence than the number of all the subatomic particles that exist in our universe. Our universe just happened to be one of the few that is able to support life. Here is what a recent article from Science says about this hypothetical "multiverse" spinning off an "infinity" of other universes:

"Uncomfortable with the idea that physical parameters like lambda [cosmological constant] are simply lucky accidents, some cosmologists, including Hawking, have suggested that there have been an infinity of big bangs going off in a larger 'multiverse,' each with different values for these parameters. Only those values that are compatible with life could be observed by beings such as ourselves."¹⁰

What scientific evidence exists to support the multiverse model? None! Not only is there no evidence, the physics of our own universe requires that we will never be able to obtain any evidence about any other universe (even if it does exist). Even secular websites admit that such ideas amount to nothing more than unfalsifiable metaphysics:

"Appeals to multiple or "parallel" cosmoses or to an infinite number of cosmic "Big Bang/Crunch" oscillations as essential elements of proposed mechanisms are not acceptable in submissions due to a lack of empirical correlation and testability. Such beliefs are without hard physical evidence and must therefore be considered unfalsifiable, currently outside the methodology of scientific investigation to confirm or disprove, and therefore more mathematically theoretical and metaphysical than scientific in nature. Recent cosmological evidence also suggests insufficient mass for gravity to reverse continuing cosmic expansion. The best cosmological evidence thus far suggests the cosmos is finite rather than infinite in age."¹¹

According to Paul Davies:

"Whether it is God, or man, who tosses the dice, turns out to depend on whether multiple universes really exist or not�.If instead, the other universes are relegated to ghost worlds, we must regard our existence as a miracle of such improbability that it is scarcely credible."

Theistic solution - measurable design

On the other hand, the deist or theist says that God designed the universe with just the right laws of physics. Note that neither the multiverse nor the "God hypothesis" is testable. However, the "God hypothesis" is much simpler. The naturalistic explanation requires the presence of a complicated, unproved super universe that has the capacity to randomly spew out an infinite number of universes with different laws of physics. How does this hypothetical super universe know how to do this? Why would it even want to do this? Ultimately, why should there be any universe at all? None of these questions are logically explained by naturalism. Only an intelligent Being would be motivated and expected to produce any kind of universe such as what we see. If we use Occam's razor, which states that one should use the simplest logical explanation for any phenomenon, we would eliminate the super universe/multi-universe explanation in favor of the simpler God-designed universe model. The evidence for design in the universe and biology is so strong that Antony Flew, a long-time proponent of atheism, renounced his atheism in 2004 and now believes that the existence of a Creator is required to explain the universe and life in it. Likewise, Frank Tipler, Professor of the Department of Mathematics at Tulane University, and a former atheist, not only became a theist, but is now a born-again Christian because of the laws of physics.¹²

Who created God?

A common objection to the "God hypothesis" is the problem of how God came to be. If everything has a cause, why does God get an exception? The problem with such reasoning is that it assumes that time has always existed. In reality, time is a construct of this universe and began at the initiation of the Big Bang.¹³ A God who exists outside the time constraints of the universe is not subject to cause and effect. So, the idea that God has always existed and is not caused follows logically from the fact that the universe and time itself was created at the Big Bang. The Bible makes these exact claims - that God has always existed¹⁴ and that God created time,¹⁵ along with the entire universe,¹⁶ being described as an expanding universe.¹⁷ Why can't the universe be uncaused? Of course, it is possible that the universe is uncaused. However, there is a tremendous amount of evidence that contradicts that idea (see part 1). So, an atheist who claims to live by logic and evidence cannot arbitrarily assign eternity to a universe that is clearly temporal.

Conclusion

No, God has not left His name etched onto the surface of planets. However, there is abundant evidence that the universe was designed by super intelligent Agent, who purposed that the universe should exist and be capable of supporting advanced life. The design of the universe is just one line of evidence that tells us that God is real and created the universe. The design of the earth and solar system is also quite impressive. Likewise, chemistry and physics preclude the possibility that life evolved on earth. In addition, human beings are remarkably different from every other animal on earth, suggesting a departure from naturalistic processes.

All the Prophecies regarding Jesus were Fulfilled acurately - Thats why it is History

Old Testament Messianic Prophecies
Fulfilled Concerning Jesus Christ

ALL of these prophesies were made hundreds, some thousands, of years before Jesus Christ was born. Looking in the face of how He literally fulfilled them all (plus hundreds more), it is an impossibility that He is not Messiah, Saviour of the world. The ONLY person... past, present or future... who could fulfill all these prophecies is Jesus Christ. See His genealogy starting from faithful Abraham.
