1. Lesson 2
The Designed Cosmos

2. Lego  to life: In other words, life itself, not to mention a form of life that can intact with the universe like human life, is a scientific impossibility.
Albert Einstein: “The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible.” Chemically you are: - 65% O - 18% C  93% - 10% H (N, Ca, P make up 6% more and 19 other elements make up the remaining 1 so percent)….

3. Three often overlooked realities
Math works but it does NOT do work
Physical laws exist which explain and predict but they can not cause and effect
There is a form of the stuff (matter) of the universe that can comprehend these realities and itself (you and I, but we can only observe
THE UNIVERSE IS A RATIONAL REALITY!
DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT…

4. A look at the numbers:
Sir Fred Hoyle: resonance (nuclear ground state energy) for Carbon formation 1% either way10
Paul Davies (again): Strong Nuclear Force/Electromagnetic Force 1 part in 1016 accuracy  no star formation a 1 in 1040 (Big/small start accuracy) THIS IS NOT A “REAL” # (Hugh Ross example11)
At Planck time (10-43s) a 1 part in 1055 alteration in the expansion/contraction forces (no galaxy formation or complete collapse)12
Sir Roger Penrose PIN POINT ACCURACY to have a universe with a 2nd law of thermodynamics  1 part in 10123!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are MANY more like the above and this is why the “science” is starting to get silly  multiverse, magic math …

5. Arno Penzias- Nobel Prize winner (physics)
“Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was crated out of nothing, one with the very delicate balance needed to provide excatly the right conditions required to permit life, and one which has an underlying plan.” He would also conclude “some people are uncomfortable with the purposefully created world. To come up with things that contradict purpose, they tend to speculate about things they haven’t seen.14”

6. Let us not lose sight!!!
“I wonder at the hardihood with which such persons undertake to talk about God. In a treatise addressed to infidels they begin with a chapter proving the existence of God from the works of Nature… this only gives their readers grounds for thinking that the proofs of our religion are very weak… It is a remarkable fact that no canonical writer has ever used Nature to prove God” (Blaze Pascal). Indeed, the Bible claims that the wonder found in creation directs human beings to the Creator, but you and I know God exists not because of a deeper understanding of science, but rather we have a real tangible and observable relationship with Him. What if we shared HIM with those around us!

7. Above all powers Above all kings Above all nature
And all created things.
Above all wisdom
And all the ways of man
You were here
Before the world began

8. And thought of me Above All
Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me Above All

9. The world has ever known. Above all wealth And treasures of the earth
Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders
The world has ever known.
Above all wealth
And treasures of the earth
There’s no way to measure
What you’re worth

10. And thought of me Above All
Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me Above All
